Thursday/Friday Class Work:
Objective: Text analysis - students will be able to explain the motivation between the protagonist's actions after reading the story, "The Possibility of Evil" and relate it to a theme.
Students need to write a blog entry of an least 1 paragraph explaining the protagonists motivations for her action in “The Possibility of Evil”. Students need to cite at least three pieces of evidence to support their analysis.
Mrs. Strange worth wanted to as she said in her own words stop the possibility of evil starting. Theres probably a bigger meaning to why she does. Maybe she thinks of herself as a mayor or officer since she goes on about saying that her family built this town. So if there was a problem she wanted to be the one to fix it so it didn't affect any thing in the town. She's probably more concerned for the town then the peoples well fare in a sense. She worries more about her roses then the fact she broke the hearts of two lovers. In a sense I don't think she quite cares for he peoples hearts as more of her just keeping peace no matter the cost.
Students also need to write a 2-3 paragraph sequel to show how Miss Strangeworth’s life is different after her secret is revealed.
Tearful at the site of all her roses being shredded and stomped on Miss Strange worth walked sluggishly back in side devastated by the look of what was once her beautiful garden. As she sat in her quiet dining room sipping tea all she could think of is how this could've happened to her. She sat there for good hour soon not realizing that her tea glass was empty, and all she was sipping was air. As she laid down in bed having pleasant dreams of her life before it turned into nightmares of the town chasing her back to her home all shouting and holding weapons.
The next morning she got up eyes purple from her having lack of sleep. Miss Strange worth took her morning routine and was about ready to step out the door. As she opened it there was a crunch noise. Looking down she was greeted with the sight of more roses ripped apart. Taking a few steps back she shook off the horror that was befallen upon her and soon was walking in the streets of town. As she greeted people all she got was ether grunts or silence. When Miss Strange worth was getting her normal groceries Mr. Lewis stopped her and was going to refuse service Stating she wasn't allowed in his store. Saddened she walked out and was confused on where to go.
After being denied service at every store Miss Strange worth soon went home. As she entered her yard she tripped over a hose that was right behind the gate.Miss Strange worth was dying after falling hard on the ground, Not only was it a heavy hit but she landed on a big pile of roses which had thorns spread across the whole pile of petals. the thorns were sharp enough that some punctured her skin and made her bleed out in multiple areas. Slowly she laid there only able to shed few tears as she soon starts to realize how the town discovering her led to this. Using the last of her energy she took the nearest in tact rose and held it close to her chest.
Both of these pieces of writing should be posted on the blog.
Alex - she tripped over a hose and died?
