Very different from expression of it now in our society. https://nowcomment.com/documents/189462?scroll_to=1783437 https://nowcomment.com/documents/189462?scroll_to=1783437 Thu, 09 Apr 2020 17:30:05 -0400 Sets off the relationship right off the bat, you can tell that her mother holds high standards for girls/women. https://nowcomment.com/documents/189462?scroll_to=1783434 https://nowcomment.com/documents/189462?scroll_to=1783434 Thu, 09 Apr 2020 17:28:36 -0400 Repetition of a phrase in the beginning of the epilogue that ties in the idea of conformity and the constant repetition of having to fit an image. https://nowcomment.com/documents/189462?scroll_to=1783429 https://nowcomment.com/documents/189462?scroll_to=1783429 Thu, 09 Apr 2020 17:22:25 -0400 I believe she wants to be open with him because she doesn't want the standards the town put on her to be correct. She will most likely be more reserved with her money seeing as she was distraught that he took it in the first place. https://nowcomment.com/documents/189433?scroll_to=1783413 https://nowcomment.com/documents/189433?scroll_to=1783413 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:00 -0400 Why do you think Janie told Tea Cake that she only liked him as a friend at first? Was it out of fear? Second thoughts? https://nowcomment.com/documents/189433?scroll_to=1783407 https://nowcomment.com/documents/189433?scroll_to=1783407 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:01 -0400 Janie is representing her true character fully, she is not held back anymore and feels more free to be herself. She now gets treated how she always wanted to be, inclusively, which helps her happiness thrive. https://nowcomment.com/documents/189433?scroll_to=1783368 https://nowcomment.com/documents/189433?scroll_to=1783368 Thu, 09 Apr 2020 17:01:08 -0400 The question asking who is the human is very significant in the context of the piece https://nowcomment.com/documents/186390?scroll_to=1763807 https://nowcomment.com/documents/186390?scroll_to=1763807 because so many of the people who were "dragger[s]" were not criticized at the time and the ones "dragged" were belittled and not necessarily viewed as human. The writer makes it a point to ask which side of the argument is really human here? Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:00:00 -0400 Connecting the word "hope" with "bleeds" expresses the tone of misery and defeat that Maura also mentioned. The imagery of the blood of hope "slowly" coming from the mouth adds to the gory tone of the poem and just how painful life was to live. https://nowcomment.com/documents/186390?scroll_to=1763775 https://nowcomment.com/documents/186390?scroll_to=1763775 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 17:42:53 -0400 The diction of almost personifying the sun giving it a scar a person would get makes it come to life and it expresses the pain the sun struck upon them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/186390?scroll_to=1763768 https://nowcomment.com/documents/186390?scroll_to=1763768 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 17:40:40 -0400 The significance relates to the story's theme of nature and the people within nature. As well as how nature affects the people living in it. This relates to the plot in the way that we see nature affecting the characters. https://nowcomment.com/documents/173993?scroll_to=1763693 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173993?scroll_to=1763693 Jody aging/becoming more full of rage before his death and the mule dying of poor treatment being some examples within this section that we just read. Fri, 03 Apr 2020 17:26:14 -0400 I believe this is Zora expressing herself through Janie as a character to apply some of her morals within her writing. It adds depth to the story and Janie to have that portion of Zora's philosophical mindset woven in throughout the story. https://nowcomment.com/documents/173993?scroll_to=1763674 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173993?scroll_to=1763674 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 17:21:23 -0400 Even though Jody expressed himself in a very controlling manner towards Janie, do you think his intentions overall were ever good? Do you think he was just poor at expressing himself accurately or do you believe he was actually just a power hungry male? https://nowcomment.com/documents/173993?scroll_to=1763667 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173993?scroll_to=1763667 Fri, 03 Apr 2020 20:30:49 -0400
