I like how Moraga recognizes & admits she’s had privilege. She’s exposing everything about herself rather than lying to the audience#chst404

The Berlin Wall is a great example of a divide/border, a nice change from the norm of relationship between the US and Mexico #chst404

Cherrie seems fully invested in her students and their writings. You can tell that teaching is very important to her. #CHST404

It was interesting to read what moraga had to say about her mentor after doing much of our own interpretation of anzalduas work #chst404

Death, or trying to come to terms with death, surrounds all of Moraga’s writing #chst404

Not sure how to feel about Moraga saying that Anzaldua gets reinterpreted as a tool for the hegemony. I wasn’t taught it that way #chst404

I agree with Moraga that todays school system isn’t suited well to our students needs, especially with controversy behind…#CHST404

Kelsey’s response:
When Moraga was accussed by Anzaldua of plagarism, she wrote “I do know she spoke of “plagarism”.I was stunned (117).” Moraga probably thought she was just adding to the ideas that she got from Anzalduas piece, not plagarising. However, such confusion of rules and understanding that people have I think relate to the confusion of what each woman stands for in the womans movement. Even though we see the like thinking of Moraga and Anzaldua, they still held different opinions for “The Bridge called my back”. Moraga endorsed what ” The Bridge called my back” stood for with the diversity of the Feminism movement when Anzaldua didn’t support the diversity of what the book stood for. I think the Feminist movement is seperated into women who want the movement to represent all the different aspects of the movement(like Moraga), and other women who want the movement to represent seperate issues of women.
