not condemn those documentaries for misrepresenting the islanders because it might still be an effective way to reach those people who “are indifferent to climate except during vacations when they rediscover the world in a clumsy‚ arcadian way” (Rosaldo qtd. in DeLoughrey 245)‚ though. However‚ I do take a different stand on that. By misrepresenting those islanders and belittling their problems the viewer might perceive climate change and its effects as exaggerated or he envisions it differently

In the passage Joan writes‚ “...would like to pledge her a picnic on a river with fried chicken and her hair uncombed…” (4) The fact that Didion is imagining things that she later understands

For this week’s assignment‚ I chose Marcos Souza’s review (Unit 3) of “In Cuba I was a German Shepherd” by Ana Menendez. I really liked his take on the story.
