Analytical Response A. Feathers

Journey of Jack and Fran
Jack and Fran have been invited to have dinner with his good friend Bud and his wife Olla. Fran right off the bat gives me the impression that she really does not care to go to the dinner but goes because her husband Jack does. Upon arriving Jack and Fran immediately encounters a peacock and are curious of why it is happening or why Bud calls the peacock Joey and yells for it to go away as if it know the bird. Fran and Olla immediately exchange looks as Olla looks at Fran’s long blond hair and tall thin body, as Fran sees Olla, a heavier person with rosy cheeks and an apron around her waist. Bud and Olla have a baby that is sleeping when they arrived. Jack and Fran do not have any children and weren’t really thinking about have one until later in their lives. Bud’s house contained Olla’s old teeth mold on the counter and that help Fran’s attention for the beginning of the night. The baby crying Olla brought him to the table to rock in her arms. Fran and Jack couldn’t believe how ugly the baby was. Even though the baby was ugly, one could easily tell how much they loved the baby and they were so proud that it was theirs. It was obvious that Bud disliked the peacock and only got for Olla because she wanted it. Bud and Olla’s lives were a lot different than Jack and Frans and I think they noticed it. That night I think they felt inspired by how Bud and Olla lived, and wanted to be like them. However, along came the baby and the family was not like Bud and Ollas there love was not as strong as before and I think they just liked the idea of Bud and Ollas life.
Recap of Journey:
• Jack and Fran are cute couple with no kids
• Go to Buds house and witness his lifestyle
• Jack and Fran wish to have love like Bud and Olla
• Have a child
• Life changes its harder for them not as happy as they were before

This choice was the mapping of the character's journey and choices. I know you had trouble loading it up. It would have been interesting to see what you thought were the pivotal moments and symbols and how you might of portrayed them in the map.
