#fys03xu Carley I love how your color scheme was and everything on it it was organized very well and it was nice to read looked like a real website and hit everything it was supposed to.
#fys03xu I feel like the most interesting part of the second half of the novel was when the Medusa started to be a good thing. It wasn’t explained very well, and I feel like it needed that. It was a unique turn in the story.
#fys03xu The end of Binti was exciting. I feel like I learned a lot about African futurism. Although the book felt rushed at some points, like when all her friends were killed, I think it was important to read and African futuristic novel and learn more about it
@jaydennowlin1 I liked all the descriptions and unique story lines. It’s a nice little change to the stories that I am used to reading. It really helped show was African futurism is about #fys03xu
#fys03xu this book is really cool so far. I think it has some really exciting scenes, and i am looking forward to the second half. The characters and the story are very unique to compares to what I’ve read before.
@giantaward#fys03xu I liked how she included some excerpts from her books because it gave us a look into what reading Afrofuturism is like, or like what we can expect from Binti
#fys03xu Okorafor gives us a clearer definition of Afrofuturism. Her stories use strong, powerful, independent African characters to help eliminate single stories and stereotypes
@YungerAlex I am also interested in learning a lot more about Afrofuturism. I like how it works to eliminate the single story and stereotypes created by single stories. #fys03xu
@izzyAr23 I am also excited to read an Afrofuturism novel. I am excited to read something that doesn’t only focus on the single story that has been created around this group. #fys03xu
#fys03xu Nnedi Okorafor writes books with diverse characters. From her book reviews, it sounds like her books help eliminate single stories and stereotypes
@AdamMaida15#fys03xu I agree, the single story can definitely allow us to become ignorant towards different people and places, which is why it’s important to educate ourselves so we can avoid stereotypes
