Because of the fact that the author said nothing about Hazel wearing any type of facial, mental, or physical handicap, we can only assume that she was dumb, ugly, and weak. ]]> 2016-11-14 15:34:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kcookiee1223/4smimsmrxph2/wish/137407064 A: kcookiee1223 https://padlet.com/kcookiee1223/4smimsmrxph2/wish/137407090 What are Hazel's actions?

Hazel cried when Harrison, her son, was shot down, but when George asked her why she was crying she couldn't remember and just moved past the subject of her own child dying. She also tried to have George lessen his handicaps because he looked tired all the time.]]> 2016-11-14 15:34:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kcookiee1223/4smimsmrxph2/wish/137407090 E: kcookiee1223 https://padlet.com/kcookiee1223/4smimsmrxph2/wish/137407107 What is Hazel's effect on others?

Hazel encourages George, her husband, to use his handicaps as little as possible while he's at home.]]> 2016-11-14 15:34:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kcookiee1223/4smimsmrxph2/wish/137407107 T: kcookiee1223 https://padlet.com/kcookiee1223/4smimsmrxph2/wish/137407234 What does Hazel think?

Hazel can't really remember anything, not even her own son. She didn't recognize him when he came on the TV.]]> 2016-11-14 15:34:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kcookiee1223/4smimsmrxph2/wish/137407234 S: kcookiee1223 https://padlet.com/kcookiee1223/4smimsmrxph2/wish/137407250 What does Hazel say?

Hazel says many forgetful things leaving us to imply that she isn't very smart.

Hazel doesn't wear any handicaps representing the average and below average, while George has weights and an ear-piece that sound so he can't think for long periods of time. George represents the strong and intelligent. ]]> 2016-11-15 14:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kcookiee1223/4smimsmrxph2/wish/137742889
