In the short story "A Jury of her Peers", the main point that the author is getting to is that the men don' t give the woman the rights that they deserve. When Mr. Wright killed the canary that would sing with Minnie she became terrified of him. When Mr. Wright killed the bird he was taking Minnie Foster's wrights away to do what she wanted. Minne then killed Mr. Wright for fear of him killing her first. Except she killed him by hanging him so that he would feel the pain of the bird. In the time during this short story the woman didn't have many rights, they got to do very few things with their life. That is what the main point of this short story is.

I like how you use lots of text evidence to support your ideas. The fact that you tackled such a huge topic as what the author was really trying to say through literature is sweet. I think that Minnie wasn't so much terrified of Mr. Wright, but terrifyingly mad at him. I also think that Mrs. Wright killed Mr. Wright because she was so mad. Everything else though, I felt was right on. I'll see you next hour. :D
ReplyDeleteI like how you explaine the main point by using text evidence, however in the middle it almost seemed like you were summarizing. Next time try to use text evidence again, like you did very well, but don't get too carried away and start summarizing
ReplyDeleteI liked how you used a good amount of text evidence to support you're view. However, it sounded a bit like summarizing, and you had a couple of spelling errors that could have been caught if you went back and checked.
ReplyDeleteJoe... I think that it a great response if that is what you truly believe is the main point... Which is probably right.(wright-haha)(I'm jk) anyways... although it was a great response maybe next time you could talk more about how they wern't able to do the same things as the men. Like, you could have talked about when the men were outside and the women were in the kitchen... stuff like that... All you did was talk about how they didn't have the same rights but you never actually described how they didn't. But, I do have to say it was almost a little tiny bit summarizing so next time try to work on that. Other than that I think it was a great view and point. ~Samm
ReplyDeletePortie,
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great response. Your text evidence was great in the beginning, next time just try not to get into summarizing too much. Other than that it was a awesome response! (:
Joe,
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you talked about history and used a lot of text evidence. You really stuck to what you thought the story meant. Next time, use your opinion more often and how the story relates to your life, that way you can stay away from summarizing.
