Love is sound.  Love   Held in their arms,  Listening to the  THU-THUMPING  THU-THUMPING  THU-THUMPING  Of their heart  As their chest   Falls and rises  With every breath.  While they say   “I love you”  One more time.  Love is heartbreaking.  To Soon To Be Gone  When you are no longer in my life,  I will cry my heart out for you thatContinue reading “Global Lit Project 2”

Project 1 Christian Heroism

Christian Heroism in Medieval Texts Throughout multiple medieval texts, we can notice the prevalent theme of heroism. To begin, we need to define what characteristics being heroic falls under. To be heroic means to be brave, noble or a hero/heroine. Why does Medieval Literature consistently include heroism as a major theme within its texts? AContinue reading “Project 1 Christian Heroism”

Prominent Transformative Justice advocate Mia Mingus defines Transformative Justice as, “Transformative Justice (TJ) is a political framework and approach for responding to violence, harm and abuse.

Iago, not just a Parrot

My project: I chose the drama masks to represent Iago’s two-faced nature. The black and white were chosen because of the racial bias Iago shows in regards to Othello. The text is green because jealousy is often associated with green. Since the dawn of humanity, there has been a never-ending search for a reason forContinue reading “Iago, not just a Parrot”

Unessay 2: Fruit Gathering LV

The woman found a reason to live on after herContinue reading “Unessay 2: Fruit Gathering LV”

Samantha Parker EN 3515 Second Project 11/05/21 To be masculine is to have the attributes and characteristics that make up a “man.” However, everyone defines masculinity in their own way. In today’s world, masculinity comes along with stereotyping, both good and bad. The stereotypical view on men is that they are the “bread-makers,” or theContinue reading “Representation of Masculinity Through Imagery in Sultana’s Dream and Shakuntala”

Medieval Literature’s Incomplete Bestiary

Dragon This beast can take form in a few different ways. The first dragon was a vile offspring of a man, descended from Cane, and a large serpent with whom he had taken a certain fondness to. The descendant was already close enough in virtue to the slimy thing that bedding it came naturally toContinue reading “Medieval Literature’s Incomplete Bestiary”
