Prompt
Looking at your notes from the first half of the novel you chose to read:
1. Select a moment from ”Rat bohemia“ that to which you had a big response. Name that response (one word that describes you not the book) and walk us through whether that response was created by your own expectations or it’s something the novel was eliciting. So for example, if you cry when a character’s father dies, but the character does not, that reaction might be a you thing rather than an emotion the text is trying to elicit. Reflect on what you learn from that reaction.
2. Identify a moment from your “Rat bohemia”that illustrates a concept from Queer: A Graphic History (other than homophobia, heteronormativity, or heterosexism). Name that concept and use the moment from your chosen novel to explain.
