QDJ:

1.      When Hooks said ‘kill the self’ meant she wasn’t writing about herself. When she wrote her fiction writings she often didn’t write about anything about herself. Through ignoring writing about herself, she ultimately killed her sense of self.

2.      No, I don’t believe this writing is bio-myth. She isn’t really writing about being feminine centered but more about the memories that she is regaining. I don’t believe that this has to do much with bio-myth

3.      She writes about a crazy little girl who will grow up only to be crazy – that’s all she can be. I think my own maybe similar except about a kid who will never be anything but childish, I won’t ever be anything other than a child

1.      Yes! We can totally change our identity thorough texts. A prime example: my speech class. I cannot talk in front of a group of people to save my life, when I write my speech I write it as if I am funny and not scared to death to give a speech. I convince myself that I am funny and that people love my speech by writing it confidently.
