I thought that your topic was very intriguing. You shared that women have had an increasing role in society in the past century, and I agree that the war had a lot to do with this fact. With men away at war, the women had to provide for their families. They then kept these jobs and their roles shifted. This will eventually lead to women fighting in wars in todays times. It is crazy how far things have come as far as this topic goes in the past century.

You brought up many very interesting points during your fishbowl discussion. Some of these include the fact that civil disobedience played a significant role in the succesful desegregation of society. You said that things may be different if the violent approach were taken. You also asked if Martin Luther King werent around at the time, would the movement be unproductive and perhaps violent? I had never considered this perspective and it kind of made me think about how things could have been completely different now.
I thought that you did a good job talking about the supernatural symbols in literature. Specifically you brought up the different symbols that were used in Hamlet as well as Pans Labrynith. I thought that it was the perfect thing to bring up in the beginning of the discussion because I'm assuming that a majority of the class all knows those stories and what specific symbols you brought up. You also brought up the symbolism of heaven vs. hell which is something that a lot of authors indirectly bring up in order to keep the readers and viewers thinking.
