P. 126 biblical reference. "Blessed are those... the Light." Revelation 14:13 states "Blessed are those who die in the Lord."

Significance of the village girl attaching "Ji" to Lakshman's name. Usually an expression of respect.

"Nothing offends a man so much as being ignored" (362), yet Lamin and Fern go on to ignore the narrator... #21lit

@lucas_c113 @slalor8 Page 353 "I didn't set my eyes on Tracey again for eight years." #21Lit

[Nate D @natey115_D]

@lucas_c113 @slalor8 I believe it was Tracey's letter that sparked this shift. #21Lit

Picture of the "golliwog" on page 350.

[Nate D @natey115_D]

@slalor8 I agree. Furthermore on page 226, the narrator describes their education system as a "structural issue." #21lit

[Nate D @natey115_D]

"It was Hawa's unfortunate duty to silence all of this."(225) Shows the narrator's discontent with the teaching methods at the school.#21lit

@natey115_D "who comes for the girls" p. 166 #21Lit

[Nate D @natey115_D]

Interesting to see the gender divide in the "Mandinka" culture as well. #21lit

Im quite confused about the conversation between Lotte and Bridget. Is Lotte attempting to fake her death?? #21lit #confused

[Nate D @natey115_D]

@slalor8 @fostermccune19 maybe her "hallucination" is a reflection of her discontent with her new siblings? #21lit

@fostermccune19 I agree. Even though we don't know much about his character, he provides us with necessary info about the narrators past.

"Translucent form of plexiglass...massive hand... which took to imply some sort of computer screen" (348). Hand metaphor for circle? #21Lit

[Nate D @natey115_D]

@brian_ross17 @fostermccune19 Mae was "hypnotized" by shark -> same qualities present at the "Utopia" (circle) #21lit

[Nate D @natey115_D]

@brian_ross17 @fostermccune19 I actually saw the shark as a metaphor for the circle. Both the circle and the shark as transparent & powerful

@V1cky17 seems as if the whole community is centered around a social hierarchy ( p101). Position is determined by other's opinions. #21lit
