It’s great to hear that you found AI helpful in generating an essay that explores the distinctive themes of “Long Division” by Kiese Laymon. I agree with you that AI can be a valuable resource for certain tasks, especially in organizing and presenting large amounts of information. However, I also believe that the human touch is crucial in refining and personalizing the output generated by AI.
As you mentioned, the use of literary devices, satire, and social/political commentary are key elements in the novel that help to shed light on the oppressive nature of racism and bigotry in modern America. The examples you provided from Now Comment demonstrate how Laymon’s use of satire, in particular, can effectively convey the insidious ways in which racism can be wielded as a tool of power and control.

“This disrespect and mistreatment are especially concerning given the historical context of oppression and systemic racism.” After reading your essay this stood out to me the most.

I could argue that the comment’s analysis of the book “Long Division” is perceptive and emphasizes the book’s major topics. A powerful weapon for examining race and identity is satire and social/political criticism, and Laymon’s deft use of literary methods helps to bring these topics to life. The book’s examination of this topic increases its relevance and effect. Racism is an issue that has to be addressed on a worldwide scale. Overall, the comment serves as a superb introduction to the book and offers a thorough discussion of its major concepts.
