Comments:
For Thomas: The figurative language analysis about the sun is similar to what I found. In our groups today, Clara D. and I realized that the first paragraph also relates to Logan with the idea of "no free will' and the middle paragraph relates to Joe with the idea of possessions.
I also liked your analysis of the colors used in the text. If the red and the white mean what you say, then what is the so called "business"? I was just curious because when I read "But pretty [...] in white" again it just sound interesting when you switch the colors red and white to the associations of those colors you made.

For Vlada: I really like how both your analysis on the bed imagery and the analysis of time worked to emphasize the difference between Annie and Janie. The symbolism of the bed and the different actions that Annie and Janie took was very interesting and something I had not realized.

For Andrew:I see what you mean when you say the daughter might be busy but I thought it was comparing the mother and the daughter instead. The mother has jumped from man to man and never seemed to settle. The daughter on the other hand has a husband and has settled. Her daughter also becomes an insult to Annie because her supposedly more successful daughter has to help the Annie out of an unpleasant situation. Also another interesting thing to think about is how old is Annie and how many men has she been with? How many men was the daughter with before she married?
