I found Catherine Ramsdell’s Storytelling, Narration, and the “Who I Am” Story to be quite fascinating, in which she stresses the importance of story telling. Ever since I was young, reading story had always been a part of my life. Whether it be, as Catherine put it, “a book to curl up with on a cold rainy afternoon, a movie to share with a bes…[Read more]

It’s crazy how big of an impact the way we speak have in the way we view people. After reading “Mother’s Tongue” by Amy Tan, it made me reflect how I was before.

Even though the Indian laws…[Read more]

My topic is abortion. I did not choose this topic because I can relate to it in any way, but I found it to be very interesting. Abortion is a world issue that isn’t commonly talked about in families.
