You make a great argument as to how fairy tales can be harmful for children. It does get frustrating when there have been many movements to advance awareness on women’s rights only to have these stories teach girls complacent behavior at a young age. It is rare to see the relatively new princesses who advocate for themselves,…[Read more]

I completely agree with your discussion on omitting offensive and outdated language. It may not reflect the author’s philosophy, but it is a powerful tool that helps us realize what minorities had to experience during that time. The historical context gives us an opportunity for accountability when we confront that hurtful…[Read more]

I agree with your statement about not taking poetry at “face value” because it helps to reread a poem to see if any details were missed. I have also found it useful to read it aloud because then I am forced to respect the grammar, giving the poem another layer of meaning. It is nice to know you have previous experience with…[Read more]

It was nice to read about your essay experience! I am glad you got to show yourself you are still a great student even after a decade. I loved the analogy you wrote in my post about the box instructions. I feel better after reading that I am not the only one in doubting my writing process and diving back for the instructions.…[Read more]

You do a great job of explaining Sylvia’s resistance and showing that it’s not just stubbornness but a way for her to stay strong. I really liked how you pointed out that the first person narrative helps us understand Sylvia’s thoughts and emotions. Your explanation of how her…[Read more]
