A Sad World: By Gregory Huyette
The world is ruled by law and in a way that's so very sad.
It's not a matter of what's right or wrong or good or bad.
Facts depend on points-of-view and truth holds little sway.
Money and power are the arbiters of morality today.
Each one who still believes that what's good will win out,
Should receive praise and respect, but there's little doubt
That each day that bygone world becomes less the rule,
As each day, so sadly, each of these appears more the fool.
I would choose this poem to read to Mildred and her friends because it relates to Montag because you have to follow that law no matter what even if it is wrong. Also there are people out there that still believe.
You did well on the parlor poetry assignment; I look forward to seeing more from you. Post the essay post game analysis when you get the chance because it has been marked in the grade book.
