Cite two passages (one or two sentences) from chapter 2 and chapter 7 from Gloria Anzaldua's Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza that you think relate to the class.  [One paragraph per chapter]

How does Queer Aztlan: re-Formation of Chicano Tribe by Cherrie Moraga contribute to the discourse of the class?   Cite two examples. What is the debt Moraga states is owed to lesbians? [one paragraph] 

I asked you to write down your reaction to the documentary United in Anger: A History of ACT UP.  What was that reaction?  What did you know, if anything, about the HIV/AIDS movement?  What are two scenes or people who stood out to you?  How does Gay Sex in the 70s complement United in Anger?  [one paragraph]

Why do you think I am stressing the popular culture of the era (1970s to early 1990s), the music in particular?  [2 or 3 sentences]

What is your reaction to the film All About My Mother?  The film references a possible cure to AIDS through the third Esteban (Jesus Christ)...is this a sign of hope or irresponsible film making?
