Frederick Yopp wrote a new blog post Words and Encouraging Not Knowing Everything in the group
American Studies: 4 years, 10 months agoI found our class discussion on words to be very enjoyable and interesting. Watching everyone pick a word that they didn’t know was a pleasant exercise, and it normalized the daunting task that was trying to d […]

Frederick Yopp wrote a new blog post A Follow-Up on the Nuances of Consent in the group
American Studies: 4 years, 10 months agoOur group blog post discussing consent was one that I considered very fleshed out and thorough, but also lacked an incisive conclusion. I don’t think that is a fault of myself or my group, but instead because, a […]

Frederick Yopp wrote a new blog post A Wealth of Knowledge Unshared, and the Need for Discussion in the group
American Studies: 4 years, 10 months agoI believe that where this class curriculum excels is in its ability to showcase aspects of American history that would otherwise slip through the cracks of our country’s education system. I think that it’s very e […]

Frederick Yopp commented on the post, Morris, How We Live and How We Might Live, on the groupblog
Marginalia 4 years, 10 months agoThis paragraph intrigued me to the fact that it is in my opinion, Morris’ boldest claim. His ideals throughout this text often fall into the category of basic human rights, with those being health and education, […]

Frederick Yopp wrote a new blog post Heathcliff and Pip: Brothers From Another Mother in the group
Nineteenth-Century Studies: 4 years, 11 months agoI feel as though it is unquestionable that there are stark similarities between Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights and Pip in Great Expectations, and these similarities only become more pronounced in this set of […]

Frederick Yopp commented on the post, Chapter 15, on the groupblog
Marginalia 4 years, 11 months agoAlthough brief, I feel that this coupled with paragraph 70 perfectly embodies Miss Havisham as a character. Asking if Pip is looking for Estella while knowing she is gone is a blatant set up for disappointment. In […]

Nineteenth-Century Studies: 5 years, 1 month agoLike many others taking this course, Victorian-era literature is not something that I am well versed in or have a significant understanding of. Although along the way I have a read a couple of Victorian novels […]
