Lilith’s Brood
Do we trust the Oankali? Most of the members of the class said yes. I think we need to reconsider whether or not we really feel this way about them. With a novel full of aliens, in the extraterrestrial context, surprisingly very little seems foreign or “alien.” The opening paragraphs describing Lilith’s cell while “Awakening” […]

A Night In The Box (Or 2 Years)
Lilith’s experience of solitary confinement seemed the most alien concept thus far. The idea of not seeing anyone else (human or otherwise) for two years stretches my comprehensive abilities. I don’t mean that every other thing in the book is acceptable and familiar — not by a long shot. But I can thoroughly picture in […] Continue reading
More Human than Human?
I found one of the most alien aspects of Lilith’s Brood to be how “un-alien” the aliens are. The Oankali are portrayed as exceedingly intelligent, sympathetic, and kind (for the most part) towards all human-kind. Now, they certainly have their own … Continue reading →

Cancerous Orange sounds like a band name
What is the single most alien aspect of the world into which Lilith is thrust? Reading mindfully of this question made one scene stand out more than any other. On pp 67-69, Lilith buries some orange peels in Tiej instead … Continue reading → Continue reading
Changing the Fate of Man

Diseases become the fate of many humans, even the human character Lilith in the story Dawn. But after she wakes up in the […] Continue reading
Panel and Art Analysis of WE3- Page 59
After studying the artwork and panel designs of WE3, I noticed that the art and panels themselves tell as much as a story as the physical actions of the character and the words they say. I found that the art and panels show an alternate version of the same story we get with just actions […] Continue reading
Blog gud?
Well, it’s 11pm. The Fenwick Library computers have gone all HAL on me and don’t want me to open blackboard or load the comic in comiXology. And my phone’s about to die. So much for citing specific pages in the … Continue reading → Continue reading
Comment on We3 by Blog gud? | Press F1 to Resume
[…] Funny how that’s the most human comment any of the animals ever make. I have to agree with forrest- they found ways to write in some […]

Undesirables Unite!
Reading WE3, I didn’t expect to find a story that made me get that throat-tightening sensation when you really want to cry, but hold it inside because you’re in a public place. But I *did* find that story. The cat kills a rat and brings half back for the dog. It’s difficult for me to […] Continue reading
U. R. Bandit
I found page 93 (of the deluxe edtion of We3) to be quite thematically relevant; specifically the bottom left frame. In this frame, we see Dr. Roseanne Berry, in tears, identifying the dog, “1″, by his actual name. Berry worked closely … Continue reading →
