Summary:

In our third and final podcast we discuss the ending of Fahrenheit 451, and our takeaways from this read. After spending some time discussing the ending we open up a larger conversation about what could have been and our experiences reading The Classics. With comparisons to Margaret Atwood’s THT, marvel comics, and Hayao Miyazaki, we discuss the bulk of Bradbury’s weaknesses as a writer and the uniqueness of this book.

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 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.

In this episode, we look at the next few chapters through a feminist lens. Both of the parents of the main character, Pecola, have their own chapters, with the mother’s chapter (Pauline) first and the father’s chapter (Cholly) second. We explore the gender structures present in their childhoods and their marriage.

In this podcast you will be be listening to the evaluation of the historical lense throughout the book Nineteen eighty-four. As we begin to speak on the lense you begin to see how in depth the time period and the authors mental state that allowed him to write about his experiences and more or less what the future may hold. As we break down certain key points you see how certain historical moments are related to the thoughts and layout of the themes the author held in the sections we have read.
