My Work and Themes of 1501

I have noticed that my work intersects multiple themes that have been discussed in English Literature 1501. Although my work isn't as 'hands on' as tutoring a third grader, my work does involve many different themes, they just may appear hidden and take some thought to uncover them.


The first theme that I noticed, which is pretty obvious, is feminism. Seen as though VG is a website devoted to women, it was one of the first themes that I saw when I stared working. The next theme that I noticed was race, which again, is pretty obvious because VG is not only devoted to women, but to only women of color.

Although the themes may seem obvious, they would more accurately be described as what Dr. Dan refers to as the iceberg effect. Themes appear to be obvious, but there is a lot more to them than what you see at first glance. First, the site isn't just colored women writers and artists promoting themselves, in fact, a majority of people working for VG happen to be white, and even more suprising is the majority of white men.


My work involves both of these themems becasue it only consists of working with women of color. When I transcribed an interview, it was of a colored woman, Nora DeLoach. Being a white male and working for an orginaztion that specalizes in these two themse of feminism and race, I get a sense of 'helping' the causes.


And remember, VG is all new: check it out!
