This is because people look back at the old year as they enter the new one. The text says that Janus can see forwards and backwards. As I stated earlier, people tend to look back at the old year while entering the new one. Going through the one doorway brings them to the next year, while they look behind the doorway to reflect on the past. This is why a doorway is a good metaphor to describe the new year.]]> 2018-01-02 13:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308860 Sloane Kaplan https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308875 I think a doorway is a good metaphor for the start of the New Year. A doorway can represent a start to the new year because when you go through a new door you start a new year and if you go backwards (or the other way) through a doorway, you are walking back into the past. ]]> 2018-01-02 13:32:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308875 Jacob Kupperman https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308879 A doorway is a good metaphor to represent the new year. This is because it represents how people can choose to look to the new year(s) or reflect back onto the old years that have come to pass. Another reason, a doorway is a good metaphor for the new year because it can represent new beginnings as well. For example, one side of the doorway symbolizes the future and one symbolizes the past.]]> 2018-01-02 13:32:54 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308879 Ella Frankel https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308881 Based on the origin of the month of January, I think that a doorway is a good metaphor for a new year. This is because on one side of the door is the past. Then you go through the door, and to the future, or the new year. This compares to the Roman god that January was based off of, Janus, because he has two faces. One reflects the past, and one sees the future. Janus is like the doorway.]]> 2018-01-02 13:32:54 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308881 Kaylan Carino https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308888 A doorway is a good metaphor for a New Year. When you open a door, you usually go into a new room. The New Year is like that other room you go into. You leave the room that you were once in, and this is like when you leave the past year and then go to the next one. This is why a doorway is a good metaphor for a New Year.]]> 2018-01-02 13:32:57 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308888 Julianne Lee 20242079 https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308891 Based on the Roman Myth, I think that a doorway is a good metaphor for a New Year because behind the doorway can depict the past, but when you pass through it, it is the future. For example, the doorway can close behind you leaving the past behind and you will have to go on with the future. You can also be somewhat like Janus, the Roman God, where you can look at your past and look toward your future. This allows you to reflect on your past. ]]> 2018-01-02 13:32:58 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308891 Romi Riss https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308893 A doorway is a good metaphor for a New Year because, when walking through a doorway you are leaving the past behind, or starting a New Year. A doorway can represent leaving the past behind and looking for the future. In a New Year you only look into the future and leave the past in the past. ]]> 2018-01-02 13:32:58 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308893 Claire Song 20242068 https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308894 Based on the origin of the month of January that I have read, a doorway is a good metaphor for the New Year. A doorway is a good metaphor because you are opening a new path towards the new year. You are opening a "door" for a new start and a new beginning. At the end of the year, people usually look back on what they have done. Based on the Roman Myth, you could look back on what you have accomplished or haven't accomplished through the doorway, and when you enter the doorway, you are beginning the new year. Therefore, a doorway is a good metaphor for a New year. ]]> 2018-01-02 13:32:58 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308894 Jack 20242086 https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308906 I think a doorway is a good metaphor for a new year because it can be opened up and in this case, the door opens up to a new year for new beginnings which means that you can redo yourself and accomplish new goals. ]]> 2018-01-02 13:33:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308906 Matthew Sands https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308914 Yes, I that a doorway is a good metaphor to describe the month of January. I say this because it represents entering a new place. So you can start over.  January is the side of the door that you end on. In the new year, you can try something new. You can change for the better and fix what you did wrong. A doorway can also represent go into the future and leaving the past behind. For the reasons stated, I think that a doorway is a good metaphor.]]> 2018-01-02 13:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308914 Eitan Moyal https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308915 Yes, a doorway is a good metaphor for the New Year. This is because the New Year is just like a doorway to the new year.]]> 2018-01-02 13:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308915 Lauren Conti https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308921 The metaphor a doorway for the new year is a good metaphor because when you leave your house and you walk out your front door you're starting the day, and what was happening in the house is now in the past. During New Years you make a resolution which you try to quite something or try to stop a habit.]]> 2018-01-02 13:33:03 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308921 Emily S 20242049 https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308968 Yes, a doorway is a good Metaphor for a New Year. This is because you are stepping into a new doorway to start a fresh New Year where you don't know what is going to happen.]]> 2018-01-02 13:33:17 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308968 Maya Yaari https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308978 Based on the origin of the month of January, I think a doorway is a good metaphor for the New Year.  I think that because it's representing how you were on one side of the door which is your past, and you go through it and begin your future.  It is a new start once you walk throught the door, it is representing a new beginning. That is why based on the origin of the month of January, I think a doorway is a good metaphor for the New Year]]> 2018-01-02 13:33:20 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218308978 Haylin R 20242043 https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218309001 The metaphor doorway is a good symbol for a new year. It is a way to show how you renew yourself. When a new door opens, you walk through it and starting over or renewing yourself. Janus was the God of door and gates. These two things were used to open and get yourself to the other side of it. This God believed he had two faces to look forward and back. ]]> 2018-01-02 13:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218309001 Andrew K https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218309031 Yes a doorway is a good metaphor for the beginning of a New Year. The open door symbolizes a new beginning and starting over. Also a new doorway helps you reflect your past and try to change things. If you aren't having trouble in your life a doorway is a good way to refresh things.]]> 2018-01-02 13:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218309031 Roslyn Gonzalez https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218309136 I think that doorway isn't a good metaphor for New Year because it doesn't fit in the New Year's theme and it doesn't have anything to do with New Year's. Also a doorway doesn't have anything to do with entering a new year and a new resolution.]]> 2018-01-02 13:34:17 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218309136 Thomas Lee https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218309595 Based on the origin of the month of January, I think a doorway is a good metaphor for the New Year. A doorway is a good metaphor because it symbolizes entering a new year, but you can also go back through the door and reflect on the year before.

For example, January is the first month of the year. The month usually symbolizes the beginning of a new year. In addition, Janus could look in two directions. Foward and Backward. For me, this means that you could reflect on the past year and compare it with the new one.]]> 2018-01-02 14:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218318690 Ari Karageorge https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218318698 Based on the origin of the month January, a doorway is a good metaphor for a new year. Doors usually symbolize the beginning. They can be thought of as a new or fresh start. Also, doors are a choice. In the new year, you can choose to start new or keep going the way it was. Also, Janus who January was named after was the god of decisions so a door is a perfect symbol for the new year. Therefore, a doorway is a good metaphor to use when talking about the New Year.  ]]> 2018-01-02 14:18:06 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218318698 Michelle Yu 20242053 https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218318706 Based on the origin of the month of January that I have read, a doorway is a good metaphor for a New Year. This is because the month of January is named after the god, Janus who is the god of beginnings, gates, and doorways. A doorway is a good metaphor because it symbolizes beginning again in a New Year, but you can also reflect on your past. ]]> 2018-01-02 14:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218318706 Haley Chroman https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218318747 Based on the origin of the month of January, a doorway is a good metaphor for the New Year.

This is because the first month, January is named after the god of doorways, gates, and beginnings, Janus. Since Janus is the god of beginnings, it makes sense for the first month to be named after him, and because he is also the god of doorways, a doorway is a good metaphor for the month of January.

Another metaphor that signifies the month of January is a phoenix. This is because when a phoenix dies it is reborn as a new bird. This represents someone starting over in the new year.]]> 2018-01-02 14:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218318754 Jordan Gewirtz https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218318755 Based on the origin of the month January, a doorway is a good metaphor for a New Year. This is because a door leads to a new place, which represents the year starting new too. This origin proves that there is a chance to start new. Also, you can walk back into the other door, which represents looking back at the past years. This relates to Janus in the myth because she was two-faced. She could look towards the future and back in the past.]]> 2018-01-02 14:18:20 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218318755 Han Sug Kim 20242030 https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218318756 Based on the origin of January, a doorway is a good metaphor.

When you go through a door it is symbolizing that when you exit through a door it is like you are starting a new thing. A doorway is an example because Janus who was the reason the month was named after him. People say he had two faces so he could see the future and the past.

For example, around New Years people make resolutions to do something that they didn't get a chance to do in the previous years. By opening a door you are going somewhere else. A door is a good metaphor for the New Year because you are trying new things or metaphorically, trying new things.]]> 2018-01-02 14:18:26 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218318779 Netta Saban https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218318780 Based on the origin of the month, the doorway is a good metaphor for the start of a new year because it can symbolize the entering or opening the start of a new year, But it can also let you go back and reflect on the past year. ]]> 2018-01-02 14:18:27 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218318780 Alexander Jacob https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218318784 Based on the origins of the month of January, a doorway is a great metaphor for a New Year. A doorway is basically a passageway that leads you to another place or room, but you can also go back into another. As a result of this, you can not just move forward into the new year, but also reflect back to the other years and think of things that you can improve this year. ]]> 2018-01-02 14:18:28 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218318784 Anna Kaplan https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218318799 Based on the origin of the month January, a doorway is a good metaphor to represent it.

Janus is the god of doors, gates and because doors and gates face two was she could see into the past and present at the same time. This is how we keep moving on in the future but can reflect on our past. This reflection on our past allows us to see improvements that can be made. The origin of the month January and the start of it is so you could start with a free slate. It represents a way to improve and help yourself.

A doorway is a good metaphor because in the text it says that the Janus looks back. During the New Year, you look back at what you did in the past year and try to do better than what you did last year.

It is representing moving on to the new year and leaving the old year behind. But we are not forgetting the old year because you can always go back to the old year with memories. So you can access your old years anytime, and the different rooms the door is separating are the years of your life. Another metaphor that could represent the old year and the old year is a sidewalk. You walking on the sidewalk is you going through your life. There are many things around the sidewalk that changes as you walk. When the things around you change, that is leaving behind the old year and moving on to the new year.]]> 2018-01-02 17:16:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218360764 Madeline Engelman 20242080 https://padlet.com/hefflerw1/89a9mc1yyuv8/wish/218360773 Based on the origin of the month of January that I have read, a doorway is a good metaphor for a New Year because it shows that even if you walk through the doorway, you can still make new decisions or resolutions.
