In this study the issue of sensationalizing racism and police brutality bring to light a growing problem. Ross raises the question of who decides what racism and what police violence becomes coverable in the news. The concept of how ironic it is that society relies on media for information but also allows it to govern our ideas of racism is relevant to Whitehead's Nickel Boys because the same things essentially play out in his story. ]]> 2022-11-25 17:44:28 UTC https://padlet.com/hfarra00/9b7lwi4jf8kui17u/wish/2398174444 hfarra00 https://padlet.com/hfarra00/9b7lwi4jf8kui17u/wish/2398180646 http://0-search.ebscohost.com.libcat.uafs.edu/login.aspx?direct=true&db=e000xna&AN=1218897&site=eds-live&ebv=EB&ppid=pp_Cover

"Willful white mishearings and auditory imaginings of blackness"
This quote is what drew me in. Stoever covers some great concepts and realities with her work. The most relevant to my idea of irony in Whitehead's Nickel Boys is how black people are "given" the expectation of behavior, but are then brutalized for both, adhering to that expectation and for not meeting that expectation. This is the premise for what what happens to Elwood and what ultimately allows Whitehead to create his story. ]]> 2022-11-25 17:55:10 UTC https://padlet.com/hfarra00/9b7lwi4jf8kui17u/wish/2398180646 hfarra00 https://padlet.com/hfarra00/9b7lwi4jf8kui17u/wish/2398185063 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10677-020-10105-z

Great study on the various uses of irony that can be seen in much literature. Certain segments, such as "the disruption of our practical Identity" and "moral suspicion" and "moral" imperfection can be tied to the situational and dramatic irony Whitehead relies on for readers to tap into their understandings and bias. I will use this source to help explain each type of irony in the story.]]> 2022-11-25 18:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/hfarra00/9b7lwi4jf8kui17u/wish/2398185063 hfarra00 https://padlet.com/hfarra00/9b7lwi4jf8kui17u/wish/2398187322 http://0-search.ebscohost.com.libcat.uafs.edu/login.aspx?direct=true&db=ccm&AN=155919368&site=eds-live

A source that highlights disparities between white and black children in foster care. In particular, how it is ironic that white systems don't want black workers, yet due to the lack of black representation, black children are not treated fairly. This ties into the Nickel Boys, Dozier School etc. ]]> 2022-11-25 18:07:58 UTC https://padlet.com/hfarra00/9b7lwi4jf8kui17u/wish/2398187322 hfarra00 https://padlet.com/hfarra00/9b7lwi4jf8kui17u/wish/2398189868 http://0-search.ebscohost.com.libcat.uafs.edu/login.aspx?direct=true&db=ehh&AN=153364868&site=eds-live

Scherff designed a lesson plan with several essential questions for her students.
1.  What are the different forms of racism in the novel?
2. How does power operate in the novel?
Both questions lend themselves to a discussion of different opinions and views on race and power. I hope to discuss several different possible views and highlight bias/irony in them]]> 2022-11-25 18:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hfarra00/9b7lwi4jf8kui17u/wish/2398189868 hfarra00 https://padlet.com/hfarra00/9b7lwi4jf8kui17u/wish/2398191094 http://0-search.ebscohost.com.libcat.uafs.edu/login.aspx?direct=true&db=ehh&AN=155923385&site=eds-live

What a sad term! I want to use this terminiology and its explanation to show how Whitehead is both telling readers this exists and showing them through determination we can fight back.]]> 2022-11-25 18:15:49 UTC https://padlet.com/hfarra00/9b7lwi4jf8kui17u/wish/2398191094 hfarra00 https://padlet.com/hfarra00/9b7lwi4jf8kui17u/wish/2408123350 Music is an amazing way to convey messages not previously realized.

Since music is important to most people using it to speak about social issues, racism, and other oppressions stand to reach more people. It stands to reason that including an important message or call to actio in a song would have a positive outcome.]]> 2022-12-04 17:04:56 UTC https://padlet.com/hfarra00/9b7lwi4jf8kui17u/wish/2408133907
