Bell Hooks

QDJ

1.        When Hooks wrote that she wanted to kill herself, she meant not actually dying, but killing herself in her writing.  She wanted to kill herself in the writing because she saw it as freeing herself from her past and troubles.

2.       Bio mythology is writing that is both fiction and autobiography.  Hook’s example is not bio mythology because it’s not fiction; her writing would be considered just an autobiography.

3.       Hooks uses a hope chest to frame her autobiography.  It was her mother’s and it was very valuable to her.  For my autobiography I would use a puppy because I love puppies, they are crazy, playful and sleepy like me.

2.  Identity is something that can definitely be changed through text.  I think it would be easy to write about yourself and give yourself the identity you’ve always admired.  You can achieve this by writing a fictional book but perhaps basing the protagonist off you, giving yourself new qualities and a different identity.
