Once again a successful tweeting/blogging assignment as a means to discuss and analyze text @ENGL4401 #learningthroughtechnology

[Ashton Mantle @ashton4401]

My Home vs Homeland idea has changed significantly after reading these novels/plays @ENGL4401 #relfecting

[Ashton Mantle @ashton4401]

BoN vital to Canadian History, helps to show knowledge that isn't known in our country. Needs to be accounted for. @ENGL4401

[Ashton Mantle @ashton4401]

Nova Scotia = broken promises, the Idea of Slave better because at least the indiviudal got room and board #devastating #notfree @ENGL4401

[Ashton Mantle @ashton4401]

The meeting with the King and Queen was probably something I believe could have been left out @ENGL4401 #highlyimprobable

"She stepped forward and threw herself into me with such vigour that she newly knocked me over." pg.521 #15yearswaiting #reunited @ENGL4401

"It was almost impossible to get into Africa, but easy to be taken out" pg. 500 #BoN #sadtruth @ENGL4401

Aminata is hardly "free" once she reaches NS #discrimination @ENGL4401

[Ashton Mantle @ashton4401]

Canada is constantly trying to rewrite their multiculturalist identity of the countries past mistakes by celebrating difference @ENGL4401

[Ashton Mantle @ashton4401]

Important to understand that Canada's multiculturalist identity wasn't always this way. i.e. African people leaving Nova Scotia for Freetown

[Ashton Mantle @ashton4401]

The kidnapping scene (miniseries) did not hit me emotionally like the novel's scene did. Not enough struggle + too short @ENGL4401

[Ashton Mantle @ashton4401]

Aminata's story is remarkable and that stems from the improbable events that come to surface @ENGL4401

[Ashton Mantle @ashton4401]

hopelessness when attempting to overtake the ship shows the idea of welcoming death rather than slavery @ENGL4401

[Ashton Mantle @ashton4401]

amazing that the BoN mini series got the recognition it deserved by winning several awards at the CSA's and the Directors Guild @ENGL4401

[Ashton Mantle @ashton4401]

Watching the BoN was extremely sad yet definitely needs to be watched by everyone @ENGL4401

[Ashton Mantle @ashton4401]

I feel as though Kims Convenience would turn into a drama rather than a comedy if made into a 1 1/2 hour movie @ENGL4401

[Ashton Mantle @ashton4401]

I enjoy how the show has elaborated on the source material because it allows the show to become its own #alotcanhappenintenyears @ENGL4401

[Ashton Mantle @ashton4401]

#kimsconvenience is relatable on so many levels that it is almost impossible not to enjoy. #culturaldifferences #familydynamic @ENGL4401

[Ashton Mantle @ashton4401]

Its awesome to see that the second season of #kimsconvenience will dive deeper into the family dynamic #especiallyAppa&Jung @ENGL4401

[Ashton Mantle @ashton4401]

Live Skype session with @SimuLiu !! #kimsconvenience #veryhumble #thankyou @ENGL4401
