The inference is drawn that Mrs. Wright could have once been compared to the beauty, happiness, and song found in that of the canary. The joy of memory found in the canary by Mrs. Wright played out in vengeance upon Mr. Wright in the same manner the canary was taken, and likely with the undertones of her own stolen happiness.]]> 2017-01-15 04:31:05 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/147215249 lauren_harshfield https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/147215651 The never ending rant reminds me of a controlling mother mixing random advice laced with a constant obsessive warning to avoid becoming a slut. Although the motivation may be pure, the message leaves no room for independent thought to the receiver. It reminded me of the submissive babbling of Adam Sandler to his mother's controlling commands on Waterboy.]]> 2017-01-15 04:54:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/147215651 lauren_harshfield https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/147215939 This was a sad tale of a young woman with a heart condition that transcended the physical ailment. Although the story acknowledges some degree of love for her husband, the premise of freedom to live her life unbridled was far greater. Enduring a lifetime submitted to the husband she thought she had been freed of, ultimately stole her resolve to live and she succumbed willingly to her disease.]]> 2017-01-15 05:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/147215939 lauren_harshfield https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/148616808 Interesting that Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters note the half emptied bag of sugar as though Mrs. Wright stopped in the middle of a mindless task. It must have been the moment Mr. Wright broke the canary's neck. And yet...she must not have reacted quickly in anger; rather seemingly waited quietly for the moment he was sleeping and vulnerable to pay back the cruel act with the very same action. Sweet revenge.]]> 2017-01-23 04:11:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/148616808 lauren_harshfield https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/148617253 The young mother was left alone with nothing but the yellow wallpaper for too long. An overactive, depressed mind began to see a woman behind the wallpaper, then many women, and finally...herself. In a final break, she attempted to reconcile the world in her mind with the reality.]]> 2017-01-23 04:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/148617253 lauren_harshfield https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/153625019 The Founding Fathers did not understand the concept of reading the fine print. Liberty and justice for all had no limitations and exclusions by design. Freedom belongs to all. ]]> 2017-02-14 05:15:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/153625019 lauren_harshfield https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/153625484 Dreams should be nurtured. They come from deep within us.

A dark time in history. An apathy that still manifests today in the Bystander effect, still inexcusable.]]> 2017-02-19 06:17:45 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/154775419 lauren_harshfield https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/154775814 Humanity succeeds as a whole when everyone has the opportunity to excel. But everyone must participate and use the strengths they have been given. It is our duty to humanity to contribute. ]]> 2017-02-19 06:35:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/154775814 lauren_harshfield https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/154861861 Sometimes people become so consumed with the assumption of racism, that they see nothing else. Our country has suffered enough from racism and the misconceptions of racism. Something as innocent as Girl Scout Brownies...where a sisterhood is formed to empower young girls and color is not considered. ]]> 2017-02-20 05:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/154861861 lauren_harshfield https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/154863237 People show love in many ways. Handmade heirloom quilts show a labor of love that can be passed for generations.

Journal Entry-Stevie Nicks, one of the greatest poets and songwriters. ]]> 2017-03-22 04:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/161707666 lauren_harshfield https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/164078002 It is unfathomable to be drafted involuntarily to serve in hellish conditions, witness death and atrocities, only to return home to be spat upon for doing a job you were forced to do. Patriotism calls for great courage, and is deserving of honor and respect. May America learn from the past better directions in the future.]]> 2017-04-01 00:30:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lauren_harshfield/phxogdkx7zja/wish/164078002
