The Burnells are a rich family, and the two Burnell children are quite popular in school, so naturally they think that this doll house is a great way to gain more popularity. They invite friends over two by two to their house so friends can get a look at the amazing doll house. They however do not invite the Kelvey children, whose father is suspected to be in prison, and mother begs for cloth to give to them. One day, the Youngest Burnell named Kezia asks their mother if she can invite the Kelveys because she feels bad for them, however her mother does not allow it. A day or so later Kezia sees the Kelveys walking by and invites them in anyways. Kezia's aunt sees that the Kelveys are in the yard, and forces them to go away because of the stigma around them. In the end, the Kelvey sisters end up alone, just as they always have been.]]> 2018-03-06 17:37:37 UTC https://padlet.com/29141/m2cqvio3ugmb/wish/238765264 29141 https://padlet.com/29141/m2cqvio3ugmb/wish/238765425 "Then both were silent once more" (Mansfield 68) 
This is the very last line of the story, and it shows that the Kelveys have always been segregated from everyone else, and even when they thought they might not be, very soon after, they were thrown back in to being outcasts.]]> 2018-03-06 17:37:49 UTC https://padlet.com/29141/m2cqvio3ugmb/wish/238765425 29141 https://padlet.com/29141/m2cqvio3ugmb/wish/238766968 In this story Katherine Mansfield uses some British specific slang/descriptions, showing that this takes place in Britain. She makes a distinguished difference in how the different social classes are seen by everyone, showing that almost everyone dislikes the poor Kelveys. She also She also does not use any real advanced vocabulary, making it so almost anyone could understand what they are reading, and if someone does not understand, if they are reading it through Pearson the definition is given to them soon after they read the word. ]]> 2018-03-06 17:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/29141/m2cqvio3ugmb/wish/238766968
