@BenDill49759090 This stuck out to me too. If they were able to verbally express themselves, would the fight have been prevented?

I think this story was very interesting. Why is the illness different for various people? #xuengl205

[Maria @Maria70993484]

@mccanne1xu @Lichty_Colette I agree people will find any reason to hate someone and show that they are better, including in health. They were afraid and they chose to show their fear through hatred.

The ending of "The Treatment of Bibi Haldar" caught me completely off guard, but I was happy the people within town continued to help her and that Bibi seemed happy by the end #xuengl205

@GabrickMeghan This was challenging for me as well. How did the time jumps impact the story? I could not figure out the point of them.

[Maria @Maria70993484]

I think "Helen and Frida" took a very interesting take, choosing to portray both figures as sexual women, rather than enforcing their disability as their only trait. They were women with disabilities, not disabled women who did other things. #xuengl205

@GraceBagadiong1 This is something that stands out to me in a lot of literature. The man being blind was his leading, if not only trait within the story. He was given no identity other than being blind.

[Maria @Maria70993484]

I think it's very interesting that Maico himself is in need, but still chooses to demonstrate his power over the blind man when given the opportunity (knocking the can of coins out of his hands) #xuengl205

@katehenny17 I agree, they never mentioned the work she did, and focused solely on her looks

[Maria @Maria70993484]

"Horsie" showed that some people will never appreciate what another person does for them if they are deemed lesser #xuengl205

[Maria @Maria70993484]

@unicorns00343 This also stuck out to me, and the other maids were taking more noticeable things but never mentioned being caught

[Maria @Maria70993484]

I think it was really interesting to see what the cleaning staff was gifted by their employers, such as torn bras #xuengl205

[Maria @Maria70993484]

@dubeckymXU @CharlieS_42 @engl205 I agree, these are both great visual representatives of living in the lower class

[Maria @Maria70993484]

I think Parasite accurately shows how different the upper and lower class live, and how insenstive the upper class is towards the lower class and their struggles #xuengl205

[Maria @Maria70993484]

@Hopkinsengl205 I think she probably had a lot of resentment towards God and Christianity in general, because she was told that God would provide when in reality she had to help herself and rely on herself and her family

[Maria @Maria70993484]

in "If You Ever Find Youself" I think it makes a huge point about how intense emotional ties are when all you have are each other #xuengl205

[Maria @Maria70993484]

@dendadis I like that he explains a few example roles, knowing that they are different for every person and reinforcing the idea that everyone will not fit into the same costume

[Maria @Maria70993484]

I believe the epilogue is a perfect ending to showcase Micheals growth, and to remind the reader to be who they are, regardless of what others want or expect #xuengl205

[Maria @Maria70993484]

@Davidxuengl205 I agree, I think going full out would have helped him grow into his own identity even more. Hopefully, we will see him become more comfortable with himself.
