I just want to touch on how sarcastic Echeverria was in his story of the Slaughter House. I just thought it was interesting how he was talking about the people who were seen as the "civilized" ones: he talked about them in a somewhat normal but demeaning manner. It's so sarcastic you almost can't pick it up, and that was my problem when I first read it. It took me about close to the end to realize that Echeverria was a Unitarian and was completely making fun of the Federalists and degrading them throughout his story. I thought it was also incredible funny. I'm a strong believer in sarcasm and I love that Echeverria was so into it that readers(including myself) had to look over it and double check what he said to see if he was being sarcastic or not. I simply loved it. Sorry this is so short. I really just wanted to state the fact that he was so sarcastic and sarcasm is basically my life. Also, there really needs to be a snow day tomorrow. I will be really sad if there isn't. Actually, I wouldn't be completely sad. Just a little hurt.
