Analysis Outline

Well because I missed class on Tuesday I didn't really recieve the outline to work on my paper with, but I did talk to Stephen and basically got the jist of what was on the outline and just working on that made it easier for me to write my paper. It definitally helped me out because it put the paper into perspective for me.

Thesis Statement

When analyzing Ursula Leguin's paper, "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas," the amount of symbolism that is used is excessively descriptive. This gives the reader many different ways of seeing the novel, and looking close enough, you can see that the child in the story is our deepest regrets that we can't deal with and throw in the closet.

Critical Analyzation

While analyzing these papers, I realized a lot more symbolism occuring that I had before. This helped me to get a better view what the author was trying to get across or what I felt that the story meant. I really enjoyed this exercise because it helped me to see more in depth and I enjoyed trying to problem solve these stories and unravel the inner story.

Womens Conditions in the 1900s

For this blog, I am supposed to write about how women were treated in the 1900s. Unlike many men, I feel that women should receive the same treatment as men do because they do have to work just as hard as we do achieve anything in America. Even though I believe this, I don’t think that they should be allowed to hold the position of President. The only reason that I believe this is because I feel they would be more stubborn and less aggressive in the case of us needing to go to war. Other than this, I will try to explain the way that women were treated in the early 1900s.
In the early 1900s, women were not treated as we as they were now. Nearly all of the women that were living in that time period were working inside of the household and only a very few ever worked outside in factories or other jobs outside of the home. The most normal time for women to work outside of the home was if they were teachers. Women were still considered inferior to men, as evidenced by lower wages, and fewer educational and employment opportunities. (Women’s Lives 1900-1920). This is what made women push for more equal treatment because they realized that they should get the same treatment as males did. Women still aren’t treated in an equal way as they should be. The only way for this to happen is for women and men who support them to keep on pushing to get more equal rights.

Symbolism

Symbols in Short Stories

The White Herron
Cow- The cow symbolizes the child’s one and only friend. It is the only thing that will play games with her, such as hide and seek. Obviously the cow doesn’t realize this, but the child does.
Gun- The power that men believe that they hold
Sylvia- Innocence
Sea- To me, I notice the sea as being something that is forbidden because Sylvia has never seen it but can hear it calling to her.
　The Yellow Wallpaper
House- When I was reading about the house, I started to think that the woman was just dreaming about a house that she had lived at in the past but had been damaged.
The old wallpaper- boring and depressing part of life.
Ripping of the Wallpaper- Starting your life over, or taking and your life and forgetting about all of the old things.
