post Christmas holiday

We studied Letter to Mama p.52. about homosexuality. At the same time, a movie, "Brokeback Mountain" was becoming a blockbuster thanks to the audience response.
You can have a look at that blog where you will find lots about the film:

You also had a three-hour "mock bac" with an extract from "Even cowgirls get the blues" by Tim Robbins. It deals with the evacuation of 110.000 American citizens of Japanese origins a few weeks after Pearl Harbour (12/7/1941)
See book p.96
