“Oh Yeah?' I said. 'How about Hitler?What was his redeeming quality?'

'Hitler loved dogs,' Mom said without hesitation.”

Rex really thought he was doing the right thing. I chose this picture because it symbolizes that although something may look broken or ruined, that if you put effort and love into it you can fix it and make it beautiful again. ]]> 2019-10-11 15:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/350278/w81rfuajs0ow/wish/396750080 350278 https://padlet.com/350278/w81rfuajs0ow/wish/396751267 Jeannette was upset because she had been lectured by her parents for talking back to Erma after she takes bad about Jeanette's black friend. She felt betrayed by her parents and had the realization that her parents were exactly what they hated... hypocrites. This picture describes her growing up and becoming a beautiful young woman.    ]]> 2019-10-11 15:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/350278/w81rfuajs0ow/wish/396751267 Irony 350278 https://padlet.com/350278/w81rfuajs0ow/wish/396754748 "I am your mother, and I should have a say in how you're raised"

Rose Mary was upset because the nurse had given Jeannette chewing gum without her consent. This is ironic because Rose Mary was hardly a caregiver to Jeannette. The children were always on their own and getting by on their own so the fact that they needed to ask Rose Mary for permission is very ironic.]]> 2019-10-11 16:10:02 UTC https://padlet.com/350278/w81rfuajs0ow/wish/396765677 Child Neglect 350278 https://padlet.com/350278/w81rfuajs0ow/wish/396770311 "[Mom] said that sexual assault was a crime of perception"

In this picture it shows a little girl crying, maybe after an abusive episode. Although Jeannette was sexually abused she never really let it get to her and she proceeded with life.]]> 2019-10-11 16:23:49 UTC https://padlet.com/350278/w81rfuajs0ow/wish/396772223 Identity 350278 https://padlet.com/350278/w81rfuajs0ow/wish/396775651 Being a strong woman was harder than I had thought.

I chose this picture because she was trying to find herself throughout this period just like the man pulling at the fingerprint looking for answers. Jeannette soon realizes her father will never change and she slowly starts to loose trust in him.]]> 2019-10-11 16:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/350278/w81rfuajs0ow/wish/396777015 350278 https://padlet.com/350278/w81rfuajs0ow/wish/396779481 Rose Mary is selective of the things she lets slide. She was forgiving of Erma and Hitler but would completely judge the women from the green lantern continuously. I think Rose Mary suffered from bipolar disorder because she would switch attitudes really fast. I chose this picture because it shows two moods laying on top of each other as one and I believe Rose Mary really fought hard to keep herself together and strong.]]> 2019-10-11 16:38:54 UTC https://padlet.com/350278/w81rfuajs0ow/wish/396779481
