Meaning: most of the story is set in woods, seen as foreboding but Piney ends up being the ultimate comfort to The Duchess at the end of the story]]> 2021-11-23 16:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908804052 laustuck https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908811515 The name Piney Woods indicates she has old and new qualities about her. She acts mature and older than she really is, but she is also young, naive, and the others shield her from the true harshness of the world. The woods is where the characters end up being the happiest and her name embodies the nature of man that is happy and free.]]> 2021-11-23 16:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908811515 laustuck https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908821434 Piney Woods ran away from Sandy Bar with Tom Simson (The "Innocent") because her father, Jake Woods, would not allow her to marry "Innocent". She is upbeat and positive, though also ignorant to the real harsh world, and is constantly shielded from the hardships of reality by the other Outcasts. She is also innocent like Tom and knows nothing of the world. Piney is also a virgin, unlike The Duchess and possibly Mother Shipton. ]]> 2021-11-23 16:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908821434 laustuck https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908832505 Piney's upbeat and positive attitude is good, but the fact that she does not know anything of the real world in its harsh nature is hurtful to her because she does not know the truth. She believes she will always be happy with "Innocent" in a non-troubled world when the reality is that the world is troubled and broken. Her virginity is a positive quality because it means she is pure and unblemished, the opposite of the Duchess who is a prostitute.]]> 2021-11-23 16:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908832505 laustuck https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908841366 Piney's father Jake disapproved of her and "Innocent's" engagement so they ran away to go to Poker Flat to be married, believing that no one would judge them. However, considering the other Outcast's fortune that was unlikely.]]> 2021-11-23 16:32:22 UTC https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908841366 laustuck https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908853763 They saw her as young, pure, happy, and mercifully ignorant and innocent to the harsh world she does not know exists until the end. They shield her from the troubles of life, such as Uncle Billy's selfish acts. The Duchess and Mother Shipton are especially interested in her because they want her to stay young and innocent for as long as she can and they don't want her to experience what they have. They care about her well-being. ]]> 2021-11-23 16:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908853763 laustuck https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908860741 She did not leave Poker Flat, but she was traveling there with her fiance "Innocent" from Sandy Bar. She left Sandy bar because her father would not allow her to marry "Innocent", most likely because of her age (15) and her ignorance to the real and harsh world.]]> 2021-11-23 16:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908860741 laustuck https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908866702 "Innocent" indicates that they made the decision together, though it is possible that he decided that they should leave because he seems to make lots of decisions for her and Piney is young so she is not used to making decisions for herself. Her father probably made her decisions for her and now "Innocent" has taken on that role.]]> 2021-11-23 16:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908866702 laustuck https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908870920 Piney appears happy to have left Sandy Bar and to be headed for Poker Flat with her lover to be married. She's positive and happy all through the story, and never resists "Innocent".]]> 2021-11-23 16:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908870920 laustuck https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908876171 Piney ends by dying. However, she comforted the Duchess before death and the two different women, one young and pure and the other impure, stayed together and died together, comforted by each other's presence.]]> 2021-11-23 16:49:53 UTC https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908876171 laustuck https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908882010 He left her and the Duchess in peaceful death to communicate that the pure can always heal the impure. Piney comforted the Duchess before death and made her feel better about herself. Piney was also shown to be mature and grown up when she accepts the "position of the stronger" in the story and helps the Duchess. The purpose of her end was to signify that death comes to all, but it is less painful for those like Piney who helps others and is always joyful. ]]> 2021-11-23 16:52:56 UTC https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908882010 laustuck https://padlet.com/laustuck/zubklk4l35aw228y/wish/1908972071 Piney represents the side of man that is ignorant of the world but happy, free, and innocent.
