Is this story still relevant today? Explain your thoughts. fcastelino https://padlet.com/fcastelino/pjt7casmx5dkqt9n/wish/918103951 2020-11-12 19:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/fcastelino/pjt7casmx5dkqt9n/wish/918103951 1) Based on the text, how do you think the author would define a “good man?” fcastelino https://padlet.com/fcastelino/pjt7casmx5dkqt9n/wish/918107515 2020-11-12 19:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/fcastelino/pjt7casmx5dkqt9n/wish/918107515 1. based on the text the author would define a good man as the one of the misfits, someone who gives to others, pretty much every man that they would come across. kscooper https://padlet.com/fcastelino/pjt7casmx5dkqt9n/wish/931377159 2020-11-17 12:42:23 UTC https://padlet.com/fcastelino/pjt7casmx5dkqt9n/wish/931377159 5) The mother did not have much dialogue in the story so we had to pay attention to her words but at the end of the story when the misfit asked her and the children to step into the woods with his men she didn't try to run but said "yes, thank you." and went off. This is important because it shows her loyalty to her husband and family and how she literally couldn't live without him. resirbaugh https://padlet.com/fcastelino/pjt7casmx5dkqt9n/wish/931379407 2020-11-17 12:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/fcastelino/pjt7casmx5dkqt9n/wish/931379407 knwatson https://padlet.com/fcastelino/pjt7casmx5dkqt9n/wish/931389909 2020-11-17 12:46:50 UTC https://padlet.com/fcastelino/pjt7casmx5dkqt9n/wish/931389909 3. The grandmother is the main tool of foreshadowing in the story. For example, she dresses just in case she dies in an accident. She also has strength to confront the evil and the misfit. https://padlet.com/fcastelino/pjt7casmx5dkqt9n/wish/931391289 2020-11-17 12:47:16 UTC https://padlet.com/fcastelino/pjt7casmx5dkqt9n/wish/931391289 #4 https://padlet.com/fcastelino/pjt7casmx5dkqt9n/wish/931405178 The grandmother calling the MIsfit one of her own children is like her saying "oh even though you might have been or are a bad person, I still accept you." The impact this has on the scene is that the Misfit shooting her signifies that he feels he's better off without anyone else acceptance or validation.]]> 2020-11-17 12:51:58 UTC https://padlet.com/fcastelino/pjt7casmx5dkqt9n/wish/931405178
