Our sister Killjoy part 1

This was the most interesting lecture that we had so far. I love to do a literary analysis of a novel like this. This, mixed in with the new African aspect, made a very educational class. The video of Ama Ata Aidoo gave the contextual information that is necessary to fully grasp the text to its fullest, and I feel that this added an extra layer to the analysis. Every class, there is a new confrontation with the cultural differences between Africa and the Western World, and I believe that these differences should be acknowledged and catered to.

This novel really shows the societal and educational value of literature, which makes it the more valuable. I am really glad that I chose this course, as it mekes me see literature in a different, more societal light, and less in a theorethical light. 

I especially liked how we established the difference between African feminism and Western feminism, which is so interesting to me. It really shows that experiences are personal and not universal, and that culture and history have a huge impact on the development of ideals and values. This class connects literature and society in a way that no other class has before.
