The lives of women in the Congo and how they are impacted by war and violence, English homework help
I am turning this discussion over to each of you so you can demonstrate your ability to provide a critical commentary on a play. Nottage’s Ruined raised many topics for us, among them:
- The lives of women in the Congo and how they are impacted by war and violence
- Mineral rights in the Congo and how the desire for these leads to violence
- Rape as a weapon of war / sexual violence
- Social constructions of masculinity and femininity — gender roles and patriarchal culture
Post a 3-4 paragraph discussion that presents your interpretation of a topic in the play. Your response could be a analysis of a particular scene, a character analysis, or a discussion of a theme you see at work in the play. Your response should bring in one of the secondary readings, as well as quotes from the play itself to exemplify your points (provide page #s!).
To post your response, click “create thread.” Doing this will set up an individual thread for each of you so that conversations can build from there. Your subject line should highlight your posting focus. Don’t forget to respond to at least two classmate postings as we usually do for our discussion activities.
