The texts that I have studied and prepared for my comparative course are: Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte‚ Translations by Brian Friel‚ and I’m not scared directed by Gabriel Salvatores.

Some elements of the cultural context of each and every text are the world’s attitudes‚ social rituals‚ and structures. Coming to grips with the general norm

While reading the book‚ I Can I Will‚ I found the messages that were sent across to be very forceful and pertained to a lot of my own life experiences.

For this week’s assignment‚ I chose Marcos Souza’s review (Unit 3) of “In Cuba I was a German Shepherd” by Ana Menendez. I really liked his take on the story.
