I thought the presentations overall were really funny and entertaining. Some were better than others, in terms of keeping me interested and awake, but it seemed better to me when a group used pictures,power points or even video clip to entertain the audience rather than blatantly speaking on their theory.I really liked New historicism and my own groups,Queer Theory, since we used video clips to even help the audience picture what had happened.

"Postcolonialism theory consists of a set of theories in philosophy & various approaches to literary analysis that are concerned with literature written in English involving colonialism and imperialism." Their group used Aria to discuss how two different cultures can clash when trying to determine what a persons cultural background is, to how should they act around the public. That to be an American or a Citizen of a given country you must give up your social identity and adjust and assimilate to the cultural background set by that country. '

Also after hearing on the African American criticism i realized both our groups shared common literary terms such at the binary opposition and the "other" to show how Africans are discriminated against such as gays in a point in time in American culture. I really dove deeper and felt the connection between the two theories.
