It excites our contempt and yet we rather admire it. Why shy away from it with an odd kind of revulsion, but we protect it.”]]> 2018-10-18 16:44:33 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294485029 Key Quotations chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294485270 2018-10-18 16:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294485270 chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294486005 “Lies, injustice, and hypocrisy are a part of every ordinary community. Most people achieve a sort of protective immunity, a kind of callousness, toward them. If they didn’t, they couldn’t endure.”]]> 2018-10-18 16:46:01 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294486005 chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294487094 “She isn’t stupid. She’s intelligent enough in a purely feminine way. Eighteenth-century France would have been a marvelous setting for her, or the old South if she hadn’t made the mistake of being born a Negro.”]]> 2018-10-18 16:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294487094 Harlem Renaissance Women chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294487715 2018-10-18 16:48:39 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294487715 chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294488322 “The trouble with Clare was, not only that she wanted to have her cake and eat it too, but that she wanted to nibble at the cakes of other folk as well.”]]> 2018-10-18 16:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294488322 chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294488800 “She was caught between two allegiances, different, yet the same. Herself. Her race. Race! The thing that bound and suffocated her. Whatever steps she took, or if she took none at all, something would be crushed. A person or the race. Clare, herself, or the race.”]]> 2018-10-18 16:50:26 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294488800 chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294489272 “She wished to find out about this hazardous business of passing, this breaking away from all that was familiar and friendly to take one’s chances in another environment, not entirely strange, perhaps, but certainly not entirely friendly.”]]> 2018-10-18 16:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294489272 chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294490108 “I’ve often wondered why more colored girls … never ‘passed’ over. It’s such a frightfully easy thing to do. If one’s the type, all that’s needed is a little nerve.”]]> 2018-10-18 16:52:29 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294490108 chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294490670 “Was she never to be free of it, that fear which crouched, always, deep down within her, stealing away the sense of security, the feeling of permanence, from the life which she had so admirably arranged for them all, and desired so ardently to have remain as it was?”

It was the most brilliant exhibition of conversational weightlifting that Irene had ever seen.”]]> 2018-10-18 16:54:26 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294491300 chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294491894 “Strange, that she couldn’t now be sure that she had ever truly known love. Not even for Brian. He was her husband and the father of her sons. But was he anything more? Had she ever wanted or tried for more? In that hour she thought not.”]]> 2018-10-18 16:55:23 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294491894 chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294492493 “Brought to the edge of distasteful reality, her fastidious nature did not recoil. Better, far better, to share him than to lose him completely. Oh, she could close her eyes, if need be. She could bear it.”]]> 2018-10-18 16:56:20 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294492493 Harlem New York chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294730807 2018-10-19 09:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294730807 Nella Larsen Passing chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294734839 2018-10-19 09:31:59 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/American_Literature_term_1_week6/wish/294734839
