Concepts of Border, Portals, and Frameworks

Thanks to Bryan and Cindy, we have made a start on our discussion of borders, portals, and frames. I know there are others who tried valiantly to access the shared document where I asked for you to explore the ideas embedded within the concepts of border, portals, and frameworks, but alas, alack, access was difficult. I appreciate your efforts, but now moving to the forums makes good sense especially after the excellent discussions in the forums from last week about estrangement and alienation. I so enjoyed reading all your stories and responses. Good job. Well done.
Please go to the forums. Think about how you define the concepts of borders, portals, and frameworks.
How do you define the terms?
How do borders, portals, and frameworks apply to your life and experiences?
What do these terms mean in terms of Saeed and Nadia in the first four chapters?
What are some examples?
Think about different actual doors in your life: the door to your parent's room; the door of the subway; the door to your room; the door to your grandmother's hospital room. Think of a specific moment when the door was important. Tel that small story.
Go back in a few days and respond to other people's posts.
