On this day we discussed a dolls house, we had to look at a picture of a dolls house and interpret what the play might be about. The dolls house itself, reminded me of when I was small and how I loved to play with barbies. I'd give them names and make them do what I always wanted to do, make my fantasies come to life. When I think of the word doll, I think of someone who has no emotions or is fake. Inside the house I noticed that there were a lot of people and wondered why there was only one bathroom and one bedroom. The one thing that was also strange was that there was no staircase leading to the second floor. The dolls were placed in difference sections of the house, they are doing different actions but not interacting with one another, this could be a sign that the family does not have a close relationship. Which is why I got the idea from seeing 5 pets in the house that maybe the pets are used to acompany someone, since the family is not there for eachother. There is a white fence surrounding the house, which could be to protect the kids and pets another possibility could be that the fence represents closure and they are trapped however the gate is opened. Afterwards we each got a different topic from Mrs. Morris, my topic was; does society's expectations prevent a parents indiviual growth. I went around asking my classmates what their opinion is, overall the anwers were that, No society's expectations do not prevent a parents individual growth because it depends on how the parents raise their children in their own way, so the expectations don't affect them but somewhat try and make them better parents.
