Pamela Haas edited the blog post (Spoiler Free!) Thoughts on Parable of the Talents in the group American Studies: 9 years, 1 month ago

I finished reading Parable of the Talents a few days ago. I was so motivated to read it because I kept finding parallels between Sower and the current state of the country, and I was desperate to understand how Lauren’s journey was concluded. Butler said in an interview that Talents was meant to be “a book of solutions,” (or something simil…[Read more]
Pamela Haas wrote a new blog post Biblical Parables and the Talents in the group American Studies: 9 years, 4 months ago

The Biblical Parable of the Sower, in as brief an account as I can manage, follows a man who sowed seed into three different kinds of land with mixed success. The Parable of the Talents is about a man who went […]
Pamela Haas wrote a new blog post The Consequences of Resentment in the group American Studies: 9 years, 4 months ago

I’ve been considering the origins and effects of resentment for the past two weeks or so since it first came up in class regarding exclusive studying spaces on campus and hypothetical exclusive shelter privileges […]
Pamela Haas wrote a new blog post Housing Loss: The Grief & Other Losses in the group American Studies: 9 years, 5 months ago

I’ve been considering how it affects a person to lose their home as a result of foreclosure, extreme weather, or otherwise. In my dirge essay, I touched on how Lear and Leah were impacted by losing their homes […]
Pamela Haas wrote a new blog post Wages & Real Estate in the group American Studies: 9 years, 5 months ago

I made a few calculations after we watched part of Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House on Friday. I was suspicious while we were watching this because there were a few factors that lead us to believe that Mr. […]
Pamela Haas wrote a new blog post The Exclusivity of Language in the group American Studies: 9 years, 6 months ago

Google defines “doublespeak” as “deliberately euphemistic, ambiguous, or obscure language.” I want to open up with this term because I am well-aware that there is some language used in the real estate business […]
Pamela Haas edited the blog post King Lear & the Housing Crisis in the group American Studies: 9 years, 7 months ago

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to draw some connections between King Lear and the course themes we’ve been talking about. Since reading Act III, I feel a little less lost and confused than I did about how Shakespeare would fit into all of this than I did a week and a half ago. I think there’s much to be said for King Lear, a man who is supposedly in…[Read more]
Pamela Haas wrote a new blog post The Plateaued Poet in the group The Contemporary Poem: 9 years, 8 months ago

Hello, me again, I want to talk about plateaus and my fear of them.

So over the course of this semester, I was (yet again) incredibly amazed by how much I was able to grow as a poet. I remember thinking the […]
Pamela Haas edited the blog post Just a Thought in the group The Contemporary Poem: 9 years, 8 months ago

So I began writing this way back in September and never posted it. Now seems like a good time to finish the thought…

We addressed the question last class (or more like, twelve classes ago) about the importance of bringing the poet into the poetry, and thereby be influenced in our reading of the poem by the poet’s life and background. I kn…[Read more]
Pamela Haas wrote a new blog post Writing Exercise: Mix & Match in the group The Contemporary Poem: 9 years, 9 months ago

For this exercise, the idea is to choose two prompts/exercises, one from the first group, one from the second group in a sort of mix & match. From there, blend the two together and see what comes out.
