=Persuasion Game Page for Jury=

This page is for the Jury to share information with the rest of the class. The Jury may also use this page to work out arguments and debates collaboratively (just remember, everyone in the class can see your page). If you have an important document you want your classmates to read before a game day, put it here and make an announcement on the Announcements Page. Please remember to sign all your additions to the wiki with the four tildes (~) so that Dr. Lake can easily identify your contributions.

Game 1: Sir Walter Elliott As the jury, I think we have to be aware of the fact that Sir Walter did avoid marriage "for his daughters' sake." While everyone else had a motive to see him not marry, the book says it makes no sense that he didn't. It states that it made sense for Lady Russell not to marry, but it seems he was almost expected to remarry.1316173094

Hey Group 3 :) I have gotten ?s from Beka and Tony via e-mail, and I wanted to be sure that we are all on the same page. Try to include pages from the book for where to look for answers. That way when I post on the wiki tomorrow it is clear that we put some thought into it. Use the digital book you can find under Gateway for Games in the wiki. Go to resources. Then you can type in Sir Walter or a topic and the digital book will give you all passages that it included. Also, we need to be considering the other characters in their respective order, as the Benwick presentation is Wed. and info must be posted by 5pm Tues as I understand it.

Look forward to hearing from everyone by tomorrow at 4pm!1316290512

I found and awesome resource to give more backround of the novel. Go to libraries.wright.edu and click on Databases tab, then choose the Alphabetical list option. Click on the top result, Academic Search Complete. Then type in Jane Austen Persuasion and the character or topic you want to know about. I used marriage, since it seems integral to the decisions made in the novel. I found a good article from an academic journal called "Making it in a Brave New World: Marriage, Profession and Anti- Romantic Ekstasis in Austen's Persuasion" that sheds light on Jane Austen's views the character's choices relative to the time peiiod in which they existed.1316293257

As of 4:20 on Sunday, I have only received ?s from Kara, Natalie, Aja, Tony, Michael, Shanell, and Rebekah.Oh, and me. Try to make sure those of you that are not listed have some deep intellectual ?s to just blow us away on Monday. It'd be nice if you had 12 copies since we haven't had the opportunity to see and print them beforehand. (Printing it all on one or two pages and cutting it into twelve is fine to save trees and $. Again, try to refer to specific passages. Here are some common ?s that we already have repeats of, so try to avoid them.

-Do you believe Sir Walter did not remarry for the sake of his children, or because he could not find a woman worthy enough? Was there another reason why Sir Walter Elliott was so decisive when choosing somebody to rent Kellynch Hall? Do you think sir Walter agreed to let Anne marry Wentworth at the end because he is now rich or do u think he wants her to be happy? Why does Sir Walter Elliot take the beauty of people so serious, do you think it is a reason so he will never marry again? 1316378086

I just got this ? from Toria and I really love it. Sir Walter is not an entirely evil character, he is just the representation of the average old titled man of this time. He is comically ridiculous; if he is considered so bad based on his actions and lack of affection, how can you distinguish him this way when this is how all men acted at the time? 1316384245

1. Is Captain Benwick still in mourning or disrespectful when he promise Charles and Mary he will visit Uppercross? He tells them he would be delighted to come and shoot with Charles, but then does not attend. one of 1316546089 ?'s


 * As of 4PM, I have received ?s from Toria, Shanell,Tony, Michael, Kara, Rebekah, and me. Try to have questions or issues that you would like to hear addressed by each side on paper in class Wednesday so we know what we're looking for from the other teams. I have e-mailed a copy of all the ? to everyone, here are a few that gives an idea what issues we want to see covered:**

When Benwick gets engaged to Louisa do you think is he recovered from the death of his previous Fiancee or is this just a way for him to deal with his grief?--Shanell 1. Is it possible to assume that Captain Benwick unintentionally led Anne on with no intentions of actually getting with her? --Michael 1316550242

1. When Benwick made the decision to marry Louisa, do you feel that that showed that he had grown as a person or do you think, that just how he resorted to love poems to deal with his loss, that him wanting to marry Louisa so soon, was just another unhealthy coping mechanism?- Marisa 1316569793

2. Although many compare Anne and Benwick, do you feel that that is fair, considering Benwick had faced so much loss and grief in such a short time. Its not far nor safe to make these assumptions, considering we are not aware of how he was prior to these traumatic losses.-Marisa 1316569793

One of my two questions: Mr. Elliot is greedy and deceptive, but what man from that time period was not? Most of them married for money and not love. They would deceive woman into marrying them for properties and wealth. He is a stereotypical man from the late 1700’s.He marries for money and after his wife’s death he wants to gain a possible title and the kellynch estate by marrying Anne. He has great manners and even Lady Russel said he was “an extremely agreeable man.” All of his actions are to gain wealth. 1316718267

Questions For Sir William Elliott 1316721587

1. The book says that Sir Williams wife had only been dead for six months and he was already looking for another wife. What do you think his motives were for marrying his first wife, and what do you think his motives are now, for pursuing after another wife? Chapter 1 page 6 1316721587

2.In Lyme when Anne had first saw Sir William, although at the time she did not know who he was, what do you think truly captivated her attention, and do you think that whatever that factor was shows how much of a manipulator Sir William Elliott really was and can be?

Chapter 11 page 64 1316721587

Do u think that Wentworth is all that good of a guy? On page 45 is says that he really didn't like Dick Musgrove and was just as ready to get rid of the boy as his family was.

Do you think that when Wentworth enters the novel for the first time is he really still in Love with Anne? On page 41 Mary told Anne that he told Henrietta That he thought that he features were altered. If he really still loved her at that point then why would he say that her face was so different that he couldnt recognize her? 1316966204

Was it wrong for Captain Wentworth to allow the marriage proposals with Lousia when he clearly knew he could never love her like Anne? Pg. 161 “ He persisted in having loved none but her.” Pertaining to Captain Wentworth’s love for Anne

How can Captain Wentworth be wrong for showing no affection toward Anne during their time at the Musgrove’s? He is simply respecting Anne’s prior decision to not marry him. my e-mail is not working 1316978774

Do you feel that Wentworth was justified in carying a grudge towards Anne, considering if she would have married him there was a high risk that came with her marrying him in the first place?--Marisa

Wentworth was said by Anne in the novel to have manners that were above reproach. Yet after he first saw Anne he told Henrietta that "[she was] so altered he should not have known [her] again." How does this emulate a man of good character?1316982737
