Eng Sojourner Truth Ain’t I a Woman

For Discussion Forum Response #2, choose one literary text/poem from weeks 3 and 4 and examine it in about 2-3 full paragraphs (8-15 sentences long per paragraph), quoting at least twice from the work(s) for support. As a reader, I want you to think critically about the texts assigned, choose one aspect of it (setting, characters, author's argument, its theme on war, women, race, sex, violence, culture, patriarchy, conflict, feminism, addiction, etc.), and examine it with textual support. Think of this as a  reader response that asks you to examine, explain, and defend your  reaction to a  reading. You can explore why you like or dislike the reading, explain whether you agree or disagree with the author's points, identify the  reading's purpose, and critique the text. Do not waste any time summarizing the story to us. We have all read it, so introduce the title, the author's full name, and jump straight into analysis with a focus on ONE idea, argument, position. Review the model reading responses I provide in Week 1: Orientation folder.
