It was not that she was being noble or anything. It was just that she had learned there were other ways of getting into the great hall, blazing with lights, of people and of life" (Plath 13). As Millicent sits in Betsy Johnson's basement awaiting the end of her last trial she comes to a realization. ]]> 2022-09-27 19:48:43 UTC https://padlet.com/vtpham112/9hqt7931a9kw831u/wish/2316269733 vtpham112 https://padlet.com/vtpham112/9hqt7931a9kw831u/wish/2316270412 "And then, for some reason, Millicent thought of the heather birds. Swooping carefree over the moors, they would go singing and crying out across the great spaces of air, dipping and darting, strong and proud in their freedom and their sometime loneliness. It was then that she made her decision" (Plath 13). In this scene Millicent was laying in bed right before her last day of Rat Court and rethinking her choice to join the sorority. ]]> 2022-09-27 19:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/vtpham112/9hqt7931a9kw831u/wish/2316270412 ebyeh100 https://padlet.com/vtpham112/9hqt7931a9kw831u/wish/2316270441 The reflection Millicent had in Betsy Johnson's basement was the climax of the story. This quote shows it even more so. The whole story was leading up to the moment where Millicent uses the knowledge she had gained up until this moment. In the quote Plath says, "It was just that she had learned that there were other ways of getting into the great hall..." Up until this point she had been blindly following whatever the girls in the sorority had wanted her to, not really thinking for herself. At this moment she finally realizes that she doesn't need to be in the sorority to connect with other people. By coming to this realization her life changed forever and therefore the story did too.]]> 2022-09-27 19:49:22 UTC https://padlet.com/vtpham112/9hqt7931a9kw831u/wish/2316270441 vtpham112 https://padlet.com/vtpham112/9hqt7931a9kw831u/wish/2316508951 This quote depicts the moment where Millicent starts thinking about her decision to join the sorority and if it even was a good idea in the first place. With the help of the heather birds, which she looks up to, she is able to decide on what to do. It's the crisis of the story. It's where Millicent comes to her final decision to be like the heather bird, free despite their occasional loneliness, and not like the sparrow. When she made her decision to leave she changed the course of the rest of the story.]]> 2022-09-28 00:22:51 UTC https://padlet.com/vtpham112/9hqt7931a9kw831u/wish/2316508951
