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 think that she will eventually become happier as she continues to listen to her friend in the nursing home. I don't think she is going to be disconnected for very long. In my opinion, I think she will begin to accept herself.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I think she will become comfortable with her self again.
DeleteI agree with everyone. Everyone has their own opinion so their opinion is correct.
DeleteI agree with you Tiffany. She will be happier if she listens to her friends.
DeleteI feel like she needs a friend or someone to talk to. she also need to spend more time with people. I also think that she need so time to herself with no one around.
ReplyDeleteI agree that she needs to spend more time with people. I think having more friends will distract her from being disconnected.
DeleteI agree Meghan. She needs more friends and people to talk to.
DeleteI think that if she does get out more, she will open up and relax more.
DeleteI feel that Mrs. Couch needs to take some classes on how to be herself. She is constantly feeling bad for herself when it could be worse. All she just needs to get over it and deal with that fact shes going through menopause.
ReplyDeleteI think you have a great point and great logic
DeleteSometime things like that are hard to "just get over." I think if Evelyn is going to feel better about anything she needs friends and someone she can depend on (Obviously not Ed) to help her through it.
DeleteShe is pretty crazy. At least she hasn't hurt herself over it.
DeleteEvelyn is a lady trying to be someone else. She is trying to be the perfect wife, the perfect mother, and the perfect person. What she doesn't understand is she needs to be herself. I think if she would stop limiting the possibilities of her life she would be so much happier.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on the part that shes trying to be the perfect person.
DeleteI think Evelyn is very unhappy with her life. She's in her forties, and has a bad marriage.
ReplyDeletereally brin one sentence I have more than you but good response
DeleteI think she's pretty funny. She tries to be a perfectionist in everything she does. Her weakness is that she tries to be someone she really isn't. As the story goes on I think her true self is coming out.
ReplyDeleteWe can only hope that Evelyn will be more herself as the story goes on. Maybe she will loosen up a little bit.
DeleteYeah, she is slowly coming out of her shell.
DeleteI agree. I think she needs to loosen up a little bit and relax. Keep calm and carry on.
DeleteI agree, I think she will get tired of putting on a front and soon be herself
DeleteI agree with you that she is trying to be a perfectionist. She need to just learn how to be herself with people again.
DeleteThis is true. Honestly the only person you should live for is yourself, and trying to be perfect for everyone else isn't going to get you anywhere.
DeleteI also agree with Matt Blanchard. She will know who she is at the end.
DeleteI think she could learn a lot from Mrs Threadgoode. I feel like she feels bad about herself. She is a little selfish when it comes to her being unhappy.
ReplyDeleteI think that this Evelyn person has some serious problems and maybe needs some help. I hope that things get better as the story goes on.
ReplyDeleteShe's trying to be some thing she isn't. Evelyn wants to be good at everything. she could be happier if she wanted to. She doesnt need to prove to everyone.
ReplyDeleteI think maybe if she got out more, she would be happier. Plus, trying to be a perfectionist is an unhealthy way of living. I think more interaction with others would get her mind off of things.
ReplyDeleteI think that if she could get away from her problems and put herself out there to other people she would be a lot happier. Trying to do everything perfect would also be very hard considering there's nothing perfect
