We talked about queer theory in class today. My understanding of it is that it is different from the “norm.” There isn’t anything that I can think that I do that is different from the norm.

This relates to Middlesex because the main character is different from the norm. She is not a boy or a girl. This is a result because her family is different from the norm. Her grandparents are really brother and sister. In today’s society that is not acceptable. In the past people married their cousins but not brothers and sisters. This book involves a lot of queer theory being that the whole family is different from the norm.

I am choosing the song Who’s To Say by Vanessa Carlton. It talks about how people are telling them what to do and how life is. She just wants to figure it out on her on.
