https://padlet.com/349938/rtsxojnu6myc A Memoir by Jeannette Walls en-us 2019-06-02 23:49:41 UTC 2024-07-24 20:25:32 UTC hello@padlet.com 349938 https://padlet.com/349938/rtsxojnu6myc/wish/365163307 "The next time they visited. Brian's head was wrapped in a dirty white bandage with dried blood stains. Mom said he had fallen off the back of the couch and cracked his head open on the floor, but she and Dad had decided not to take him to the hospital."

I chose this quote and this picture because it shows nonconformity in the best way possible. If something bad has happened to a family member or a close friend and they should seek immediate help. The picture also relates to this quote because my example shows that they are being different from the rest and doing their own thing. ]]> 2019-06-03 00:12:27 UTC https://padlet.com/349938/rtsxojnu6myc/wish/365163307 349938 https://padlet.com/349938/rtsxojnu6myc/wish/365164448 "You Should never hate anyone, even your worst enemies. Everyone has something good about them. You have to find the redeeming quality and love the person for that."

I chose this quote and this picture because these are examples I got by. the quote is showing that there is something good in everyone but we are blinded by the hate. I go by that in my everyday life. The picture represents that Everyone should love each other the same no matter what size. ]]> 2019-06-03 00:24:59 UTC https://padlet.com/349938/rtsxojnu6myc/wish/365164448 349938 https://padlet.com/349938/rtsxojnu6myc/wish/365167216 "Life's too short to care about what other people think. Besides, they should accept us for who we are."

I chose this quote and picture because they both represent what I think and what the story is based off of for being Self-Sufficient. This quote relates to the real world because it shows that we shouldn't just people and as long as we are happy who we are it doesn't matter. the picture represents self love and being okay with the way you are and the way you were made. Being self-sufficient and self confident is a big part of what makes a person who they are and how they act and I believe that some characters in the story still are trying to figure that out. ]]> 2019-06-03 00:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/349938/rtsxojnu6myc/wish/365167216 349938 https://padlet.com/349938/rtsxojnu6myc/wish/365168596 "Because we never subscribed to newspapers or magazines, I’d never known what was going on in the world, except for the skewed version of events we got from Mom and Dad—one in which every politician was a crook, every cop was a thug, and every criminal had been framed. I began to feel like I was getting the whole story for the first time, that I was being handed the missing pieces to the puzzle, and the world was making a little more sense."

I chose this quote and picture because it represents fantasy vs. reality the way that Jeanette sees it. this I showing that she had to paint a picture in her mind all this time exactly how the "outside world" really was. Once her dad had told her how it was it all started to come together for her. The picture is represented in this quote because its showing how you think something is vs how it really is, fantasy vs. reality. ]]> 2019-06-03 00:57:28 UTC https://padlet.com/349938/rtsxojnu6myc/wish/365168596 349938 https://padlet.com/349938/rtsxojnu6myc/wish/365169942 "I could not imagine what my life would be like without him in it. As awful as he could be,I always knew he loved me in a way no one else ever had."

I chose this quote and this picture showing that Jeanette was strong and always forgave her parents for what ever they were doing wrong. She could never hold a grudge on them. This quote shows that she forgave them and knew that they would always love her anyway, so there was really no point in being not forgiven. This picture shows forgiveness because its shows two people coming together to forgive each other. ]]> 2019-06-03 01:10:31 UTC https://padlet.com/349938/rtsxojnu6myc/wish/365169942 349938 https://padlet.com/349938/rtsxojnu6myc/wish/365171124 "I wondered if the fire had been out to get me. I wondered if all fire was related, like Dad said all humans were related, if the fire that burned me that day while I cooked hot dogs was somehow connected to the fire I had flushed down the toilet and the fire burning at the hotel. I didn’t have the answers to those questions, but what I did know was that I lived in a world that at any moment could erupt into fire. It was the sort of knowledge that kept you on your toes." 

I chose this quote and picture because it shows and different side of Chaos and Order than people would normally think of. This shows the chaos and order inside Jeanette's mind. She was thinking about all the hypotheticals and and had a realization of what she actually knew. Her mind was running wild and then all of a sudden she knew. The picture represents the quote because it shows that chaos and order go hand in hand, you can't have order without a little bit of chaos. ]]> 2019-06-03 01:20:10 UTC https://padlet.com/349938/rtsxojnu6myc/wish/365171124
