Honestly the setting in certain scenes reminds me of the 19 […]

With that said, this piece, in my opinion, is not […]

It gets the point across and now I am left wondering what that means for […]

Food is an important part of everyone’s life and it can be a source of connection […]

I was also confused, especially with the amount of references that he made that I had no knowledge of. The Al Sirat idea of a […]

I am right there with you in […]

He claims that the lack of repetition in Western culture is truly at odds with, not only the cultures of Asia and Africa, but nature […]

Contrasting with the beginning of the poem, this section begins to illustrate not the history of Africa, but w […]

The gradual abolition of slavery is therefore wiser and more equitable than its sudden removal.” ( […]
