Money could change a lot. It will change a lot. but It had not completely changed me . I slept well" In this paragraph she uses repetition of money " change a lot and will change a lot. These two sentences reveal that money can change your life at the same time or destroy your life and it connects to the perspective of the world we live in today because some people like to brag about themselves to say they're proud because money changed their situation they lived in or they can buy anything and here is why some people got hate and killed. In order word she speaks for good and bad about money]]> 2021-09-29 23:00:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mleveypabst/rgn2db4my31it652/wish/1779521906 "People say they want to be rich. I think what they really want is to be free. On the other hand, people who claim to be working for freedom will enslave themselves to money. It is all very strange." https://padlet.com/mleveypabst/rgn2db4my31it652/wish/1779682702 These few sentences really just show how controlling money is. It changes people unintentionally. She really tries to emphasize how money is so powerful in a sense, that people will "enslave themselves" to it. And it's true, celebrities have "sold their soul to the devil" as people say just for the money. ]]> 2021-09-30 00:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mleveypabst/rgn2db4my31it652/wish/1779682702 https://padlet.com/mleveypabst/rgn2db4my31it652/wish/1782801134 " I come from people where money is a private matter, even when business is conducted in public"  

this quote tell the reader how the author's family wouldn't like to talk about their money. And how it was a rule of life. ]]> 2021-10-01 00:35:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mleveypabst/rgn2db4my31it652/wish/1782801134 https://padlet.com/mleveypabst/rgn2db4my31it652/wish/1808428662 “I waited. My mother, who is infamously impatient and mean about it when she wants to be, waited. The cashier waited. The people in line behind us waited.”

The author uses repetition to build and emphasize the experience. The repetition builds on how her mom didn’t care and wanted to show that in her writing. ]]> 2021-10-11 18:03:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mleveypabst/rgn2db4my31it652/wish/1808428662 "We would load up into the car - first a Volkswagen Bug, then a teal-green Mercury, and, much later, a Mercedes - and go 'home'". https://padlet.com/mleveypabst/rgn2db4my31it652/wish/1828775970 Cottom uses this build up to really show us the readers her experience. And in this case the experience was in their wealth and how they started off from not the fanciest car to Germany's finest engineering.]]> 2021-10-20 00:17:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mleveypabst/rgn2db4my31it652/wish/1828775970 "Last year, for the first time, we talked about her weight in detail. When I asked if she was ever bullied, she recalled some guy calling her a "fat slob" as she biked past him years ago." https://padlet.com/mleveypabst/rgn2db4my31it652/wish/1882561474 Hobbs uses this personal anecdote, of a conversation he had with her mother about her weight in the past. This explains to us a real life situation that someone has had about getting bullied about their weight.]]> 2021-11-10 22:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mleveypabst/rgn2db4my31it652/wish/1882561474 https://padlet.com/mleveypabst/rgn2db4my31it652/wish/1889473989 “Well, whatever you're doing now,” the doctor said, “it's working.” He urged her to keep it up… “If you looked at anything other than my weight,” Enneking says now, “I had an eating disorder. And my doctor was congratulating me.”
This shows the contrast of how even the doctor treated her differently because of her weight. The symptoms she was showing was that of a eating disorder and the doctor didn’t see that because she wasn’t skinny and encouraged her to continue. ]]> 2021-11-14 17:27:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mleveypabst/rgn2db4my31it652/wish/1889473989 https://padlet.com/mleveypabst/rgn2db4my31it652/wish/1890319888 "As one of the (many) stigma researchers who responded to Callahan’s article pointed out, shaming smokers and drug users with D.A.R.E.-style “just say no” messages may have actually increased substance abuse by making addicts less likely to bring up their habit with their doctors and family members."
The author uses this comparison to help explain some of the issues with the stigma against fat people in a way that many people can relate to due to the D.A.R.E program in schools.]]> 2021-11-15 04:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mleveypabst/rgn2db4my31it652/wish/1890319888
