hi Hsu, I agree with your 3 point, i also struggled to understand fully the assignment instructions and would right rough drafts and try to organize it in simple standard english and call it a day. But after this class I learned to pay closer attention to each assignment description and take my time through them to ask questions and seek help if…[Read more]

Hi Brian, I really like your thesis especially how you mention fairy tales can influence a child’s subconscious and the importance of guiding kids through those intense themes thoughtfully. I agree that reading fairy tales to you kids and talking about it could help kids grow and build values and clarity or perspective in their little worlds

Hi Khrysta, I love how you highlighted the importance of parental guidance in navigating outdated ideologies, especially now days where we don’t have the same values as when those stories were written, fairytales can definitely open the door to important conversations.

Hey Tahj, I love your take on this topic and it resonates a lot with me. As a person of color coming to America and learning of slavery, especially after the BLM movement, felt honestly gut-wrenching, as in schools they do teach the more watered down versions and instances of racism. It was honestly even worse when so many people were in genuine…[Read more]

Hey Senghor,
I completely agree with you, I also think it paints a more authentic picture and stays true to the historical context and setting. I love your take on the censorship, I agree as well that the author’s word use is always important to a story, and taking that away is just demeaning their writing and the message they want to convey.

Hi Concepcion, I completely agree with your views! Up to this point it always felt like something wasn’t clicking or I was missing something. But since I read those past few poems, especially “White Lies” and
“The Last Duchess” has been so much easier to interpret because I’ve come to realize it’s not just grasping at thin strands, but there is…[Read more]
