How can you have any pudding, if you don’t eat your MEAT!

Watch it. Think about it. Write about it. What does it mean? How does it relate to you, to your school, to your government, to following the rules, to challenging the system, to questioning the institutions that have shaped your life, your parents, to your teachers, your school, the world? To the box that you might be currently thinking outside of.

Why the masks? Why the meat grinder? Why the poetry? Why the school? Why the teacher? Why pudding? Why meat?

What would it take to stop the slow march to the grinder?

What would it take to stop the rioting at the end?

How does this relate to you and your life? Or does it?

Reflect…the direction is yours entirely. There is no correct or incorrect evaluation here. It’s your thoughts fully. However you must check your spelling. 300 word target. Assignment is due posted to Google Classroom by Wednesday 11:59 PM.
