She still kept her pretty manner and soft grace, and was, he considered, every whit as attractive as ever. As for himself, his stent was done; he had turned his face away from fortune-seeking, and the old winds of romance whistled as loud and sweet as ever through his ears." (Freeman 7)]]> 2022-11-13 18:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/s24600079/k0c0egb7kmil5z6i/wish/2381743165 s24600079 https://padlet.com/s24600079/k0c0egb7kmil5z6i/wish/2381743616 When viewed through the feminist lens, a reader can infer that the idea of gender roles is supported, Louisa has waited years for Joe Daggett's return and when he has finally returned she doesn't want to marry him. But since Joe is the man he gets to decide whether or not they get married.  Louise and Joe perfectly reinforce this gender role of the man has the final say. (Harris)]]> 2022-11-13 18:35:19 UTC https://padlet.com/s24600079/k0c0egb7kmil5z6i/wish/2381743616 s24600079 https://padlet.com/s24600079/k0c0egb7kmil5z6i/wish/2381753038 "Now the tall weeds and grasses might cluster around Ceasar's little hermit hut, the snow might fall on its roof year in and year out, but he never would go on a rampage through the unguarded village. Now the little canary might turn itself into a peaceful yellow ball night after night, and have no need to wake and flutter with wild terror against its bars. Louisa could sew linen seams, and distil roses, and dust and polish and fold away in lavender, as long as she listed. " (Freeman 13,14)]]> 2022-11-13 18:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/s24600079/k0c0egb7kmil5z6i/wish/2381753038 s24600079 https://padlet.com/s24600079/k0c0egb7kmil5z6i/wish/2381759600 In this quote the dog and the bird are supposed to represent Louise, more specifically how Louise will live out the rest of her life, she can do what she enjoys and not have to worry about her burden to Joe. Analyzing the text through the feminist lens, we can see that Louise's life depends on the choices of Joe. The gender role being women are supposed to be obedient and listen to the man. (Harris)]]> 2022-11-13 18:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/s24600079/k0c0egb7kmil5z6i/wish/2381759600 s24600079 https://padlet.com/s24600079/k0c0egb7kmil5z6i/wish/2381776353 Readers with different political goals and identities can see the feminist agenda in a new light through this text. Through the story Louise just wants to live a separate life and do what she loves.  but is burdened by her commitment and eventual return of Joe. It is apparent in the text that Joe has complete control over Louise, whenever they talk it's like Louise has to comply.  Louise through the story is constantly sacrificing herself for her male counterpart. She does this because she feels she needs to fulfill her duty as a woman, as to fulfill her gender role. She does this by never taking another man and waiting over a decade for him to return.]]> 2022-11-13 19:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/s24600079/k0c0egb7kmil5z6i/wish/2381776353 s24600079 https://padlet.com/s24600079/k0c0egb7kmil5z6i/wish/2383682097 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AlVvSky-_I1WjHrsdvwpb86OOW_0TRHmkSF2tib_ytk/edit?usp=sharing ]]> 2022-11-14 21:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/s24600079/k0c0egb7kmil5z6i/wish/2383682097
