Phillis Wheatley is a female, African-American poet in the 1770's who was sold into slavery at a young age. This image portrays what Wheatley was able to accomplish despite her background and social status. Which the top of this image, I believe, represents by stating "Phillis Wheatley, Negro Servant to Mr. John Wheatley of Boston." Wheatley is also writing in this image which is uncommon for females and African-American slaves to become educated within this time period in writing and reading.

Each novel discusses how gothic horror is incorporated within each novel. Although, while reading the summaries of each novel, I found a relation between each novel based on the psychological battle of each main character. Each character battled the feeling of guilt and not being in control of ones self. ]]> 2019-10-11 23:21:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ennsj1/vmha65a32gb1/wish/396908603 ennsj1 https://padlet.com/ennsj1/vmha65a32gb1/wish/399771359 “Cities make ferocious men because they make corrupt men. The mountains, the sea, the forest, make savage men; they develop the fierce side, but often without destroying the humane side.”
 ―  Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

In class we brought up the topic of the difference of uncivilized savages and noble savages or if their is even a difference at all. I picked this quote because Hugo creates a visual about the world on how the world corrupts people or creates savages/noble savages. I interpreted this as their are different kinds of corrupt and savage people. But what makes one noble are those who understand the world by its creation and are humane. ]]> 2019-10-19 00:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ennsj1/vmha65a32gb1/wish/399771359 ennsj1 https://padlet.com/ennsj1/vmha65a32gb1/wish/405673146 In class we discussed "The Female Marine" and the character that she put on. In my British literature class, we recently discussed the female pirates, Mary Read and Anne Bonny, who dressed up as men in order to be a pirate and happen to both become pregnant on board. This reminded me of Lucy except she escaped the life of a woman after getting pregnant by dressing up as a male in order to be a sailor. ]]> 2019-11-02 00:49:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ennsj1/vmha65a32gb1/wish/405673146 ennsj1 https://padlet.com/ennsj1/vmha65a32gb1/wish/408949841 In Washington Irving's Excerpt, "The Legend of Sleepy Hallow" describes a more popular myth about the headless horseman. This myth has been told and brought up all these years through a humorous context such as Halloween. Also, the headless horseman is a portrayal of the super-natural and is discussed even today. This image provides a visual context/representation of a book about the myth on the headless horseman and is sold in stores.]]> 2019-11-09 03:23:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ennsj1/vmha65a32gb1/wish/408949841 ennsj1 https://padlet.com/ennsj1/vmha65a32gb1/wish/412126595 This article discusses the influence Puritanism has on American culture based on moral beliefs and liberty/freedom. America is founded on moral rights and liberty i.e. freedom speech, freedom of religion, etc. So Puritan's believe they influenced American culture based off their religious beliefs and because they were one of the first religions in America. ]]> 2019-11-16 01:58:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ennsj1/vmha65a32gb1/wish/412126595 ennsj1 https://padlet.com/ennsj1/vmha65a32gb1/wish/415568615 This article discusses the affects and opinions the novel, "Hope Leslie," and the author Sedgwick had using the characters voices. The article uses "...a historical perspective to illustrate contemporary conflicts and issues that arose with the establishment of the United States of America as an independent nation, and Jacksonian American debates over the presence of women in the public realm." Magawisca and Hope represent historical and modern day voices for society by contributing to woman leadership roles and voices.]]> 2019-11-23 00:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ennsj1/vmha65a32gb1/wish/415568615
