“William Butler Yeats deals with an interesting variety of subjects and his poetry is full of powerful images and impressive descriptions. Discuss.” Submitted by Hollie McLaughlin.

This already shows a weakness of liberal education

13 Reasons Why is a novel by Jay Asher‚ that will stay with me because it has genuinely changed my outlook on life.

Hannah sends 13 cassette tapes to people she blames for her suicide‚ before killing herself by taking a handful of pills. The book is set around Clay Jensen‚ the ninth person to receive the tapes out of twelve. I was fascinated at how all of these people in
