I carried myself with pride and confidence knowing that if I could excel in the rigorous courses I signed up for each semester, while also working, volunteering, and being involved in Greek life, there was nothing that could halter me from achieving my lofty ambitions.

“Literature has documented the familiar yet profound transformation of sex roles associated with the process of societal modernisation” (Ronald Inglehart, Rising Tide: Gender Equality and Cultural Change Around The World, 2003) Detecting the intertextual relationship between Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare and 10 Things I Hate About You by Gil Junger, has greatly enhanced and enriched my understanding of love and gender and it’s varying ideals throughout the centuries. Taming of the Shrew

Quiajah Freeman Professor Barberan English 29 October 2016 Recitatif If twentieth-century studies of "Recitatif" focus primarily on extremes—the white and black ends of the binary—instead of plumbing the depths of the murky space in between, twenty-first century scholarship on "Recitatif" better explicates how the story works on our preconceptions about race.

“Cleanliness, neatness, modesty, decency, and appropriateness in dressing are important values which reflect an individual dignity and sobriety through which students of every university represent their status as learned scholars” (Omojuwa, 2014, p. 1).

There she was, applying her usually powder to blurred her textured skin, using a bold dark pencil to line her lips and finishing it off with her plum-colored lipstick. I never got tired of seeing my mother do her makeup routine. I wanted to be just like her, she gave me baby power to smooth out my baby skin and a cherry lip gloss top it off. At night, my father skimmed section by section through my mother’s layered shoulder length hair apply her hair serum as she sat on the weaved chair with her

How does Steinbeck use animals to show the main themes in Of Mice and Men? This story is about two men (George and Lennie) and their desperate hope in that they will raise enough money so that they can purchase a plot of land and “live of the fatta the land”.

Sexuality and Television After viewing only a few hours of television I asked myself, “How is it that people can spend as many as 20 hours watching television per week?” A whole day wasted, and what has come out of it? More garbage that will further distort any real comprehension held about what it means to be a male or a female.
