#367britlit A great mini-thesis, and it can be applied in many historical contexts outside of Milkman.
MT: The killing of dogs and cats, while obviously being a threat/warning to those causing unrest, also showcases the way that the British view the Irish as animals that they can simply slaughter if they become too annoying. Its another way of dehumanising the opposition.

They contrast one another. Okwe maintains a very indifferent posture to life, keeps quiet. However, Senay shows exactly how she feels, questions, and openly tells how she believes.

Despite her devastation throughout the novel, it honestly still shocked me that Carmel was the one to make the choice to walk away. It ended well, but I wasn't expecting it, especially with the tight hold she had to her religious values #367britlit

Barry admits out loud that he is gay and says he is “proud of it”, in Chapter 10. This is a big shift from previous chapters..yet he still prefers comfort over life with Morris. #367britlit

I know it's unrealistic, but I wish we could have heard from Lola. About why she was comfortable in her silence, letting Robbie be accused instead, marrying Paul, etc. Those situations are never simple, but we don't get hear from her. #367britlit

How does an older Briony carry what she condemned Robbie to as a child, in a deeper sense than just wanting his forgiveness? There is a comment made about Briony looking for him in the injured people she is caring for.. #367britlit

An eerie connection between the fits Tommy used to throw as a child, and his screaming into the woods after finding out there are no deferrals. A deeper sadness, a deeper loss, and having to fully accept his life will end as a human organ market.. #367britlit

How much does the visual aspect of what is in front of us impact how we react?
In "The Werewolf", the wart is enough to condemn someone to death.
In "Lady of the House of Love", her beauty and seduction is more important than her odd behaviors, twitching, or what he sees in the house #367britlit

Is there a reason that Alice's size means so much to the people in Wonderland? Is it strictly because it's different from them, or is there something deeper? If they are all "mad" or "odd", what makes her "oddness" out of place? #367britlit
