100% engage in the content, but also know when it is too much for you. A lot of the materials are super cool and engaging, but please be ready to get crazy. Read ahead and be prepared to talk; the conversations will help you later in the class.

“These pursuits all induced a feeling of mastery and freedom, but only after learning a complex set of rules regarding harnesses, buckles, and straps. I wanted to do away with constraints entirely. Then I learned about becoming a horse.”

I honestly like the use of dancing in the film. It has has mainly been men as well. I think it helps break the idea of fragile masculinity.

How Alexia’s personality can go from 0-100 so fast is crazy. One minute she is vulnerable the next she is on a killing spree is insane.

I think the contrast between how masculine and guarded she is around men and how feminine and vulnerable she is with the car is interesting.

I just love how Verna has a pretty name with a pretty meaning, while these guys' names are just Bob. Erellivent and boring. #BSUENG490

I think it is interesting how Donna constantly apologizes for the "filth," whether that is in her home or from herself. She is apologizing for being human, pregnant, and having no help around the house (no thanks to her husband). #BSUENG490

"You can do better than that, Precious." (198) This reminds me of The Yellow Wallpaper, where he would call her "sweet" names, like little girl, when they are actually degrading and looking down on the woman. #BSUENG490

The way he is making up identities for these children that fit a narrative that he wants... nasty. #BSUENG490

I think it's crazy how, after all of this, Sam still proposes to Cassie, but it surprised me even more when she said yes. Cassie also undergoes all this transformation to return to the life she had wanted to escape. #BSUENG490

I think the onions really put into perspective for Cassie how easy she can mess up. She has this slip-up where she is mixing her and Lexie up and trying to mold them together, but she needs to lock in and remember that she isn't Lexie and doesn't know everything about Lexie. #BSUENG490

Cassie is definitely enjoying being Lexie way too much. She is no longer her detective self and is instead transforming more and more into Lexie. This is 100% going to screw her over. #BSUENG490

"Consider her burned open. It was an unusual incarnation to be a child of Ala as well as an ogbanje, to be mothered by the god who owns life yet pulled toward death. We did the best we could." (207) Did they? Did they do their best to spare or protect Ada? #BSUENG490
