Professor Perry,

ENG 201 was by far one of my most interesting courses this semester, the literature I have read has taught me that beautiful stories are worth analyzing and most of all, worth enjoying. As the […]

Hi Jesus! I really liked your post and how you were able to discuss how you witness just how important the occasion is to women and discussed your relationships with your clientele! I find that really cool.

Although written humorously, Chekhov’s play emphasized how most proposal’s have little to do with two people’s compatibility with one another and more to do with the grand “occasion.” Natalya and Ivan had little […]

Hi Jesus!
This play was really sad to me, and the ending only made me sadder. I really felt Chris’ pain and wish he didn’t have to serve a country that had failed him and his family so much.

Alice Dunbar-Nelson’s play “Mine Eyes Have Never Seen” exemplifies corruption under the guise of “upliftment.” I believe that Nelson’s play was written to depict horrible and heartbreaking situations that end in […]

Hi Jesus! I agree that Victor was a horrible person! He describes his creation so sadly, and yet was not willing to offer his creation a happy life. He brought him into the world only to allow him to suffer.

Hi Mairely! I agree that alcohol affected Victor’s life in ways connected to himself and his father, and that life on the reservation was not well and life was indeed set back because of colonization. I liked your post!

Hi Carolina! I agree that the effects of colonization are devastating. They erased entire cultures and the effects are still felt today. I believe that Victor felt very distant from his identity and self. I liked your post!

Hi Carolina!
I really liked your post! I also believe that Oseki stayed in her unhappy marriage for the sake of her family. In order to play her part in society she had to let go of having a fairytale ending, as all people do.

Hi Jesus! The surprise ending of the story caught me off guard, I found the husband to be a horrible person. I believe racism is still a prevalent issue today and it takes on many forms.

Hi Carolina!
I agree that we all should be careful about what we choose to joke about in front of children. Kids don’t have the same perception as us so they’re not sure if we’re joking around. Still, I believe we should talk to children with respect and kindness since they are tiny humans after all! I liked your post!
