Do Won Lee - Week 10

Do Won Lee

Section 2 

Week 10

            This week’s reading is the introduction to the anthology named, Fight the Tower. In the introduction, Professor Valverde and Professor Dariotis list off the different sections of the anthology that are cleverly alluded to the Star Wars series. Each section is comprised of different written pieces from different authors of varying ages, backgrounds, and experiences. The introduction goes through the reasons why this anthology is being created and how it came to be. The introduction does a good job to show how diverse the anthology is.

            The introduction includes a lot of names of different contributors, and I think it’s amazing that an anthology of this caliber is being produced despite the forces against them. Each contributor in the anthology has their own piece to contribute for something greater. I think it’s interesting how throughout the quarter, we were able to read small pieces of the anthology and know more about its authors. It also shows how the problems faced by the authors are relevant to our lives because they’re also pieces included in the class syllabus. The anthology is proof that people are congregating and the current mode of education will be challenged. The efforts of many people and lives are brought forth into the anthology and I hope their efforts will pay off.

            My question: How difficult was it to find all the contributors to the anthology and was it difficult to organize the start of the anthology?
