  1.      Read: Joel Chandler Harris Uncle Remus (1880) The first 3 paragraphs of his “Introduction,” “Uncle Remus Initiates the Little Boy,” “The Wonderful Tar Baby,” and “Why the Negro is Black”. Watch: Gullah Traditions of the South Carolina Coast Comment on the Discussion Board. In your comments, pick one of the tales. I know they are hard to read because of the dialect (which should remind you of the way Jim spoke in Tom Sawyer and will come up again in Langston Hughes’s poetry). Read them aloud. Try to figure out where the resistance and rebellion are in the tale.
