Today we are going to talk about “April showers” and “The Invalid’s Story” and first I’m going to talk about April Showers and Theodora her id was she wanted to be a writer some day. And her ego she wrote in her spare time or didn’t to her duties. So her super-ego she had to take care of her siblings and her quote in her box that is going to her mouth says “don’t work to fast son, you look tired”. Now for the invalids story witch this guy didn’t have a name and he was weird but his id he wants the cabin to smell good wants to throw the smell out. But his ego he decided just to try and make it smell better. But his super-ego he wants to get rid of body but doesn’t because its wrong and in his box going to his mouth it says its awful solemn and cur’us. So that is both of they storys.

And her ego she wrote in her spare time or didn’t to her duties. So her super-ego she had to take care of her siblings and her quote in her box that is going to her mouth **I’m confused by this. What does “quote in her box that is going to her mouth” mean? Did you discuss this in class?** says “don’t work to fast son, you look tired”. Now for the invalids story witch this guy didn’t have a name and he was weird **What in the text leads you to believe that he was weird?** but his id he wants the cabin to smell good wants to throw the smell out. But his ego he decided just to try and make it smell better. But his super-ego he wants to get rid of body but doesn’t because its wrong and in his box going to his mouth **Again, what do you mean by this? It might help if you use different words to get your point across.** it says its awful solemn and cur’us. **What is awful solemn and cur’us?** So that is both of they storys. ======

// I’m a little confused by “quote in her box that is going to her mouth.” By this, do you mean thoughts that she has that she says out loud? Maybe work on this to make it easier for the reader to understand. //======

Choose one of the stories to apply feminist criticism to the reading. Identify the protagonist and antagonist and describe their relationship as it relates to the theme. How does the relationship to the foil, if there is one, reflect the theme? Identify whether the protagonist is round or flat, dynamic or static. Support your response with examples from the text.
 * Chopin’s “Story of and Hour” and Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper”**

**__ “Yellow Wallpaper” __** The story was written by Charlotte Perkins Gillman. So for the frist question I believe that this story is about patriarchy, because of all the different things that the husband does so make the women feel like they are not worth something like when they were moving in to the new house it was dark and he said “are you afraid of the dark little girl”. In to me that just it hurtful to women etc. So I believe that the narrator and jane are the protagonist because the action is always with them like when something happens

The story was written by Charlotte Perkins Gillman. So for the frist question I believe that this story is about patriarchy, because of all the different things that the husband does so make the women feel like they are not worth something like when they were moving in to the new house it was dark and he said “are you afraid of the dark little girl”. **Great example from the text! Are there any more?** In to me that just it hurtful to women etc. **Why do you feel that this is hurtful to women? I see where you’re coming from, but you need to explain to your reader in a little more depth why you feel that way.** So I believe that the narrator and jane **Where in the text are these two different people?** are the protagonist because the action is always with them like when something happens **Good. Are there any other definitions of protagonist?**

// Great start! I’m happy to see that you used such a strong example from the text. I can see that you know the text and that you have some great ideas—just don’t be afraid to explain them in further detail! If you back your ideas up, it will be easier to persuade your reader to think similarly. (For example, I’d like to know more about your reading of patriarchy as the theme of the story.) // // Also, be sure to focus on all the questions in the prompt. What kind of character is the protagonist? (Flat, round, static, dynamic) I’d love to know your thoughts on this! // // I look forward to reading more of your writing. // // -Erin //

Select an example of imagery that creates the mood of the story? How does the mood of the setting reflect the character’s motivations driven by their id, ego, and superego?
 * Crane’s “Mystery of Heroism”**

Mystery of Heroism aj Stephen crane is the auothor of mystery of heroism and this is a very good story. So my paper is going to be about the 5 senses that you can look for in the story but im going to make it easy for you today and just tell you! Also this took place in the civil war times. So for my first topic im going to talk about the 5 senses that I found in the story and if you don’t know your 5 senses im going to tell you, they are sight, sound, smell, taste, and last but not least feel. Now what I found for sight was “and there was a massacre of the young blades of grass” which was from the first page and they were walking through a meadow and the grass was just getting destored. Now for sound “a stoupindous scuffle as if two animals the size of islands were fighting” which meant that when they were walking they saw other men fighting. For taste there was nothing in the text that we could find. But I did find smell “in the air was an odar as from a conflagiation” wich meant a strong bad smell. Now for feel “holding his right arm carefully in his left hand and it was as if this arm was not at all part of him but belonged to another man” witch meant that his arm felt lyke a heavy feather it might not make sense but it will. So now im going to talk about his id, ego, and super ego. Now his id wanted to just stomp over to the well and get what he needed. But ego wanted the water but he knew he had to get it fast. Now as far as his super ego made him scared and he knew what was going to happen if he went out there to go get the water. And this all connects to the story by the text. For my conclusion as you can see there is a alful lot of imagery in this story by stephen crane and this is my paper.

//A couple things to focus on: (1) Be sure to answer all questions in the prompt that your teacher gives you. You did a great job of relating id, ego, and superego to the text, but how do they affect the character’s motivation? Also, what is the mood of the story? (2) Try to avoid using the words “you” or “I”. You don’t need to tell the reader, “I’m going to talk about…” The reader already knows that if you are writing a paper, the words are your thoughts. I know it’s kind-of a silly rule, but it will make your writing stronger.//======

How does the author indirectly characterize the protagonist through the use of dialect? What does this tell us about the character? How are they influenced by their id, ego, or superego?
