Tell whether you think Barthelme's characters and Auden's citizen live in the same world. Has society taken away their freedom and ignored their humanity? Do you agree with these views of the world?

"Game" by Donald Barthelme
Poem, W.H. Auden, "The Unknown Citizen"

The question is up there!

Have you read the referenced works?

Do you understand the theme or message in each poem?

No I don't understand the "Game" or the other poem... what shall we do?
YOu were a great help last time with the poem conversation... now please help me with this?

Wow that was a quick reply! Is there an email you have so we both can work on my assignments? It's too difficult for me and I wouldn't want to post my assignment questions here all the time. Do you mind giving if I give you my email address and we both can work on my assignments? YOu seem like a good help!

I don't SEEM like a good help! I AM a good help!

So, again I ask, how did the conversation thing work out? Grade? Comments from the teacher?

YOu didn't really answer my question earlier. I asked if I can give you my email and then via word, you and I can work assignments out together?? PLEASE?
I have so many assignments to complete and they are so hard for me and I need some assistance... do you mind chatting by email?

Wow! Did you say all that to me? And what did you mean by, "that's both for you" blah blah blah?

That was Curlyben back on May 31, making sure you would do your own work.

I think it would be a good idea to keep what we do here on this thread. It might help someone else. I'm retired and here all the time, so there's no advantage to doing it in email.

What concerns me is that he needs stuff done today and has so much to do, but disappeared. I hope he is working on all this away from his computer. I'm more than willing to guide him, but not to do it for him.

I'd charge more than that in real life.
