I made her username Katsaofherself instead of something like
Katsaofthemiddluns because she belongs to herself and she is also a person who
likes to keep things simple. I chose the profile and header pictures because
they are gender ambiguous and they represent Katsa finally seeing the beach and
the freedom she gained over the course of the book.
I followed Planned Parenthood and the Karate Girls because
Planned Parenthood is a safe place for people to go to ensure that they are
healthy and for family planning. Throughout the book Katsa says that she does
not want marriage or kids and I think she would support a group that empowers
women by giving them access to healthcare, birth control, and fertility help.
The Karate Girls is a twitter that is about girls who do Karate. Katsa thought
it very important that girls are able to defend themselves. She even questioned
why men are given all the training when girls are supposed to be need
protection. She did not like that women were left to rely on their brothers,
husbands, sons, and fathers for protection. I followed Hillary Clinton because
I think she represents a strong woman and I think Katsa would agree and support
her. I followed Ashton Kutcher because of his work in trafficking. I think
Katsa would follow that because her work with the council shows that she likes
to save people and she would follow someone who also saves people. I followed
Ruby Rose because she is genderfluid and prefers a more androgynous look. I think
Katsa, if she lived in our time, would be similar.
1. I
also made a few tweets.
I'll do whatever it takes to empower
those who need it

saving grace was learning of my survival grace

husband or a child to find purpose in the world.
The tweets are about some of her principles and one is about her relationship Po. that is the most vague tweet because I don't think she would be overly emotional or obvious when she tweets about him and she wouldn't tweet about him often.
Category B Prompt C
I could definitely see Katsa posting those tweets because she of and independent and strong-willed mind. She is under the control of her uncle up until she realizes that it is her life and she can longer accept it. I also agree that the moment she figured out that her Grave was survival, she grew,even more. I like the tweets because they show a progression of that growth.
ReplyDeleteHi Heidi,
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of your twitter feed is probably who you decided to have Katsa follow. I agree that an organization like Planned Parenthood would be very important to her. As a girl on the road without any living parents to provide for her, she would need access to affordable birth control and sexual health education. I also like the Hillary Clinton follow. I have to admit reading this novel post-election, Leck's kingdom built on lies and all of the people believing his lies even when they were unbelievable reminded me of a certain president. The handle is certainly appropriate as well.
