Class Work

Paradox- A statement that expresses a possible truth.

Catch 22- A no win situation or to be in a double bind.

In the first story G. K. Chesterton talks about how self-educated people think to much of education. The paradox is that we as people can make it without education, but society education is what we need to succeed. I believe that we do need all the education that we can get. You can't get a job now without having a education. Self-educated people should continue to worry about education, because we need it to make it in today life.

In the second story John Steinbeck talks about how we contradict ourselfs about how overbearing the government seems, but we try to speard it all over the world. The parabox is that Americans complain about their government, but yet still trys to teach other people their way of doing things. He talks about how we feel that our governtment has no problem and is great, but we have homeless people and people suffering from not having a job. I believe that is our government was so great that we wouldn't have those problems and we should make a change so that we could spread it.
