    How Has Field Experience Changed/Affected me? If someone were to ask me about five years ago if I would consider teaching as a career‚ I would have looked at them like they were crazy. I never thought I would even begin to have an interest in teaching. It was not until my freshman year in high school that I knew I wanted to be a teacher; better yet‚ a Band Director. I had always had a passion for music but never actually thought about pursuing it as a career. It was not until my mom and I sat down

Many critics have argued that several extreme historical circumstances of the 20th century have led to the flourishing of dystopian literature. Dystopias usually extrapolate elements of contemporary society and function as a warning against some modern trend‚ often the threat of oppressive regimes in one

    Cara Skelley In both Dreaming in Cuban and Forgetfullness I believe the characters are living in history. They are holding onto to something that already happened‚ in hope that it hadnt.

    Critical Analysis of Saur’s Interpretation of "Tartuffe" Pamela S. Saur’s article “Moilere’s Tartuffe” provides us with a well-built synopsis of Moliere’s character Cleante.

Despite all of this‚ Saur argues of Cleante‚ saying “If the play were merely ’a struggle between Tartuffe and Cleante‚’ that the ending would be different.

    A year ago‚ I attended a traditional Ukrainian funeral‚ which was a first for myself.

On the way to the funeral I had no idea what I was about to experience. On the way out I remember feeling very weird about what all had taken place. In any funeral I had
