I feel that we are made to sympathize with Captain […]

I had recently re-watched this movie a few days ago and when ideas of narrative were being thrown around […]

Many of these techniques can be found within the two poems that are the subject of our first paper. Of all of the techniques […]

It’s really cool to think about how our identities, culture and experiences inform how we use and interpret language. I also liked how Hector brought up […]

For example […]
