Surprisingly, this blog post is perhaps one of the most exciting because through it I will map out the various aspects of my final project which is a media portfolio reflection of the novel The Illegal. I feel similar to how Keita would feel running his marathons; one step at a time brings me closer to the finish line.
There are many fabulous options for this portfolio, but I have decided to complete the following: a narrative essay, concept map, blog post, and a short google slides presentation.
Thesis Statement: Through a reader response perspective of the novel The Illegal by Lawrence Hill, readers gain a stronger empathetic understanding of the plight of refugees and those who live on the borders of society.
One of the major topics in the novel revolves around the moral topic of refugees. Another theme in the novel is Keita's running. As such, for my essay I want to link the story of refugees-their struggles and tribulations- to the aspects of running. How the endurance and hardships that come with running can be applied to the story of various refugees.
Concept Map
This concept map will take a closer look at the terms and ideas that are associated with refugees with respect to Keita. It will compare and contrast tolerance and intolerance.
Blog Post
My blog has already been set up for this unit, so please feel free to read my other post on my analysis of the novel from various literary perspectives.
All portfolio submissions will be made on this blog site, so if you would like to follow, please feel free to do so!
