A common theme in Audre Lorde’s “Zami: A New Spelling of My Name” is the idea of intersectionality and how these different categories make up a person’s identity. Lorde has many different identities that make her a whole. She has a hard time separating these things within her, because she is never just Black, or just a women, or just a lesbian.

The reader journeys through the alternate life of Audre…

It is an elegant, however strange, mixture with metaphorical, mythic and fictional story lines. As a black author, Audre Lorde presents the story as a semi self-reflection of the inception of black lesbianism in the modern era.

participated in my classroom spelling bee. I was always inspired to compete in a spelling bee whenever I saw them on television. They always looked so interesting to me.

This phase is followed by semi-phonic spelling where the children begin to understand the relationship between symbols and sounds.

Then, like a baby taking steps forward, they use phonetic spelling in which they start writing with a greater understanding of…
