Description

For each weekly discussion, I want you to find an example from each assigned text of something that you feel is still relevant or at least resonant to the world we live in today. You will tell me what that example is, and then you will explain why it is still relevant or resonant. So, I expect to see the following in your first post:

1. One example from Oroonoko that has some relevance or resonance to life today.

2. One example from "A Modest Proposal" that has some relevance or resonance to life today.

For this first week, to give you some examples, you might look at the relationship between Oroonoko and Imoinda and see something that you think relates to couples today. Or you may find a theme or idea in "A Modest Proposal" that, while different today, is still very present in the world we live in. I am not looking for a "right" answer as much as I am looking for you to have completed the reading and to have some thoughts on what you read. Keep in mind that this format also means that plagiarized answers, where people cut and paste what someone else has written (or badly attempt to paraphrase by simply changing a few words), generally show up pretty obviously, as I can tell folks are simply regurgitating what they find on websites.

Discussion Questions

1. The literary work “Oroonoko” by Aphra Behn centers on the topic of racism, which is an
ongoing issue that has recently been heightened in America. The work discusses how an African
prince named Oroonoko must adapt to his new life as a slave and is treated differently (Behn
136). Racism is apparent in the statement “the while proportion of air of his face was so nobly
and exactly formed that, b...
