Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Today we look at "Lamb to the Slaughter" by Roald Dahl. Why is it Ironic? We talk a bit about how this is such a great Irony teaching tool.

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! This week we look at "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury. A great piece that explores the war and post-war effects. Extinction is an important thing to talk about when it comes to the escalation of power that happens. Let's talk about it today!

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! This week we talk about "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The usage of oppression and symbols of the wallpaper and what the wife sees is incredible.

**UPDATE** We liked this story so much, we wanted to compare it with "Sweat" by Zora Neale Hurston which has some similar themes explored in a different manner. At the end of that video, we have a segment where we compare these two short stories and themes. Please feel free to check it out for more comparison notes: https://youtu.be/g87mIBBjubw

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Today we jump into Books 1, 2, 3, 4 of "The Brothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoevsky. We're going to move at lightning speed through just some of the analysis points we want to talk to. Let's be honest, you could make this video 12 hours and you still couldn't cover it all! We're looking at sensual lust, amoral bugs, the moral argument, the class divide, and more!

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! A look at does race matter? Recitatif by Toni Morrison explores what one does with knowledge of race? What happens when it is obfuscated? Toni Morrison hid the black and white elements from us for this story with Roberta and Twyla. Who did you think was which race? Did it matter? Would you think differently if you knew? We found very thought-provoking questions from this work that is a masterpiece of literature. We hope you guys enjoy it as much as we did.
