The last paragraph of the prelude to the Second Discourse is an impassioned appeal whose scope transcends the boundaries of time and space alike, calling for readers to pay attention to the history of man and society that Rousseau is on the verge of putting forth. Beginning with this authorial intrusion—a form of literary apostrophe—the essay adopts historical writing as its primary narrative mode. This method stands in direct contrast with the approach Thomas Hobbes takes in his Leviathan, in which

should be impossible to go wrong. How could I fail? Nevertheless, presenting this article is also particularly intimidating. Can I live up to that? Can I actually follow these rules, take on board and rearticulate the wealth of advice? Much like history itself, I view this is an enticing paradox, one which I wholly intend to embrace.

Essay 1: Culture and Identity (Rough Draft) Imagine a life without writing, and without art; it’s pretty grim isn’t it? Without these essential cultural components, life would be a sad place to live in, because no other cultural aspect would survive. The most essential cultural elements are Art and Literature, because art and literature lead into the other cultural aspects.

After this oral interview experience I feel as though I know how I could use oral histories in my classroom. During the beginning of the interview I asked Vanna “What do you think the difference is between West Texas and Texas from other regions of the state?” Her answer consisted of a lot of “umms”, but I think she answers the question

Judith Bennett is a Medievalist Historian who has focused much of her research on English/European women and feminist history (1-2). In her book History Matters: Patriarchy and the Challenge of Feminism, she argues that feminism and history, specifically women’s, need to be more closely linked. This link, she argues, comes from taking theories and methods from one field and applying them to the other in order to create a more indepth analysis of both.
