Emma Belson edited the blog post Similarities Between the Beginning of Dominion and Passover in the group American Studies: 7 years ago
I thought something really interesting about the beginning of “Dominion”, at least the parts that we read Tuesday, was that it reminded of the holiday Passover. I am not sure if I would have made the connection without Passover being on my mind right now because the holiday begins this Monday. For anyone who doesn’t know what Passover is; it is,…[Read more]

The movie is called Inferno and is about man who wakes up with amnesia and while trying to recover his memories must stop a villain from unleashing a virus that could wipe out half the worlds population. I was curious about the…[Read more]
