For my final blog post, I want to reflect and talk about video games–specifically one of my favorites: Life is Strange. I’ve gotten more into playing video games as they develop; I have noticed they rely h […]
Catherine White wrote a new blog post Is There Such a Thing as an Adequate Response to a Disaster Scenario? in the group American Studies: 8 years, 4 months ago

I’ve been going back and forth with this idea ever since we did our group blog posts on specific hurricanes, and to be honest, I still don’t have a solid answer. We’ve seen–like in When the Levees Broke and in ou […]
Catherine White wrote a new blog post Why is Reading Shakespeare So Important? in the group American Studies: 8 years, 4 months ago

As English majors, we tend to be questioned about what we do in the classroom and how it is valuable to an overall learning experience. This is especially true when reading contemporary “fantasy” novels such as […]
Catherine White wrote a new blog post Mark Spitz is Unstuck in Time: A Comparison of PTSD in Zone One and Slaughterhouse-Five in the group American Studies: 8 years, 4 months ago

“Usually disasters like this bring out the best in everybody, and that’s what we expected to see.

After reading Spencer’s blog post, “The Conundrum of Color-Blindness,” and after Beth mentioned the idea of “colorblindness” a couple of classes ago, I was intrigued to go into the topic further. This is especia […]
Catherine White edited the blog post The Power of Art as Experienced in When The Levees Broke in the group American Studies: 8 years, 5 months ago

I mulled over my thoughts on When the Levees Broke during spring break, and my conclusion was that the film as a whole was incredibly dense, both in factual and emotive value. Since the film was informative, I was able to know more about the timeline of the events during Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and more about the reactions and stories of…[Read more]
Catherine White edited the blog post The Infamous Chief Wahoo in the group American Studies: 8 years, 6 months ago

I’m a huge baseball fan, so it’s no surprise that in class on Monday when Beth mentioned to our group something about the infamous Chief Wahoo logo of MLB’s The Cleveland Indians, I was immediately ready to write a blog post.

A week or two ago, the Cleveland Indians released a statement that they will get rid of the Chief Wahoo logo from…[Read more]
Catherine White edited the blog post Cultural Remembering and Forgetting: A Response to the “Tot Tanic” Bouncy Castle in the group American Studies: 8 years, 6 months ago

“There are certain topics that are off-limits to comedians: JFK, AIDS, the Holocaust. The Lincoln Assassination just recently became funny. ‘I need to see this play like I need a hole in the head.’ And I hope to someday live in a world where a person could tell a hilarious AIDS joke.
