Thankgiving!

I cannot wait for thanksgiving break! Me and my family are very close, and on thanksgiving we dont meet with other relatives its just my mom dad brother and sister. Most of our relatives live far away and we only see them for christmas, but i like that its only my family on thanksgiving. I do most of the cooking on thankgiving, my mom help and still makes sure that i do everything right but she has taught my well and now that is my job, my little sister like to try and help too. Thanksgiving morning we always make cinnemon rolls and watch the maci day parade, my mom has always wanted to go to it, i hope someday she gets too. Then we start making the food and my dad and my brother put the christmas lights on the roof, we eat at about 2 every year then me and my brother always get to do the wish bone, and my sister gets upset every year because she doesnt get too and my mom feels bad for her but its just mine and my brothers thing. Then later that night we put up the christmas tree and watch movies.. i love thanksgiving!

Outline

The outline was a lot of help in writing the literary analysis. By having the outline we knew what we were supposed to have in our paper and get it organized so it was a good way to make sure we included everything and once we got the outline finised we pretty much had our whole paper written just needed to type it up and add words so i am very glad that you made the outline for us.

THESIS

Richard Connell's, The Most Dangerous Game suggests life as being a game and we can end up in someone elses game if we go on the wrong path.

critical reading

When I re-read the stories critically I got a lot more out of them. Yes it was more time consuming but thats the way we need to start reading, we need to set enough time aside so we can do it the right way the first time and not have to go back and re do it. I picked out a lot more symbols but some were still hard to interperet. I think that it is something you will get better at the more you do and like anything you need to practice/ take notes/ highlight to get better at it and be able to read between the lines.

Symbols

Women in the early 1900s

Despite the activities of the Suffrage's and the support of the Labour Party and some members of the Liberal Party, women still had very few rights in 1900 and no political rights.(Turmen 2000) In fact, the activities of the Suffrage's lost women the support of many people, including women, who viewed what they did with alarm. (Turmen)

At the start of the Twentieth Century, women had a very stereotypical role in British society. If married, they  stayed at home to look after the children while their husband worked and brought in a weekly wage. (Turmen 2000)If single, they did work which usually involved some form of service such as working as a waitress, cooking etc.(Turmen 2000) Many young women were simply expected to get married and have children. (Turmen 2000)The term "spinster", though not a term of outright abuse, was still seen as having some form of stigma attached to it......that you were not good enough to get a husband etc.

The condition of women in the early 1900s
Women were maides and did all of the house work. Sylvia was scared to talk to others she could barely talk to the man that came up to her on the road. She grew fond of him though and kept him company when he was hunting. Women were meant to please back then most of us now a days wouldnt let a stranger stay in our home. One line i found symbolic " he did not lead she only followed". thats what women did in the early 1900s it wasnt their place to lead. Women were still powerfull though and had will power for what they believed in, she would not tell where the bird was.
The wife doesnt make any of her own decisions her life is controled by her husband John. She has no say in her own condition everyone else is just telling her what is wrong with her. Being in that room for three months makes her more crazy i think.
