Kinda Nervous
Andrew (sometimes Andy, but never Drew) looked into a mirror and adjusted a jean jacket. He liked how it filled out his shoulders, he liked the cut, he liked how it slimmed him out. He sucked in his gut and held a pose and bobbed his head with approval. Emma (Em to her friends) shiftedContinue reading “Kinda Nervous”
the long awaited First Major Project
Explanation I was granted an opportunity to flex my adaptation skills for this first project. While I was reading “The Book of the Dead” from Edwidge Danticat’s The Dew Breaker, I realized how theatrical it is. Right off the bat, Danticat uses conversational dialogue to do some exposition, which read like a script in myContinue reading “the long awaited First Major Project”

The Connection between Pain and Change
When thinking of pain we always think “this will pass”, “it won’t last long”, but what about the pain that does last. Not the physical, the one that causes all the aches, but the pain that is mental. Mental pain can stick on for a while or even forever. The topic of pain can goContinue reading “The Connection between Pain and Change”
The most interesting character in The Dew Breaker!
The Dew Breaker is a collection of stories that are linked by Edwidge Danticat, and the book was published in 2004. Some read the book as a novel, while others read it at a collection of short stories that are connected. There are a few interesting characters throughout The Dew Breaker such as Ka, AnneeContinue reading “The most interesting character in The Dew Breaker!”
Time, Morality, Redemption
Although each short story in The Dew Breaker, by Edwidge Danticat, seemingly follows different characters, the main themes and ideas of each remain the same. I have chosen to specifically follow three of these characters. Two of those characters being the woman from The Funeral Singer and Beatrice from The Bridal Seamstress. Due to anContinue reading “Time, Morality, Redemption”
Project 1: Themes of Equiano and Django
In this essay I will be comparing scenes and themes between “The Interesting Narrative of Olaudah Equiano” and Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained”. Obviously both share the main conflict of slavery but both are from different times. In “The Interesting Narrative of Olaudah Equiano” the reading takes you through events in his life starting with whenContinue reading “Project 1: Themes of Equiano and Django”
The Life of Olaudah Equiano
I want to start by talking about the word “Slave” because I do not particularly like using it. Throughout all my schooling, every teacher used the word slave and every time I heard it, I hoped they would use a different word, or bring up how it isn’t a good word to use. “A debateContinue reading “The Life of Olaudah Equiano”
The Magic: The Gathering Deck of the Life of Olaudah Equiano
As an unessay, I’ve created a Planeswalker Magic: The Gathering card based around Olaudah himself, and, (because MTG is short the blue/white pirate cards I was looking for by a large margin) to go with him, an Olaudah Equiano Legacy Deck. (This is a deck containing at least 60 legal cards from any set ofContinue reading “The Magic: The Gathering Deck of the Life of Olaudah Equiano”
