i had a feeling they wouldn’t end up together, which i’m sad about, but i’m glad they’re finally becoming their own people. as much as i love them, i did not love their codependency. maybe they get together in the future! #bsueng230

@SamuelCBSU i agree! i really liked how he showed multiple versions of what asian-americans / asian immigrants experience #bsueng230

[brigid @brigmaguire]

both danny and chin-kee being jin and the monkey in disguise was not what i expected at all! but it ties in as well with the fact that their storyline was written as a sitcom, so it was kind of like them playing characters / acting! #bsueng230

zahra’s paradise is making me confront preconceived notions i had about iran. slightly uncomfortable but so worth it to learn more! #BSUwlit

[brigid @brigmaguire]

i love the 3 different narratives, but i especially like jin’s and the monkey king’s! the monkey king’s storyline with tze-yo-tzuh is my favorite so far #bsueng230

this is exactly how i imagined connell #bsueng230

[brigid @brigmaguire]

i did not expect the ending at all, but it’s certainly an exciting one! #bsuwlit

“It feels powerful to him to put an experience down in words, like he’s trapping it in a jar and it can never fully leave him (163).” #bsueng230

so it seems to be that her mom ��allowed’ the abuse from her father to happen to Marianne and then allows the way Alan treats her to continue, and while it doesn’t specify the level of abuse he obviously uses aggression towards her

[brigid @brigmaguire]

i really want to know more of Marianne’s family situation because it’s obviously not good or healthy, the biggest glimpse we get of it is on page 68 where it says “Denise decided a long time ago that it is acceptable for men to use aggression toward Marianne...” #bsueng230

“You eliminate the parts of your life that others find strange—maybe that’s what everyone means when they say they wants to “cure” me (pg. 94).” #bsuwlit

[brigid @brigmaguire]

since i always like to read into the class workings in what we read, i’m excited that it’s more explicitly discussed in this book! #bsueng230

[brigid @brigmaguire]

referring to him as Saint Vinnie was definitely the best part

[brigid @brigmaguire]

i like the st vincent de paul food pantry poem as someone who has volunteered there a lot but also received help from them #bsueng230

[brigid @brigmaguire]

howard just cannot keep it in his pants oh my god #bsueng230

[brigid @brigmaguire]

we are seeing more of Zora and while I like it, I think it’s interesting, and telling, how Zora thinks of Carl during their conversations #bsueng230

“...and so you needn’t let that slightly funny feeling you have from time to time about exploitation, oppression, domination develop into full-fledged unease, discomfort; you could ruin your holiday.” (pg 10) #bsuwlit
