Two books that I was assigned for my class on British literature was Lewis Caroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/ Through the Looking Glass and Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie. Both are classic children's stories that I was familiar with growing up, but it wasn't until I read them this year that I realized that both... Continue Reading →
Throughout the Bible, one of the things we see quite often is the theme of the need of a mediator between man and God. The most obvious example of this, of course, is Christ himself, but there was foreshadowing of the need for a perfect mediator (Christ) in the Old Testament as well. So, let's... Continue Reading →
Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë are two of the greatest female authors to have ever lived. Charlotte Brontë, having been born a year before Austen died, was familiar with her work and famously said of Pride and Prejudice in a letter to George Henry Lewes in January 1848: “Miss Austen being, as you say, without 'sentiment,'...

If any of you guys have been with me since I first started my blog (thank you if you have been), you'll know that one of the first book reviews I ever wrote on here was a review of Charlotte Bronte's book, Jane Eyre, a book that I thoroughly disliked for what I saw to... Continue Reading →
Mary Shelley was an interesting person. Her father was an atheist and encouraged her to adhere to his anarchist political beliefs. She had a rich education and when she was a teenager, she was the mistress, then wife of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. That meant that she had many social connections with prominent writers...

After last Friday's break from this series, we're back with another claim, though I hadn't seriously heard of this accusation until a few months ago. Did I know that some people claimed that the Bible is evil because of that gosh darn patriarchy? Yes. Did I take it seriously? No. I thought it was just... Continue Reading →
Of all of Jane Austen's books, I think Northanger Abbey gets the least recognition. If it hadn't been for the fact that my copies of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility are both annotated, I probably never would've heard about it, much less read it. However, here we are. I read Northanger Abbey and... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since I did one of these posts. The last OG story series was either The Tale of Myfanwy back in December or The Spotlight (which was hilarious). Thus, with this month's theme of exploring stories set around the Regency era, I figured that I should post a short story that I... Continue Reading →
It's the last week of Black History Month before we transition into Women's History Month, so it's time to talk about a book that combines those two factors: supposed racism and a good female protagonist (as well as being written by a woman). If you're tired of hearing me talk about banned books, don't worry.... Continue Reading →
I'm a junior in high school (yes, I know I'd stop saying "I'm in high school," but this is relevant to the illustration I'm about to give you). That said, one of the mandatory courses I have to take this semester is economics, a class that I initially dreaded taking, but eventually found to be... Continue Reading →
