For those of you ready for a break from all this heavier reading, we'll have the opportunity to continue some lighter reading re-visiting the Chinese Perspectives, begun three weeks ago.
Localizing themes: Othering, Identity, Racism, Euphemisms, Myths and Legends vs. Reality, Artistic Expression, Idioms and Stereotypes, we will all read two Gene Luen Yang Graphic Novels: American Born Chinese and The Eternal Smile, (also by Derek Kirk Kim).
Of course, these will be available in limited quantities in our downstairs library and a few copies of ABC for in-class reading only.
So, if any of you have copies in your local libraries, feel free to begin reading as soon as possible (asap). Keep in mind, we still have about a week of Huck Finn and the Gilded Age, [How is Twain's returning Tom Sawyer another BREAK FROM REALITY? as well as the highly controversial ending and some final thoughts concerning The Hypocrisies of Morality/Courage and "sivilised" peoples], however most of you have finished this novel and these Graphic Novels are extremely quick easy reads.
Remember to get all reviews of recently read books on GOODREADS

Enjoy!

The moral virtues, then, are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature, indeed, prepares in us the ground for their reception, but their complete formation is the product of habit.
