Discussion Post: Sociology Reflection on a Story
You will write three-page reviews of a story from the book. Your grade will depend on how closely you answer these questions:-
1) Discuss why you chose the story you did, what was most compelling to you?
2) Name 2 concepts we have discussed in class that connect with the short story of your choice?
3) Discuss what glaring differences, (if any), present themselves between the way you understand life in the US and life in the countries presented? What similarities are there?
4) Are there any themes of oppression, resistance and resilience that stand out?
5) Who is telling the story? What is missing? How could they have told the story differently?
6) How did the story help you understand other people? What did you already know? Again, what ideas and concepts from class can you use to discuss what is taking place?
7) What would you like to add to the story?
8) What questions do you still have?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
