Blackburn Comp II Commonplace Book by Lindsey Blackburn

Story of an Hout

lindsey_blackbu — 2014-06-10 18:18:09 UTC

"When she abandoned herself a little whispered word

escaped her slightly parted lips. She said it over and

over under her breath: "free, free, free!""

When someone finds out their significant other has

died they should not be planning a new life within

minutes. The grieving process of losing a loved one

last a long time. If someone is saying they are finally

free they probably should not have been with them.

Girl

This story reminds me of a maid. She is always doing laundry or cleaning the house. She even cooks.

The Yellow Wallpaper

The wife is always writing in secret because her husband's thoughts are it makes her "illness" worse. She enjoyed writing and always wanted to write everything down.

Triffles

I feel as though the bird was the last straw for

Mrs. Wright. She felt lively with the bird around

and helped keep her sane.

A Doll's House

Nora and Torvald disagree on so much that at the end of the story it all comes out. Secrets are revealed and their marriage ends.

Let America be America Again

This poem talks about wanting to me free and wanting America to be the way it was suppose to be when it was built. I choose the America flag because I feel it best represents this poem.

Harlem (Dream Deferred)

"What happens to a dream deferred?"

This quote I feel best represents the poem

because it explains what the poem is

trying to explain.

Battle Royal

lindsey_blackbu — 2014-07-01 19:57:08 UTC

A fighting picture is a perfect fit for this story because of the blindfolded fight that goes on. The white men just stood around and watched as the black men beat each other.

Everyday Use

lindsey_blackbu — 2014-07-01 19:57:17 UTC

Quilts carry a great heritage if they are made by older family members. Quilts can be made by old dresses, uniforms, blankets or shirts that others have used or passed down.

The Lesson

lindsey_blackbu — 2014-07-01 19:57:40 UTC

A toy store reminds me of this story because they take a trip to see how expensive toys are. The children learn a lesson of how to not take things for granted.

The Things They Carried

It is hard to to imagine a solider in

this story. I picture a loaded down soldier carrying everything he can possibly pack on him. I also see a soldier carrying pictures of his loved one with him.
