I didn't do very well on this part, mostly the last 2 poems because I found them hard to figure out. I think because of their different style of writing and vocabulary.

For the first essay I would have talked about how the author is telling that he believes that leisure is gone, and that the new innovations, which are suppose to increase leisure, are in his eyes creating more problems. For support I would quote the text and talk how his view of leisure and the new innovations differ, mainly how his is a slower pace. Coming to the conclusion that he likes a slow and calm pace rather than the speed of new technology perhaps.  

For the second I would use The Grapes of Wrath, but would be reluctant because I would like to use another but didn't recognize any that I could use efficiently.  I would talk about how the novel is breaking tradition by showing how the family is uprooting themselves in the hope of a better work life. It would be a pretty bad essay if I have to say so.
