The purpose of this site is to serve as a model for Mrs. Shumate's English II students as they create their own book blog, research paper, and creative component for their book of choice. The model entry for the student About page is below.
My name is Whitney, and I'm reading Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Adichie is a female writer who tackles complex social issues in her work, whether it's through op-eds, novels, or TED talks. Through the experiences of the main characters, Ifemelu and Obinze, Americanah discusses the challenges African immigrants face as they try to reconcile their identity in their new home.
My site houses my reading blog, my research regarding the African immigrant experience, and the art that I created to express my response to Adichie's work.
