Native American Commandments
Do you follow any commandment in your daily life? If yes, which ones? If not, do you know any? Why do you think all communities develop these kind of rules? Would these Native American Commmandments heal or hurt nature/people? Post your ideas and tell them to the class!

Wide Sargasso Sea
We have already finished working with Wide Sargasso Sea.
Congrats to all who contributed with your analysis and opinions in lessons!
We have dealt with different topics such as: race (category out of use nowadays but still helpful when needed) and ethnicity; the mirror as a tool to recognise our own identity; motherhood; fire; love; intertexts with Jane Eyre; Obeah; voice; men and women stereotypes among others.
Feel free to enlarge here the topic or symbols you prefer.
cheers!

An Account of a Race of human Beings with Tails by E. W. Cole
- The writer mentions the “discovery” of a “strange nation or community”, he also mentions issues about “evolution". What do you think about it? Explore the story showing how the Europeans feelings toward “the Other” are revealed.
- What’s the name of the people belonging to this community? What does it mean?
- Analyse the importance of the tail for the Elocweans: shape and length, decoration, uses, etc. What can you infer from this?
