He's basically thinks that he's already dead. Basically😊

Instead of making American a uniform place, he's making North America a place where citizens ache, not all treated equitably and have to deal with antagonism, leading to definite opportunities to be absent, within a blink of an eye. I say this, because in the poem it states, "I dreamed that my passport was made of bone—That it was a canoe carved out of stone. "But I can’t swim,” I said. “I will drown If I can’t make the shore. I’ll die alone In the salt. No, my body will be found. I believe the author is trying to get the the message out about Trump's immigration ban policy. He's waking people up each day with damage done. If the person stating the poem tries to immigrant we will face life threating results causing him to drown in a sea full of sharks. Immigration was a freedom to refugees as they could get away from there war zone and live peacefully. But now that, that oppurtunity is gone there is no fresh water for refuges/non Americans, but there is salt water where's they deal with errors, punishment and no democracy leading people too mistress and leading America to ben ot great once again.]]> 2017-09-21 17:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189864168 Kushal https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189864237 I connect this text with media such as the news who always seem to talk about Donald trump’s every move. Also how he’s the doom of the country. Lastly how people try to find homes after escaping from Syria or infiltrated countries ]]> 2017-09-21 17:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189864237 Savreen https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189864754 The author used a lot of descriptive words to create an image in the readers minds. For example, in the poem there was a line that says " to a room of fingernails on the floor
I dreamed that my password was a keyware. But soldiers set fire to the doors". As I read on I can create images in my mind about the door set on fire and what the author is trying to say]]> 2017-09-21 17:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189864754 Jessica https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189866047 In the poem when he says  “I dreamed that my passport was my keyware,
But soldiers had set fire to the doors,” (Alexie),
I think this represents them being able to enter the country and how a passport is important to them. The password is basically a key where it is needed to enter the country, however since Donald Trumps ban was put in place, they now can not enter the country because they do not have passports and are illegal immigrants.]]> 2017-09-21 17:36:33 UTC https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189866047 Ikjyot https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189866186 At the end the author imagined about the passport in the ICU and how it didn't survive. So the author has used alot of words to describe images ]]> 2017-09-21 17:36:47 UTC https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189866186 Komal https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189866406 2017-09-21 17:37:12 UTC https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189866406 Roroo https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189867253 I predict that the poem,Autopsy, is about Donald Trumps ban of immigration. I think this because on the top of the poem says " Sherman Alexie reflects on President Trump's immigration ban through poetry". The poem also talks a lot about passports and has a sentence which says "our United state of America". This gave me a hint bout how immagration was a problem in the United States of america and how passports are required.

Using the descriptive language creating an image is pretty simple.]]> 2017-09-21 17:40:39 UTC https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189868056 Harkirat https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189868910
 
  Connecting to real life events related to death such as an autopsy really helps to get a clear picture of what the author is trying to tell us. Thinking about the current situation of the US we can see how a passport and death are connecting to the real world.]]> 2017-09-21 17:42:36 UTC https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189868910 https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189934177 2017-09-21 20:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189934177 Rohan https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189934240

I think he wants everyone to realize what it feels like to be immigranted by force. ]]> 2017-09-21 22:18:48 UTC https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189954252 Radhika https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189960720 In this poem, the author have used descriptive words to explain what's happening, and we can picture that in our heads. An example would be "With millions of bodies, all of them brown.” I dreamed that my passport was a book of prayers,
Unanswered by the gods, but written down, By fact checkers in suits. “There are some errors", I have pictured a lot of bodies around that person when it said "with millions of bodies". The poem is written in the third person; this not only amplifies the objective, detached perspective that the title implies but also contributes to the analytical tone of the poem. The nostalgic, evocative language which the poet uses to describe the “findings” of the autopsy, however, belies this objectivity, thus creating the tension of the poem; this tension is sustained until the final line, which signals completion and fulfillment. The poet permits only certain parts of the body to be dissected. Specifically, those parts are related to the senses through which he perceives the sources in the physical world which awaken and aid him in expressing his inner, poetic world.

In the beginning of the poem, the author mentioned what happened in United States recently. Since the election of Donald Trump happened during the time this poem was written, I can predict that it was written about the horror of him being elected. The author continues to talk about his passport, which is now dead. One of my predictions is that his passport was once a ticket to freedom, but now it is useless. It is useless to him, but also other people of colour. By millions of bodies, I think the author was referring the millions of people that want to immigrate and live in the US, but can not. When the author started to talk about the ICU, I predicted that the real meaning of text was about him trying to use his passport to get out of this situation, but it did not work.]]> 2017-09-22 00:30:40 UTC https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189968106 Varsha https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189969728 The author used imagery, and descriptive words, which helped me visualize the poem. When the author said, “with millions of bodies, all of them brown,” I was able to imagine what the author was saying. By including adjectives such as the number and the colour, I was able to imagine a picture with detail, which was the picture the writer wanted us to visualize.]]> 2017-09-22 00:45:40 UTC https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189969728 Aric 597042 https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189971343 Visualisation has helped me understand this poem for several reasons such as realising the impact, who was impacted, and the overall message. To begin with, I was able to visualise the impact because of certain words the author used in the poem. For example, "With millions of bodies, all of them brown.” This explains both who and how many people were affected as well as generating images in my mind since it also contains literary devices which is  visual imagery. In addition to this, the quote has also helped me understand the overall message as it describes the situation that is similar to the policy that Donald Trump created. In conclusion, visualising has helped me understand this poem because I was able to imagine how severe the impact was and how the people would feel.

For example, "With millions of bodies, all of them brown.” With this, I can infer that different races were involved as well as mass amounts of people were affected which is also similar to the policy that Donald Trump created. The policy that he created was against immigrants coming to the United States which poses as a threat as well as creating conflict between them. Another example that helped me understand this poem is "Last night, I dreamed that my passport was alive. When it entered the ICU. It breathed, it breathed, Then it sighed and closed its eyes. It did not survive." This describes the process that the immigrants had to overcome and experience while coming to the United States which shows the correlation between the policy and this poem. Overall, inferring has helped me understand this poem as it allows me to organise my thoughts and ideas along with connecting them to the  events in the world, thus forming conclusions.]]> 2017-09-22 01:28:25 UTC https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189975029 Kinza https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189984941 I infer that, Sherman Alexie, had wrote this poem after reflecting on the tragic incident of Donald Trump banning immigration, affecting the lives of innocent humans. She wrote this through third person, writing about all the tragedies a young migrant had to deal with while in the presence of Trump and his policy. In the story it states," Will you be shelter? Or will you concede?” Last night, I dreamed that my passport was alive
When it entered the ICU. It breathed, it breathed,
Then it sighed and closed its eyes. It did not survive." This passsge form the poem shows the mistress a young, unimpeachable non- American was put through. The passport was alive and going  before ut reached the ICU. As soon as Donald Trump's people came in the process of artifacts, everything started to go defective. The person lost its act of civiling  the seas, making the passport its concede as it also meant losing a habitat for refugees. The person writing this list it's faced it's way to civil, as descrimationto took place, leading to the passport being taking away for non-valid, racist reasons. It even states in the poem it , "With millions of bodies, all of them brown.," showing the presence of segregation, leading people in violence and leading me to say that the author wrote this poem to show the incrediblely miss-hearting  situations immigrants were put in.]]> 2017-09-22 02:58:13 UTC https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/189984941 Mume https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/190176496 This text was made a day after Donald Trump was elected as the president of the USA. In the poem, it talks about their passport using personification. For example, the author says that the passport is a tombstone for the USA. This poem is heavily related to the recently ended presidential election with Donald Trump winning the election. The author is talking about how Donald Trump is going to destroy what is already a pretty good country, or the author could be saying that if you are going to go & stay at the new USA, you will see that it'll be a lot worse than it was before.]]> 2017-09-22 15:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/190176496 Raman https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/190194190 A factor that helped me understand the text better was imagery.  Through imagery I was able to visualize the scenes and have a better insight on the message being conveyed.  For instance, "with millions of bodies, all of them brown."  Specific words such as, millions and brown helped make an more clear visual in my head.  Moreover, I believe visualization is more effective in getting the message across because people usually understand the extent of certain situations only when they can see the consequences.  The message was, that due to Donald Trump's new policy many people will suffer and become displaced.  Additionally, through this literary device I was able to understand the gravity of the events that will result from Trump's new unfair policies.]]> 2017-09-22 16:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/190194190 Raman https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/190197066 What drove Sherman Alexie to write this poem?  Was he effected by Trump's new policy, was somebody he knows effected by this policy, or did he just wants to advocate against Trump?]]> 2017-09-22 16:11:28 UTC https://padlet.com/p0170309/hng5cor907a6/wish/190197066
