essay one reflection

1.  After reading the book The Brief Wondrous life of Oscar Wao, my general reflection on it is that I did enjoy learning about Dominican Republicans through Oscars life. Also I like how it included Marvel and DC comics in it because I'm a big fan of those types of movies. Over these past six weeks what has been challenging is the reading was difficult when it had Spanish words/ sentences because I don't know Spanish at all. 
2. In my opinion The Brief Wondrous Life Of Oscar Wao is an example of good literature because it gives historical background on Dominican Republicans. Also it talks about Comics.

3. My general my feelings about essay 1 are that it was a little challenging to write because it was sometimes hard to figure out what I wanted to focus on with what topic I wanted to choose. the research wasn't hard to do or find it was pretty basic overall. the drafting part of this essay was probably the toughest part just because your putting your idea draft together but if you have a good idea draw it shouldn't have been too bad to write the essay draft.

IDEA DRAFT

Oscar Wao draws heavily from popular culture. Comics as well as fantasy, science fiction, role playing games, film and music - to the extent it can even be considered a culture odyssey of "geekfom" in 80's and 90's America The majority of comic book references in the novel are from DC comics and Marvel universe like global icons such as batman and superman and popular series like X-man, the Fantastic four and Watchmen one source I might use is : Desai, Ahmad. “Superheroes in Love: The Role of Alan Moore's Watchmen in The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.” Academia.edu , 22 Dec. 2014, www.academia.edu/19025540/Superheroes_in_Love_The_Role_of_Alan_Moore_s_Watchmen_in_The_Brief_Wondrous_Life_of_Oscar_Wao. The narrator of the Oscar sections is no stranger to a geeky allusion he repeatedly refers to himself as a Watcher yet he does not share in the same social awkwardness as Oscar in the book it shares a non-linear structure jumping back and forth in time  ...

Bell Hooks

In my opinion I feel that race, gender, class, and sexual orientation is not an important thing to know about the authors I will be reading in school.  When Bell Hooks says " Th at   white world made me doubt myself. And in the space of that doubt I needed proof that they were all wrong—that there are great writers who happened to be black, just as my beloved Emily Dickinson happened to be white." When she said this I thought to myself that she meant that everyone is equal and the same as white people in  writing. That it didn't matter if you were a African American or white writer because you could be a great writer no matter what race you are. She says how Emily Dickinson is a writer who she beloved who happened to be white just as she was a writer who happened to be African American. So don't judge a authors writing base off of there ethnicity. I think that it should not be an issue or concern that you need to know the...
