#367britlit A great mini-thesis, and it can be applied in many historical contexts outside of Milkman.
YES! I feel like you called this early too! This is such an interesting aspect of NLMG #367britlit

I really like how you connected his detail-oriented language to his irreversible personality changes
#367britlit
the comparison to these characters is *chefs kiss*
#367britlit i like this scene and the interpretation i had but i think the thesis i wrote was a little weak and needs to be a tad more argumentative. im not sure how i'd do that as of now but there's promise.

Really interesting idea here. Especially when thinking about post modernism.
This MT is so good and so true! To me, it represented the power that women can have over a community's social guidelines as well #367britlit
#367britlit I love that Liv was able to connect architecture and aesthetics to sexuality! It's genius close-reading.
I think this is so comprehensive of the ideology that Milkman represents and the massive effect on society that he had even with just his presence. #367britlit
Totally agree. From her first chapter I had a feeling this is where we were going. She just wanted some semblance of love, but with someone who could not give it back in the way she needed. #367britlit
I remember seeing this when it was posted, and it has stuck with me since #367britlit

Love the connection between the story events and time period context.
A very good MT from Paige that I like, as it references how "normalcy" to Barry = heteronormativity #367britlit
#367britlit I feel like this mini thesis is still strong, as it speaks to how violence is the main language spoken in Middle Sister's community in "Milkman"
#367britlit loved atonement and the dynamic of Briony's character within the novel and i think this MT perfectly states her role in the novel

MT: The frames themselves tell a complete story, but footnotes add context and present an alternative narrative that is presented at first glance.

Ada saving the girl is symbolic of the scary newness the machine would pose to the people seeing it for the first time.

"His name isn't even George! It's...Eric!"
Ah yes. Panic doxxing another fake name. Feel like I would do that lol.
I'm a huge comic book fan, and something about full page splashes with the main character shown multiple times to illustrate movement tickles my monkey brain.
Side note- this is why my computer made the embarrassing sound - not allergies

Ada debugging Victorian bureaucracy and dreaming in math? Iconic. Babbage arguing with street musicians and imaginary numbers? Peak chaos. Steampunk meets snarky footnotes = pure joy! #367britlit #lovelaceandbabbage
#367britlit The machine creates a whole new world of its own almost with its own ecosystem and definitely has a lot of fauna.

MT: Texts in conversation create dialogue between authors. George and Lovelice do this here for Alice in Wonderland and A Room of One's Own.
