#bsuwlit The marijuana growing amongst the corn is insane! I know that recreational use of it is illegal in New Zealand so this must be how they hide it.

#bsuwlit I loved to see the representation of Māori customs so far in this movie. The washing of hands outside of a graveyard i believe it has to do with tapu and noa. I'm not 100% sure though.

#bsuwlit I would recommend either Zahra's Paradise or Exit West to other readers. These books really brought light to critical problems going on in our world, but the novels did it such an amazing way. I already have my dad hooked on Zahra's Paradise.

#bsuwlit The way that Zahra cried and spoke over the coffin of her son was one of the most moving things I have read. It was truly beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. Her words were so poetic and held so much weight on the problem that is faced by these people.

#bsuwlit The image of the Ayatollah sort of watching and listening during these secret conversations reminds me of the novel: "Nineteen Eighty-Four," where big brother is always watching you.

#bsuwlit I felt a foreboding foreshadowing when seeing how that man tossed those puppies into the water without a care in the world. Perhaps this is a depiction of what larger things are to come later in the story

#bsuwlit I like how the article starts off by showing the perspective of both sides on the matter of using this form of humor by McDonagh.

#bsuwlit Mairead becoming the "Lieutenant of terrorism" at the end of the play by killing Padraic is shocking yet fulfilling. Also the fact that Wee Thomas was still alive just shows how actions were taken without thinking clearly by literally EVERYONE.

#bsuwlit "We don't be letting girls in the INLA. No. Unless pretty girls."
I'm just rooting for Mairead throughout this honestly. I feel like she deserves more than the scrutiny of these men around her. Her character arch is going to be unstoppable.

#bsuwlit I really like how the language of Ireland is included in this play. If I am honest, every time I read the word "feck," I lost it.

#bsuwlit It seems Iike the guy on the train he meets has many interesting quirks. He definitely made me laugh because he was just rambling and didn't care about anyone's opinion. Also the "AYE" killed me.

The use of animals as metaphor throughout Goodison's poem collection is intriguing.

#bsuwlit "Guinea Woman" is absolutely a beautiful way to write about heritage. It doesn't just speak on physical characteristics, but also about the history that her lineage holds for her.

#bsuwlit "Digging" by Seamus Heaney really becomes a poem about how the action of doing "work" is universal. The narrator is "digging" for words to write while he speaks of his father digging up potatoes with a shovel outside his window.

#bsuwlit I am proud of Keiko for standing up against not just Shiraha, but to everyone else and society. In my head I yelled: "YOU GO GIRL!"
I just want Keiko to be happy with her life.

#bsuwlit It is shocking to see how Keiko's sister immediately changed her tone and the way she talks when Keiko mentions that she has a man in her home. This just shows how much pressure her family puts on her for change and marriage.

#bsuwlit I feel like all of us can relate to Keiko in some way when it comes to struggling to fit into the "normal" society expects of us. We all build ourselves off of the people around us in some form to better fit in.

#bsuwlit The way that Hamid made the story of Nadia and Saeed come full circle is heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. They reconnect by texting each other. The same way they connected in the beginning and formed their special relationship.

#bsuwlit “Nadia wanted to take a shower more than anything, more even than she wanted food…she thought her body looked like the body of an animal, a savage.”
This act by Nadia, deemed unnecessary by Saeed, allows her to reconnect with her own humanity. It gives her a degree of normalcy.
