‘The Outsiders’ gives me a strong sense of loyalty which I find impressive. The characters in the book value loyalty as a general principle of pride and honor regardless of the social class they are in. The concept of pride in one’s kind serves as a significant part among the greasers. They stand up for each other no matter how wrong things can get. In Ponyboy’s view, the existence of loyalty is what holds everyone in his gang together. Everybody...

Girls even told me I appeared “scary” because of my unibrow. Glancing at the faces of my peers, with their blue...

Although the Heart of Darkness is encompassed with the essence of femininity, this novel does not do women justice.

From Marlow's perspective especially, women are treated as fanciful figures, pleasing to the eye, and inferior to the powerful male prowess, and therefore they are shown as incompetent...

I’ve always told people that I’m half Peruvian and half Bolivian. It was quite a different response from my peers who proudly answered that...

However, in between our generational patterns, it seems as though some essential things have been lost. The way men treat women, and vice versa. A certain mutual respect has been forgotten and replaced with an ill-mannered temperament. This vastly shows in, “A Rose for Emily.” Emily’s authoritarian father and his...

As I reflect on teaching and its purpose, I continue to see how diverse the act of teaching really is. There are many definitions for a teacher. Wikipedia describes a teacher as someone who helps students acquire knowledge, competence, or virtue. While this is true, the teaching profession and the purpose of teaching is much more than that definition and encompasses many facets. To me, teaching is a continuous process that requires one to seek out ways and means of...
