The primary conflict is a psychological conflict or human vs himself.]]> 2022-03-31 11:34:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2123394672 lawrenceaspiras2 https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2123395893 I think the story happened before technology was as advanced as it is today because the story mentions a lot of pictures that are displayed when nowadays pictures can be stored in one’s cell phone and if I were to guess, I think the start of the story took place during the early 90s. I also think that the story took place in the suburbs where Alex might be a neighbor of Charles. I would describe the social and cultural conditions as a normal place wherein it is hard to speak out one's problems.]]> 2022-03-31 11:35:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2123395893 lawrenceaspiras2 https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2123396372 The major persons involved in the story are Charles, Charles’s family, Alex’s mother, and Reah. Charles, who is the protagonist of the story, is a person who in my opinion is negligent because even though he realizes the problem he is facing, he does not bother putting in effort to figure out why the problem exists. As for the rest of the characters, I think they fail to cherish Charles because taking pictures with one another is a sign of having a close relationship.]]> 2022-03-31 11:35:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2123396372 lawrenceaspiras2 https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2123397152 I think what the short story is trying to say is that it would be impossible to find a solution to a problem if we fail to address said problem. Throughout the story, Charles never asked his family, Alex, Alex’s mother and Reah on why he was never found in the pictures and in the end, he started to question himself on the possible reasons such as his own physical appearance. The message that I got from the story is that don’t be afraid to address a problem to other people so that it can be easier to understand the situation and look for solutions to the problem.]]> 2022-03-31 11:36:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2123397152 lawrenceaspiras2 https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2123397442 I think that my chosen text is relevant to the world today because there are people who are afraid to speak out their struggles and they decide to keep it to themselves. People who experience issues such as bullying and mental illness are scared to speak out because they are also afraid of being judged by other people for their differences and weaknesses.]]> 2022-03-31 11:36:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2123397442 lawrenceaspiras2 https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2123397793 I think what the short story tells us about the world is that it is a place where people can choose to ignore and avoid people who fail to meet the expectations and standards of society. Our world is reflected in and by this short story as it tells us that it can be truly a cruel place where people can be shunned by their appearance, religion, race and a lot more.]]> 2022-03-31 11:36:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2123397793 lawrenceaspiras2 https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2123398782 My personal thoughts at first was that I was able to relate to Charles as when I was younger, I would have trouble asking for help when I had problems. This was because I did not want to disturb other people and I thought that I would figure out the answer at some point. There would be times where I was able to figure out things by myself, however there were also moments where it led me to be more confused. I was able to learn from my mistakes and it made me more aware that there are people who are willing to help me in my troubles. I enjoyed reading the short story because it made me realize the harsh reality of discrimination and how it can affect people’s understanding of one’s self.]]> 2022-03-31 11:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2123398782 rborja13 https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2124688954 2022-04-01 02:31:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2124688954 rborja13 https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2124689843 2022-04-01 02:32:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2124689843 rborja13 https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2124690980 2022-04-01 02:32:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2124690980 rborja13 https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2124725789 2022-04-01 02:58:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2124725789 rborja13 https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2124739862 2022-04-01 03:08:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2124739862 rborja13 https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2124740288 2022-04-01 03:09:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2124740288 rborja13 https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2124741105 2022-04-01 03:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lawrenceaspiras2/6t4drvm9lcmmlubp/wish/2124741105
