In addition she realizes that she is "free" now from being oppressed by her husband though she cared for him. She ultimately dies as a result from her happiness.
I chose this picture because it reminds me of how the woman was joyful from her day dreams of her new life. I was left at the end of the story contemplating did she die before he arrived, I believe so. That is was her happiness of freedom that killed her, not the revelation of her husband being still alive.]]> 2016-08-24 23:32:09 UTC https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/119717376 juanita86 https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/119719631 This story is advice from a mother to her daughter. In the story the mother is harsh and matter of fact, almost angry that her daughter is growing up. The daughter is quiet throughout most of the story only pausing her mother briefly. I chose this Cinderella clip because when the stepmother is giving her instructions of what to do, there is a tone of underline superiority and resentment.]]> 2016-08-24 23:58:40 UTC https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/119719631 juanita86 https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/119728379 This is the story of a murder investigation of Mr John Wright. During the story there are two investigations going, one is formal with the Sheriff and one with two women they are noticing items trying to make sense of it all. In the end the ladies figure out the connection (the dead bird) but do not share it with the Sheriff. I found this song it relates to the story because she was like the bird in the cage wanting more in life, I also like the feel of the song I can only imagine how much anger she had for her husband.]]> 2016-08-25 01:28:12 UTC https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/119728379 juanita86 https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/120983024 This story was creepy and dark. This was a women who was losing her sanity, and her husband was her doctor. Her husband treats her like a child carrying her to bed, and refers to her as "little goose".  He controlled her medically and in marriage,  while obeying his orders to remain in the room she begins to fixate on the yellow wallpaper. Ultimately she goes completely insane, viewing herself as the woman from the wallpaper, and referring to her husband as "the man". It is ironic that by taking her to the rental house caused her demised. I chose this quote because I simply thought is was perfect her imagination was her insanity, it was the one thing she had control over.]]> 2016-09-01 00:52:34 UTC https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/120983024 juanita86 https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/120997331 This follows the same story as Glaspell's "Trifles"; however, in this story the point of view change to the women's perspective. The story kept the events in the same chronological order, but showed the conflict of regret of not reaching out and being a friend to her, because she was so lonely with out anyone to talk to. Again there are many uses of symbolism throughout the story the quilt, and the dead bird. Overall there is a theme of suppression of Mrs.Wright by her husband. I picked this picture because as the gentleman pointed out how messy her kitchen was, as if that was a direct reflection to her personality, in fact it was more from her husband dominate presence that influenced her behavior.]]> 2016-09-01 02:59:35 UTC https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/120997331 juanita86 https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/126142363 I believe that this poem is this author's way of urging people especially African-Americans to follow their dreams. Also Martin Luther King Jr conveyed his dream to not be judge by his skin color, to live free to be known for how he lived. Dreams are full of hope, and hope is a valuable thing to have.]]> 2016-09-24 01:00:52 UTC https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/126142363 juanita86 https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/126179488 I was interested in the notation of jazz music because of the incredible suppression beautiful music arouse. I think music is a powerful outlet similar to poetry, it can tell a tell and move someone in which no other way could.]]> 2016-09-24 19:47:53 UTC https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/126179488 juanita86 https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/128363304 This story seemed scattered to me. I was upset of the whole "battle" scenario because they are grown men treated like animals. I understood the tone of social unequality. I was pleased to learn that he received a scholarship, to make a name for himself, that is why I chose this image of a degree.]]> 2016-10-05 01:28:29 UTC https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/128363304 juanita86 https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/128364877 I feel like this picture shows the idea the character "Dee" feels liberated. She changed her name to make a statement that she is not oppressed by anyone she can be anything she wants to be. I think because of her mother's lack of education, they don't see eye to eye on the definition of heritage.]]> 2016-10-05 01:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/128364877 juanita86 https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/128368037 I just thought that maybe one day after the kids grow up the can return to the place that they felt out of place and can buy anything they wish. I thought the shop keepers prejudice shows how the children feel like they are shown unequally. I love the story because the kids are fine with the way they are living until they understand the lesson.]]> 2016-10-05 02:17:54 UTC https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/128368037 juanita86 https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/128369410 I picked this image because of how determined and mean these girls appear. In the story the girls plan to beat up the girls from Troop 909. From always being treated unfair they become bullies in a way. Although some of the girls realize their wrong ways, similar to the way only some of the bullies apologies.]]> 2016-10-05 02:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/128369410 juanita86 https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/132897069 I thought this was appropriate because Willy's dream began from a well known salesman funeral was well attended. Willy become focused on wealth and success. Willy was holding himself to a standard that was extremely difficult given his circumstances. Willy also because of his part in Biff's failure to achieve success he decides that by killing himself he gives Biff a chance to have a better life.]]> 2016-10-25 03:27:03 UTC https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/132897069 juanita86 https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/133216205 I saw this that was immediately reminded of Lieutenant Jimmy Cross. He released his desire for Martha and his attempt to fill his loneliness with day dreams. He burned her pics and vowed to be a leader for his troop much like the quote he gave something for others. I imagine being in war is full of tough situations and struggles but Lieutenant Jimmy Cross wanted to back back the lose of his friend by becoming a better leader.]]> 2016-10-26 03:30:19 UTC https://padlet.com/juanita86/86gkhsmeg3js/wish/133216205
