The short book Buddha In the Attic was portrayed very nicely in the presentation. The book is about Japanese picture brides who come to America but are surprised to find that they have been deceived. The book focuses on segregation and racism. Important event that occur are the bombing of Pearl Harbor and then World War two is started. The novel is written in a novel like way and this make it beautiful in a way.
The Republic OF East LA presentation was very well done. I especially enjoyed how the group played the recordings of some of the poems that the author has done. It is a book of short stories each one has a major theme. The major themes are abandonment of family, discrimination, struggle for work and money, search for culture and identity.
The Winters Bone presentation was also very interesting. I enjoyed how the group showed the books comparison to the movie. The book is about Ree who goes on a quest to find her father in order to save her property. It was interesting to find out that in real life this place is so corrupt that the sheriff was convicted for distributing drugs. Major themes are poverty, corruption, drug abuse, negligence and the connection between place and identity. overall all presentations were done very well.
