Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe Assignment 1
As we begin the novel, we meet Evelyn. She's overweight, unhappy, and disconnected from her body and self. How do you feel about her? Answer in at leastthree sentences, and then reply to at least two of your peers.
I feel that Evelyn has a lot of self-pitty. She doesn't really do anything to pick herself up either. She is just depressed because she is overweight and then turns to food to feed her depression causing her to be even more unhappy. I really do think Evelyn needs to get over herself, move on, and do something to make her happy.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely. She is in a cycle and can't figure out how to get out of it. She's got mental issues.
DeleteYour last sentence i really agree with and she really needs to stop before she harms herself.
Deletei agree completely with you. she may hurt her self
DeleteOuch. I agree too, but the way you said it sounds a little harsh.
Deletei agree also. she is going to end up hurting herself
Deletei think you worded it just fine kassidy. Bailey is just haten
DeleteI agree. She needs a treadmill and she needs to stop feeling bad to herself.
DeleteI deffinatly agree she can't just sit around and do nothing, and keep her sel in a pitty party.
DeleteI think Evelyn is really depressed. She just sits around and eats candy. She is very lazy. Why doesnt she just get over it and get on with life instead of feeling sorry for herself. Or she could just take some depression pills to get over it but she wont go to the doctor.
ReplyDeletei agree jacob she is very lazy. she needs to excersize
Deleteyeah she is weird i agree with you thats why she is overweight
DeleteEverything isn't solved by taking pills, she needs to make a life change.
Deleteeverything can be fixed with pills. they are made for a reason.
Deletetisk tisk. Medications can help many people if used properly, but self medicating and popping pills will do her more harm than good. She should see a professional and get help the right way.
DeleteEvelyn is a lady, lost in her own depression. She is stuck in a cycle of unhappiness because she eats, gets fat, eats more because she is sad and so forth and so on. I think she and the lady, Threadgoode, get on so well because she just sits there and lets her talk. It's as if she doesn't want to speak up and say things, such as with her husband.
ReplyDeleteShe is just stuck in a rut and needs to stop.
DeleteI agree with your thoughs on this. She needs to make a stand in her life to move on.
DeleteI agree that she needs to speak up and say things. She is too shy. It is good that she is talking to Mrs. Threadgoode
DeleteGood analysis. She's timid and doesn't have the self confidence to express herself.
DeleteI feel as if Evelyn is sad because she gets depressed about her weight. I think it is funny that Evelyn is jealous of her daughter. It is a little weird that she just listens to Mrs. Threadgoods stories and she doesn't even know her. But they end up getting to know each other so then it isn't so weird.
ReplyDeleteI agree but she keeps eating and eating making her fatter, like a rhino! And it is a tad odd that she just sat there and listend to Miss Threadgoode talk for however long. She's putting herself out there to make friends.
DeleteShe's in this vicious cycle where she eats because she's depressed and she's depressed because she eats and is overweight. I feel she needs to get a new view on life and move on in the world. My feelings towards her might not be the most helpful to her and her pity party she has made herself; but nothing will get better unless she just moves on. First step is to just be happy and not care really. Evelyn is a strong lady but she needs to have faith in herself and believe she has something to look for in her days instead of dreading them everyday. I wish she'd move forward and not waste her time making sad filled memories.
ReplyDeleteI agree she just needs to grow up and quit whining.
Deletei think Evelyn is not happy with her self. she doesnt no how to fix her sels so she just eats. she need to find something to make her hasppy in life besides eating. maybe a good hobby wouold help her out a lot.
ReplyDeleteOr if it is not getting better with a hobby she should go to a doctor!
DeleteI agree. She whines about it too much and doesnt do anything about it. A hobby would be a good choice for her.
Deletei agree too because she can change if she wants to.
DeleteI agree because all she does is sits around.
DeleteI think that Evelyn is really depressed and she has problems. That makes her very unhappy with her life and everything. Maybe she should go to a doctor or do anything with friends to get happy!!
ReplyDeleteEvelyn is very depressed and unhappy with herself. She does things for her husband that is lazy. I think Evelyn just needs to be her own person and not be someone shes not. If she is tired of being fat, then lose weight instead of whine about it and stop making people feel sorry for her.
ReplyDeleteYeah! I hate how people whine about things and never do anything about it. It's sooooooo irritating!
Deletei think that she is depressed. she makes her life harder then it needs to be if she didnt try to be so different and act like she hides everything then shed problybe normal
ReplyDeleteYeah I agree. They have meds for her kind of condition and she seems to be blowing things out of proportion. She really just needs to suck it up. Though I don't think you can really define "normal" because no one is really "normal". There is just a stereotype of so called "normal".
DeleteI think she is feeling sorry for herself. She needs to grow up and knock it off. She is the reason shes like that so she can stop it and change herself if she wants to.
ReplyDeleteI think that Evelyn is insecure about her life. Her husband Ed ignores her and shes bored a lot, she feels that she has no one to connect with. I think that she needs to get a job, and divorce Ed if he is treating her like trash, she just needs to work on evelyn and quit whining.
