March 17th

Figured out the egg stuff, OH YEAH!  So wouldn't you be pissed if every week you were kicked out of your house so your parents could do the naughty?  I know I would be pretty pissed.  It is evident that the speaker is angry by his behavior, but it is also clear in line ten when the author writes "speckled eggs, blue as rage."  He is mad just as much as he is curious what is going on.  Most people, when they are children, have to deal with the mysteries of their parents and figuring out what noises are heard on the other side of closed doors.  In this poem, the speaker deals with this struggle.  The egg also
seems to conjure an image of nature futility along with the image of dogs in heat.  These are both natural sexual things that may be referring to the sexual phase in which the siblings currently lie.

On a side note, today's CRAW class was probably our funniest to date.
