I believe the author is biased towards the name change, I think this because they show mainly clips that support the name change and give information that degrades the team's names.

2. When something has become socially unacceptable, I believe that it should be remade to be more acceptable, although it does not need to be a complete reconstruction of said thing.]]> 2023-08-22 16:20:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasgilbert1/6uzn45djwhhqjy38/wish/2668992306 Monday, 8/28/23 lucasgilbert1 https://padlet.com/lucasgilbert1/6uzn45djwhhqjy38/wish/2675388840 Her relationship between being a poet and Puritan afflicted how people perceived her writings. According to the article, the seventeenth-century peoples thought it was arrogant for a woman to attempt to step up with already established male poets, however after the Puritan minister Cotton Mathers praised her poems, it encouraged her to write for the rest of her life.]]> 2023-08-28 16:36:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasgilbert1/6uzn45djwhhqjy38/wish/2675388840 Friday. 9/1/23 lucasgilbert1 https://padlet.com/lucasgilbert1/6uzn45djwhhqjy38/wish/2681322727 1. Some daily habits to become a successful, happy person are: you could sleep more (or go to sleep earlier), try to listen to music to focus better, and eat more if you feel incredibly tired.

2. I learned this from personal experience and it has worked well for me, and I have seen other people try it and it usually works well for them as well.]]> 2023-09-01 16:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasgilbert1/6uzn45djwhhqjy38/wish/2681322727 Monday, 9/11/23 lucasgilbert1 https://padlet.com/lucasgilbert1/6uzn45djwhhqjy38/wish/2697798823 Are you Romantic or Classical?

- The depiction is different depending on the person but they aren't all inherently evil, such as Lucifer.


Why do you think writers from the Romantic period shifted away from the Puritan style of morally good characters and began writing about characters who made bad choices? 
- To make it seem more "realistic", as most people are not morally good and often are not good people.]]> 2023-09-25 16:31:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasgilbert1/6uzn45djwhhqjy38/wish/2719658399 Post #8: Thursday, 10/5/23 lucasgilbert1 https://padlet.com/lucasgilbert1/6uzn45djwhhqjy38/wish/2734232551 According to the video, how did Whitman revolutionize American poetry?

He wrote about topics that other authours would not write about, such as women's property rights, slavery, and immigration.
His structure was not conventional to the people at the time.]]> 2023-10-05 16:14:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasgilbert1/6uzn45djwhhqjy38/wish/2734232551 Post #9: Tuesday, 10/10/23 lucasgilbert1 https://padlet.com/lucasgilbert1/6uzn45djwhhqjy38/wish/2740292021 1. According to the video, what is a metaphor?

Something in text that makes you feel instead of just describing something.

2. What does it mean to use an extended metaphor?

To use a metaphor that spans over multiple lines.

3. Develop a metaphor to describe something that takes up a lot of your time. Try to describe it using imagery (sense, touch, smell, taste, or sound)

The pond is stagnant yet the water in it is never the same. ]]> 2023-10-10 16:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasgilbert1/6uzn45djwhhqjy38/wish/2740292021 Post #10: Tuesday, 10/17/23 lucasgilbert1 https://padlet.com/lucasgilbert1/6uzn45djwhhqjy38/wish/2751003826 1. Realism has a more serious design and is more natural, whereas the the Romantic piece seems more lighthearted and unnatural.

2. The lighting and clothing are not natural or everyday.

3. The expression of the person or the contents of said art.]]> 2023-10-17 15:18:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lucasgilbert1/6uzn45djwhhqjy38/wish/2751003826 Post #11: Tuesday, 10/24/23 lucasgilbert1 https://padlet.com/lucasgilbert1/6uzn45djwhhqjy38/wish/2761326562

  • Of the three themes discussed in the video, which one do you believe best fits the story?

    I believe the best fitting theme is freedom.

  • Explain why this theme best fits the story.

    I think this fits best because Mrs. Mallard realizes her freedom after the death of her husband and celebrates it.

  • We've discussed some ways that literature and art were changed as a result of WWI, but how were families impacted?

    • Women started to work and wanted to continue working; the birth rate was declining; child labor laws fell, and more children went to school; older teenagers spent more time with friends.


    1. What positive changes resulted for people?

    People could get more jobs, teenagers could spend time with friends more than family, and children could go to school.


    1. Were there any negative results mentioned in the video? If so, what were they?

    There were not any specific negative results mentioned.
