6TH PERIOD Blog Posting on CONFLICT in "The Ethnics of Jim Crow..." for December 7th, 2018

Of the four types of conflicts in literature, (Character vs. Character, Character vs. Self, Character vs. Society, Character vs. Nature) which conflict do you consider MOST important in any text?



In your blog response, you must:

1. Identify specifically your choice of conflict that you and your buddy consider MOST important in any Literature.
2. Explain what this type of conflict entails (that is, show your audience that you have knowledge or awareness of this type of conflict)
3. Provide SPECIFIC evidence from the TEXT to prove why you consider this type of conflict to be the MOST important. Here, might want to use the CEC (Cite, Explain, Connect) protocol to build your reasoning and rigor for the discussion.

Inside Outside Circle on Kanye West and Slavery

Kanye West and Slavery

Preview the short clipping of an interview that Kanye West had with radio host Charlemayne Tha God and examine the merit of his statement as you prepare discussion of your own points on the topic:

Are we still enslaved today? 

Use your C.E.R template to first plan your Claim, Evidence and Reasoning on the topic.

You may use parcels of ideas from West's viewpoint but you do not have to stick with his point of view.  Remember, an inside/outside circle allows you to argue both sides.
