The CodeX Cantina

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Let's look at The Chrysanthemums by John Steinbeck. A very famous work that deals with genders and their roles in society. The heavy usage of symbols is quite strong in this too. We'll see the usage of yellow chrysanthemums and their meaning of scorned love and white has a different meaning as well. Let's talk about it today!

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Franz Kafka is one of the most influential writers to have ever picked up the pen! Let's look at "A Hunger Artist" (sometimes The Hunger Artist) with some modern interpretations of what art is and when it becomes a commodity? When is it no longer art?

Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Let's look at one of the greatest writers of all time, Toni Morrison!

Let's talk about colorism, or shadeism, in this story today as Sweetness raises her child in a post-segregation world but still living with prejudice.
