Window: living in a home that's not safe and not caring, and not getting the privileges that other families have, which is really different for me because I'm very lucky to have a loving home (Rowell 16-19, 27, 48-49). ]]> 2018-10-11 13:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/291699549 646sam14 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/291699750 One of the mirror moments  I saw was on page 188 when park was talking about the family traditions he had around Christmas time. This was a mirror moment for me because I have a lot of the same Christmas  traditions. 

A window moment for me was on page 185 when Richie gave his family the presents he bought them. This was a window moment for me because it was so different from what most families get on Christmas. ]]> 2018-10-11 13:12:56 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/291699750 358nr16 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/291700082 A mirror moment for me was basically just parks family life especially having a strict mom but she is also fun too. She is very over protective to like on pg 144 his mom talks about not hanging out with bad people who live in a certain neighborhood for example.
A window moment for me was seeing Eleanor family life especially her being in a dangerous situation to the point of having to leave town.

I find this small moment to be my window since I have met people with similar interest. I think its beautiful how you can make friends by the smallest things. (pg. 56)

Window: Eleanor's whole life and how she grew up is a big window moment for me. Since I have not been exposed to people with similar situations as Eleanor. Sometimes we judge how people look unbeknownst of their situation. (pg. 146)]]> 2018-10-11 14:59:26 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/291769663 335msm28 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/291770579 Mirror: A mirror moment I experienced throughout the book was having an average family such as Park. I can especially relate to the fact of a judgmental mother and a father that is "macho." (Rowell 142 240)
Window: A window moment I had was seeing the impact of a broken family and a dangerous home on a person. Eleanor was always very touchy and scared of talking about her family, even when she began to trust park. (Rowell 108 148)]]> 2018-10-11 15:00:50 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/291770579 883ecw23 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/291771120 Mirror: My mirror moment was seeing Eleanor feel kind of comfortable being unique and weird. Others gave her looks for her interesting features she chose, and that is something I admire and strive for. (Rowell 9)

Window: My window moment was Parks mom. His mom is very different in how she raises her children, and that was just very interesting to see. (Rowell 25)

When Eleanor realized that her environment was extremely toxic, she knew that she needed to leave immediately. Park, knowing about her situation, left with her immediately without thinking about the consequences. While reading this, I saw myself doing the same for those I care about. (Rowell 290)

Window: Most of the book was a window to me, but most specifically, Eleanor's home life. I've never been exposed to her situation but the book painted a picture of just how dangerous an abuse household is. (Rowell 278)]]> 2018-10-11 15:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/291808624 892erh19 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/291809444 Window:A window moment that I noticed was how hard Eleanor's family life which unfortunately, a lot of people experience.]]> 2018-10-11 15:56:51 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/291809444 258pdd27 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/291809655 Mirror: The whole anti-social part of both Eleanor and Park, I don't like very much interaction either. (Pink 24)]]> 2018-10-11 15:57:11 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/291809655 829jbk29 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/291811850 Mirror: when the book introduces us to Park. Rowell says he's Korean (like me), takes honors classes, likes music (I preferably have a different taste), Park does Taekwondo, and he seems to always help the one he cares most for  (Rowell 1,25,21)

Window: I have never been in a relationship before and every time I try to make a move, I fail miserably (71). I have also never tried to help a run away friend who has an abusive stepfather (Rowell 295). Much of these things are far out the window for me.

I am not used to abuse because I live in a very loving house. I have never experienced being treated the way Eleanor did (Rowell 52).

Mirror
A mirror for me in Eleanor and Park was when Park wore makeup for the first time. When he wore makeup for the first time his dad did not approve. The first time I wore makeup my dad and brothers did not like it (Rowell 217).]]> 2018-10-14 17:52:38 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/292566848 871jcc01 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/292589305 Mirror: I see a resemblance in the home life Park lives with my home life. His parents are very lovable, fun and care about him (Rowell 164, 173).

Window: I have never been exposed to a home life that is abusive or where I have felt unsafe (Rowell 52).

]]> 2018-10-14 20:28:24 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/292589305 584tcb19 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/292599393 Mirror: When Eleanor and Park started to form a relationship over a common interest was definitely a mirror for me. I met my first friend in grade school by talking with them about something we both liked (Rowell 41).

Window: A window moment for me would be Eleanor's home and how she feels unsafe. I haven't ever experienced anything close to that, i'm very thankful for that (Rowell 48, 49).]]> 2018-10-14 21:36:04 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/292599393 694ael14 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/292622158 2018-10-15 00:48:20 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/292622158 824kmb29 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/292629257 Mirror: My mirror moment was when Eleanor received a necklace from park because she felt bad that she received such a nice gift which connects to me feeling bad when friends or family get me nice gifts (Rowell 200).

Window: Ive never experienced being abused in a home or being treated the way Eleanor did (Rowell 52).]]> 2018-10-15 01:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/292629257 850aka15 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293105679 Mirror: Eleanor said she was running out of time with park (Rowell 229). And i saw myself in that moment because I always feel like im going to run out of time with people because you never know what's going to happen next in life.

Window: When we saw how she was living at home. I cant imagine living like that because ive always had a loving and caring home. (Rowell 48-49)]]> 2018-10-15 23:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293105679 074rcr03 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293631249 Mirror: I relate to how Eleanor has a special bond with her siblings. They’re able to make the most of tough situations and enjoy each others company. (For the most part) Although I don’t share a room with them, I have 3 sibilings that I am very close with. They help me out when I’m not feeling great like Eleanor’s do. (Rowell 116) 

Window: I am unable to relate to Eleanor’s Home life, and her relationship with her stepfather. I have never had an abusive relationship with anyone in my life which I am thankful for. It is hard for me to imagine feeling unsafe in my own home, and being worried for my sibilings and I. (Rowell 52)]]> 2018-10-16 23:10:34 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293631249 045peh26 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293658319 Mirror: I relate to how Elenor by how she is with her siblings. Elenor and them fight, argue, and get along all at the same time. I have 3 siblings and all we do is go through fighting, arguing, and then we get along when we don't have anything else to do. Elenor was also really close with her siblings even though, they also had to go through those same phases. (Rowell 147-146)   

Window: I could never imagine living in Elenor's home life. Her stepfather is just horrible to think about, like who would write those horrible comments on their step daughter's textbooks. Im just so thankful that I have a great dad and that I am living in such a loving home. (Rowell 191-192) ]]> 2018-10-17 01:36:38 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293658319 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293661815 2018-10-17 01:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293661815 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293661985 Window moment: When Eleanor was hiding from Richie at the end of the book (pgs 210-215). I could never imagine something like that happening in my life and it wasn't heart wrenching to read about.

Mirror moment: When Parks's dad refuses to let him get his license (pgs 40-45), the same kind of strictness is applied to me when ever I talk about driving with him. I see the frustration.]]> 2018-10-17 01:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293661985 537vhc12 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293785076 Mirror:
I think that one of the greatest mirror moments for me was when Eleanor was saying goodbye to Park after he had dropped her off at her Uncle’s house. Their connection was so strong that she didn’t want to say goodbye to him. I had that same moment with many of my friends who have had to move to different states or countries. I especially like how she stayed “you think that holding someone hard will bring them closer” that stuck with me, whenever anyone leaves usually hugging is what you do but it never really helps with the process (Rowell 311).
Window:
I think one of the greatest windows for me was Eleanor’s ability to understand her situation financially, yet still be able to be somewhat comfortable and feel well being herself, no matter what others may have said about her. (Rowell 9]]> 2018-10-17 12:03:21 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293785076 821kah21 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293848800 Window: On page 238 when the girls soaked Eleanor's cloths in water; I have never been through that and even though she is just a book character I still felt so bad for her!
Mirror: On page 340, when Eleanor was really embarrassed she didn't want to see Park. I felt that with my neighbor, because when I was 10 I was playing outside with my sister and her friend and I ripped my pants. ]]> 2018-10-17 13:53:27 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293848800 694ael14 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293873395 In the book Parks dad really wants him to drive a stick. My mom really wants me to drive stick and I just can’t figure it out. (Rowell 77-79)

Windows: Gender rolls 
Throughout the book you can tell Eleanor and Park don’t confine to the specific gender rolls of the 1980s. They don’t dress or act like what a male or female should; according to the norms. I don’t think I have ever not acted or dressed like what a female of my generation should.

]]> 2018-10-17 14:27:48 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293873395 694ael14 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293889044 In the book, Park’s dad wants him to drive stick and refuses to let him drive anything else (Rowell 77-79) ]]> 2018-10-17 14:50:07 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293889044 249acg14 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293983461 Mirror: My mirror moment is when Park helped Eleanor leave town when she was in trouble, even thought the circumstances were not ideal (Rowell 295). I would also help my friends if they needed help, and I know my friends would also do the same for me.  

Window: Eleanor’s family has a lot of problems, like her biological dad does not like her, and her step dad is abusive to her, her siblings, and her mom (Rowell 278). I have never had to deal with something like this, so it gave me a different perspective on how someone in that situation feels, and what they experience. ]]> 2018-10-17 17:09:28 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/293983461 694ael14 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/294020477 Mirror: Driving stick
Parks dad wants him to drive stick and only stick, he refuses to let him drive anything else, but Park just isn’t getting the hang of it (Rowell 77-79). I relate to this because my parents will only get me a stickshift  even though I don’t know how to drive it. 

Windows: Gender roles 
Eleanor and Park often reverse what might be considered to be traditional gender roles in the 1980s. Park frequently tells Eleanor that he loves her. Eleanor is physically larger than Park, Eleanor wears men clothing. Park is more emotional and even wears eye makeup. I don’t think I have ever acted or dressed out side of the female norm for my generation

They are normal and occasionally have fights, but always end up happy in the end. Unlike Eleanor's family, where all the kids, and her mom,  are trying to survive.

Windows: I definitely now understand what it is like to be in an abusive relationship because of Eleanor's family. They have to rely on a drunk and mean father to supply all of their needs, when he hates most of the children. Eleanor's experiences also made me understand why some people don't ask for help if they are in an abusive relationship, because, in Eleanors case, they are scared for their lives.]]> 2018-10-18 02:18:53 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/294164161 654srf16 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/294165548 Mirror: I definitely see myself in Eleanor when she talks about all of her insecurities. Whenever she talks about feeling fat, or whenever she feels as if Park doesn't love her, I relate to her. I always feel self conscious about my appearance and my personality and question why I have friends and whether they actually like me or not (Pages 125-127).

Windows: Like many of these other posts, I now understand what it is like to be in a truly unstable, unsafe household and how fortunate this book makes you feel. I can't imagine having a (step) "father figure" as horrible as Richie- especially when we find out that he is the one that had writing in Eleanor's textbooks the whole time (278-283)

He make's Eleanor's family's lives miserable.]]> 2018-10-18 02:28:23 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/294165548 475ham18 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/294181918 Mirror: A reflection I have in the book is through Eleanor being the new girl at the school and not knowing anyone, which I have expirenced. I was able to connect with her emotions of being nervous and anxious. She also expirences loneliness from leaving her friends at her old school (Rowel 16).

Window: A window moment for myself was the treatment she has expirenced from Richie. He abuses her verbally by writing on her books but also destroying her belongings (Rowel 278). I have personally not expirenced her situation which gave me realization that not all children are fortunate to have two loving and caring parents.]]> 2018-10-18 04:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/294181918 086lmj03 https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/296901296 mirror: when Tina kind of takes in Eleanor when her stepfather is trying to find her, it kind of shows how even the worst people can have a moment where they're kind, which you see a lot in school (rowell 285)

window: when Park sends Eleanor all of the letters while she's living with her uncle, she never opens them, and if i was in her situation i probably would have opened the letters. (rowell 319)]]> 2018-10-25 12:53:38 UTC https://padlet.com/apowersonw1/t8d2levp5bn2/wish/296901296
