After reading the assignment as well as Camille's essay, I came to the conclusion that Planet Unflinching by Kelly Cherry was somewhat similar to what she wrote, and can work together. I say this because both Camille's essay and this piece both talk about childhood experiences and how they have an impact on their current lives. Both pieces also address struggles that one may face in their youth, and while they are very different types of struggles, they can still be related to one another. Also, both pieces span the narrator's entire youth, telling how their struggles changed as they grew older as well as stayed the same.

I think it's really awesome how you were able to draw this comparison between the two essays. Personally I couldn't get much out of Planet Unflinching, so that's really neat to me how you were able to connect an essay like that, which seemed so elusive in its meaning, to one like Camille's which was a lot more clear. I envy your connecting skills, Alisha!
ReplyDeletePretty astute. I, like Emily, resist "Planet Unflinching," but I think both pieces show how direct comparison of different ages can be done even in a short space.
