why would my English teacher assign all of us to read this and make us do one page answer to a question about this story... ALONG WITH AN ESSAY THAT IS DUE ON THE SAME DAY TOO
Damn, I hope I don't gotta do an essay, my teacher just told us to read the pages, all I know is we got a quiz on it, Friday. But I did the same as Dr Scrubbington, put that story on 1.5x Speed. It was so boringggg, kept falling asleep.
I am reading this story and the play "Trifles" for my American Literature class and it was great to hear the words spoken as I read along. The reader's voice portrayed the emotions of the characters very well and helped me to get even more enjoyment from the material.
Enjoyed the narration as it made for a pleasant read. However, would have preferred the narration to be a tad bit quicker as it took her over 53 mins to read 11 pages..
100 years ago, 1916, the original Axe murderer, an emotionally abused wife, was re-storied into a short one act play titled 'Trifles' and the following year, it was developed into a short story titled 'A Jury of Her Peers', a play on words because woman's suffrage had not year happened, or had just begun, but more in the cities. The joke is that women did not have the vote and so could not have been on a jury. The author had been a newspaper journalist and had reported on the original murder years prior. It is a feminist story where the men are looking for a motive and the women ultimately hide the evidence (plural) in an act of solidarity that was more than unusual for the time, when women were seen as property, and subject to the rule of men. ... Note: Susan Glaspell won the Pulizer Prize for Literature.
Premeditated (1st degree) and not a 'crime of passion'; Voluntary Manslaughter; (Murder in the 3rd degree) only because it was not committed on a 'spur of the moment'.
What a great reader,so much feeling and good ENGLISH,thank g-d.cant stand American women trying to read in an English accent,really spoils so many good books.
Just so everyone knows, you can change the playback speed to 1.25x which makes it significantly faster while still being able to understand the words.
Emily Price thanks for the tip!
Yup. Like I have an hour to listen to this, lol
Thank you for your comment!!!
1.50x even better😂😂
I slow it down to 90% so I can fall asleep

frrrr. that is a good example of the community coming together :)

Three dots icon>playback speed. You want 1.25.
in addition to presets you can customize to a speed of your choice; when you go to three dots icon>playback speed, keep going over to the right
Wonderful story, about two women doing the right thing.
yes, helping someone cover up a murder is the right thing.
@@qbcoachfields7683 If that's your takeaway from the story, you don't understand it.
@@drone306 idk if its the "right" thing but it is definitely something that they deserve to be able to do
@@markliberman5296 The situation is a lot more nuanced than just "covering up a murder."
Mr. Wilson should not give us homework
murda on my mind
im confused.....

what kind of murder was it? i personally think it was 1st degree murder
Premeditated (1st degree) and not a 'crime of passion'; Voluntary Manslaughter; (Murder in the 3rd degree) only because it was not committed on a 'spur of the moment'.
Agree
I think it was self-defense; or a very moral murder.
Soo, whi else here for english because she sent yall the copy for you to read.

What are you on about?
Why would an American reader try to read this in a British accent when this story is set in America?
