"The inexorable facts closed in on him like prison-warders handcuffing a convict. There was no way out -- none. He was a prisoner for life, and now his one ray of light was to be extinguished."(117).]]> 2017-02-15 13:17:49 UTC https://padlet.com/liirwin17/imyxxuuir7ue/wish/153986587 "Running Away" olpainchau17 https://padlet.com/liirwin17/imyxxuuir7ue/wish/153986872
From the song:

"It's like I'm running away with the wind in my face,
it's like I'm flying, flying."

This is very similar to the quote from the novel;

"As they took wing for this it seemed to him that they were flying indeed, flying far up into the cloudy night..." (147). 

He feels alive, awakened, and genuinely happy when with Mattie.

Shakespeare Love Quotes 5: Much Ado About Nothing – Act 3, Scene 2

“Love goes by haps; Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps”


Shakespeare Love Quotes 6: Antony & Cleopatra – Act 5, Scene 5

“The stroke of death is as a lovers pinch, Which hurts and is desired”

"'There's where we sat at the picnic,' he reminded her... 'You were as pretty as a picture in that pink hat'... they had never before avowed their inclination so openly"(134).

 Love had such an impact on them, that once they realized how the other felt, they would rather die than be apart.

He became energized and excited when around her and at the thought of leaving with her. 

"Ethan was fired by the shot. Why should he not leave with Mattie the next day..." (114-115).

"Moreover, how much did pride count in the ebullition of passions in his breast?" (122).

But earlier in the text, Ethan decides not to risk these important aspects of his life for Zeena;

"Only one thing weighed on him, and that was his having told Zeena that he was to receive cash for the lumber...He therefore made his demand with the awkwardness of a proud man" (64-66).
]]> 2017-02-15 13:57:25 UTC https://padlet.com/liirwin17/imyxxuuir7ue/wish/153998869 Thesis Statement jawilkes17 https://padlet.com/liirwin17/imyxxuuir7ue/wish/154568251 Ethan Frome's romance with Zeena destroys him, but once he and Mattie confess their mutual love, he still can't fully attain happiness due to the accident. This is a tragic ending, and leads to why we see this novella as realistic; neither of the featured romances were ever developed past Ethan's imagination. 

Mattie is vivacious and lively, and brings another persona to Ethan. Before, Zeena acted as an oppressor and Ethan felt stuck in his marriage because Zeena never wanted to be happy. However, although these romances never lasted they were a main focus of the plot, which is why this is considered a Realist piece of literature. ]]> 2017-02-17 12:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/liirwin17/imyxxuuir7ue/wish/154568251 OLIVIA PAINCHAUD olpainchau17 https://padlet.com/liirwin17/imyxxuuir7ue/wish/154570734 2017-02-17 13:14:33 UTC https://padlet.com/liirwin17/imyxxuuir7ue/wish/154570734 LINDSAY IRWIN liirwin17 https://padlet.com/liirwin17/imyxxuuir7ue/wish/154570780 2017-02-17 13:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/liirwin17/imyxxuuir7ue/wish/154570780 JAMIE WILKES jawilkes17 https://padlet.com/liirwin17/imyxxuuir7ue/wish/154570886 2017-02-17 13:15:22 UTC https://padlet.com/liirwin17/imyxxuuir7ue/wish/154570886 Works Cited (MLA): liirwin17 https://padlet.com/liirwin17/imyxxuuir7ue/wish/154815844
