I can't help but feel like a lot of the -lessons- we're supposed to be learning from this literature (the complexity and danger of binary thinking, are lessons that most people learn through. normal life. And in my experience, it seems the people who learned these lessons from literature or study, never really internalized the lessons and apply them. They can discuss them on a theoretical level, fully, and completely, but they don't -live- them, at least as well as we would all hope.
Whereas, those who have the mind and the experiences and opportunities to learn these lessons through living, don't even think of them as lessons that need to be learned, it's automatic. They can't describe them or discuss them because it's as natural as breathing or thinking. Like trying to describe the air around you.

Male-female binary thinking came about in the times when we used to live in caves. The men had to be strong to go fight beasts and bring back meat, while the women stayed back and tended to fires and children. If the man died, the woman simply moved to another cave and was either accepted as a second wife or rejected and turned away or murdered, sometimes by the already present female. People forget, now that the world is mostly monster free, this idea that women's place was in the home was originally a manner of putting the females lives first, as the birthers of the species.

Am I wrong to think that it is kind of sentimental BS that a victory of imagination is somethign that could combat systems of oppression? Systems of opression are torn down by organization and action, or through comprimise and power. You can't fight the KKK with a hug

Wow, this was AMAZING! I've read Sula at least 5 times, and listened to the audio book even more. This put into words all the complexities within the novel in a very accessible way. Thanks!

I did not know of this story before, but the title peaked my interest. You see, I am Honduran, born and raised, and my hometown is called San Pedro Sula and it is located in Sula Valley.

Talking about the negatives of binary thought processes, then using binary examples to explain the deeper themes of the novel. I personally find no logic in this video.

): 30. Yes. I am just coming off our Lord of the Flies unit and I personally hate the book with a passion. I would definitely love to read Sula instead.
