Breaking Night by Liz murray
We live in an imperfect world. We’ve been reading and discussing Breaking Night by Liz Murray, which
illustrates in detail certain imperfections of the author’s world as she grew up. In your Dialectical Journals and
Blog posts, you’ve been asked to connect this text with other “texts” – which may include other published
writings, narratives, news or scholarly articles, films and other media, topics and issues in American Society, and
even events in your own lives or in the lives of people close to you. It is in that “intertextuality” – the
relationship between a text and other texts – where reading gets interesting, because no published document
or text, or any other public record, exists in a vacuum. explore and
analyze where Breaking Night fits in the world, and whether or not you consider this work to be a positive or
even possible instrument of social change. In other words, your task is to evaluate if this book contributes at all
in making the world we live in a little less imperfect.
