Laura because this is when Laura can get some control of her own self . With Hap bedridden,  Laura can go out an do things outside the farm. It is an opportunity in the sense that she has independence from Henry and the farm, but she with Florence leaving the house to go out to the fields, I think Laura is lonely and even more bored than before.

Leaving the farm allows Laura to take control of her life for a brief amount of time, but none the less she is the front runner of fixing this problem. Hap's broken leg also serves as an invitation to get closer to Florence, the first and only friend Laura has in the farm.

She is able to leave her home and get out which she rarely gets to.]]> 2017-04-27 17:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168709504 https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168709561 Hap’s broken leg is an opportunity for Laura because it gives her the chance to do something to show Henry she is capable of helping. Although Henry does not like how she went about getting Hap care, he turns it around so that Laura feels bad. Henry does not like how Laura did what she felt was right, instead of doing what he wanted her to do. ]]> 2017-04-27 17:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168709561 https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168709684 Hap's broken leg is an opportunity for Laura ]]> 2017-04-27 17:36:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168709684 https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168710203 Haps broken leg is an opportunity for Laura to become more of her own person. She is able to leave the confounds of her husband, and escape into the greater world.  Leaving the farm, though a small act to any onlooker, is what may spur Laura to make small rebellions toward her husband as acts of independence in the future.  By leaving the farm, she is tasting again what the outside world is like, making her petty farm life seem bland.  ]]> 2017-04-27 17:37:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168710203 https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168710332 Haps broken leg is an opportunity for Laura because she gets to leave the house for once, but also it has created more of an all hands on deck atmosphere. This gives Laura more responsibility within their family and on the farm, and with this she is also given more pull in their family.]]> 2017-04-27 17:38:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168710332 https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168710462 Hap’s broken leg is an opportunity for Laura because Florence is no longer able to help her around the house. Since Laura relies on Florence’s company and help she is now forced to grow into her new life at the farm. Also Laura is able to venture out by herself without Henry’s knowledge to find a new doctor for Hap. This adventure to find Hap a new doctor gives Laura a sense of empowerment, as she is able to do something without Henry's approval or knowledge. ]]> 2017-04-27 17:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168710462 Haps broken leg seems like an opportunity for Laura to get some alone time away from Henry because now Henry has to work a lot harder on the farm. For example, Henry tells Laura that she can go shopping for clothes with their daughters. Also now that pap is injured Florence is no longer working in the house with Laura which makes her feel lonely. Ultimately, this forces Henry to spoil Laura by saying that he is going to get her a new maid and that she can go shopping which she pretends she is excited to do at first. https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168710825 2017-04-27 17:39:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168710825 https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168711071 Hap's broken leg gives Laura the opportunity to escape the boring life she has to endure on the farm. It allows her to leave and regain some agency in her life. These decisions that she makes herself allow her to prove herself and her independence to Henry. This gives her more influence in decisions and eliminates the feeling that her life has been taken out of her hands

Laura leaves the house for an entire day looking for a doctor to help Hap, so that Laura can get Florence back in her life. Laura says directly in the chapter how she has missed Florence ever since Hap’s injury. ]]> 2017-04-27 17:40:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168711084 Hap’s broken leg allows Laura to alter the power dynamic in her relationship with him. She now has more power and she can control more of her own life. She doesn’t always have to make sure she gets his approval for everything. It also allows her to do things that she wants to do on her own free time. https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168711231 2017-04-27 17:41:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168711231 Hap's broken leg is an opportunity for Laura because this is when Laura can get some control of her own self . With Hap bedridden,  Laura can go out an do things outside the farm. It is an opportunity in the sense that she has independence from Henry and the farm, but she with Florence leaving the house to go out to the fields, I think Laura is lonely and even more bored than before. Although alone, Laura has more and important responsibilities around the farm.  https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168711600 2017-04-27 17:42:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168711600 https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168711755 Haps broken leg gives Laura the opportunity for laura to stand up to Henry, and to return the favor to Florence.  Laura and Henry are starting to have their first arguments as a married couple and helping Hap is Laura’s means of expressing how she truly feels about the farm.  Likewise it is an opportunity for Laura to show Florence, Hap’s wife, how much their relationship means to her.  Laura misses Florence when she leaves to help Hap, so Laura goes out to get a doctor to heal Hap in efforts for her return.  Unfortunately at this point Florence still needs to help Hap and her efforts were futile, yet there is hope for her and Henry.  After Henry discovered Laura lied about wanting to go into town, and that she actually went out to find a doctor she left Henry feeling betrayed. ]]> 2017-04-27 17:42:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jermaine_matheson/fkgj4bveds1g/wish/168711755
