Research Project Drabbles
Being an English major with a passionate (and at times questionable) love of young adult novels, I thought I should center my final project on teen readership. Aside from the obvious issues of lack of black representation in the genre, I had questions about how black teens are reading these texts, and what they’re reading.
When I reflect on my teenage years, most of the stories I remembered reading and loving were supernatural, sci-fi, and… well, white. This wasn’t to say I didn’t read any Morrison and the like, but in the young adult section all the black authors had stories of tragedy. In my time as a teen I maybe came across 2 books that had main characters of color doing “normal” teen things or were in fantasy worlds. Too much of our stories centered on gang violence, slavery, or some tragedy stationed in an ambiguous Africa (shade to publishers, not the authors). I recognized that these stories being told were necessary to our literary canon, but I hungered for stories of black teens being black teens. So with no solution in site I continued to read fantastical novels.
But when I look back I wonder to myself was that really it? Was it because I couldn’t find black fantasy or was it because my environment was predominately white? I wanted to be able to relate with my friends in school and read what they read, and they weren’t reading Octavia Butler, Jamaica Kincaid, or even Sista Souljah. My mom was the one who introduced The Coldest Winter Ever, the novel that spawned street lit as we know it and rocked almost every black girls’ world but mine, to me. My church friends and Del-teens group* (read: my black girl friends) loved the novel, yet I couldn’t even finish it. I hated it and I felt defective for it. I wondered why I could relate or at least sympathize with characters who time traveled, started revolutions, or saw ghosts, but couldn’t find it in myself to even like Winter Santiaga. So this served as a driving force for my project. “How do predominately white environments (in academia) effect black female readership?”
Together with Prof. Manigault-Bryant, we formulated the idea of a book club with primarily underclassmen at Williams to read The Coldest Winter Ever and The Hunger Games to see how black women are reading blackness and alternatively whiteness (in THG) in these novels. So far I expect questions of desiring a mirror vs. window out in literature/reality vs. fantasy, urban vs. suburban environments, and school vs. home in dealing with books to crop up, but I never know what this will bring. I’m hoping for 5 sessions (two with THG, two with TCWE, and 1 wrap-up) to take place in November, but we’ll see.
This is where I’m at now.

سوال 3) تغییر و تعمیر رابیتس راحت‌تر است یا کناف؟
درباره امکان تعمیر و ایجاد تغییرات باید گفت کناف در این بخش نیز نسبت به رابیتس برتری دارد. به‌راحتی می‌توان قطعه‌های گچی کناف را از مجموعه خارج نمود و جایگزین کرد.
سوال 4) کیفیت رابیتس بهتر است یا کناف؟
احتمال اینکه نتیجه نهایی در کناف کاری بهتر باشد بیشتر است، البته به شرطی که یک نیروی کار متخصص و ماهر این کار را انجام دهد. در غیر این صورت رابیتس‌بندی دیوارها و سقف‌های کاذب گزینه مناسب‌تری خواهد بود.
اگر شما هم می‌خواهید بدانید رابیتس بهتر است یا کناف پیشنهاد می‌کنیم این مقاله را تا انتها بخوانید.
