(a.) Their social and economic status-past, present, and future.
Well the Greenleafs are much more successful than the Mays in the present tense. Although the Mays were much more successful in the past the Greenleaf's still managed to rise to the top. The kids of both the Mays and Greenleafs determined who was going to be more successful. If things continue the way the are now, than the Greenleafs will continue their success.

Greenleaf Questions
How do you feel about Mrs. May? Do you like her? Dislike her? Feel sorry for her? Have no sympathy for her?
I really don't like Mrs. May one bit. Than again i feel really sorry for her because she works hard to keep her family going and her two boys are just a pair of idiots. She hates the fact that Mr. Greenleaf's boys turned out very successful and she absolutely hates them. For some reason Mrs. May puts up with Mr. Greenleaf for fifteen years but still thinks he's a complete idiot. In the end I think she's having a really hard time and doesn't like the way her life is going and she's getting old so she doesn't have much time.

Hills Like White Elephants Questions
What is indicated about the past life of the man and the girl? How? What has happened to the quality of their relationship? Why? How do we know? How accurate is the man's judgment about their future?
That whatever there about to do in the story is something that they've never done before and there somewhat nervous about it. Their relationship kind of seperated a little because they argue and the man is trying to convince the girl to help him smuggle absinthe. The woman tells him to stop talking to her because she doesn't like what he's saying. The man seems to be very sure about their future because he's always saying we can have it all or it's all ours. He says that he knows many people have done it before and that their operation is fairly simple.

The Lesson Questions
Why does Sylvia have such a bad attitude towards Miss Moore? What you think are the reasons that she treats her the way she does?
Because she's this optimistic person that lives in her neighborhood which is like the ghetto. Miss Moore is somewhat wealthy and tries to teach these children life lessons and somewhat of and education and Sylvia doesn't like it one bit. She'd rather be walking around doing nothing or just hanging out with her friends. Also, she doesn't like her attitude and it seems as though she just wants to get Miss Moore mad.

EVERYDAY USE!!!
I think when the mother refuses to let Dee have that quilts indicates that its going to be a permanent change. Because it says in the story Dee was always accepted and the world never learned to say no to her. The reason she never did that to her before was because she never has before in her life and didn't know how to break it to her. She does it now because she realizes that Dee wasn't the one perserving the quilts by putting them up on the wall, it was Maggie that was perserving their heritage because she knew how to quilt.

Paul's Lesson: Question 5
5.) Is Paul a static or developing character? If the latter, at what points does he change? Why?
Paul is a developing character because throughout the story he changes and has an epiphany at the end of the story.Everytime in the story Paul would change as he went to the opera or when he was around people of high class. It made him feel special, like he was part of that type of society. Later in the story he realizes that he lived life to his fullest and is happy with himself.
