ASSIGNMENT: Monday, September 14th:
The class discussion focused on Big Mav and Carlos
Key points:
-Big Mav and Uncle Carlos are in conflict with each other. This is in large part because Uncle Carlos views Maverick as being a bad influence on Lisa due to Maverick's criminal past. This conflict is also informed by their opposing views on law enforcement.
-Maverick is distrustful of the police. We discussed how his past as a former gang member and other potential police interactions set him up to have a confrontational relationship with the police and how this relationship would inform his distrust of the police as an institution.
-Uncle Carlos trusts the police because he works for them. He is part of the system so most of his interactions with it are positive.
-These conflicting viewpoints play out in Starr as she struggles with whether to speak with the police or not, as well as how she wants to speak with the police. Mav and Uncle Carlos represent two sides of the conflict that is playing out in Starr, as she is influenced by and cares about both of them.
******Assignment*********: Complete the handout below: Distance Learners: You can send an email with an explanation of Starr's environment and how it affects her- use paragraph format for both Williamson Prep and Garden Heights.
