In this section, you will be asked to explain the meaning, significance, and context of a given quote from one of the texts studied in class. You should discuss the quote’s relevance to the work as a whole, its themes, and any literary devices used. Avoid simple summarizing or restating the quotation. Instead, talk about the significance of the quote to the passage as a whole. In no fewer than 3 sentences, explain the significance of the following quote from Octavia Butler’s Kindred: “His father wasn’t the monster he could have been with the power he held over his slaves. He wasn’t a monster at all. Just an ordinary man who sometimes did the monstrous things his society said were legal and proper.” Note: This quote is about the character Tom Weylin, the father of Rufus Weylin.
