Personally‚ I found the chapter about Dagoberto Gilb to be extremely interesting to read. The inclusion of pictures in the textbook really allows a reader to get a better understanding of the author before they read the stories. I found “Love in L.A.” to be particularly compelling. The text leading up to the short story provides the reader with insight to Gilb’s life. Gilb’s life is that of a typical working class American. This knowledge provides insight into the meaning and motive behind “Love

These three words have become the slogan of a powerful movement‚ and in so few words they have the ability to communicate the pain of a group of people whose rights are being violated on a daily basis

The sculpture that I decided to reflect upon is L’Offrande (The Offering) by Robert Wlerick. The sculpture is situated in a grassy meadow area in between the academic buildings of Stein and Beaven. The scale of the piece seems to be larger than life. The proportions of the sculpture are larger than an average sized woman and appears almost like an Amazon woman. The Offering is representational and it depicts a nude woman sitting on a step. It appears the sculpture is made out of bronze and has been

In the prologue of The Go-Between how does L.P Hartley present the relationship between memory and history? The first line of the novel introduces how L.P Hartley intertwines history and memory throughout the narrative. “The past is a foreign country‚ they do things differently there.” in a literal sense‚ Hartley suggests that the past‚ like a foreign country‚ has different customs to present day. A recurring motif throughout the novel‚ the Boer war‚ can historically be connected to this opening

You tackled some really thought-provoking themes in your poems‚ and I think were largely successful in doing so. I think if you just revisit some specific aspects of each piece‚ they could be even stronger. In “L’appel du vide”‚ I thought your poem perfectly captured the feelings associated with the phrase “l’appel du vide”‚ itself.
