Sitzman Comp II Commonplace Book by https://padlet.com/pwnygirl/Sitzman en-us 2014-01-15 11:16:29 UTC 2024-04-17 07:33:29 UTC hello@padlet.com http://d20uo2axdbh83k.cloudfront.net/20140115/491c13203af33561c17ace4370615be0.JPG "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid pwnygirl https://padlet.com/pwnygirl/Sitzman/wish/19596394 2014-01-21 02:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/pwnygirl/Sitzman/wish/19596394 "Trifles" by Susan Glaspell pwnygirl https://padlet.com/pwnygirl/Sitzman/wish/19764410 Why is it that so many women allow men to bring them down and/or change them? I have seen so many people start out happy and eventually they change and they are no longer the person you used to know. I have an aunt that was like this and when she left my uncle it took some time but she is happier now than I ever remember seeing her before! None of us man or woman should sacrifice who we are to be in a relationship. Been there, done that, and won't do it again!

This quote fits this story quite well. The wife does what the husband says instead of what she thinks is best because he is her husband and physician therefore he must know what is best for her.

My husband used to pay his own bills, I used to call my own repairman. But as marriages progress, you surrender areas of your own competence, often without even knowing it." Ayelet Waldman

The woman of this story did not get to be herself until her husband presumably died. What a tragedy that he lived causing her to die.

She recognized where her struggles were.

They don't want to be treated like trash for the entertainment of the white man

It shows how they act in front of the adults. These little girls were taught racism and they have to end the cycle

That's the American ideal. Poor people don't like talking about poverty because even though they might live in the projects surrounded by other poor people and have, like, ten dollars in the bank, they don't like to think of themselves as poor.  Jay-Z     Jay Z's quote is pretty similar to how I think Sylvia feels by the end of the story. Sylvia does not like the lesson she was taught on the trip about the rich and the poor and decides she will overcome it.

This quote is a lot like his poem Negro. The poem discusses places his people have been up to where they are now. They fought to get here because this is where they really wanted to be. Free and equal.

This quote defines how each individual in the poem feels in their fight for freedom. They are facing their fears and fighting their own battle.

Americans do not value our soldiers at the extent they should. The author helps us understand the mentality needed for soldiers to survive
