RED BRACELET

The one thing that I carry on me at all times would have to be my red string/bracelet that I have on my left wrist. I DO NOT TAKE THIS OFF FOR NOTHING!!!!! the reason why is because I believe that it wards off the evil eye, takes away any negative energy. Many don't believe this but I do! Now I don't know why I picked my left wrist to put it on but it just felt right to me. As I did a little research my red bracelet is somewhat associated to the Kabbalah. In Kabbalah traditionally a red string is used on your left wrist and also used to ward off evil spirts and the evil eye. Now what I did find out was that your left side is your spiritual body. I do believe a lot in the evil eye and the fact that there are people around that wish bad upon you. In the Spanish culture we are brought up knowing about the evil eye or as it is said in Spanish the "el mal de ojo". Now I can't speak for every Hispanic but I was brought up knowing about this. So my bracelet never comes off.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mary Grace

 

 

 

In the revelation there is a young girl who has came home from college named Mary Grace. She is with her mother at the doctors office reading her book while the other ladies including her mother are having a conversation. In this conversation they are talking about how the white race is better than then the blacks and so on. One of the ladies named Mrs. Ruby Turpin attempts to talk to Mary Grace but Mary Grace does not pay her no mind. This leads for her mother to answer all the questions that Mrs. Turpin is asking, her mother is embarrassed by her daughters behavior but nevertheless continues with the conversation. As the ladies continue their conversation Mary Grace is listening to everything Mrs.Turpin is saying, she is making noises with her teeth and giving her this stare. The stare which makes Mrs.Turpin notice her even more. Mrs. Turpin makes a comment "I think the worst thing in the world"... "is an ungrateful person. To Have everything and not appreciate it. I know a girl".... she goes on by continuing to be little Mary Grace. When Mrs. Turpin is asked if the "girl" is to young to be paddle (to be spanked) she responded with "yes, I am afraid there's nothing to do but leave her folly. Some day she will wake to and it will be to late". This comment makes Mary Grace feel some type of way that makes her throw a book at Mrs. Turpin and choke her and what is descried in the short story is that she goes into a seizure. Mary Grace then gets sedated but before she closes her eyes she tells Mrs. Turpin "go back to hell where you came from, you old hog". Why would she say this to the lady most of you could be asking. Well Mary Grace is going to college up north where blacks and whites are starting to come together and this has yet to have happened in the south. As Mary Grace hears the way Mrs.Turpin talks about black people you notice from the gestures that she makes that all this is bothering her. At which point she has had enough and lashes out at her also telling her the truth about herself. This comment that Mary Grace has said leaves Mrs.Turpin confused, distraught, wondering why she has said this about her. If I was in Mary Grace position I wouldn't have changed anything of what she did. I think Mrs. Turpin deserved to her those words from someone who wasn't afraid to tell her, she deserved to hear the truth about herself.

Wiki Topic

 

 

 

Finding a wikipidia topic is extremely hard. At first I thought hey how hard can this be I just have to do some research. But OMG let me say it again this is actually hard. At first I was going to write about the Yellow Wallpaper, the story itself is very interesting. It deals a mother that has fallen into a depression, and around this time this was not something that was acceptable. So her husband take his wife to a mansion and lock her in a room thinking it will help her get rid of the depression. To make the long story short it back fires and he intern seems like she goes crazy. Well as I was looking into wikipidida to see what can I possible add to this great story, I noticed that it was basically almost perfect I cannot add anything more to this. All the information has basically been picked apart and translated for people like us to understand it . So here I was wondering what should I collaborate in know then someone said the Revelation. As I read into it I started to like the story more than I liked the Yellow Wallpaper. So now I am part a group and we decided to collaborate in this story together.

The Yellow Wallpaper

Wikipidia says this story takes place in the 19th century, although it was written in 1892. Honestly when I read the story I could not tell where it takes place. The story does not make that part so descriptive. It wasn't until I read the article in wikipidia: The yellow wallpaper that I understood where the story takes place.  Wiki states that the basically this story takes place when there was a lot of feminist going on and women where not allowed to be better than men . Also, in the 19th century women can not be mentally ill, they as in the people around that time looked down upon women that did have a mental illness. In this short story the woman's husband John, takes his wife to a mansion for the summer and he locks her in a room with yellow wallpaper with the design of a woman. He says he kept her there to heal her he didn't think this was a mental illness yet something that she just needs to get over and sucluding her from everyone will help her. Now what happens next I guess you will just have to read the story.
