In this weeks reading what I thought was most interesting was when the naked white guy tried to get into Miss Celia's house, and that whole episode. I thought it was fascinating when Miss Celia took on such a non-stereotypical gender role, and beat the creepy dude senseless. We saw a significant change in gender identity, and we learned a little bit more about Miss Celia (she was a bad-ass! :)) Any other white lady would have screamed, hid under a bed, and hoped that their help would take care of things but nooooo Miss Celia got right up in there and protected Minny. I thought it was great that we could see a different side to her. Also I thought that the whole situation was kind of awkward. everybody try to comment!
Yeah seriously it was kinda awkward, but I was pleasantly surprised with Celia all through out the book she was just sort of a little annoying creeper... so it was nice to see she actually had another side of her which yes was pretty bad ass. I'm really glad that Celia stood up for Minny and proved her point pretty plainly to that white guy! He just got SERVED!
ReplyDeleteI agree, also its rare to see a women take her anger out physically, rather than mentally, so i thought it was interesting to see that unorthodox behavior for a woman. Oh by the way, I am actually the lead blogger this week.
ReplyDeleteI also think that she definitely took on a non-stereotypical gender role, and i think she was so good at beating him up because of her (white trash) background. Which is also funny because she is married to such a NOT white trash man.
ReplyDeleteOpposites attract, they're so cute together, and she is so much better than Hilly, in every way possible
