    What Is The Difference Between Lennie And The Creature?

    Ask a student what they think of teachers, and they will all respond with some despondent remark of the inadequacies of their mentors. In this sense, teachers are truly the most underappreciated of all professions. To teach is to guide, and to guide is to touch a life in such an impactful way that that life will never be the same again. A teacher nurtures and cares for a soul in the hopes that one day it will grow into an exemplar of the human spirit, in both intellect and character. In this sense, to lack a teacher is the greatest of all deprivations.…

    Sundiata: an Epic of Old Mali

    D.T. Niane’s book Sundiata: An Epic of Old Mali tells the history of Mali’s former ruler from the perspective of a royal griot, Djeli Mamoudou Kouyate of the village of Dejliba Koro (Siguiri) in Guinea. According to Niane, he is not trying to write a traditional history book, rather, he is trying to present the history of Sundiata’s empire through the traditional African form of memory using oral tradition as his only sources. He claims that the West has taught historians to avoid oral traditions and to rely instead primarily on written documents. However, Niane disagrees with these methods and claims that much can be learned from the stories and traditions passed from generation to generation through spoken word. He makes a wonderful case for the problem of Westernization of the historical discipline; stressing that it is important to understand the people being studied on their own terms, instead of viewing their histories from Eurocentric perspectives.…
