Music turned my father into a reservation philosopher. Music had powerful medicine." This quote testifies to the fact that Jimi Hendrix's music changed her father forever. https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/717934581 2020-09-03 14:01:40 UTC https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/717934581 QUOTE/split https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/717937859 "Music has powerful medicine" 

I would split this after this line because it shows the healing power jimi had over his past; i would also split it to the line (page 53) "on a reservation."

The first part would be about his past/power of music, the second part would be about his love/family/effects of the song on his current life, the third would be what the result of music/love/experiences were (divorce)]]> 2020-09-03 14:02:32 UTC https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/717937859 Quote https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/717938787 "Because of all that, my father always remembered the second before my mother left him for good and took me with her. No. I remembered the second before my father left my mother and me. No. My mother remembered the second before my father left her to finish raising me all by herself."]]> 2020-09-03 14:02:46 UTC https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/717938787 Music https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/717940325 I believe the quote, "Music had powerful Medicine", was what helped her father change and live a better life after his prison sentence. He used Jimi Hendrix's songs as a comfort and a way to feel enjoyment and relation between Jimi's songs and the father's life.]]> 2020-09-03 14:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/717940325 we didnt talk much.one because my father didnt talk much when he was sober, and two, because indians dont need to talk to communicate https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/717942604 2020-09-03 14:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/717942604 funny quote https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/717945001 "I remember when your father would haul that old guitar..."

Like when I first read them, it made me feel something that I wasn't expecting.

"It's cold."
"No," I said "I know he's coming back tonight."

I like this part because it show's that even after everything he still had hope in his father and wants to depend on him more than anything. It's clear that he wants things to go back to the way they once were, even though he knows it's just a fragment of his imagination.

Instead of remembering the bad things, remember what happened immediately before." 

This quote explains the that the way the father thought. Instead of remembering the bad things that happened he only talked about the good moments.]]> 2020-09-03 14:12:54 UTC https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/717980243 Quotes https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/717990487 "After all the .... I had been through, I figured Jimi Hendrix must have known I was there in the crowd to play something like that. It was exactly how I felt."

This is exactly how I have felt with music I like so in a way I can see where he is coming from. ]]> 2020-09-03 14:15:23 UTC https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/717990487 Quote https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/719391213 "Jimi Hendrix and my father became drinking buddies. Jimi Hendrix waited for my father to come home after a long night of drinking" 

This quote seems very important to me because it is not only filled with figurative language, but is shows the true dependence that the narrator's father had with Jimmie Hendrix. It shows the true significance of Jimmie Hendrix. ]]> 2020-09-03 20:15:23 UTC https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/719391213 msphoa2015 https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/719922128 2020-09-04 01:51:14 UTC https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/719922128 Quote https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/720729853 "Only the good die young"
This quote stood out to me because nowadays a lot of good people die young and those people have spread a message that to me made them good people. Shortly after the mother said "only crazy people die by choking on their vomit." Unfortunately a lot of the people don't go out in the best of ways but that doesn't change the fact they were good people in their own way. ]]> 2020-09-04 13:14:54 UTC https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/720729853 quote https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/720807429 "this might be the only marriage broken up by a dead guitar player" I chose this quote because It brought humor into the story. ]]> 2020-09-04 13:40:37 UTC https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/720807429 Quote https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/721066746 "What's real? I ain't interested in what's real. I'm interested in how things should be" 
This quote reminds me of the phrase "whatever helps you sleep at night" because this basically means that he's creating a shield, like he's protecting himself from the truth. ]]> 2020-09-04 14:56:37 UTC https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/721066746 Hi. https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/789415265 2020-09-29 19:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/msphoa2015/iptl8lz0vbk92mpw/wish/789415265
