Ruth could be symbolized as a stamp aspagnolia08 https://padlet.com/aspagnolia08/whnks6gz2zw7/wish/319212055 2019-01-10 13:32:13 UTC https://padlet.com/aspagnolia08/whnks6gz2zw7/wish/319212055 4b. Why does a stamp symbolize Ruth? aspagnolia08 https://padlet.com/aspagnolia08/whnks6gz2zw7/wish/319740118 I think a stamp symbolizes Ruth because when she says something she means it. The color of the stamp (red) could also show how she stands out since red is a very vibrant color. she is very serious and down to earth. ]]> 2019-01-11 16:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/aspagnolia08/whnks6gz2zw7/wish/319740118 5a. poem aspagnolia08 https://padlet.com/aspagnolia08/whnks6gz2zw7/wish/319743449 I've got the children to tend
The clothes to mend
The floor to mop
The food to shop
Then the chicken to fry
The baby to dry
I got company to feed
The garden to weed
I've got shirts to press
The tots to dress
The can to be cut
I gotta clean up this hut]]> 2019-01-11 16:25:09 UTC https://padlet.com/aspagnolia08/whnks6gz2zw7/wish/319743449 5b. How my poem describes Ruth. aspagnolia08 https://padlet.com/aspagnolia08/whnks6gz2zw7/wish/320408260 This poem describes Ruth because it shows that this person cares. Ruth would do anything for anyone she cared about especially her family. The poem has a line that says "I've got children to tend" , " i gotta clean up this hut". These two lines really explain Ruth because she really cares about her kid and also in the book she said a few times that she was cleaning and she also said herself that she wanted to go somewhere cleaner and nicer. ]]> 2019-01-14 17:17:27 UTC https://padlet.com/aspagnolia08/whnks6gz2zw7/wish/320408260 6. Song relating to Ruth, Breathin by Ariana Grande. aspagnolia08 https://padlet.com/aspagnolia08/whnks6gz2zw7/wish/320412445 Some days, things just take way too much of my energy
I look up and the whole room's spinning
You take my cares away
I can so overcomplicate, people tell me to medicate
Feel my blood runnin', swear the sky's fallin'
How do I know if this shit's fabricated?
Time goes by and I can't control my mind
Don't know what else to try, but you tell me every time
Just keep breathin' and breathin' and breathin' and breathin'
And oh, I gotta keep, keep on breathin'
Just keep breathin' and breathin' and breathin' and breathin'
And oh, I gotta keep, keep on breathin'
Sometimes it's hard to find, find my way up into the clouds
Tune it out, they can be so loud
You remind me of a time when things weren't so complicated
All I need is to see your face
Feel my blood runnin', swear the sky's fallin'
How do I know if this shit's fabricated, oh?
Time goes by and I can't control my mind
Don't know what else to try, but you tell me every time
Just keep breathin' and breathin' and breathin' and breathin'
And oh, I gotta keep, I keep on breathin'
Just keep breathin' and breathin' and breathin' and breathin'
And oh, I gotta keep, I keep on breathin', mmm, yeah
My, my air
My, my air
My, my air, my air
My, my air
My, my air
My, my air, yeah
Just keep breathin' and breathin' and breathin' and breathin'
And oh, I gotta keep, I keep on breathin'
Just keep breathin' and breathin' and breathin' and breathin'
And oh, I gotta keep, I keep on breathin', mmm, yeah
Feel my blood runnin', swear the sky's fallin'
I keep on breathin'
Time goes by and I can't control my mind
I keep on breathin', mmm, yeah

Ruth keeps "breathin" aspagnolia08 https://padlet.com/aspagnolia08/whnks6gz2zw7/wish/320421547 This song shows how even when Ruth has a problem she pushes through it until everything gets better. In this song the writer quotes "Just keep breathin". she also talks about how when she has a problem you need to know it will get better and just keep breathing through it. ]]> 2019-01-14 17:39:36 UTC https://padlet.com/aspagnolia08/whnks6gz2zw7/wish/320421547 8.Theme aspagnolia08 https://padlet.com/aspagnolia08/whnks6gz2zw7/wish/320915221 One theme in this story could be how poverty can tear apart families. One quote to  support this theme is conflict between Walter and Mama... Mama: “Son, how come you talk so much ‘bout money?” Walter: “Because, it is life, Mama!” Mama: “Oh—so now its life. Money is life. Once upon a time freedom use to be life—now its money. I guess the world really do change…” Walter: “No—it was always money, Mama. We just didn’t know about it.” p. 74 . This supports the Theme because it shows how two very close people (mama and walter) could be arguing and having tension because of money.]]> 2019-01-15 18:15:08 UTC https://padlet.com/aspagnolia08/whnks6gz2zw7/wish/320915221
