essay 4 idea draft


  • Not sure wether were supposed to just pick one short story we've read in class or just make connections with all the short stories we've read 
-  "MOTHER TO SUN" by Langston Hughes

Connections

  1. "MOTHER TO SUN" - (struggles of life) don't give up because it got too hard to succeed in life. 
  2. Relate with me dealing with struggling with school and softball at the same time.
  3. Travling and keeping up with grades/ school work.
Well, tell you:
Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.
had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor— Bare.
But the time,
been a-climbin’ on,
And reachin’ landin’s,
And tumin’ corners,
And sometimes goin’ in the dark Where there ain’t been no light. So don’t you turn back. Don’t you set down on the steps ‘Cause you finds kinder hard. Don’t you fall now—
For still goin’, honey,
still climbin’
And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair. 

BY: Langston Hughes

 - "A RASISIN IN THE SUN" by Lorraine Hansberry

Connections
  1. "A RASISIN IN THE SUN"  the short story/ poem  - ( what happened to your dream) 
  2. what I got from reading the short story/ poem is that the dream you're trying to reach for, what happens? Do you give up on it? Do you continue it until you succeed it? or..? 
  3. I can connect this to becoming a biology major to become a doctor one day. The dream I have. Will it come true? or not? 
 What happened to the dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore -
And then run? 
Dose it stink like rotten meat 
Or crust and sugar over - 
Like a syrupy sweet? 

 Maybe it just sags 
Like a heavy load.

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...
