@LinaKawas what kind of actions result from these characters putting up their fronts?

[Kelly Finnen @KellyFinnen]

In MA Jim burden feels "coldly" towards Antonia which is ironic because in the beginning he describes her and puts her up on a pedestal

@BeccaJohlie Great! Do the children feel as though they have to over dramatize for any specific reason?

[Kelly Finnen @KellyFinnen]

MA: The use of dashes mid sentence displays the broken thoughts and ideas of the foreign characters

@BeccaJohlie Great observation! Do you think this conflict will ever be resolved between Fanny and her cousins?

[Kelly Finnen @KellyFinnen]

Antonia looks at Jimmy "hopefully" showing how scared she is and how little she knows about American life and wants Jimmy to teach her.

@JordanPyrczak Interesting! Do you think his perception of his dad will change by the end?

[Kelly Finnen @KellyFinnen]

In MA Antonia is "as bright as a new dollar." Bright shows that her qualities are greater than everyone else's and she's almost perfect.

@LinaKawas I agree! The monster was not taught how to interact with society. He had to learn on his own by observation in order to survive.

'Tabula rasa' means blank slate. I think the monster wanted Victor to create a friend for him so he could start his life over with someone.
