Women Character Tarot Cards pt. 2

For my second project I really wanted to continue what I worked on for project one. A quick overview; I took a selection of women characters from the texts we read, and redesigned tarot cards for their characters. The idea that inspired this was that each woman’s character we examined could be taken in twoContinue reading “Women Character Tarot Cards pt. 2”

Christianity and Religion in “The Faerie Queene”

Why can’t the dragon just eat RedCrosse Knight while he’s in the fountain?  This is a question that might be on our minds for a while after reading book 1 canto 11 of The Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser.  From a regular person’s perspective, this would make little sense because the dragon gave the knightContinue reading “Christianity and Religion in “The Faerie Queene””

Cooperative Collie vs. Exceptional Elaine

I wanted to make a sequel to my first project because I liked the world and characters I had made up for it. I know it’s not the most in-depth story background in the world, but I think that’s also what makes it more open to expand upon and flesh out more. But I mainlyContinue reading “Cooperative Collie vs. Exceptional Elaine”

Friendship and Trauma in Literature

Have we ever gone through some traumatic events in our lives, and we had a best friend that was like a brother or sister to us to help us get through or over it?  This is a question that is asked a lot in real life when we read literature that is filled with traumaticContinue reading “Friendship and Trauma in Literature”

Project 1- Racism as a Contagious Idea- Then and Now

Sketch based on Lao’s Article- Sketch based on Equiano’s Narritive- Project description and meanings: In Lau’s article he describes racism as being contagious, disease-like, and easily transmissible. This provides us with a visual to something that doesn’t quite have a discernible image to some people. This is a powerful tool in getting his message acrossContinue reading “Project 1- Racism as a Contagious Idea- Then and Now”

Global South Has a Voice Too

The term Global South is a complicated one with many complexities and meaning, and could use a whole other paper to explain it. For the purpose of this paper, Global South will refer to any marginalized group, mainly in the Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Oceania regions, that have been oppressed by their oppressor. TheContinue reading “Global South Has a Voice Too”

Christianity and Conformity, Equiano

The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the autobiography of Olaudah Equiano, is a narrative that consistently refers to the act of conforming for survival. Reading this narrative, the conversion Equiano had to Christianity was compelling to me, and as I continued to read, I noticed the act of talkingContinue reading “Christianity and Conformity, Equiano”

COVID & COVID Racism

Masks, social distancing, six/three feet apart, quarantine, and isolating. This is a new life. I would have never thought that the world we would be living in would come down, to wearing a different colored mask every day, quarantining from our families, not standing less than three feet away from someone. I said it’s a new life in the beginning but to be fair it’s not newContinue reading “COVID & COVID Racism”
