  • I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings: Race and Poetic Identity

    Where Jade, an English Major, reads classic and popular books so you don’t have to!
    On this episode Jade gives you some interesting information about Maya Angelou, and then gives you a summary (+ reactions!) of I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, our first nonfiction book, and the first of seven of Maya Angelou’s autobiographies.
    This is actually a reread for Jade, because, embarrassingly, the first time she read it she didn’t realize it was nonfiction.
    Shes does know this book makes her favorites list and she recommends everyone reads it at some point in their lives!
    Stick around for an update on Jade’s bathroom, some fangirling, and some lapsing poetic about how amazing Maya Angelou is.
    Sorry not sorry!

  • To Kill A Mockingbird: Fires, Mad Dogs, Trials, and Children.

    Jade's four biggest fears. 
    Just kidding. She has way more fears than just that. 
    Somehow, Jade was never required to read To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, an old "classic," and she avoided it because it sounded boring. She was a wrong, there is a LOT that happens in this novel, if only someone had told her to read it more than just because "it's a classic." This is a book about a young independent girl learning bout her town, and a society that unjustly punishes the helpless and kind. She learns about herself and her family, and there is at least one fire and at least one fight. 
    Listen to Jade as she tells you a little about Harper Lee (fun fact: she knew Truman Capote), and everything that happens in this old favorite, To Kill a Mockingbird.

    Trigger warnings for this novel: sexual assault, physical violence, racism and hate crimes.
