Midterm Comp Lit: Interpretive questions by Mariana Bodnaruk https://padlet.com/mb2445/Bookmarks en-us 2021-02-16 18:36:03 UTC 2021-04-18 11:07:36 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f9a2.png Instructions mb2445 https://padlet.com/mb2445/Bookmarks/wish/1347060462 Please write an interpretative question (regarding the text you chose to discuss in the midterm) that you would like to have as your main question in the midterm paper. The interpretive question is one-sentence question that is not factual or too general, but highlights some important theme of the literary text and allows different possible intepretations.

P.S. You can read and comment on the interpretive questions of your peers!]]> 2021-03-24 09:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mb2445/Bookmarks/wish/1347060462 Manar Khamayseh makhamayseh2002 https://padlet.com/mb2445/Bookmarks/wish/1371051812 At the end of "The Hospital Patient," the non-fiction story by Charles Dickens, the young woman had said before she died, "I hope God Almighty will forgive me all the wrong I have done, and the life I have led" (P. 4). Why did the woman ask for forgiveness while she did not do anything wrong?

Do the family and society have a role in creating an inferiority complex within this woman to the extent that makes her feel that she deserves death?]]> 2021-03-31 10:56:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mb2445/Bookmarks/wish/1371313405 Yara Al-Zawahrah https://padlet.com/mb2445/Bookmarks/wish/1374624698 In the story "Désirée’s Baby," the author says, "She disappeared among the reeds and willows that grew thick along the banks of the deep, sluggish bayou; and she did not come back again" (Chopin 185). So, after the beautiful love marriage that she lived with Armand and after her bad childhood that he lived without her real parents, what are the struggles and difficulties that led her to death?

1-  To what extent did her childhood affect her relationships, consciousness, and behaviors for the rest of her life, even after she got married?

 2-  To what extent societal pressure made her believe that she was guilty?]]> 2021-04-01 10:15:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mb2445/Bookmarks/wish/1374896671 Mohammad https://padlet.com/mb2445/Bookmarks/wish/1375000539 In the Holy Quran, particularly in Chapter 18 (The Cave), Moses went to a man to learn from his experience, but the man made Moses furious by killing a young boy, making a hole in a boat, and repairing a wall. Then, Moses protested, but the man told him:" ‘Did I not tell you that you would never be able to bear with me patiently?" (The Cave, P.188, verse 75). So, what did the man try to teach Moses? What is the significance of the story?   ]]> 2021-04-01 11:27:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mb2445/Bookmarks/wish/1375000539 Badi' Obeid https://padlet.com/mb2445/Bookmarks/wish/1378383689  It is clarified in the Gospel that Jesus was in the form of a human being. He was eating food like a human being: "While they were eating, Jesus took a loaf of bread" (Matthew 26). Also, when he was crucified, they (WHO "THEY"?) took his clothes: "And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves by casting lots" (Matthew 27). So, his clothes were like theirs.
Why did Jesus come in human form if he could have come in another form and everyone would believe in him?

And I want to ask you professor. Can I link the topic to what we read about the Prophet Moses and Muhammad in Surat Al-Kahf (The Cave)? For example, that the reasons for Jesus' coming in the human form are almost the same ones for the messengers.

So what was the purpose of keeping the truth that Armand belongs to a race that is "cursed with the brand of slavery" as described? And how would Armand's life be like if he knew that earlier?

How stereotypes and people around the woman contributed to build her personality? ]]> 2021-04-03 15:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mb2445/Bookmarks/wish/1379595772 baraa alhajajra baraaalhajajra1_1 https://padlet.com/mb2445/Bookmarks/wish/1379678688  Desiree baby 
"When the baby was about three months old, Désirée awoke one day to the conviction that there was something in the air menacing her peace "(chopin . p183)
Why did the writer move the reader from the luxurious life that Desiree was leading to the trouble she faced from her husband without providing any information to the reader what are the reasons?]]> 2021-04-03 16:40:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mb2445/Bookmarks/wish/1379678688 Nawal Kaloti nawalkaloti https://padlet.com/mb2445/Bookmarks/wish/1379852748  In "The Hospital Patient", it was mentioned in the story about what is the feeling of those who are not looked after by their families, but by strangers, but I ask what is the reason for the apostasy of this woman who was hurt by a person dear to her and what is the reason for her denying that he hurt her?
