    The myth of Philomela has resonated in the imaginations of female writers for several thousand years. One particular writer, Alice Walker, revises the myth of Philomela in her novel, The Color Purple, through the protagonist Celie.

    The temple that we visited was the Abu Bakr Mosque, a Sunni temple, and the largest Islamic Mosque in the state of Colorado. The temple can accommodate up to 3,000 people at its maximum. Abu Bakr is a part of the Colorado Muslim Society and is the first masjid in Colorado after the building was purchased in 1974 and relocated to its current location. My first impression of the masjid was that it did not seem like a religious building at first sight. Because of the simple masonry of the exterior,
