Hello! Marc Lamont Hill says, "To be Nobody is to be vulnerable. In the most basic sense, all of us are vulnerable; to be human is to be susceptible to misfortune, violence, illness, and death [...] Unfortunately, for many citizens- particularly those marked as poor, Black,
Brown, immigrant, queer, or trans- State power has only increased their vulnerability, making their lives more rather than less unsafe."
How do "Imitation," "How to Date a Brown Girl (Black Girl, White Girl, or Halfie)," and "Superman and Me" enhance our
understanding of what it means to be a nobody? Which characters, speakers, or narrators help to create a more nuanced understanding for
you? How? Why?
