This family loves their kids and the mom shows she is willing to stand up to her biggest fears to make them happy, but it isn't always that easy. ]]> 2020-10-23 14:49:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sinne060/na7jh71n6z2hcclu/wish/856040295 sinne060 https://padlet.com/sinne060/na7jh71n6z2hcclu/wish/856071623 I believe that every story in this book is related, but these stories are related through loss. The story before is about death and grief and the story after is about loss of sacred traditions. All of these are connected in the theme of impacting others.]]> 2020-10-23 14:57:11 UTC https://padlet.com/sinne060/na7jh71n6z2hcclu/wish/856071623 sinne060 https://padlet.com/sinne060/na7jh71n6z2hcclu/wish/856094952 There are many metaphors, with the fruits and nuts which is what they families are picking in the fields. Also the panic from crowds chattering, is a symbol of the simple life they live without other people.]]> 2020-10-23 15:03:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sinne060/na7jh71n6z2hcclu/wish/856094952 sinne060 https://padlet.com/sinne060/na7jh71n6z2hcclu/wish/856534473 This story struck me in reminding myself that not everyone celebrates holidays because of the strain it puts on the families. It made me sit back and think about all the privilege surrounding little things like going into town and buying gifts.]]> 2020-10-23 16:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sinne060/na7jh71n6z2hcclu/wish/856534473 sinne060 https://padlet.com/sinne060/na7jh71n6z2hcclu/wish/856550116 2020-10-23 16:51:35 UTC https://padlet.com/sinne060/na7jh71n6z2hcclu/wish/856550116 sinne060 https://padlet.com/sinne060/na7jh71n6z2hcclu/wish/856553504 2020-10-23 16:52:27 UTC https://padlet.com/sinne060/na7jh71n6z2hcclu/wish/856553504 sinne060 https://padlet.com/sinne060/na7jh71n6z2hcclu/wish/856557563 While reading these stories as a white middle class female, I couldn't help but be shocked by the privilege I have over these families/stories. The other themes I recognized while reading was the importance of faith, church, and Christ. Also the theme of loss and death in so many of them. ]]> 2020-10-23 16:53:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sinne060/na7jh71n6z2hcclu/wish/856557563
