    ENGLISH 9- MELC 4

    Guide Questions:
    1. The social concerns which are illustrated in the poem are social anxiety,
    depression, grief, regret, poverty, and homelessness.
    2. The narrator feels that Richard Cory is a man of happiness and contentment
    as it is seen through his physical appearance that he has everything in life. He
    was a gentleman from sole to crown, clean favored and imperially slim and he
    was rich yes richer than a king, and admirably schooled in every grace
    3. Richard Cory’s external appearance and mannerisms make him very much
    different from the people down town. The townspeople belong to the working
    class.

    4. No. They didn't know him well enough. All of their interactions with Richard
    Cory were superficial and clouded by their awareness of his wealth.
    5. It is iron ic that the townspeople envied Richard Cory because no one had
    ever imagined that Richard Cory was suffering from something unfavorable
    that led him to kill himself.
    6. Richard Cory might have been living alone all throughout his life. He is
    mentally and psychologically disturbed.
    7. If I were Richard Cory, I have to be brave enough to face any trials in life. I
    have to remember that there is always a rainbow after a rain.

    Reflection:

    I remember having a breakdown and crying over unfinished school works. I


    can still reminisce how pressured I am and how frustrated to pass my tasks on
    time. That moment when my mother told me to “fix yourself”. On that very second
    realization hit me, we don’t need to please other people with our high grades,
    because grades aren’t a reflection of intelligence or ability. They are a reflection
    of hard work. Society is so cruel to the point that we’re forcing ourselves to be fit
    on their standards. Always remember, don’t be hard to yourself. Always do what
    makes you happy and stand what you believe in even means standing alone. At
    the end of the day, always choose yourself.
    Reaction to Assertion:

     Parents should strictly monitor their teenage sons and daughters’


    whereabouts when they go out.

    1. I totally agree! Research shows that teens whose parents use effective


    monitoring practices are less likely to make poor decisions, such as having
    sex at an early age, smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, being physically
    aggressive, or skipping school. Clear communication about your
    expectations is especially important.
    2. I beg to differ. As your child gets older, they need more privacy and
    personal space. Trust goes both ways. Children needs to trust that you
    respect their right to have privacy and a say in decisions about their life.
    3. I believe that parents should monitor their teenage sons and daughters’
    and trust them at the same time.
    4. Haven’t you had enough about that boring issue? Can we please talk
    about Russia instead?

     Misinformation and disinformation are rampant in social media.

    1. Absolutely. In today’s media systems people may be more likely to


    encounter false and misleading information on a daily basis. The difference
    between trustworthy and untrustworthy news on public forums has become
    a frequently discussed and occasionally volatile topic over the last few
    years.
    2. I don't think so.  Social media has become a place where people can learn
    about all sorts of things. The advantage of social media is that users can
    quickly obtain different kinds of information through their contacts.
    3. Don’t ask me, I’m not the expert on that matter.
    4. Can we talk about politics instead? You’re talking about it over and over
    again.
