"You would never trap a bird who flies." Ruth is like the bird who flies because she loved to travel and hated tight spaces where she felt trapped. As a child, she loved feeling the wind blowing on her face when running. -Kairvi https://padlet.com/jagrutigandhipatel/ndj7k7c3ooy910e8/wish/1988810603 2022-01-12 17:57:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jagrutigandhipatel/ndj7k7c3ooy910e8/wish/1988810603 Nobody can make it out alone regardless of their socioeconomic class. Everybody needs social interaction and guidance. - Jordon https://padlet.com/jagrutigandhipatel/ndj7k7c3ooy910e8/wish/1988810799 2022-01-12 17:57:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jagrutigandhipatel/ndj7k7c3ooy910e8/wish/1988810799 It is difficult to make it in the real world alone. This poem relates to the book because there were many times when Ruth was struggling financially and she had to face her problems on her own- Taiba https://padlet.com/jagrutigandhipatel/ndj7k7c3ooy910e8/wish/1988811360 2022-01-12 17:57:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jagrutigandhipatel/ndj7k7c3ooy910e8/wish/1988811360 During the entire book Ruth hid her secrets from James and suffered alone, but as the book nears the end, she finally opens up to James and they both become closer and happier. This directly correlates to this poem that states no one can make it out alone. - Jordon https://padlet.com/jagrutigandhipatel/ndj7k7c3ooy910e8/wish/1988815084 2022-01-12 17:59:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jagrutigandhipatel/ndj7k7c3ooy910e8/wish/1988815084 This poem implies that no matter your social status you can't make it alone in life and will always need some kind of help or guidance, which relates to Ruth because even though she seems like she only has herself she had support from people like Dennis. - Sarena https://padlet.com/jagrutigandhipatel/ndj7k7c3ooy910e8/wish/1988817229 2022-01-12 18:00:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jagrutigandhipatel/ndj7k7c3ooy910e8/wish/1988817229 This poem connects to the novel in many ways. Ruth comes from a family with money, but no one used that money to help her. She left her religious beliefs as a Jew, trying to find a new soul at home as a Christian. - Panthini https://padlet.com/jagrutigandhipatel/ndj7k7c3ooy910e8/wish/1988822233 2022-01-12 18:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jagrutigandhipatel/ndj7k7c3ooy910e8/wish/1988822233 muhammadprince https://padlet.com/jagrutigandhipatel/ndj7k7c3ooy910e8/wish/1988824980 As Ruthie pushes her family in Sufflok away she encounters many challenges of being a white women of Jewish faith married to a black man. The poem corelates to her strength that she endured during these challenging times, and her being able to survive because of the healthy relationships that she had developed e.g. with Dennis - Muhammad]]> 2022-01-12 18:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jagrutigandhipatel/ndj7k7c3ooy910e8/wish/1988824980 https://padlet.com/jagrutigandhipatel/ndj7k7c3ooy910e8/wish/1988826376 The meaning of this poetry is that in order for mankind to succeed, it must band together. Maya believes that humans becoming more self-reliant would have a negative impact on society in the long run. It is relevant to Ruth since, despite the fact that she appears to have just herself, she received assistance from Dennis. - kevin ]]> 2022-01-12 18:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jagrutigandhipatel/ndj7k7c3ooy910e8/wish/1988826376 The poem talks about millionaires which can relate to Ruth's sisters who are very wealthy but choose not to help Ruth out. "They've got expensive doctors to cure their hearts of stone." Ruth's sisters are being referenced to having hearts of stone. - Jordon https://padlet.com/jagrutigandhipatel/ndj7k7c3ooy910e8/wish/1988827746 2022-01-12 18:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jagrutigandhipatel/ndj7k7c3ooy910e8/wish/1988827746 https://padlet.com/jagrutigandhipatel/ndj7k7c3ooy910e8/wish/1988834171 Ruth always wanted to live a peaceful and happy life with her family.
