Readings: Sandra Cisneros, âWoman Hollering Creek,â 1991 (1399-1408); Jenny Boully, âA Short Essay on Being,â 2010; Zohra Saed, âWhat the Scar Revealedâ (and the others on that page if youâre interested!)I hope you’re enjoying the final three texts we’re reading this semester. For your final response to them, write a post in which you respond to some aspect of one of these texts. For example:
What function do the telenovelas play in “Woman Hollering Creek”?
Why would Boully’s persona say “thank you” rather than correcting some of her incorrect commenters in her essay, “A Short Essay on Being”? ( a quick note: thanks to one of your classmates, the link to this story is now correct!).
What do the indications of setting (time/place) do for your experience of reading Saed’s poem, “What the Scar Revealed”?
Write a post with the category Homework Responses and the author’s name. Comment on one classmate’s post. If you have more than one idea, write about one and leave the other question or writing prompt at the end of your post for the next person to comment on.
To come shortly: a request for a post summarizing and reflecting on your glossary entries. Details to follow…
If you have questions about your video presentation, due on Friday, feel free to reply to this post to ask in an open forum, or email to ask privately. Remember, you can choose any text we read this semester, from Week One all the way through this week.
