My topic for the Year Long Civil Disobedience Project.

I got bad news.....I DON'T HAVE A GROUP!!!! D:

American Literary Periods.

The Colonial Period's style of writing is Sermons written in plain style rather than ornate. It has personal narratives which are written freely in their own words. The Romantic Period's differs from the Colonial Period's by slave narratives, poetry, and short stories. Some Characteristics for Transcendentalism are two different ways: Transcendental(Self-reliance and individualism) and Gothic(Sin, pain, evil). The historical context affected these literary periods by changing their ways to live by their mood and emotions.

The Glass Menagerie Pre-Show Discussion Answers (It was all Kervin Cano!))

1.) If I had to write a play based on my family the format I would use is comedy because I most of the time just do things just for the laughs. I would only use a few members of the family if I did do a play. Yes, I would be proud to share my story with my family itself.

2.) What I think the symbolism for the title is obsession. The glass menagerie is so important to Laura because to start this out she loved her glass menagerie, since it is made of glass it is too vulnerable for being fragile so it takes splendid care for them to be okay. I think she chose to collect all the little animals because collecting stuff feels like an accomplishment. They were made of glass because it gives divine beauty. The glass has great quality, and that relates to Laura by her desire for having greatness.

3.) From what I know, there was conflict between Germany and the United States back in urban America in the 1930s. That affected people's lives by being drafted to armies to both countries and be forced to choose sides between Germany and the U.S. . This could have affected the lives of the Wingfields by ruining their goals to triumph their dreams of whatever they desired. (Draft or death maybe). I think the times play after a last bad meeting between Amanda and Tom.

4.)I think the future of television in the 1930s was far off less than 20 years after. I don't think Jim was so well forward-thinking. If I was to "get in on the floor" of an industry, it would be a book writer. I think the impact would take only a few years.

Civil Disobedience Subject.

I'm not in a group yet but what I'm interested for my civil disobedience project is to talk about how some parents' mess up their kids' childhoods and cause them to have a failure future, in my opinion.

Here are three ideas of why this subject should be at its end:

1.) It causes depression to the child.

2.) It creates a bad personality to the child.

3.) It could possibly cause death at young age.

My teenage suicide website choice.

http://www.cfw.tufts.edu/?/category/health/1/topic/teen-suicide/156/

Teenagers commit suicide because of their current problems they cannot fix and seem impossible to escape. This causes them huge stress, loss of hope, and worst of all, deeply lowers their desire to live on. I've been through many hard times and stress myself, but I know there's always a way out. Although, for those teenagers who took their lives for their problems must've probably been in a serious situation I've never experienced. I know this part your about to read is off the subject but suicides often leave the spirits of the dead walking in our world, unable to rest in peace perhaps for eternity. That is the worst thing that could happen after death. The link above will give you helpful information in to how the teenage suicide can be stopped before it's too late.
