Nathan’s My Freshman The protagonist in the novel, Rebekah Nathan talks about the existence of division along racial and cultural lines with the institutions of higher learning. While she was undercover as a student at Northern Arizona University, the professor learnt that there were silent and largely unseen divisions that separated local students from international students.

Consequence of Marriage There is a problem with marrying in a community property state since the official title is normally registered under the name of one partner and never both. Computing any inheritance gifts that were awarded to the couple was problematic. Furthermore, it is difficult to decide on such cases since case law and applicable verdicts differ depending on the state the couple occupies. Therefore, while it may be relatively easy to decide the best way of separating family property in the event of a divorce, it is more complicated under a community property state.
