Week 2 – Racial and Ethnic Identity
Part I:
Name one surprising fact you discovered about any of this week's authors. Why did it surprise you?
Part II:
Most of the works this week were somewhat specific in terms of location. How might the perspective have changed if the events were placed in a another location? For instance, lynchings took place in the North, as well as the South. What is the significance of placing "Song for a Dark Girl" in the South? How would the impact have changed without that information? That is only one example.
Part III:
Although the focus of the week was race and ethnicity, Morrison, Hurston, and Walker present strong female characters. What characteristics do these stories imply are desirable? Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of any one of these characters. Use examples from the text to support your argument.
Submission Instructions:
As with every "main" forum post, please make comments substantive (in at least 300 words). Use quotations to support your points, but make sure to balance them with your own original ideas. Finally, please engage two of your classmates in their forum posts to help further our conversation.

Student Response #1 – Martin
Part I:
One interesting fact I discovered this week is that Native American Author, Sherman Alexie suffers from bi-polar disorder. This has played into his work. Through the depression times he speaks of struggling to leave his bed however, when in the manic state he beams of writing entire novels in two weeks. From this he argues that most of the world’s great art comes from manic periods of an artists life. I have never put much thought to associating great writers and their mental limitations…or might it be their mental strengths. For example, greats like Sylvia Plath who plummeted into depression while still in college. Similarly there was Ernest Hemmingway (one of my personal favorites as he lived in my home state of Idaho) who too suffered from depression and bipolar disorder. (McCann)
Finally, I found it interesting that Alexie spoke of harnessing this disorder and utilizing its powers to produce his works.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Emily Dickinson
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (Amherst,
Massachusetts-10th December, 1830) regarded as
one of America’s greatest poets, is also known for
her unusual life of self imposed social seclusion.
Although living a life of simplicity and seclusion,
she wrote poetry of great power; questioning the
nature of immortality and death, two recurring
topics in the letters to her friends.
3. First Years
• As a young child, Emily proved to be a bright and
conscientious student. She showed a sharp intelligence
and was able to create many original writings of rhyming
stories.
• In response to his father strictness in censorship, she was
highly deferential to her father and other male figures of
authority.
• But, despite her attempts to please and be well thought
of, she was at the same time independently minded and
quite willing to refuse the prevailing orthodoxy’s on
certain issues.
4. In her poetry she didn’t use to use titles very often. The rhyme in her
poems is usually the slant one, within short lines in which she
expressed far-reaching ideas. Moreover, her poetry, which is
amidst paradox and uncertainty, has an undeniable capacity to
move and provoke.
The work that was published during her lifetime was usually
altered by the publishers to fit the conventional poetic rules
of the time.
She died in May 15, 1886 due to Bright’s disease, a chronic
nephritis.
Her work & death
5. Religion
A crucial issue at the time was religion,
which to Emily was the “all important
question”.
The antecedents of the Dickinson’s can be
traced back to the early Puritan settlers, who left
Lincolnshire (England) in the late 17th Century
in order to practice religious freedom in
America.
6. Legacy
• Her first collection of poetry after her death was
published in 1890 by personal acquaintances who
heavily edited the content. But, finally, a complete
and mostly unaltered collection of her poetry
became available for the first time in 1955 when The
Poems of Emily Dickinson was published by scholar
Thomas H. Johnson.
• Despite unfavorable reviews during the late 19th
and early 20th century, critics now consider her to
be a major American poet.

8. A selected poem “A Book” II
She adds that this is a travel all people can do, even
the poorest, without being injured and without having to
pay much. With the words “oppress” and “toll” she may be
referring to how poor people would feel when travelling,
because of having to pay lots of money (a “toll”, a loss of
money, for example).
The two last lines express how the human soul has to
deal with lots of problems, being that “chariot” all the
things we do during our life and that a Spanish poet,
Antonio Machado, will call “way” in one of his poems.
Looking at the poem in general, it reflects how
Dickinson saw life. She would prefer being alone, reading,
rather than travelling, being surrounded by people.
9. My opinion
I like this poem because I feel the same as
Dickinson when reading books (in my case, the
fantastic and adventures ones). Books make us
travel around places we have never been before
or remember the ones we have already visited.
For me, books are important as well as
interesting and astonishing.
10. Before my poem…
I found a poem by Maya Angelou which I
found interesting. Because of this, I would talk
about it and about his author a bit.

In this short poem, Angelou
expresses a typical theme in
literature: the passing time (as she
announces on her poem’s title).

13. My Poem- “The Importance of Ideas”
Ideas are just so difficult to forget.
When one is set on your mind

The world is carried by ideas,
They make it be what it is
And what it can be,
Also what it could be.
Ideas are strong, powerful.
They give us the strength for
Doing great things
Or horrible ones.
Ideas scare me,
But they also delight myself.
They give me my passion
My ambition,
My obsession.
Ideas always depends on
The person who carries them.
But why on earth should man
Use them for doing the bad?
“No idea, mate.”
