Can the U.S. economy be called a true free market economy?

/in /by

Assignment 2: Capitalism and the U.S. Economy
In a command or planned economy, the government, not the market, regulates the factors of production and economic activities considered essential to the function of the economy. Economic decisions including what goods and services to produce (supply), how resources are allocated and regulated and how profits are distributed are made and implemented by the government.
How is the U.S. economy different from a command economy? Can the U.S. economy be called a true free market economy? Explain your answer by discussing the ways in which the federal government interacts with and regulates the U.S. economy in the context of both a command and free market economy.
Provide examples and justify your conclusions. Quotations, paraphrases, and ideas you get from books or other sources of information should be cited using APA style. Help with citing sources can be found through the Academic Resources page under Course Home.

write a poem that both uses and deconstructs metaphor, paying attention to metonymic, disjunctive and other poetic effects.

/in /by

You will write a poem that both uses and deconstructs metaphor, paying attention to metonymic, disjunctive and other poetic effects.
We’ve seen how metaphor can be used powerfully; we’ve also seen how metaphor can become a cliché. For a poem, a metaphor is just another tool—hopefully used to create a surprising conjunction or impression. Sometimes metaphors are broken, extended or warped on purpose by a poet to create conjunctions that are more strange and fragmented.
After reading the poems attached in files (Must read all first!), take into account the many ways these poets use and break metaphor for their specific effects. We have had a lot of different examples of poetry so far, so there should be plenty of different examples and modes to give you inspiration. It should be clear, however, that what you are doing is somehow related to what you’ve read. Create a poem that has internal consistency and works as a complete piece unto itself. There is no page limit because if you pay attention to internal consistency, the poem should dictate its own shape. However, unless there is a good reason for it, for excessively short poem you most likely be asked to do more, if only to explore your poetic ideas further.
