    Harriet Jacobs’ narrative, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, not only presents her journey through slavery and her experiences but also shows how she asserted her identity as a woman and resisted the sexual humiliation and exploitation most African American women suffered in slavery. Harriet Jacobs, speaking through her narrator, Linda Brent, reveals her reasons for deciding to make her personal story of enslavement, degradation, and sexual exploitation public. Jacobs was a woman of great dignity, strong will, and aspiring desire. Harriet was considered nothing more than just a slave girl would give anything for the freedom for herself and her two children. Jacobs asserts that slavery is not only about “perpetual bondage” but also about “degradation”. Jacobs indefinitely uses her knowledge as a key to gaining freedom from the bondages of slavery. Her own education provides her with a look at the possibilities of freedom in the North and this her mental capabilities allow her to fight herself free from her obscene master, Dr. Flint. Linda’s actions in this book underscore a theme of the love and support of the black community and especially the community of women and how this community served as a critical component of the struggle for survival and freedom. Harriet Jacobs asserted her identity as a woman and resisted the sexual humiliation and exploitation in her narrative Incidents through control over the situation with Dr. Flint, the risks she took for her children, and through the strength she held while being mistreated.…

    Jane Jones had advertised in the Yellow Pages that she was able to provide representation in uncontested divorces, wills and estates, as well as other services. It is outside the paralegal’s scope of practice to deal with matters involving wills or family law, including divorce. This was a direct violation of the Paralegal Rules of Conduct, “A paralegal shall not advertise services that are beyond the permissible scope of practice of a paralegal” (Rule 8.02(3). As a paralegal, it would be important for Jane Jones to avoid misleading any potential clients so that they do not assume that she is a lawyer. Jane Jones’ business name would have also been a violation of rule 8.03 (1) and (2). “(1) In this Rule, "marketing" includes…

    Freshman art major Hayley Limbach was a pleasure to interview. I sat down with her one evening to talk about her inspirations, ideas and way of making art. She is very passionate about art and shows her love for life through her art work. Her artistic talents do not stop with one medium, she enjoys making a great variety of projects, although many consist of mostly drawing and coloring with pencils. Her current masterpiece, as I like to call it, is a memory book for her high school boyfriend who attends a different university. She is drawing and coloring on a blank page, hard cover book, images of them all the way back to the very beginning when they first met. She is doing all these based of her memory, which means the picture will depict a big idea on each page rather than having accurate details. The memory book is in more of a comic book style, so the images are cartoon-like and the words, if any, are inside of shapes and…
