Over the course of the semester, we have learned and read a lot of interesting things. We’ve also completed a good amount of blog posts and projects each. For the A, I completed two projects this semester. One from the first part of the class reading and for my second I used the last few… Read more Final Semester Reflection

Paradise Lost
Paradise Lost: The movie Paradise lost written by John Milton was first published in 1667. Paradise lost tells the story of Genesis. The story revolves around a few main characters being Satan, God, The Son, Adam, and Eve. It was evident from the first reading for class that this book was a mouthful, but we… Read more Paradise Lost
A Blazing World
A Blazing World by Margaret Cavendish was a very intriguing piece of work to read and analyze. A blazing world is filled with the thoughts, creativity, and imagination of Cavendish herself. She was known for having very different views and ideas as to how things she thought should be. The more I researched this piece,… Read more A Blazing World
Similizing the Brain to a Garden
For this blog post, I’m going to be discussing my thoughts and opinions on Margaret Cavendish’s piece, “similizing the brain to a garden”. It is clear that from the beginning of the poem Cavendish thinks highly of the human brain. She speaks about the brain being a glorious machine. A place for knowledge to expand… Read more Similizing the Brain to a Garden
The Prevailing Opinion of a Sexual Character Discussed
For this blog post, we were asked to look at an article. The article is “A Vindication of a Women’s Rights” by Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797). We were asked to particularly read paragraphs one through eight, “Chap II. The Prevailing Opinion of a Sexual Character Discussed”. The article speaks a lot about the war on the… Read more The Prevailing Opinion of a Sexual Character Discussed

Enacting the role of a large black man in a famous Shakespeare playsabout a large black man which for the last fifty, sixty years or so has beenmore or less wholly the province of a large black man.… Read more American Moor
Othello wrap up
When I got to the very end of Othello I was shocked but also I was expecting more I guess? Well, first off, I was not expecting Desdemona to take her own life. Obviously, we knew her relationship with Othello would never really be the same again because of Iago’s games he played. He set… Read more Othello wrap up
Beowulf; Children’s Book
For my unessay, I decided to try and recreate my own version of a children’s book for the long-time classic Beowulf. After discussing with Professor Helms for our one-on-one meeting we, unfortunately, concluded that creating an entirely new story from begging to end would be a bit tedious and time-consuming for a project that should… Read more Beowulf; Children’s Book
Lanval Thoughts
While reading Lanval for homework and after discussing it thoroughly in class it was obvious to at least me that throughout the entire reading of Lanval that the writer had made the story have a woman of power theme instead of the typical male power role we often see. Throughout the reading we see women… Read more Lanval Thoughts
