      <title>4th PERIOD - “The Flowers” is Alice Walker’s shortest short story. There is as much left unsaid in this story as there is stated. Why do you suppose Walker left so much up to the reader to infer rather than including more background on the time and place of the story and the circumstances regarding the death of the man she found in the woods? Write a well-constructed paragraph explaining your answer, supported with evidence from the text. by Kelsey Clark</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I believe <strong><em>Walker</em></strong> did this to add a <em>concise</em>, <em>mysterious</em> feel to the story. Seeing as the dead man was random and came about quickly after <strong><em>Myop's</em></strong>: "heel had become lodged," (Walker, 1) in the <strong>Man's</strong> broken area between his brow and nose.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In the short story "The Flowers" by Alice Walker, she left a lot of details out for the reader to infer. Walker did this because she wanted the reader to develop a bigger picture on the vague story line she provided. An example of this is when Walker describes the corpse Myop found in the woods. She is very descriptive of how he looks, but doesn't involve any details of what happened to him. Walker provided the reader with very little detail, so that the reader could think more and infer what actually happened to the man.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think Walker left so much up to the reader to infer because it would add more to the imagery of the short story the reason for this when myop walks up on the dead body walker describes the body in detail for the reader to imagine.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I think the author left so much unsaid because she wanted the reader to think about the story and how the words meant something. For example  in paragraph 8 it says " Myop laid her flowers". Walker put this because it meant something and she used keywords that would make the reader think. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Alice walker the author left so much key details out of her story because she wanted to make the reader realize what happened based on the time that it takes place. She gives so much details on where Myop is from and where her family lives. The author made Myop not notice the body and when she found the body the author did not go into  a lot of deatail about the body and what had happen beside the teeth being broken and the noose on the ground.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong><em>Alice Walker </em></strong><em>gives the reader a chance of creativity and mystery leaving multiple cliff hangers. The reason it is is to exfoliate the emphasis of a short story and why they are made. I believe that she used Myop as a minimal example to make a inference in her perspective as she was clueless to the world around here.</em></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>i think the author left so much up to the reader because they want you to have to think about the story and makes u curious on the events that they didn't mention in the story. Myop didnt say much about the scene she just said some things but left a'lot of  information out.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I believe that Alice left so much out of the story because she wanted the people reading to use what they already know about that time period. Like when Myop stepped smacked into the man's eye so Alice wants the readers to infer what had happened to the man or the sharecropper cabin is what freed slaves lived in and paid by the crops they grew. These two details might be reasons why Alice left out a lot of information and made the readers infer more than most authors might have.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>I believe the author left out a bunch of key things because she wanted the reader to feel like they were in Myop's shoes ,a<br>lso to represent&nbsp; mystery in some sort of way.&nbsp; Some evidence to represent my claims are the way she explained the man's dead body but not really stated what exactly happened because obviously Myop really didn't know what exactly happened. Like the author explains Myop going there and seeing the dead body and not truly examining it just kind of looking at it in fear. The author also makes us feel like we are in Myop's shoes by using imagery like " pushed back the leaves and layers of earth and debris. My evidence represents my claim because it i believe it truly and deeply explained why i think the author wrote this story the way she did</div>]]></description>

An example if this is describes the man, because she doesn't tell you how he died or when he died,because she wanted you to decide.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong><em>Alice Walker </em></strong>from the short story "The Flowers" is leaving the reader curious because she wants the reader to&nbsp;decide weather the mean is dead or not as evidence from the text is says, " It was when she stepped smack into his eyes". By that text she is not giving us any evidence of how he looked even if it wasn't bones. She is showing extreme imagery for the reader. </div>]]></description>
