Week #4 Materials - Peppers by Owen Carvalho https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6 No slacking, or laid-backing! en-us 2019-03-26 14:07:56 UTC 2019-03-31 23:56:04 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Pizza.png (Anderson 207) owen_carvalho https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345271783 "After that came a layer of Molyneux's Italian Paste to make her skin as white as bleached linen. It made her resemble a corpse."

Why were people of color treated so unfairly back then? Everyone is equal, and everyone is human, so why didn't they take that into account before mistreating so many innocent beings? This discrimination made people like Madam Lockton try to make their skin as pale as possible. I know that if Madam and many other people were in the position of a slave, they wouldn't be able to bare it, after a life of having everything done for them. Because of this intense discrimination, I believe that it is extremely unfair to people of color to attempt to make your skin lighter than it's original color. This was a horrific time period for people of color, and I am beyond relieved that they finally have the justice they deserve.]]> 2019-03-26 14:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345271783 (Anderson ) owen_carvalho https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345271990 2019-03-26 14:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345271990 (Anderson ) owen_carvalho https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345272170 2019-03-26 14:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345272170 (Anderson ) owen_carvalho https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345272392 2019-03-26 14:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345272392 (Anderson 192) owen_carvalho https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345272521 "The door to Lady Seymour's bedchamber was just opening. As I went to pass by, she grabbed my arm. "Quick, child", she cried. "Help me!"
For a girl who has been through so much hardship, and feels so alone at this point in her life, she is extremely empathetic towards others. In order for a mere child to save an adult, a lot of bravery and awareness in necessary. It may be difficult for Isabel to summon these emotions, because of the death of her parents, and her sister, Ruth being sold. Though it may be hard for her to express these feelings towards anyone, Lady Seymour has exponentially aided Isabel in her journey, and If I were Isabel, I would do the same to someone who had helped me so much.

Isabel was remembering all of the bad things that had happened to her in the past and they are coming back to haunt her. She wants them to go away but they wont go away. I would not want my bad memories to be in my brain forever. If they were than I would hate it so much because of how sad they are.]]> 2019-03-26 14:17:45 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345273005 (Anderson 214) nathan_messina https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345273134 "I took another deep breath of the frozen air." This is a metaphor because the air is not actually frozen. The air was fresh and it was very cold. She did not actually inhale frozen air because if she did then it would most likely be water.]]> 2019-03-26 14:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345273134 (Anderson 190) nathan_messina https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345273156 "Ruth's doll lay next to my head, her eyes staring up at the ceiling."
Memory Moment- This is important because it is showing how Isabel is still remembering about the times that she had had with Ruth. She wishes that she was not sold and had her instead of the doll.]]> 2019-03-26 14:17:59 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345273156 (Anderson 207) nathan_messina https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345273190 "Sarah and the cook were exchanging heated words in the kitchen" This means that the chef was getting yelled at and he was fighting back. He didn't care about what her opinion was and he wanted his opinion to break through so that she would believe him. ]]> 2019-03-26 14:18:01 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345273190 (Anderson 204) nathan_messina https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345273241 "Their heads down, some limping with a crutch or an arm in a sling. Their uniforms were torn and tattered." This shows that the soldiers had been through a lot and they had been attacked by the others. When they were in battle they had got injured. This is important because it shows that the Loyalists are fighting against the British because they don't want to lose.]]> 2019-03-26 14:18:04 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345273241 (Anderson 199) kyle_egan1 https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345273364 "It was lonely sleeping without that fool doll." Isabel lost Ruth's doll in the fire. The doll was all Isabel had left of anything. In an earlier chapter, Isabel had thought Ruth was being almost childish for not being able to fall asleep without her doll. Ruth is a child, and it's not unusual for children to have stuffed toys. Isabel is now in a similar position as her sister was, where she had trouble falling asleep without the doll too. For Isabel, there is a much deeper meaning. Ruth wanted her doll just to fall asleep as comfort. Isabel wanted the doll for the same reason, but also because she missed Ruth.]]> 2019-03-26 14:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345273364 (Anderson 197) kyle_egan1 https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345273455 "He said he was sorry that he could only die once for his country." This was a quote from Nathan Hale, a rebel. When Nathan Hale said this, it showed how loyal he was to his side. He wanted to die for his country multiple times, so that he would be able to help them win the war for as long as possible. A person can only die once, but being able to die multiple times would mean you were constantly giving up your life for a greater cause. Nathan Hale not only wanted to give his life up for his country, but he wanted to give it up many times.]]> 2019-03-26 14:18:26 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345273455 (Anderson 196) kyle_egan1 https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345273496 "Near 500 homes were destroyed that night, plus shops, churches, and stables." This quote made me wonder who started the fire. I don't believe it was an accident, because it didn't seem possible that one accidental fire could burn down so much of New York. It could have been the Patriots. By burning down New York, the Patriots would have an advantage. The British would be without shelter and weapons, an it would be a good time to attack. The downside to this is that the Patriots lose their homes and shops. The Patriots are also in rough condition, as the British had just recently attacked them. I don't think it could have been a Loyalist because they would have nothing to gain.]]> 2019-03-26 14:18:30 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345273496 (Anderson 186) kyle_egan1 https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345273531 "Madam ran me like a donkey all the next day-" Figurative Language - Simile - Isabel feels as though she is constantly being worked, and she's not wrong to feel that way. The author use a simile to show Isabel's feelings to emphasize how much work was expected of a slave. Slaves had to work so much, sometimes doing very energy-consuming tasks. A donkey is an animal that is very durable and people usually tend to overwork them. ]]> 2019-03-26 14:18:34 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345273531 (Anderson 187) kyle_egan1 https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345273584 "Madam scowled into her cup. 'You favor her over me, Elihu. It's unseemly." AA - Elihu is trying to convince Mrs. Lockton that Isabel should go work for Lady Seymore. He is a little more humane than Mrs. Lockton, as he disagreed with the selling of Ruth. Mr. Lockton insisted that Isabel goes to Lady Seymore immediately, to help her with her German soldiers. Madam Lockton is upset by this because she wants someone to do house chores for her. I didn't really understand this part because we learned previously that Madam Lockton can actually cook well. Isabel would be better at Lady Seymore's house because Lady Seymore is much nicer and much more reasonable than Mrs. Lockton.]]> 2019-03-26 14:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345273584 (Anderson 201) kyla_oconnor https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345699445 "When I had low thoughts like that, Curzon's voice would call from my remembery and tell me to join him, to become a rebel. I told that voice to hush."
Isabel feels betrayed by Curzon and the patriots because when she asked them for help one Madam was saying she was running away and was disrespectful they just stood there. But know since her punishment is gone Curzon yet again asked Isabel to spy for them and Isabel wasn't dealing with it. So whenever she hears Curzon's voice in her head so gets frustrated and just tells it to "hush."]]> 2019-03-27 13:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345699445 (Anderson 197) kyla_oconnor https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345699510 "My bee a' swarmed back into my brainpan"
Again and Again
Since Ruth was sold by Madam Isabel keeps having bees pop up in her head. This sort of represents her depression because they always come back into the story when something frustrating happens in Isabel's. For example during this scene the bees came back after Isabel dropped Ruth's doll.]]> 2019-03-27 13:52:29 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345699510 (Anderson 197) kyla_oconnor https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345699588 "There was no trail, nor proof of his guilt. They put rope around his neck and hung him high."
After the Loyalist gain more power over the rebels/patriots they have done many things to show that they were had more say. For example they put red ribbons into there hats to support their king. But know there arresting whoever they catch as a spy , and almost all end up being hang. Even if they did nothing wrong.]]> 2019-03-27 13:52:38 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345699588 (Anderson 199) kyla_oconnor https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345699622 "It was lonely without that fool doll."

During the fire at Lady Seymour's house Isabel goes and saves Lady Seymour. But while she does this she drops Ruth doll which was the only part of Ruth she had left.That doll meant a lot to Isabel because Ruth swore she couldn't fall asleep without having the doll with her. This made it more sentimentally to Isabel because Ruth had it around whenever she could. So it was sort of apart of Ruth, which allowed Isabel to be reminded something positive about her situation. Also how Ruth wasn't with her anymore.]]> 2019-03-27 13:52:42 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345699622 (Anderson 187) kyla_oconnor https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345699681 "You favor her over me, Elihu."
Like Lady Seymour, Elihu disagrees with the fact that Mrs. Lockton sold Ruth. This is mostly because Ruth was a little girl, only at the age of five. Also because Ruth was Isabel closet friend and was her only family left. But Madam gets mad over this fact and feels that they shouldn't take her slaves side. For not only this matter but for everything.

All I had lost was everything." shakira_islam https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345700402 Even though Isabel is in a deep depression and seemingly does not care about anything, she still cares for Ruth. This quote showed me that a part of Isabel is still in her. The caring, selfless, part. Because Ruth was Isabel's only person left and now she is gone, Ruth's doll sort of served as a keepsake. It helped Isabel honor and remember her sister. But, now that it is gone, will Isabel still think about and remember her? Or will she have a change of heart, and decide she cant spend her whole life feeling like Ruth's selling was her fault, and try to forget her? ]]> 2019-03-27 13:54:06 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345700402 (Anderson 203) "We'll not discuss payment again," she said slowly. "Thank you, ma'am," I said. shakira_islam https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345700483 With all that is going wrong in Isabel's life, and through all the pure hatred she is facing, Lady Seymour seems to be the only person showing her kindness. I think Lady Seymour's kind gestures mean a lot to Isabel and will eventually give her some hope. Currently, Isabel is in a deep depression and has given up on everything. But over time I think that these little kind things Lady Seymour does for Isabel will show her that there is still such thing as kindness in the world. Hopefully, she will realize this and try to fight for her freedom again. ]]> 2019-03-27 13:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345700483 (Anderson 213) "Would they let him starve?" shakira_islam https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345700499 Although Isabel claims to completely hate and not care about Curzon, she cant hep but wonder about his safety. This change in behavior is important as he is a rebel. If she starts to trust him again does that mean she will go back to fighting with the patriots? Will she go back to fighting for her freedom? ]]> 2019-03-27 13:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345700499 (Anderson 216) "Dont do this." Again and Again shakira_islam https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345700514 Isabel repeats this phrase to herself as she preps to go into the prison to feed Curzon. Despite these voices in her head, she still continues to get ready. This is important as it shows she is becoming her self again. She is rebelling not only against the unfair system but also against her inner thoughts. She is starting to get over her depression, and is seemingly regaining her bravery. Hopefully, she returns to her old self and tries to fight for her freedom again.]]> 2019-03-27 13:54:17 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345700514 (Anderson 227) "The more I leave behind, the more there is for you to take to the prison." Aha! Moment shakira_islam https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345723348 At this moment, Isabel realizes that Lady Seymour knows that Isabel takes her scraps to the prison to feed the British prisoners. I think Isabel felt ashamed when she said this, as it made it seem like she would much rather the prisoners eat the food than the sick Lady Seymour. However, she approved saying that it was a "fine and Christian thing". Now that Lady Seymour knows, I wonder if she will try and cover for Isabel when she is gone. ]]> 2019-03-27 14:32:40 UTC https://padlet.com/owen_carvalho/cz27kicomca6/wish/345723348
