Smaller cases integrated into Stevenson's telling of Walter's case highlight his admirable persistence in times of turmoil. Themes include racial oppression and legal defiance.]]> 2021-04-27 01:56:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tanjoanna1/pro4x2h96ha580o0/wish/1462341782 tanjoanna1 https://padlet.com/tanjoanna1/pro4x2h96ha580o0/wish/1462400190 Yossarian, a soldier unvoluntarily drafted into the war, loses hope of ever leaving alive when he sees how inhumanely colonels and officers treat subordinates. Catch-22 involves a paradox: one can only be discharged from military service due to insanity, but one cannot claim insanity to avoid dangerous missions, as any sane person would. The story incorporates more examples of circular reasoning that both frustrate and entertain readers. Additional topics include inevitable death and exploitation of power.]]> 2021-04-27 02:19:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tanjoanna1/pro4x2h96ha580o0/wish/1462400190 tanjoanna1 https://padlet.com/tanjoanna1/pro4x2h96ha580o0/wish/1462576855 Though I haven't read this book since the 5th grade Scholastic Book Fair, I still remember its story. Jewell Parker Rhodes describes the challenges that 12-year-old Lanesha overcome in order to survive Hurricane Katrina. Themes include supernatural beings (Lanesha was born with a caul that supposedly allowed her to see spirits), death of loved ones, and independence. ]]> 2021-04-27 03:33:04 UTC https://padlet.com/tanjoanna1/pro4x2h96ha580o0/wish/1462576855 tanjoanna1 https://padlet.com/tanjoanna1/pro4x2h96ha580o0/wish/1462595770 I imagine what it would be like to have an extended family gathering. All my relatives remain in China, as my parents were the first to immigrate to America. The last and only time my sister and I visited China was in 2014. I admire my parents' independence and fortitude. They didn't have anyone to rely on, and yet they've been so successful.]]> 2021-04-27 03:42:58 UTC https://padlet.com/tanjoanna1/pro4x2h96ha580o0/wish/1462595770 tanjoanna1 https://padlet.com/tanjoanna1/pro4x2h96ha580o0/wish/1462632341 Minority women have to work overtime to make their voices heard.
