My exquisite padlet by Charlotte https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha Made with the help of a typing monkey en-us 2016-06-11 23:29:08 UTC 2023-06-07 02:13:15 UTC hello@padlet.com "Girl" by Jamaica Kincaid makes me think of a woman who is trying to keep her family out of the rough. She tries her hardest to keep her life impeccable. She is the Psalms 31 woman. I chose this image because it shows a mother doing her daughter's hair while her daughter is showing no signs of wanting her hair done. This shows the characters of both of the ladies in the story. charlotte_gregory1 https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/114395722 2016-06-11 23:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/114395722 "Trifles" reminded me of "Arsenic and Old Lace," which is also a play (and movie). I think it reminds me of it because they're both old murder mysteries. charlotte_gregory1 https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/114395792 2016-06-11 23:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/114395792 "Story of an Hour" had a lot of imagery. I especially cared for the description of nature outside her window. charlotte_gregory1 https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/114395840 2016-06-11 23:43:13 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/114395840 "The Yellow Wallpaper" is about a woman's escalation into her own insanity. I chose this photo because it shows the exact setting the reader imagines in their mind while reading.  charlotte_gregory1 https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/114674417 2016-06-15 02:41:04 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/114674417 "A Jury of Her Peers" is about the murder investigation of John Wright. The author often talks about how poor the kitchen in their house looks.  charlotte_gregory1 https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/114674555 2016-06-15 02:44:02 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/114674555 "The Lesson" takes place in Harlem. Miss Moore takes the kids from the block on a trip to an expensive toy store. These kids did not know money could be spend so frivolously. The lesson they learned was that life is not always equal. In Sugar's words,"Equal chance to pursue happiness means an equal crack at the dough, don't it?" charlotte_gregory1 https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/116016107 This is a picture of kids from the 1970s in Harlem. This is similar to the financial situation of the kids in "The Lesson."]]> 2016-07-06 17:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/116016107 "Everyday Use" was a great lesson that had a impact on me. I've never considered heritage in the way this book portrays it. It shows it living on through people, not just for display to remember old customs.  charlotte_gregory1 https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/116017037 This is the house I imagined while reading this story. ]]> 2016-07-06 17:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/116017037 "Brownies"  charlotte_gregory1 https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/116017465 It's sad to see the anger in young girls who feel different because of their skin color. However, they were prepared to fight back against the prejudice.

I chose this picture I chose this picture because it shows the man can be winded up so that he can carry out what he is supposed to do, and that he does not truly choose his movements himself. This is like Willy. charlotte_gregory1 https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/116142720 2016-07-09 15:47:41 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/116142720 "The Negro Speaks of Rivers' had a message that he (his people) have been around forever. He said he knows of ancient rivers, so I chose the oldest river in the world, which is the Finke river.  charlotte_gregory1 https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/116142945 2016-07-09 16:02:06 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/116142945 "Negro" was very powerful, and showed that African Americans have been and remain to be far more than just slaves. He is proud of his people, and of his Africa. He said "Under my hands the pyramids arose." Here are the slaves working hard to make a pyramid.  charlotte_gregory1 https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/116143005 2016-07-09 16:05:42 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/116143005 "Battle Royal" was definitely a battle in itself. He faced so many problems even though he tried to do everything right.  charlotte_gregory1 https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/116143097 He never gave up, and in the end he got to make his speech.]]> 2016-07-09 16:12:15 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/116143097 "The Things They Carried" had an interesting point of view that showed its readers a different take on the Vietnam War.  charlotte_gregory1 https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/116648982 This photo shows soldiers facing one of the many hard tasks they have to deal with daily- wading through water with lots of weight on their shoulders. ]]> 2016-07-19 22:36:12 UTC https://padlet.com/charlotte_gregory1/ppjq69mbhsha/wish/116648982
