Half & Half

Both Half-breed and Anne of Green Gables are two texts that inherently glorify gender specific roles. It is not to say that gender roles carry with them only the negative connotation that many of us have given them, but with them they also bring the ability for many of us to grow into our personal identities. Maria and Anne accepted some gender roles and fought others but either way it was the journey that helped them to get to their personal identities. Half-Breed, the autobiography of Maria Campbell

States saw the conception of the American system of manufactures are an increase rate of population growth, the predominance of agricultural sector with high fertility levels that is excess of land and food, and rural isolation.

I found great meaning in the essay “Learning and Identity: What does it mean to be a Half-Elf ?”, by James Paul Gee. After reading through Gee’s analysis of video games I was particularly drawn to the connection he made with learning in the classroom. I feel that the projective identity (picturing what one would like to be in a given role) is critical to learning, as is learning at the threshold between one’s boundaries and beyond. While I agreed with Gee in most principles regarding deep learning

In order for the British colonies to maintain this paradigm, the Natives were forced to sign treaties that held provisions such as the Half Breed Tract.

The colonists came looking for a new world when they found

“We are unfashioned creatures, but half made up…” (Shelley 14) Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” is a book with an important message. The reader will form an opinion on the book. Nobody can be born a monster, a monster is created through society which starts with the creator. Frankenstein wants revenge, kills three people, and he even terrifies his own creator which is Victor.  Frankenstein, also known as the modern prometheus, is still  interesting and creative even though it was published in 1818.

Evelyn Cunningham once said, “Women are the only oppressed group in our society that lives in intimate association with their oppressors.” For thousands of years women have been oppressed, not in the bondage of slavery but in the bondage that comes from a lack of education and a dependence on men for their livelihood. Women have been subjected to scrutiny and ostracization, belittling and disparaging comments, and even at times they have been feared by men. Women themselves have even taken on the

The creation of railroads led to the settlement of the west, faster and more efficient ways to transport products and materials and provided opportunity for

Consumers respond to the "Buy One Get One Half Off" (or BOGO 1.5) sales promotion because it gives an impression of savings and serves as an incentive for the consumer to get two items for one and a half price.
