Here is our English 102 group blog spot. Now all we have to do is read a LOT and comment (again a LOT) about it here. Oh yeah, and make a link here to your personal blog. Happy posting!
i would like to discuss question 1 for Entering into the Serpent and How to Tame a Wild Tongue. the author seems to be translating some key words that are essential to the reading. i wasn't sure what to do with the rest. i though this lack of translating in the How to Tame a Wild Tongue essay was great in putting the reader in the position of not understanding as the writer and the people she describes must have felt. i have spanish speaking relatives that i went to to ask for some translations. What did you guys think?
question 2 of Stranger in the Village: i googled and found that Edward Franklin Frazier is a Howard graduate and leading American sociologist and scholar who created empirically based knowledge that was useful in solving problems affecting Black people. He wrote over 100 articles and nine books that challenged traditional research used in the social work field. i think the author created strangers and companions to make the reader feel what it is to be in a foreign land better (?) he talks about himself being a stranger in the village to show how different cultures are and how the way people responded to him village had totally different intentions and motivations than the way people in America did. what do you think?

I was hoping that it would recognize that reference and make it a hyperlink, but alas. You can get to Tom's site by clicking here.
And this is me posting as myself instead of the group.
