“The man’s touch had been a bridle, and I’d kicked it away.”
This quote really stood out to me--it's not only a literal recounting of her kicking away a man, but her rejecting traditional patriarchy via becoming a horse. #BSUENG490

"Wayfaring Stranger" was on the radio when the car crashed at the start of the movie #BSUENG490

#BSUENG490 I find it interesting that the car that "impregnated" Alex was painted with flames, and now she's assumed the identity of a fire captain's son

#BSUENG490 Interesting how Alexia's preferred form of violence is penetration

#BSUENG490 it looks like Alexia's "blood" is some dark, oil-like substance...

#BSUENG490 I really like how the radio cuts out when the car crashes, since the volume was increasing up until then

“So you went on to get married and have children and a normal life, just as if nothing ever happened. Whereas for me...”
Isn't this how it usually goes? The victim's life is forever changed and the perpetrator is allowed to move on without skipping a beat. #BSUENG490

“She was hooked up to machines that made her breath bubbly, and for days the only sounds she made were the same turkey gobble and drowning spew of a newborn…” (Rahill 99).
I like this connection to Donna’s grandmother’s end of life and the birth of a newborn child--very cyclical. #BSUENG490

“But I think humor is such a crucial technique for reproducing inequality and injustice.” (Ahmed 261)

Snakes and birds both often symbolize transformations, which is interesting to consider given the theme of this class! #BSUENG490

I really like that Binti’s mother was the first person to answer her call. At the start of the novel Binti thinks to herself that she will be disowned by her parents by leaving, but her mom proves her wrong. #BSUENG490

“As we reclaim our literature, poetry has been the major voice of poor, working-class, and Colored women.” (Lorde 290)
I found this quote really interesting! I feel like we analyze audiences more than why certain groups might be drawn to writing in certain genres. #BSUENG490

Obviously we know that "Binti" takes place in a very technologically-advanced future, but I wonder how long it took to get from the start of space travel to intergalactic universities. #BSUENG490

This reading reminds me of a project I did last semester in Disability Studies (ENG 495—take it!). I noticed that the male video game characters with disabilities were often infantilized when compared to their able-bodied male counterparts. #BSUENG490

Cassie is getting more and more entrenched in her life as Lexie—but how long can she keep this up? She keeps having slip-ups… #BSUENG490

Cassie seems to be letting her guard down more and more… drinking and forgetting that “she” got stabbed? Not to mention her continuing to keep Frank and Sam in the dark about her discoveries. #BSUENG490

Just like Cassie, I’m struggling to decide how I feel about Justin, Daniel, Abby, and Rafe. I have my eye on Daniel in particular—but could this be a red herring? #BSUENG490

Despite the article being over 10 years old, the discussion of post-feminism is still an important one. Things like the “M-She-U”, online insults about Bella Ramsey’s appearance in “The Last of Us”, and the pearl-clutching about Sabrina Carpenter’s music come to mind. #BSUENG490
