I got the feeling that she would have run out like in this photo and celebrated if she could have.

The girl is being taught how to be a proper lady and not a 'slut'.]]> 2016-09-20 04:23:27 UTC https://padlet.com/DarlaMcMahon/hlbyxlwcvudw/wish/124954001 DarlaMcMahon https://padlet.com/DarlaMcMahon/hlbyxlwcvudw/wish/124954332 A broken bird cage is talked about in this story. It is assumed that Mr. Wright broke the cage open to kill the bird. To me this also represents the moment that Mrs. Wright snapped and killed her husband.]]> 2016-09-20 04:28:42 UTC https://padlet.com/DarlaMcMahon/hlbyxlwcvudw/wish/124954332 DarlaMcMahon https://padlet.com/DarlaMcMahon/hlbyxlwcvudw/wish/124954659 This story is based in a time when depression wasn't really well known, or at least not an official thing. After living in a room with ugly yellow wallpaper, the narrator starts to go insane and imagines a woman trapped in the wall. Towards the end of the story she believes that it was her trapped and walks over her fainted husband to keep touching the wallpaper.]]> 2016-09-20 04:32:20 UTC https://padlet.com/DarlaMcMahon/hlbyxlwcvudw/wish/124954659 DarlaMcMahon https://padlet.com/DarlaMcMahon/hlbyxlwcvudw/wish/124955127 We are led to believe that Mrs. Wright really loved her bird before it was killed. This is assumed because she loved singing, but also because she carefully wrapped its body in silk and placed it in a nice box. Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters hide the box from the authorities because they felt bad for Mrs. Wright. ]]> 2016-09-20 04:37:52 UTC https://padlet.com/DarlaMcMahon/hlbyxlwcvudw/wish/124955127 DarlaMcMahon https://padlet.com/DarlaMcMahon/hlbyxlwcvudw/wish/131654577 In this story, a young black man was planning on giving a speech in front of a group of white men, instead he is forced to participate in a 'Battle Royal'. This is a blindfolded boxing match with 9 of his black classmates.]]> 2016-10-18 23:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/DarlaMcMahon/hlbyxlwcvudw/wish/131654577 DarlaMcMahon https://padlet.com/DarlaMcMahon/hlbyxlwcvudw/wish/131655838 In this story, a mother and her daughter, Maggie, wait for her other daughter, Dee, to come visit. While visiting she tries to take some of the family's belongings claiming it to be her heritage. She tries to take some quilts that their ancestors made and Maggie gets upset. Mama tells Dee that she promised Maggie could have them. Dee gets upset and leaves while Maggie and Mama relax outside together. ]]> 2016-10-18 23:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/DarlaMcMahon/hlbyxlwcvudw/wish/131655838 DarlaMcMahon https://padlet.com/DarlaMcMahon/hlbyxlwcvudw/wish/131656469 Miss Moore, an educated African American woman, is teaching neighborhood African American children lessons during their summer break. She takes the children to an upper class white neighborhood toy store. In this store, everything is expensive and a toy boat costs more than one of the children's household yearly income.]]> 2016-10-18 23:25:45 UTC https://padlet.com/DarlaMcMahon/hlbyxlwcvudw/wish/131656469 DarlaMcMahon https://padlet.com/DarlaMcMahon/hlbyxlwcvudw/wish/131657076 A group of African American girls are at a summer camp with their girl scout troupe. They plot revenge against a group consisting of white girls because one girl believed she heard someone call another girl a nigger. The lesson in this story is to not discriminate against someone for something they cannot control. ]]> 2016-10-18 23:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/DarlaMcMahon/hlbyxlwcvudw/wish/131657076 DarlaMcMahon https://padlet.com/DarlaMcMahon/hlbyxlwcvudw/wish/139498428 Seeing as "The Things They Carried" was about men at war, I thought that a photo of men at war would be appropriate. I was considering burning letters or a pebble like the one Martha gave Cross, but decided against it. I felt that this photo would best describe the scenario that the men were in.]]> 2016-11-23 01:49:40 UTC https://padlet.com/DarlaMcMahon/hlbyxlwcvudw/wish/139498428 DarlaMcMahon https://padlet.com/DarlaMcMahon/hlbyxlwcvudw/wish/139498805 This photo can represent Willy Loman. It shows a business man down in the dumps all alone, which is how I feel that Willy felt throughout most of the story. Although he was rude and pushed his family away, it is still sad to watch someone who is suffering.]]> 2016-11-23 01:54:55 UTC https://padlet.com/DarlaMcMahon/hlbyxlwcvudw/wish/139498805
