Its when you loose your innocence you can almost say that your almost grown up an that you have that maturity level now that you can be an adult. ]]> 2019-05-14 13:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359877367 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359877406 Jenny is a girl coming through the rye with innocence but walking out with none. This poem is about how fast ones self loses innocence. I feel like the girl coming through the rye was struggling to figure out if she actual wanted to have sex with this man. She starts off going through the rye sad without an extra layer to her dress. She's running through the rye with just her petticoat on and this could be symbolic of how much innocence she has left. (only a little). The last line in poem states "need the world to know" which I feel like goes back to her not knowing if she wants to have sex yet. She doesn't want anyone to know because of society and she's afraid of it. The main point to this poem is the loss of innocence and the gaining of maturity. I feel like that whats happening is consensual but also the girl is very worried and maybe even frightened. One of the lines in the poem said "need a body cry". So is Jenny crying after all of this has happened because of the innocence that she has lost? ]]> 2019-05-14 13:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359877406 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359877506 "Coming Thro' the Rye" begins with a girl marching through the rye field dragging her heavy petticoat wet from the unforgiving rain. The poem states that she is seldom dry and is experienced in letting her sexual desires to run free therefore having lost her innocence. The narrator hides behind the swaying rye and peaks at the girl as her dripping petticoat clings to her body. He feels a sense of frustration rise in him. he wants to experience what it is like to feel his innocence leave him. Robert Burns hides a deeper meaning behind the children's nursery rhyme of the ambition to leave childhood and fall into the dangerous world of becoming an adult. ]]> 2019-05-14 13:04:30 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359877506 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359877698 I think the poem is about a man watching a girl running through a field. The girl, Jenny, is wet from the heavy rain. She is dragging her petticoat through the rye. The man has a physical attraction to her. Jenny only has a petticoat on, so she is missing a layer of her dress. I believe that the man watching her and Jenny did a little something. I interpreted the line, " If a body kiss a body" as the man being in awe over Jenny and wondering if he should meet or kiss her. This expresses a sexual attraction. ]]> 2019-05-14 13:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359877698 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359877796 It took me awhile to understand what this poem was truly about. After reading it through multiple times I believe this poem is relates to a more sexual meaning. I am still not sure if this poem is relating to non consensual relations or consensual relations. I am leaning towards the side of somebody having non consensual relations with Jenny. In the poem it says that Jenny is running through the rye wet and in her petticoat which shows that she is missing layers of her clothing. Also in the first line of the poem its describes Jenny as a wet poor body which could also reference someone having non consensual relations with her from Jenny being a wet poor body.]]> 2019-05-14 13:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359877796 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359877908 I believe that the poem is questioning the relationships of people in general. The part of the poem that has to do with the actual relationship is simply asking questions about the relationship. It can also be questioning the nature of the relationship that is happening because it doesn't seem as though its actually consensual. 
Another idea that I had is that its talking about life. At the start of the poem Jenny seems pretty miserable as she's going through the rye. At the end of the poem, she doesn't seem as sad as at the start and she is in the glen. The rye could represent the bad part of life nd the glen represents a good part.]]> 2019-05-14 13:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359877908 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359878037 So this is the first time I have read this poem and pretty much a girl named Jenny was running through the rye in nothing but her undergarments and it is unknown what events happened before this but people speculate that this poem is about Jenny being a victim of rape and running away from her rapist. However, through this poem I see Jenny's feelings as mixed and on the fence and all around confused. I see this poem in a different way I think that she was intimate with someone and afterwards she is having mixed feelings. I think she is feeling regret and confusion. I think that the intimate action might've even been so much as a kiss. There are so many possibilities of what it could be there really is not telling....]]> 2019-05-14 13:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359878037 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359878093 Jenny is a girl going through life or taking a journey through the rye. She starts off wet or sad and experiences hardships as she's dragging her petticoat through the rye. Then she meets someone and falls in love/kisses? Then she comes through the glen, a larger valley or life, and if she falls in love the world doesn't necessarily have to know. There's symbolism of the rye being a journey through life and her petticoat being her struggles. Also her being wet could be sadness and as she goes along through the rye she forgets about the water, and expereinces the joys of life.]]> 2019-05-14 13:05:37 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359878093 harryox2003 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359878231 I believe Robert burns's "Comin thro' the rye" is about a girl named Jenny that is on the path of life. On her path of life she is young and loves a boy, she is growing up faster than most with many choices that have led to sex along the way. As she gets older she sheds her clothes. Symbolising losing innocence and growing up in life. As her petticoat is wet she sheds it off and exposes more of herself to the world, and what life has to offer. ]]> 2019-05-14 13:05:58 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359878231 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359878247 This poem is about a girl who has just lost her innocence. Jenny meets somebody in the rye and doesn't know how she should feel now and what emotions are going through her. She feelings like she shouldn't want to cry but she does. She is dragging her petticoat and leaving her childhood and innocence behind her but with that she is still very confused maybe about if she is really in love or not. There is an attraction but it seems very causal. ]]> 2019-05-14 13:06:00 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359878247 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359878264 I read this poem as a woman struggling with her choice to to have casual sex with a man who had lusted after her as he watched her work in the rye fields. She struggled mostly because of the time she was in, she's been immersed in a Puritan society all her her life, making casual sex unholy. However, two stories can be drawn from this poem. Jenny is wearing only her, likely white petticoat, dragging it along through the rye, soiling it, stripping its cleanliness. When I read this I even felt a sense of urgency. Towards the end of the poem the line "need the world know" combined with the few lines about dragging her petticoat, insinuates that something dark happened. She questions, if the world needs to know that she was raped, if she needs to cry about it, or move on. The poem has an extreme spectrum of meaning. Is the poem about a woman navigating her sexuality, or is it perhaps about a rape victim dealing with an internal battle.]]> 2019-05-14 13:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359878264 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359878653 How I interpreted the poem was it was about a male viewer that has a physical attraction but it isn't as scandalous as other interpretations. I viewed the poem as a woman named Jenny who worked in the fields that has been though tragedy, that we cannot directly determine, before in the past "being a poor body." The rain is a symbol of tragedy. Also we know that the male viewer has a physical attraction towards the woman because he sees her figure in the rain. Additionally, the last two stanzas ask questions on if he should meet the girl or kiss her but it is not fulfilled. I believe that this is way of saying that the male viewer watches her wants to have a relationship with this girl but is too cowardly to engage.  ]]> 2019-05-14 13:06:51 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359878653 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359879657 I think this poem is about a girl named Jenny who has sex with a guy and loses her innocence as she was coming through the rye. Jenny questions whether it was a good choice to have sex with the man. This symbolizes losing innocence and maturity. She grows up from the experience she had.]]> 2019-05-14 13:08:50 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359879657 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359879780 The poem "Coming Thro' the Rye", in my opinion, is about a girl that meets a guy and has consensual sex with another man and loses her "innocence" while 'coming through the rye'. Jenny is the character who is coming through the rye, and is no longer 'dry' in her innocence', but instead is wet with the promise of a new path on her journey, and quite probably a new relationship with someone else. My interpretation of this experience is that Jenny meets a stranger, who falls in love with her body because she is very attractive, and eventually has relations with her. Jenny then talks about how Jenny is questioning whether or not sex should be so casual, and whether it should be as intense as her experience with the stranger was.  ]]> 2019-05-14 13:09:06 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359879780 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359882445 I believe that this poem is about losing ones innocence. I think that Jenny is finally becoming an adult and losing her innocence and the author seems to dee bad for her: “comin thro’ the rye, poor body”. This is also sexual in ways and it’s asking the questions, should a body kiss a body? Should the world know? I believe things were going on with Jenny that the world didn’t know about and I think some things were going on behind the scenes. It seems like she’s questioning whether or not this is right to do because there are questions integrated throughout the poem and I think that’s a way to show Jenny’s thoughts and get into her mind ]]> 2019-05-14 13:14:18 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359882445 cameron_tedrow https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359883169 Mine deleted :(
 I believed this was a product of consensual sex with possible regret or guilty feelings. Jenny feels as if the casualness of what had happened was not right. She begins as an innocent girl in the rye and meets a stranger. ]]> 2019-05-14 13:15:37 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359883169 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359883256 I believe this poem is about a girl named jenny. She’s in a field and it’s raining. There’s a man watching her, he can see everything through her wet dress. He’s very attracted to her, he keeps looking at her and his attraction grows. He doesn’t care what he does to her, no one will know what he does, there’s nobody watching or anywhere near him. He can do whatever he wants to this woman and there won’t be any consequences. This poem is about a girl named Jenny who gets raped, this man doesn’t care about what she wants he only wants her and he thinks since there’s no one around he can do whatever he wants to her. Jenny loses her innocence unwillingly, it is taken from her without her consent and that scars her. This man doesn’t care, in the poem it says “Need the work know” meaning no one needs to know, she won’t tell anyone, she’s too afraid. ]]> 2019-05-14 13:15:47 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359883256 bennettem02 https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359883891 Coming Thro’ the Rye is a poem about an innocent girl named Jenny. The poem describes how Jenny loses her innocence. The way that she loses her innocence in my eyes is sex. I interpreted it as her losing her virginity and thus losing her innocence. Sex is usually considered to be a mature concept and to have what I think is a teenager do it shows maturity and that loss of innocence. There is also the concept of rape that comes into play. The forceful taking of her innocence could be a concept. The line, “Need a body cry?” makes me start to question whether the sex was consensual or not. If the story is talking about rape, then this portrays the forceful loss of innocence.]]> 2019-05-14 13:17:06 UTC https://padlet.com/vannahscarborough/spn6d2cipxc2/wish/359883891
