Prompt 1.1: Look over the major course themes and meta-topics in the chart below. Select at least one (1) major course theme and one (1) meta-topic for discussion. What is your take on how these themes and topics are conveyed in the assigned short stories from Drown? Length of recording: three (3) minutes.
Prompt 1.2: When linking Junot Díaz’ Drown (1996) to a literary tradition, critics consider Drown as a sort of throwback to the Nuyorican literature of the 1950s and 1960s. In particular, Díaz’ autobiographical collection of short stories is most often linked to Piri Thomas’ Down These Mean Streets (1967): the first in a tradition of heart-wrenching memoirs portraying ghetto youth struggling against the conditions of life for urban Black and Latinx youth (Paravisini-Gebert 165).
Based on your own readings of the excerpt from DTMS and selected stories from Drown, in what ways are these texts linked and in dialogue (despite being published nearly thirty years apart)? Length of recording: two (2) minutes.
