For today’s prompt, I’d like you to write 3 questions that you have about the Appalachia Chapter 5. Please be prepared to discuss them in class today.
When the author states that the newcomers tended to avoid coal country, as well as those southern hill counties that had been part of the civil rights frontier, why do you think that they went out of their way to avoid these?
Why were individuals so attracted to the traditional folklife and crafts of the Appalachian culture?
How did media portrayal (movies and stuff) have some positive effect while drawing national attention to the region?
