Description
Focus on one of the characters you meet in the first part of the novel, and isolate a moment (substantial quote no longer than a paragraph) that reveals something important about this character and their role in the novel. In your post, share the quote. Then, write a brief analysis of the most important details and how this helps to establish the character you are focusing on. I encourage you to cover at least three of the prompts below: What is important about this character’s identity in a social context (relationship to others)?What is important about this character’s subjectivity, or more interior sense of themselves? What unique questions or themes does this character introduce to the novel? Insofar as we’re broadly discussing what it means to represent history and culture this week, how does this character start to help us untangle that question (or even pose it as a question in the first place)? In what ways does this character’s presence recast or reframe Boston and how we’ve been discussing this area, its communities and histories? Your posts should refer to details from the text and at least one quote. I encourage you to make connections to any of the discussions from the last two weeks. Your responses should be at least 8 sentencesTry to read most of part 1, and follow the instructions above pleaseLink for book: https://zadie-smith.freenovelread.com/40680-on_bea…
