    Avianne Tan Thesis

    In Avianne Tan’s ABC News article “Texas Mother Who Sparked Change to Textbook ‘Downplaying Slavery’ Believes ‘More Needs to be Done’ ” she speaks about a concerned mother who is criticizing the McGraw-Hill company because their history books mention slaves as agreeable immigrants rather than unpaid laborers. Tan explains that McGraw-Hill Education is planning on revising their history textbooks because Roni Dean-Burren, a Texas mother, complained about a caption for a picture that slaves were “immigrants" (1-2).

Tan mentions that in response to Dean-Burren’s criticisms McGraw-Hill stated they would make changes in the digital version of the book, and the company is offering…

    Prietita Y La Llorana Thesis

    This study was inspired by the literary elements in the book Prietita y la llorana. The book used to be passed down orally through generations, until it was published. It demonstrated how literacy was taught and passed on in their culture. Schools in South Texas believe their Mexican-American youth are not at the same literacy level as the rest of the children. However, the Family Institute for Early Literacy (FIELD) used this book to begin a study to see if these children are in fact literate when they begin school, they just aren't aligned with the current standards of teaching. Their goal was to discover the methods that these parents used to teach their children literacy.…

    761st Thesis

    The video we watch regarding the veterans from 761st really sparks a lot of questions within me. I never quite understood why African Americans fought to defend a country that was not their native land. Nor could I figure out why they would want to defend the same people who enslaved them and ignored them even after they helped them win the war. However the video was really insightful because it allowed me to see that we truly are the reason America is so great and without us it would have crumpled. This video shows that if we wanted to make this black america because we have put more into this society than the white man ever could. It was very sad to see that even though those African American males were the reason they won the battle, they still did not get credit until years later.…

    As I Lay Dying Language Analysis

    Addie, the mother of the family, and the driving force behind the deterioration of her family’s world, has a bitter perspective of love and existence. Her internal thoughts, which appear only once in a chapter later in the book, reveal her complicated emotional view towards her painful situation. Her language is dark and cold, and she often reiterates the idea that “words are no good” (page 171). Addie’s voice is of a woman who has only known the empty love of her father, and of Anse, and the hardships of motherhood. Words have never been true to her, and therefore she cannot understand their importance. Her morbid and angry voice is most present when she expresses a want to injure her students, and murder her husband. Her hatred for humanity is clear when she compares them…

    Titian Research Essay

    The Italian Renaissance artist, Titian, was arguably the best painter of the Venetian school. Titian was born in 1488 in Pieve de Cadore, Venice, Italy and died there on August 27, 1576. He mostly composed religious and mythological pictures, setting standards for physical beauty and lust (C.S. Forester, 695). For example, in Titian's work, "Venus and Adonis", he constructed an image of a nude woman viewed from the back reaching for a male in one of his mythological pieces (W.R. Rearick, 25). His reputation has never suffered a decline and was even declared by art theorist, Giovanni Lomazzo, "the sun amidst small stars not only among the Italians but all the painters of the world" (Marco Sampaolo, 696). Titian's two major cycles of paintings of mythological and religious subjects are considered as one of the most influential and crucial creations of the Italian Renaissance. Even today his paintings continue to cloud their image as portrayed by scholars (W.R. Rearick, 23).…
