Extended Response 1-2 Paragraphs each


 * 1) "It's true that we must make a new world. But we can't make it out of whole cloth. We have to weave the future from the fabric of the past, from the patterns of aspiration and belonging - and broken dreams and anguished rejections - that have made us. What the advocates of our dangerous and deepening social amnesia don't understand is how deeply the past holds the future in its grip - and, even perhaps especially, when it remains unacknowledged." Explain how this is significant to you. What the importance is to the present as we know it.
 * 2) "Ralph Ellison expressed the central meaning of the blues better than anyone. 'The blues is an impulse to keep the painful details and episodes of a brutal experience alive in one's aching consciousness,' Ellison wrote, 'to finger its jagged grain, and to transcend it, not by the consolation of philosophy but by squeezing from it a near-tragic, near-comic lyricism. As a form, the blues is an autobiographical chronicle of personal catastrophe expressed lyrically.' In that sense, this book is a kind of blues expression that urges us to confront our rage, contradictions, and failures and the painful history of race in America....there is no clean place in this story where anyone can sit down and congratulate themselves." What is this story about then? What does this statement mean to you?
