african studies(1page for each question)

Hello everyone and welcome to our midterm exam voice thread throughout the semester we’ve been reading about and discussing ways in which African-Americans have used literature and other creative meetings to rebel against the established power structures that were and in some cases still are firmly entrenched here in the US. Now at times as you’ve now realized it appeared that African-Americans were completely excepting the status quo and at other times it was violently evident that some have had enough and were willing to fight back even if it meant their death literally or figuratively.

1. Now from the work that we read up to this point I would like for you to select any two and discuss in detail how you understand or see elements of either open or covert rebellion against the established power structure. Now I really need to be completed your thoughts essay or entire work assigned for class but also your own ideas of rebellion found within that piece.

2. The second part of this exam asks that you select any two of your favorite authors who’s worked so far I’d like for you to describe for me why you consider him or her among your favorites and to include what aspect of his or her work your attention I’m looking for you to be detailed enough to demonstrate to me that you not only read the work by the author you chose but also that you can intelligently describe what it was about his or her work that you liked surface level descriptions with little or no detail will receive few if any points.

(please talk about Jean Toomer and his work Cane)
