Her writing was simply beautiful and highlights the bright and honest woman that she is. We gain ideas of the different lives that we may not emotionally understand. Her courage in honest is beyond inspirational. #shiftingselves

[Courtney McNally @c_mcnally2]

After reading Mock’s novel, I believed she completely needs to keep living life because her memories make amazing and notable stories #shiftingselves

Although Yunior tells us that “real love is not so easily shed,” yet the collections also concerns that love reaches inwards and love is able to allow one to accept oneself. #shiftingselves

[Courtney McNally @c_mcnally2]

@samanthamaresca By this point of the book, so much has happened and changed for Yunior. All at the same time, Yunior is still, memorably, Yunior. #shiftingselves

[Courtney McNally @c_mcnally2]

@samanthamaresca By the end of the story, we gain a sense of Trust in Yunior, we he is able to trust us - he appears to be to speaking to us like were friends in 2person. “Your girl catches you cheating” #shiftingselves

Jersey Shore is going to bring the country together and everything is going to be ok again

[Courtney McNally @c_mcnally2]

@CourtneyMilla Ive seen this as a common trend across the number of books we have read this semester. We saw it in Erasure, as well. Between Monk / Van Go. Physical features are always highlighted before personality. #shiftingselves

[Courtney McNally @c_mcnally2]

I dont know about anyone else BUT the first chapter learning about the letter and cheating scandal that occurred, reminded me of the iconic “note” from Jersey Shore 😂 #shiftingselves any thoughts?

[Courtney McNally @c_mcnally2]

@sdanko97 @KelseyMcGregor_ I have always found it fascinating learning & being exposed to different types of cultures. Being able to get a “taste” of ones culture really gives outsiders an idea of the important values that one cherishes. Even something as small as language (slangs/etc.) #shiftingselves

[Courtney McNally @c_mcnally2]

@sdanko97 I feel like he is trying to illustrate his eagerness to escape this negative world. He is trying to save those he loves, as Im sure he wouldnt want them to experience the same things he has. #shiftingselves

[Courtney McNally @c_mcnally2]

@Mary76072045 Smith is emphasizing the fact that there are an outrageous # of events that deal with inequality (gender, sexuality, race, etc.). if God is supposed to be this ‘peaceful’ figure & he is the creator of this world. Why would he make it so divided & not loving? #shiftingselves

[Courtney McNally @c_mcnally2]

@sdanko97 I really appreciated how Smith incorporated elements in which young readers, like us, experience daily. He is able to grab our attentions, & allow us to wonder what else he could have incorporated, which to me, makes me more interested in reading further. #shiftingselves

@ericahanson118 ‘elegy’ : a poem of serious reflection. Although this is not a poem, we still see Vance reflect all of the struggles he face from his personal life as he was able to power through all of the difficulties instead of giving up. #shiftingselves

[Courtney McNally @c_mcnally2]

why does Vance feel the cycle of generational poverty is persistent in the Appalachian region? Why is the American Dream particularly elusive for the residents of Jackson and Middletown?
#shiftingselves

[Courtney McNally @c_mcnally2]

Vance views his accomplishments to be 'ordinary' but remarkable at the same time. Very few people in his community accomplish "ordinary" things. It provides the justification for writing this memoir. This raises the question - What does it mean to be ordinary? #shiftingselves

[Courtney McNally @c_mcnally2]

"I didn’t write this book because I’ve accomplished something extraordinary. I wrote this book because I’ve achieved something quite ordinary, which doesn’t happen to most kids who grow up like me." #shiftingselves
