The Animal School story was a very interesting story and I learned a lot from it. All of the animals in the school had different classes that included different types of abilities that animals can do. Those abilities included swimming, climbing, running, and flying. The animals thought that it was fun to have different classes where they would learn different animals' abilities, but then they soon regretted have different classes. The animals found out that they only have one specific ability that they are good at, and the areas that they tried in the different classes are weaker areas for them. They do not enjoy those classes as much as the classes that they succeed in because they are struggling. This story relates to college students in many ways. A good majority of students on campus have declared their major and enjoy learning in those major classes. Classes that seem to be boring or a waste of time are Gen ed. classes that do not pertain to our major. I believe that we should not have Gen ed. classes because they do not help us become 'well rounded' and the sole purpose for those classes is to be well rounded.
 * Satire Reflection:**

The second satire is about students observing a gallery featuring technology from the 21st century. I did not appreciate how students made fun of the chalk board and eraser tools. Those tools helped teachers teach their children when they were growing up in past years. It is astonishing to see how far technology has advanced since the 21st century.
