FOOTBALL (SOCCER) IS MY LIFE

Artist Statement :In my memoir I used a lot humor similar to Trevor Noah’s memoir and how he used humor and expressed himself and used a lot of comparison to other things or people I would say my writing style is similar to Trevor but not really since this is my memoir and I wanted it to be unique and coming from a neighborhood similar to Trevor Noah.In my memoir I talk about how I use football as a escape in my life from the danger in my neighborhood and how I make my problems disappear with football and how I communicate with people and meet other people also I like the this Diego Armando Maradona (RIP) “When you are on the field life disappears.Problems disappear.Everything disappears.” I use inspiration of this quote in memoir and how I use football to disappear into another world with football and in that world I make problems disappear.Lastly to finish this artist statement with me saying I feel like I made my Catalan ancestors happy talking a little about Catalonia and Catalan culture with Barcelona the capital of Catalonia and our team F.C. Barcelona even though I don’t know much Catalan but I am proud of my ancestry but I just want to fútbol (soccer) is the most beautiful sport to be proud and passionate about in life I got better with other languages I am learning and learned to accept other cultures with this people.

How 1984 Ended

In our third and final episode we explore the ending of 1984 (by George Orwell) with our thoughts while trying to understand the author’s intent.

A list of the the references to evidence used (with page numbers) for listeners to locate as desired

“‘They took me a long time ago. … Don’t deceive yourself. … You have always known it.’” pg. 238-239 Winston’s Reintegration - “How many times had he been beaten, how long the beatings had continued, he could not remember.” (247), bottom half of pg. 257 “ ‘There are three stages in your reintegration,’ said O’Brien. ‘There is learning, there is understanding, and there is acceptance.’ ” (269) “The German Nazis and Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives.” (272) “There will be no loyalty, except loyalty for Big Brother. There will be no love, except love of Big Brother.” (276) “He knew now that for seven years the Thought Police had watched him like a beetle under a magnifying glass.” (286)

What makes me me

ARTIST POST- A way how Trevor’s book impacted my piece is how often he said “he didn’t know where he belonged”. It gave me the idea to talk about what I relate as being a black woman in society. Also on how a lot of black people are able to relate to each other based on how we are treated in life and experiences we’ve had. Something that I notice about Trevors writing style is that he has humor in it. Something else he did was explain different events that happened in his life. I’m not good at writing in a humorous way, so I used his way of explanations to fuel how I write. Going back to Trevor’s quote of never really knowing where he belongs, I relate to that. I don’t know what I am. I don’t know what I’m mixed with or what cultures I am a part of besides being black, so I often take comfort in at least knowing that. I wish I knew more of myself and my history though. Trevor had a lot of moments where he discovered who he was and what is important to him. One big thing that I find interesting is how he was able to connect the whole book to his mother. And how she was his rock throughout his whole life. That was a really cool way to dedicate his book to his mom. You can also see how much he loves his mom with the way he describes his relationship with her and describes her. Like in the beginning of the book on page 13 when he says “We had a very Tom and Jerry relationship” which implies that they play around with each other in a violent way. Trevor’s book showed me that it’s ok not to know your place, that it’s not just me, and that others have or do feel like that too.

Out of body

Reading Born a Crime by Trevor Noah I noticed that we share similar experiences, the feeling of feeling “other” and being conflicted on where you belong. Noah talks about struggling with his identity not knowing which category he fit into most. Noah would mostly write his stories in a humorous manner but there would be times he would be serious and detailed, I decided to take this approach. I wanted to try out the humorous style but it didn’t seem to work out. I decided to use the serious/detailed because even though I joke about my life often I didn’t think that it would fit into my memoir.

In my memoir, I talk about my struggles with relating to African American culture and enduring bullying due to the way I carried myself. The disconnect I felt in middle with African American culture because most of the black kids seen me as “whitewashed” and me trying to fit in.

Fahrenheit 451 Podcast #3: A Good Death

Written by Ray Bradbury and published in 1953, “Fahrenheit 451” tells the story of Guy Montag, a fireman whose job is to collect and burn books in a society where any feelings of discomfort from existential crises to mourning loved ones have been outlawed and the priority is happiness by any means necessary.

From a little bit of Ray Bradbury backstory to what we would change about the book, this loose, rambling podcast offers a chill conclusion to our reading and analysis of “Fahrenheit 451”: one of history’s greatest dystopian novels.

Tiger Talk: Slaying the White Tiger, EP 3

In the first episode of Tiger Talk, we discussed the literal and figurative meaning of the prominent theme of lightness vs darkness present in the novel, alongside other narrative symbols that we’ve encountered throughout reading.

In the second episode of Tiger Talk, we explored the novel through the view of the Marxist lens, analyzing the novel’s discussions around class and wealth. The book’s central metaphor of “The Rooster Coop” alongside the debate between decisions between morally right or not fuel the main topics of this week’s episode.

In this final episode of the series, we gave our final last thoughts on the book and explained what made us choose this book in the first place. We also dove into the intention of the author Aravind Adiga and discussed about his motivation of why he chose the way he wrote those things. It is a heartfelt goodbye as we close out the series, and we thank listeners for watching all of our episodes with an keen interest. We will be back!

Tune in to our dynamic group taking down the White Tiger one final time, with renowned English students Peter Keo, Michal Czapla, Indiya Johnson, Miranda Sosa and Jacob Prunes serving as the hosts.

Long Road Podcast (Final Episode)

Long Road Podcast (Final Episode)

This podcast was the last podcast of the three episode Long Road Podcast. In this episode we discussed many things. First and foremost we talked about the author’s intent with the writing style that he used. We also talked about different motives/reasons that the author had to write a book like this. We also talked about themes that popped up in the book and what they meant to us. There was also conversation about the ending as some of us felt like it was rushed and slightly unpleasant.

Pages Referenced Pg. 209 This gives us a glimpse of that luck that Chris mentions in the podcasts. The father and the son were on the path to starvation but yet again they find resources that they desperately need in a post apocalyptic world.

Pg. 213 This page shows the father having falsely placed hope and that relates to our question about the man’s faith in God and the boy’s faith as well. We concluded from this that they have indirect faith in God. The man for sure the boy moreless.

Pg. 255 While exploring the beach area for more resources someone steals the man and boy’s cart and they later find him and the man takes it back leaving the man for dead. That was an important point because we got to see how people react to situations like this in a post apocalyptic world.

The Thought Police Final Podcast

By: Gia Torres, Zoe Zisser, Ida McGrath, Andrew Bowers, Noor Kreidie

In the final Podcast we introduce the topic of the way the author is writing within the book. His ideas he wanted the reader to pick up on and what to look at while reading from our perspectives. We allow ourselves to talk about how we felt the author portrayed his own life within the text and even the message he was trying to give the readers with the historic ideas and futuristic path he was going through as he was writing. We hope you all enjoy.

The Bluest Podcast 3

Jasir Chavis, Jueni Austin, Lyss Williams, Phoenix Satterfield

The third and final episode of our podcast. We examine some reasons why the author of The Bluest Eye, Toni Morrison, actually wrote the book. A very interesting conversation indeed. She wanted to offer readers stories about blacks, women, and other marginalized characters that hadn’t been told before. This desire seems to have been with Morrison since she was a student at Howard.
