...After reading The Unknown Citizen by W.H. Auden I was a little confused about the context of the poem. After rereading it a few times I began to think it was about establishing the American Dream after the War because of the description the speaker gave of the citizen. The speaker says “ But satisfied his employers, Fudge Motors Inc.”, I knew that this was an allusion to Ford Motors which had been a huge factory job, which had been what most men did. Later when the speaker says, “And had everything necessary to the Modern Man, a phonograph, radio, a car and a frigidaire.”, it really helped back up my theory because he was working hard to acquire the nicest things which was huge after the war due to having to scrape and save everything. Overall, I enjoyed the poem. The slight satire caught my interest and enticed me the entire poem. Part Two: After our discussion After our class discussion I found out my theory was completely off. The poem was actually satirical about the “Big Brother” and the mold society tries to push everyone into. We discussed how the speaker capitalizes “the Bureau of Statistics” and how that was the first hint of the satire. The speaker used this to show how the government keeps track of everything. As the poem went on, more fake government organizations came up to show how simple and ordinary the citizen was. The last line “Was he happy? Was he free? The questions is absurd; had anything been wrong, we should certainly have heard.”, emphasized that...

...The Unknown Citizen “He was found by the bureau of statistics to be one against whom there was no official complaint.” In Auden’s poem, “The Unknown Citizen,” he describes an individual who has been found to be without any fault. This persona is described through the perspective of a Statistician from the U.S Government. The unknown citizen served the government perfectly; when there was peace he supported it and when there was war he was ready to fight. He served the Greater Community and paid his dues to the Union. But, this man, has no identity— there is no name used to identify him. Auden then proceeds to ask the important questions in his tonal shift: “Was this man free? Was he happy?” No government statistics can ever answer these kinds of questions. Auden makes his theme clear by showing the blatant difference between the complete statistical information about the citizen compiled by the State and the lack of personal information on him. The poet conveys that statistics cannot sum up an individual and physical facts are an insufficient way to evaluate human happiness. The poet is drawing in our attention by asking these questions, the questions of freedom and happiness. He suggests that the average man is a slave to routine because he follows all the government’s standards: he buys a paper everyday, he’s married and has five children, he has everything necessary to the modern man. And because of this, it can be true that he is incapable of understanding such concepts...

...of the unknown Alina Liu The fear of the unknown is rife in Lord of the Flies by William Golding and “The Sufi Tale”. In Lord of the Flies, the “beast” or the “Lord of the Flies” represents the fear of the unknown, while in “Sufi tale” the watermelon is the symbol of fear. The boys in Lord of the Flies react almost the same as the villagers in “Sufi Tale”, they both cower and are afraid of this unknown. The settings of both stories are idyllic, but the fears have ruined the paradise by causing chaos. However the endings of both stories are entirely opposite due to the leaders’ solutions. Since the settings in both stories are both idyllic, lives should be easy, peace, and happy. “The Sufi Tale” happens in a small quiet agricultural village. Villagers use simple tools and have plenty of trees, fruits, and food. People there have happy lives. Although in Lord of the Flies, the boys’ plane crushed, the island is perfect just like the Eden paradise. The boys do not have to worry about food, because the island is full of fruit trees and small animals that they can hunt such as pigs. Also, the weather of the island is warm, so they do not have a problem about how to keep themselves away from freezing at night. Therefore the island is idyllic, even Ralph said “this is a good island” and “we can have a good time on this island”. Even though the fears of the unknown are presented in different forms in two stories, the chaos it causes does not change. Fear of the unknown is represented...

...In “The Unknown Citizen”, the author, W.H. Auden, discusses the life of a nameless man whom society describes as a “saint”. While describing the actions of the man, the author labels him as “happy” and “free”, two implications that the author and society chooses to believe. Presenting positive attributions of the man, the author comments that the man “was married and added five children to the population” and “was popular with his mates and liked a drink” which, to society, means that he is “happy” in life. Following natural stereotypes, society labels popular people or people with big families as “happy”. Not only was the unnamed man “happy” but he was also said to be “free”. To society, the man was free of worrying about money or his children...

...Carel Bou Maroun Friday, September 25, 2015 Reading Response #1 The Unknown Citizen – W.H. Auden (Pages 106-107) The satiric poem “The Unknown Citizen” caught my attention because W.H. Auden denounces our modern society. First of all, the title of the poem reminds us of Unknown Soldiers’ monuments that exist in many countries. Soldiers are usually remembered for their brave actions but their names are often forgotten and fade away. So, Auden ironically suggests that the “unknown” citizen also deserves a monument because he conforms to government’s rules, and only his actions will persist in archives “This Marble Monument Is Erected by the State”. Auden is satiric against modern governments who only want citizens to obey their norms. Secondly, the unknown citizen is only given a number “To JS/07M378”. The institutions see citizens as numbers in modern society; no citizen has a name in the eye of governments. Moreover, the unknown citizen has no longer his own personality. He lost it by being a slave to the government’s criteria. He sacrifices his own personality by conforming to the government and its norms “For in everything he did he served the Greater Community.” Thirdly, by saying “When there was peace, he was for peace: when there was war, he went”, Auden suggests that the unknown citizen has no opinion. His ideas are those that conform to accepted ideas. He doesn’t stand for himself and doesn’t say what he thinks. He goes along with the flow and isn’t different...

...Wreath Layer Representing New Hampton Middle School at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers would be a huge honor to not only me, but my dad. My dad was in the Marine Corps and he could have been a guard. I asked him if he would have wanted to and he said it would have been the greatest honor he would have ever had, but he had a family that he needed to be with. To be standing on the same marble as thousands of others that have worked harder than ever to be guarding the tomb would be a dream come true for me. I am not that interested in history, but when we saw a video on the guards and what they go through in class I wanted to keep watching it. Ever since I watched that every time I hear twenty-one I think of the guards and how everything they do is based...

...Located at the west end of the Nave, the Grave of the Unknown Warrior remains one of the world’s most visited war graves (“Unknown” 1). The Grave symbolizes all British lives lost during the first World War (Duell 1). On November 11, 1920, the Unknown Warrior became enshrined inside Westminster Abbey (“Unknown” 1). At the burial, King George V placed a handful of French soil on the coffin (Westminster - Dean 1). Afterwards, 100 sandbags of dirt from the battlefields of the War filled the Grave. A temporary stone then covered the coffin, bearing the following inscription: “A British warrior who fell in The Great War 1914 - 1918. Greater love hath no man than this” (Westminster - Dean 1). In the following week, over 1,250,000 people visited...

...Eating sugar - Essay The unknown and the insecure are in many ways one of the biggest fear factors to human beings. It is the fear of not knowing what’s next and how to handle it. The fear of not knowing how to react and the fear of not knowing how to protect yourself and your nearest in a threatening situation. In the short story Eating Sugar, facing your fears is the theme. In addition the story also deals with the differences between how the young and the old handle unknown places and situations. The story takes place in a forest in Thailand. A place that for the daughter Suzanne is perceived as an experience, but for the parents Eileen and Alex, is an unknown and insecure place to be. Eileen indirectly expresses (p.9, l. 79): “Anything could happen” which proves the fact that she is afraid and that fear comes with the old age and with the responsibility of having a daughter you think you still need to take care of. Eileen and Alex acts reserved against the situation of being in the forest without knowing how to get home and they only imagine all the things that could go wrong. Whereas Suzanne takes it all more calm, lives in the present and doesn’t think about what might go wrong. In that way it illustrates how the role as the family protector has actually been reversed by the way the parents have been brought on insecure ground and depends on the daughters acts and knowledge of Thailand. The father, Alex, doesn’t express his fear of the unknown situation, at least not in...

...under our beds are little kid brains running on overdrive ignorance. That’s it IGNORNCE; the lack of knowledge, that is what made us afraid the lack of knowing what is real and what is not. But “knowledge has banished fear” as Athol furgard once said. Once we started to gain knowledge myths and legends started to go against everything science could prove “real”. According to science fear is a motivating force coming from the ability to sense danger and getting away from it. Also known as the fight-or-flight response you mostly see in animals when under attack. People have a fear for the unknown, we aren’t scared to try something new but more at what the results would be. They limit themselves to curtain things that they know and the rest they put on a shelf claiming it too high to reach, because of the fear of what it might hold. Today I urge you to stop putting the unknown on a shelf, start testing with it explore it to its max. There are people who hide away from things that makes them afraid and then there are people who rush after it. These people are called adrenalin junkies. You might think they have gone mad when in reality they are addicted to the chemical compound released in the brain called Adrenalin when it’s exposed to threatening situations.Adrenalin offers a natural high to the person making them feel confident and irestucktabel. These people aren’t psyiopaths there are a difference. Psyciopaths enjoy inflicting pain and fear on others where else...

Variables: X1 = pizza slices, X2 = hot dogs, and X3 = barbeque sandwiches Maximize Z = ($0.75 X1) + ($1.05 X2) + ($1.35 X3) Subject to: $0.75x1+ $0.45x2 + $0.90x3 ≤ $1,500 24x1 + 16x2 +25x3 ≤ 55.296in of oven space X1 ≥ x2 + x3 (change to –x1 + x2 + x3 ≤ 0 for constraint) X2/x3 ≥ 0 Solution: X1 = 1250 pizza slices X2 = 1250 hot dogs X3 = 0 barbeque sandwiches Z = $2,250 (B) Evaluate the prospect of borrowing money before the first game. Yes, I do believe Julia would increase her profit if she borrowed money. The shadow price is $1.50 for each additional dollar she earns. The upper limit in the model that is given is $1,658.88. This means that Julia can borrow $158.88 from her friend, which gives her an extra profit of $238.32 or a total profit of $2,488.32. (C) Evaluate the prospect of paying a friend $100/game to assist. According to the information presented in (A) and (B), I do believe Julia should hire her friend for $100 per game. It would be difficult for Julia to prepare all of the food needed within the amount of time to reach her goal, so she will need the additional help. If she is borrowing extra money from another friend, she would be able to pay the help for the time spent helping at the game because the $158.88 she borrowed will allow her to do so. (D) Analyze the impact of uncertainties on the model. An impact of...
