Their end result is to achieve a piece of land of their own, with rabbits and animals of the like. Lennie, one of the main characters, wishes to be with the rabbits 🐰. That is Lennie's only dream and our sculpture reflects that. In our sculpture you can observe the small rabbit on Lennie's shoulder; this shows reality. However in reality, Lennie cannot physically deal with the rabbits. For he is too strong. Any living thing Lennie has ever tried to handle, has been hurt or killed. Now, in his thought bubble, you can see a much larger rabbit, which is what is needed for Lennie to be able to handle ]]> 2017-06-06 16:06:20 UTC https://padlet.com/keward1/dv43qwzie4yn/wish/175419638 https://padlet.com/keward1/dv43qwzie4yn/wish/175419990 To Kill a mockingbird features a man of color (Tom Robinson) wrongly convicted of rape.

The person in the doorway represents Connie as she is contemplating whether she should make the right or wrong decisions. The car on the road represents Arnold Friend and all the bad decisions Connie has made. The road which has "Nowhere" written across it symbolizes how Connie's bad decisions lead her nowhere in that nothing good ever comes of them.]]> 2017-06-06 16:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/keward1/dv43qwzie4yn/wish/175422335 https://padlet.com/keward1/dv43qwzie4yn/wish/175426648 (There are spoilers in this paragraph)
The play dough sculpture of a mockingbird represents the children, Scout and Jem. Throughout the story, Jem and Scout grow up together and mature overtime. In the middle of the story Atticus, Scout and Jem's father, told Scout that you cannot kill a mockingbird, because that is a sin. Later in the story, Atticus defends Tom Robinson, a man who was accused of raping Mayella Ewell, the daughter of Bob Ewell. Bob Ewell approached Atticus after the case and told him that he would get him at some point in his life, and spit in his face. At the end of the story, Bob Ewell attempted to kill Scout and Jem, showing how he really did not care and was willing to do anything to upset Atticus. Scout and Jem represent the mockingbird and innocence, and how they suddenly matured after they were nearly murdered. ]]> 2017-06-06 16:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/keward1/dv43qwzie4yn/wish/175426648 https://padlet.com/keward1/dv43qwzie4yn/wish/175574366 This pencil and paper represents the starting materials of Martin Luther King Jr.'s influential letter that he wrote from Birmingham jail. He was responding to the critisizms of the church and others who were delaying the end of segregation. In this letter he speaks of peace and equality, hence the symbols on the piece of paper. ]]> 2017-06-07 14:36:36 UTC https://padlet.com/keward1/dv43qwzie4yn/wish/175574366 https://padlet.com/keward1/dv43qwzie4yn/wish/175574451 Our story is based around witchcraft in Salem, in 1692. In the Crucible, witchcraft had been a huge deal, and many were being wrongfully accused and hanged, which we expressed thorough our play-dog structure. The hat represents witchcraft which is hanging a lady. The lady is sad and holding a cross, which indicated that she was accused even though she was not with the devil and was not practicing witchcraft. Lastly, there is a man standing happily, and thus represents the people who would accuse people of witchcraft so they could benefit, for example, they'd be able to take someone's land. The structure symbolizes a synopsis of the play, the Crucible. ]]> 2017-06-07 14:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/keward1/dv43qwzie4yn/wish/175574451 https://padlet.com/keward1/dv43qwzie4yn/wish/175574993 This play-dough sculpture depicts a communist flag and a question mark(with a snowman kind of a confused reader, we weren't able to decide why we created it, but yeah it's there for some reason). Throughout the story, there is a prevailing communism hidden message which is shown through the flag. This message is not clearly shown through the text, which is why there is a question mark next to the flag. To further exemplify this, the flag is intentionally trimmed with green as to draw a connection to Animal Farms communism green flag. Animal Farm was an allegory on communism, further drawing The Crucible's connection to communism as well as demonstrating the allegorical nature of the book.]]> 2017-06-07 14:40:00 UTC https://padlet.com/keward1/dv43qwzie4yn/wish/175574993 https://padlet.com/keward1/dv43qwzie4yn/wish/175575077 The sculpture we made represents racism. The purple bird represents the antagonized African American ( Tom Robinson) and the orange bird represents white people who do more wrong than the purple bird. Even though the orange bird is eating the berries, the purple bird is being shot at with a gun and punished based on the sole fact of being purple.]]> 2017-06-07 14:40:27 UTC https://padlet.com/keward1/dv43qwzie4yn/wish/175575077 https://padlet.com/keward1/dv43qwzie4yn/wish/175575325 Our sculpture represents what Lennie kills throughout the book. In the first portion of the sculpture, there is a mouse becuase that is the first thing Lennie kille early on. Then he accidentally kills a little puppy. In the end, we predict he will kill something else, but we don't knoww what.

Our sculpture represents the allegory to the Red Scare and McCarthyism. Instead of writing about the Red scare directly, Miller wrote about the false accusations made during the witch trials in relation to the false accusations made during the Red Scare. The red background with the word scare is to bring attention to this allegory. Also, the reason why the “A” is in purple is so it stands out. We wanted it to stand out because we made it into a symbol of witchcraft to show the relation between the witch trials and the Red Scare. ]]> 2017-06-07 14:47:08 UTC https://padlet.com/keward1/dv43qwzie4yn/wish/175576245 https://padlet.com/keward1/dv43qwzie4yn/wish/175726675 2017-06-08 13:14:44 UTC https://padlet.com/keward1/dv43qwzie4yn/wish/175726675
