For my final essay, I am committed to focusing on The Deep. I will focus on the trauma that lingers from history. With that, I will be building off my week thirteen blog post, so my working thesis is based on that and will most likely be changed as I continue writing. The author’s language in her metaphors of cavities, holes, and vessels of Yetu and the wajinru people depicts how knowing history and or lack of knowledge of your history impacts a person. In lieu of some research, from the article “Salvaging Utopia: Lessons for (and from) the Left in Rivers Solomon’s An Unkindness of Ghosts (2017), The Deep (2019), and Sorrowland (2021)” by Megen de Bruin-Molé, there is much to discuss in how history and sharing history in kinship is important not just for the community that is impacted but for those outside that community too. This allows and helps me discuss characters outside of the Wajinru such as Oori.
