In my opinion, dealing with depression is hard, especially when you have to look back and see what started it all.]]> 2016-10-26 18:21:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133435966 nalyssa_an13 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133436444 When the narrator says"I can see a story developing behind her eyes" i think she means she knows when her mom has a story to tell. In lines 52-54 the text states"My mother takes my hand and looks away 
from the painting. I can see a story developing behind her eyes, and I 
tug on her arm to release the words. She will tell me why Picasso was 
blue, what his thoughts were as he painted this canvas." Therefore because of this I can infer that when her mom was telling the her the story about Picasso she started thinking about her old life and how she missed her old life.]]> 2016-10-26 18:22:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133436444 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133436937 when the narrator says "i can see a story developing behind her eyes"
she was meaning her blue period . the mothers blue period was when her mother had to leave her tribe and and move to the city to create a living, and she cutted her hair off. for example on lines 52-54 the texts says "my mother takes my hand and i look away from the painting".and how she misses her old life.]]> 2016-10-26 18:23:14 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133436937 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133437112 when the narrator says "i can see a story developing behind her eyes" she means that she can relate to how picasso  feels  how he was depressed and sad and was poor just like her when she left her tribe and cut off her hair. according to the text her mother looks away from the art by picasso because it was sad and she knows how it feels so she will tell her daughter her story not the ones she will find in books. because of this i know her mother is sad about cutting her hair and leaving to tribe.]]> 2016-10-26 18:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133437112 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133438170 When the author says " I can see the story developing behind her eyes", she means she knows how picasso felt during his blue period. ]]> 2016-10-26 18:26:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133438170 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133438195 When the narrator say "I can see a story developing behind her eyes" she is talking about his blue period So the mother " I tug my arm and release the words"]]> 2016-10-26 18:26:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133438195 nalyssa_an13 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133438901 2016-10-26 18:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133438901 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133438978 When the narrator says "I can see a story developing behind her eyes" she is talking about how her mother is thinking of  a story about Picasso and is about to tell her about his "blue period". I know this because she says " I 
tug on her arm to release the words. She will tell me why Picasso was blue, what his thoughts were as he painted this canvas. She relates anecdotes I will never find in books,". From this I can tell that her mother tells many story that might not be entirely true but the narrator believes every word her mom shares with her. I also can find out from the text that the mom has a small opinion on Picasso and his blue time because she says "My mother takes my hand and looks away from the painting.". Therefore I can realize that she might have also had a "blue period". In my opinion I think every one goes through a blue time. Just some people go through it longer or deal with it in a different way. ]]> 2016-10-26 18:27:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133438978 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133439769 What she means when she says, "I can see a story developing behind her eyes", is that she knows her mom is thinking about a story. In lines 58-59 the text states, "I don't even bother to check these references because I like my mother's version best." This explains that the mothers stories are only 'based' on a true story. The stories are more sugar coded and child safe, because they explain the story in a way that is still the same idea. In my opinion this tells me that when a child likes something, they can recognize it easily. For example if a child likes ice cream, when they hear an ice cream truck, they think of ice cream. The narrator loves her moms stories, and so when she sees the look in her eyes, she knows there is a story coming. ]]> 2016-10-26 18:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133439769 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133440085 On line 54 the narrator means when he says, "I can see a story developing behind her eyes" it means that she is going to tell her daughter a story about Picasso, in a way that she can understand. In lines 51-52 the text states, "I squint at the blue man holding a blue guitar. Was he very sad? I ask." This is showing that Picasso is sad because when you say someone is blue it is a metaphor meaning that they are very sad. Also in lines 54-55 the text also starts, "I can see a story developing behind her eyes, and I tug on her arm to release the words." This shows that her mother is trying to think of a story to tell her, to make it appropriate for her daughter but then her daughter tugs on her arm to tell her mother to tell her the story. I can infer that since her mother has to think about a story to tell her daughter that she is thinking of an appropriate  story to tell her, and make a story that her daughter would enjoy. I can also say that since she is going back and thinking, it means that she might be having a flash back or is thinking about her own self when she left Dakota.]]> 2016-10-26 18:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133440085 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133440191  What narrator means whens she says, "I can see a story developing behind her eyes" is that her mother could imagine the story and picture every moment of how her mom was going through what Picasso was going through; the sad period. Also, how her mother is telling the story in a different way. On line 55-58 the texts states,"She will tell me why Picasso was blue, what his thoughts were as he painted this canvas. She relates anecdotes I will never find in books, never see footnoted in a biography of the master artist." From the text i can infer that the narrator's mother is also going through a blue period. She feels away from home and not like her-self anymore. "She relates anecdotes, that i will never in books" What this means is her mother relates things the happened to Picasso to her on life, but her mom cant tell the true story. She has to improvise the story so her the narrator will understand why people get sad. In my opinion, I believe that the narrator 's mother did the right thing about how to tell the narrator a life lesson on sadness.

I ask.  Yes, I think he was.” My mother takes my hand and looks away".  Just by hearing this you can tell the mothers sadness.  From the text, I can infer that the mother tells very good story's the way the author explains them is because of the fact that her mother can relate to the story of Picasso.  Her background found in the beginning of the story justifies this.  My opinion of this is that,  it would be very hard to go through the phase of immigration would be very difficult and hard to adjust to the new life.  I feel very bad for her.]]> 2016-10-26 18:31:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133440839 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133441085 what she means when she says i can see a story developing behind her eyes is, that she knows her mom can relate to  the blue times so she is relating in a story of her life as it happened like her cutting off her braid because she had to leave her family and move to Chicago.  on line 24 -25 of the text it states  "She left Standing Rock to take a job in Chicago so she could help out the family during the war."  because of this i can infer she didn't want to leave and that's why she can relate to Picasso.  In my opinion the story is a good story of how it is hard to be a Indian, and how a change that major can change a persons life a lot it can be hard for people make that kind of change  ]]> 2016-10-26 18:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133441085 https://padlet.com/cjelderks/ozrpiwnc8vhn/wish/133441158 When the narrator say's on line 54 "I can see a story developing behind her eyes" she means that she knows what her mother  has been through just by looking at her eyes . She then asks her mother what she's thinking as the text states here on line 55", I 
tug on her arm to release the words." By this I can tell that the narrator is  curious and probably asks a lot of question. I can now reason that the mom has a flashback to her life in the Dakotas. In my opinion when the narrator says "I can see a story developing behind her eyes" the narrator means that her mom has lots of stories to tell, some sad and some happy.

On line, 4-5 of the text, it states that, " ... I tug on her on her arm to release the words. She will tell me why Picasso was blue, what his thoughts were as he painted this canvas." The narrator also states that she likes her mother's version better than other stories than others being told. Within the reading I found that the narrator mother some days they haunt the Art Institute and her mother pauses before a Picasso. The narrator also states that her mother said it was his "blue period." In my opinion, I would say that the narrator likes her mother's version because, I feel that she wants to know what her mother's thought it about it or what she understands. I also feel that the narrator wants to think and be like her mother when she's older.When the narrator said that she can see a story developing behind her eyes, she is telling that her mother is thinking, or maybe because her mother has had a past like this and know how how it feels.
