Throughout my life, my mother showed her love for me through making yummy foods and teaching me traditional dishes that are made in our family. My mom always makes matzah ball soup for our family for passover, […]

For the first time all semester, the weather has broken 80 degrees and it has been lovely outside. I have been spending as much time as possible soaking up the sun and picnicking with friends, however we recently […]

During the 2021 school year, the College of Wooster undertook a project to renovate Lowry, the main dining location on campus. For the past year or so, students have been instructed to enter Lowry from one […]

Today’s lunch, while delicious, ended up upsetting my stomach quite a bit. At the International station Lowry workers were serving potstickers with rice, one of my favorites. However I quickly noticed that after […]

I thought this was a very interesting view point and I agree with what you’re saying. The son was never explicitly described as gay, it was just assumed by his father because of the hobbies he pursued, and those […]

I loved your thoughts on dressing however makes you happy; I think that is such an important message to spread today. Clothes do not have a gender, and nobody should be ashamed to wear what makes them happy. As to […]

After listening to the poetry reading by Aaron Coleman, I was intrigued by 2 of his poems, Viciousness in Ends and A Fire She Loved. What I found especially interesting about Viciousness in Ends was how he […]

In the film and short story The Sky is Grey, a preacher and a young man have an argument in the dentist’s office. The young man explains to the preacher that, to believe blindly in religion is to be corrupted a […]

I absolutely agree with you. Spike Lee did an amazing job with the film, but Chris McNair suffered so much with the loss of his daughter and through his life, and Spike Lee had never gone through that. Spike Lee […]

I really like your perspective and analysis of these two films. I also agree with what you are saying; while 4 LIttle Girls was heartbreaking, but it doesn’t push the message that the fight must continue. BOYCOTT […]

I believe that the ending of BOYCOTT was more effective than the ending of 4 Little Girls mainly because of how the two endings made me feel. After watching BOYCOTT, I felt the impact of what had occurred at the […]

I definitely agree with what you are saying here. One of the main reasons white people of this time did not want segregation to occur was out of fear; one reason they were afraid that black people would want to […]

In Melba Beal’s memoir Warriors Don’t Cry, Mebla describes Link as a hero, however this title is contested by some. It can be argued that Link should have stood up for Melba, should have confronted his friends a […]

In the TedTalk led by Brittany Cooper, she discusses the non-linear aspects of time; it is virtually impossible, she explains, to be post racism (for example), because saying that implies that there was a time […]

In the novel ‘Jonah’s Gourd Vine’ (Hurston, 1933), main character John believes that he is a good person, a man of G-d even, despite hurting many people around him. His first fault began when he married a young […]

I liked your thoughts on the spellings of words in both the poem and the film. As another student wrote in their post, many of the writers/creators of the film Hallelujah were not black, thus making it more […]

I loved your take on the dichotomy between Chick and Zeke, and completely agree that movie seemed insignificant without that underlying message. Additionally, the music in this film created the mood in many scenes […]
