One of the problems that the modern church has had for a very long time is that it's incredibly ignorant of what else is out there. That doesn't mean that they don't know about other religions existing, but rather that they don't know what these religions teach. Some of this is accidental, with people just... Continue Reading →
In the play Pygmalion, the linguist Henry Higgins picks up Eliza Doolittle, a young woman from a poor family who speaks in very crude dialect of English. Believing he can change her manner of speaking, he makes a bet with his colleague that, given enough time and lessons, he will be able to pass her... Continue Reading →
Aaaanndd...once again it's time to do a review about a book I was required to read for school this year. Having only five weeks of school left before summer break, the books required for my British Literature class seem to be ending with a bang. Most recently, I finished C.S.

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...
