The way you weave our contemporary story with Addie's moves me as the current days also worry me. <br /><br />Your line resonates so: "Still, listening to students talk about Addie, hearing their condemnation of her, I'm reminded of the social-cultural conditions in which she "lay dying," and I find myself softening my judgment and seeing her as a signal of all we have to lose as the new world order journeys toward destruction of many hard-won rights women have known during my lifetime. <br /><br />It is the harshness that is most alarming to me. The right and wrongness with so little time spent on understanding, as opposed to judging. I think of Peter Elbow's believing and doubting game and wish we could all approach the day to day happenings playing.Mary Ann Reillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14349201167828984708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489583182385276767.post-54425730927773823032017-03-03T09:53:27.344-07:002017-03-03T09:53:27.344-07:00"The House on Mango Street" is an excell..."The House on Mango Street" is an excellent connection to Faulkner's observations about gender roles, and I bet many of my students have read it. Thank you for stopping by and for reading this long post. I told my husband I didn't expect it to get comments! Faulkner is a hard "pill" to swallow for many.

I teach seventh grade, and we just wrapped up a unit on "The House on Mango Street" which also allowed us to delve into a lot of issues about gender expectations.
