My Lens for Beloved:Race

I chose race and cultural because I like to see how a book develops based on what the person's race is. I think that looking into the lens of race can be seen in many books and the author usually focuses on one race. My personal beliefs are that there was a racial divide between whites and blacks and that creates a hostile situation. Many books have a racial divide that affect the way the book was written and the ways different races interact with one another. One lens that I thought about choosing was historical lens because I like to see how the background and history of the author affects the way the book was written. I didn’t choose this to be my lens though because I find that the interaction between different races is important in a book. The racial divide can usually be seen in a book and I like looking at that and how it affects the essay. One thing that I’m hoping to get out of this project is to become a better writer. Also focusing on one idea and expanding my own ideas around this one idea.
