Elaborate on TWO features of Palestinian Poetry, one from Linah Al-Sharif's poem and one from Susan Abulhawa's. Give textual evidence.
Also (optional): for your last social media posts, go tweet to Linah and Susan Abulhawa on Twitter and tell them you're studying their texts and maybe what line you like or what you like about their poem/poetry. Post the screenshots.
The book has several poems written by Islamic University-Gaza, English Department students. Go through them and post an extract you like.
