    Seldom in my night dreams do I discern any real relation to my daily, waking life. So I am surprised that my final waking this morning came as a result of a poetry dream, of all things. There I was, walking along a sidewalk and I came upon that part of a front yard where the house stands close enough to the street that the front yard is narrow, in this case maybe just 15 feet from sidewalk to structure. Pine trees provided some shade with one in particular that offered a wide swath of shade extending on over to the front of the foremost room with its large bay picture window.…

    In Davis Guggenheim’s documentary, He Named me Malala, Toor Pekai Yousafzai and her daughter, Malala, discussed their contrasting childhood schooling, which revealed how drastically a child's education can change their viewpoint of the world when they reach adulthood. Malala proudly expresses, “school was my home” (Guggenheim), to elucidate how comfortable she is at school and to show her devotion to her education. Malala’s father was a school teacher and taught his daughter to appreciate the chance to acquire knowledge, something many girls in Pakistan did not get the opportunity to do with the Taliban’s strict guidelines.

    In my Opinion Sherman Alexie wrote “The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me” with the purpose of informing the reader of the challenges he faced as a young Indian boy that “The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie was not supposed to be educated by societies standards.

The purpose of this essay is to indicate how one does not need to be affluent to learn. In the piece, Alexie opened up by saying he learned to read in a “Superman Comic book” (28).…

    Brian’s lecture was really interesting, and got me thinking about the kinds of social justice that I am passionate about. I am really not one for participating in rallies or anything like that, so I figured I was not right for social justice, but after reading in On Being a Therapist I realized social justice can be really varied. He talks about how he has a foundation for helping girls in Nepal to stay in school, because many families who cannot afford school for all of their children sometimes sell their daughters to brothels (Kottler, 2010). I am passionate about women’s rights and it would be incredible to be able to be involved in some kind of social justice that works to advocate for women not just in America but all over the world. But again, this is where cultural competency and understanding addressing frameworks comes into play: equality and empowerment does not look the same to me as it does to women in India, Japan, or…
