Emerson College Stone Butch Blues Novel by Leslie Feinberg Discussion Prompt 1 （500 words)

My chosen novel is Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg (CW rape, queer bashing)

Looking at your notes from the first half of the novel you chose to read:

1. Select a moment from your chosen novel that to which you had a big response. Name that response (one word that describes you not the book) and walk us through whether that response was created by your own expectations or it’s something the novel was eliciting. So for example, if you cry when a character’s father dies, but the character does not, that reaction might be a you thing rather than an emotion the text is trying to elicit. Reflect on what you learn from that reaction.

2. Identify a moment from your chosen novel that illustrates a concept from Queer: A Graphic History (other than homophobia, heteronormativity, or heterosexism). Name that concept and use the moment from your chosen novel to explain.

1. Explain why your classmates who didn’t read the novel you chose should have. Use a passage from the novel to help make your argument.

2. You’re in the home stretch of your research project. Tell us how it’s going! Go ahead and vent! Just explain why you’re feeling what you’re feeling and what you can learn from that reaction.
