Reading is famous. It has usually been that way. Human beings were analyzing ever considering patterns of writing first emerged in cuneiform in Mesopotamia, and books have traditionally contained a kernel of our person merriments.
Charles MazabaPublished 3 years ago in EducationPoetic Intimacy
While the time span of 1960-1990 saw vast historical and cultural changes against the backdrop of women seeking equality, there is one word that can be used to describe the difference in female poetry written throughout these decades. Intimacy is the key definer of these generations. I feel that there are four poems that can specifically show how intimacy defines poetry during these eras, with a difference in intimacy through experience and definition found in each poetic generation.

American Literature Genre Herman Northrop Frye was a controversial literature writer who was not understood for decades as an archetypal school of literary criticism member. He wrote his magisterial work Anatomy of criticism: Four Essays proceeding on the hypothesis that criticism is a structure of beliefs and knowledge in its own right. The four brilliant essays on ethical, historical, rhetorical, and archetypical criticism employ examples of global literature from times stints to the contemporary time. When comparing different book written by different authors, for example, the book Kindred by Octavia Butler and The Spook Who Sat by the Door by Sam Greenlee it is possible to understand how different genres were used to communicate unique messages during different periods of time.

Jordan CraftPublished 3 years ago in EducationWhy A Beach Chase is the Perfect Back-to-School Gift
One of the clearest memories I have from preschool was kneeling on the floor, the gray carpet creating indents in my knees. A jack-in-the-box sat on the floor in front of me. I'd seen the toy in some of my favorite cartoons and had never played with one before. I turned the handle slowly, careful not to distort the song.

The book contains numerous photographs of important scientists such as Enrico Fermi, Wolfgang Pauli, and Paul Dirac. In this book, I learned a lot about what I know about science.
Rashmi DahalPublished 3 years ago in EducationThe Motif of Comparing Characters to Animals to show the impact of generational racial trauma in “Beloved” by Toni Morrison
In nature, it is survival of the fittest. Only the strongest beasts will make it out alive, and the most vulnerable will die in the wild. Humans are believed to be better than animals; they have self restraint and control over their choices and fates. Therefore, when people are compared to and treated as nothing more than animals, it strips away their humanity and disregards their inherent worth. In the novel Beloved, Toni Morrison includes the motif of comparing the characters to animals to show how being dehumanized consistently can alter one’s core beliefs and their actions, and how dehumanizing people can cause them severe emotional trauma.
Angie SeminaraPublished 3 years ago in EducationDa Vinci Code Book Review
Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code is a quick thriller where the main character has to understand clues from art, architecture, and puzzles to solve the murder and save himself. The key to the book is that it is full of amazing structure changes and each chapter ends with a cliffhanger, so keep reading to see what happens next. What happens next in this book should shock the reader, but I noticed a delay while I was busy summarizing the structure, and it took me a while to force my face to do so.

I highly recommend these books.
Ferrari KingPublished 3 years ago in EducationWhy Fiction Matters
We’ve all met them, those furrow browed grumps who claim fiction is a waste of time. They insist, with all the finality in the world, that there is no knowledge to be found in a novel that can’t be found elsewhere. And of course you nod, better that than try to argue with the bore. However, sometimes we must defend not only that which is dear, but that which is important.
Leigh DoughtyPublished 3 years ago in EducationThe Coddling of the American Mind
The Coddling of the American Mind From leftists, to leftists: A warning against wokeism. Recently, I’ve reviewed Douglas Murray’s The Madness of Crowds. For a conservative like myself, it’s an easy book to like. Murray criticizes modern woke thought in terms that resonate with my own beliefs, indicting modern Marxism’s quest to re-invent itself as the genesis of our current madness.
Grant PattersonPublished 3 years ago in EducationTalking Witold Gombrowicz's Trans-Atlantyk
Recently I had been working on a few projects with my mentor when she proposed the idea that I, an American of Polish descent, consider reading more work from my ancestry. I of course came to this with my own prejudices, as I always imagined Polish works would be, well, grim to say the least. For reference, at this time the most I had known about Polish would be men like Zdzislaw Basinski, known for his dystopian landscapes of a world conquered by hellish atrocities, or Eli Wiesel, who I had just assumed was Polish because his novel, Night, and if someone is writing about the Holocaust, they must be Polish. Excuse my American naivety.
