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]

I kept thinking about what other reasons besides him being egocentric would contribute to him wanting to hear his daughters declare their love for him. One of the reasons I came up with was that King Lear is a king. As a king he always has to double guess what people say…[Read more]

During the first time I read Paradise I was more focused on the girls’ individual stories. This time I felt the need to read more about the parts of the novel that mentioned the oven because of how much we talked about it in class. The talk…[Read more]

Recently I discovered, while watching TV, a commercial for a new movie. 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]
