As Harde stated, it may well display its own unique qualities but I actually think that Reede could possibly be trying to bring white and black together through the process of reading this work. Although the language seems distancing at times as it can be difficult to follow, it ultimately forces readers to open their minds further in order to gain an enhanced comprehension of the ideas presented. By struggling with the alternative language, readers are accepting the invitation to learn about a different culture, therefore proving Reede’s use of this language to be a beneficial tool for the initial study of the Jes Grew and voodoo jargon.KristaEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14754069699943936034noreply@blogger.com
