#honglit #gharib #bonustweet this read was my favorite this semester not only because of the use of her graphics, but also Bc she is able to connect w immigrants as well as stay true to her culture as well as navigate the American culture. Great read, I loved it!

#honglit #gharib this is cool and different .. the illustrations are amazing and I feel one with the book (If that makes sense) the words paint a picture of what growing up in America is like. Malaka’s customs / adaptation is something that is sticking w me as I read this

#honglit #mootoo #bonustweet I like the cultural diversity in this read .. all of the emotions that comes w diversity is deff seen in this. The language is familiar, yet new. Bonus tweet my song is hunger by Florence + the machine .. thank me later 😝

#honglit #vietgone #bonustweet The themes in this play are different then everything we have read so far .. bravery, resilience, and love .. (that’s what I’ve gotten so far) bonus tweet My happy food is hands down ice cream .. a little ice cream a day let’s happiness stay

#honglit #vietgone #bonustweet I’m loving this love story 😩 i love reading love stories because it takes me out of my current world and into a happy lovey one. LOL. My random fact about myself is that I loveeeee doing word search puzzles. I’m obsessed.

#honglit #badenglish #bonustweet I liked this short story because it reminds me of our current world were living in .. the authors words are very relatable to everyone (regardless of race) my spring break activities will Including going to the beach w my dog💛

#honglit #kindred #bonustweet ok so far my favorite kindred character is Kevin. He’s complex and aware .. there but also in his own world .. supportive but also understanding. Bonus tweet - my favorite animal is my dog, duh 🤪🐶 💛

#honglit #kindred #bonustweet octavia butlers words / imagery is keeping me on my toes .. there should be a movie to this novel. Bonus tweet- a fictional universe I would want to live in would be is I don’t know 😩 hmm .. maybe narnia from the Chronicles..🤔

[Jess @JessM6794]

#honglit #kindred #bonustweet I am enjoying opening a new book I’ve never heard before! This time travel idea is interesting. I love how you can connect w present day events from reading this novel .. Bonus tweet - a skill I want to learn is how to play the piano!

@ProfCKHong #HongLit bonus tweet- if I had the time, one skill I would want to learn is scuba diving 🤿 🌊 I am a fish at heart 🐠💛

[Jess @JessM6794]

@andreana042 Yes I felt like I was going through the emotions with the characters as well!

[Jess @JessM6794]

@ProfCKHong #honglit kindred - I really enjoyed this reading. It was interesting to read the different emotions the author was describing and relating to each character. As the reader, you were fully able to understand perspectives & emotions.

#HongLit bonus tweet; I would pick noodlesssssss to eat for the rest of my life ... now I’m hungry 😋😝

[Jess @JessM6794]

@Saeedah77567406 Totally agree .. love the imagery the author made the readers create while reading her words

[Jess @JessM6794]

#HongLit my favorite reading this week was Choi’s .. “To the man who shouted...” this was my favorite because of the intense words the author used but as intense as she was, she was also submissive. I think she wanted the “shouter” to catch both sides.

[Jess @JessM6794]

#HongLit bonus tweet .. my favorite childhood book was “I was so mad” by Mercer Mayer .. loved this author as a child! Illustrations were so funny to me 🤣

[Jess @JessM6794]

@Tiana3151 I had the same reaction! Our hearts really are our guides

[Jess @JessM6794]

@mary_l24 Often times fear is what stops us from major achievements!

[Jess @JessM6794]

#HongLit J Harjo poem was my interpretation tension between heart & mind 🧠💛 .. it reminds us to hear our hearts voice over the chatter in our brain. Great read as well 😊
