and Roccanti make a valuable point in terms of the difference in relevance between YA and canonical texts when they state, “Contemporary YAL addresses content such as cultural norms revolving around technology that is simply not applicable to older canonical texts” (32). This demonstrates the crucial difference between young adult literature and the canon; YAL is modern, while the canon is outdated. Therefore, excluding YAL from classrooms is preventing students from reading about important modern issues relevant to their own lives, because such issues did not exist when many canonical texts were written. Additionally, YAL is much more diverse than the canon and includes many culturally diverse authors (Rybakova & Roccanti 32). Reading YA books in the classroom would be more inclusive towards students from other cultures and feature more works they can relate too. It would also help to educate all students about different cultures and issues within those cultures. Reading a diverse variety of YA books makes students more open minded and aware of the world around them. There are many YA books, such as Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief, that are set during real historical events (Rybakova & Roccanti 36). Such texts are useful for not only educating students about events in history, but giving them a more in-depth understanding of them. Most teenagers prefer young adult texts over canonical texts, and it is mostly what they choose to read on their own time (Rybakova & Roccanti…

In 2015, a group of New Testament scholars, Ben C. Blackwell, John K. Goodrich, and Jason Maston compiled a published book that presents the historical context of Romans through the literature that was present at the time of the composition of the Roman epistle, namely, the Second Temple Judaism era.

the ranges of non-canonical amino acids. It is shown that misacetylationi in polypeptides show an increase in specific disease. Site-specific incorporation of genetic code reprogramming have demonstrated powerful techniques for investigation proteins and as a tool for biologically-mediated organic chemical synthesis of peptides. The replacement of amino acids with the non-canonical amino acid allows scientist to understand the role of a specific amino acid in the polypeptide molecules. This new…

Man of La Mancha and Don Quixote The film Man of La Mancha is a movie that is based on both Don Quixote and its canonical collection, making it a more loosely canon piece within the canon. The film, which was released in 1972, is originally based off the 1964 musical of the same name. The musical itself is also based upon a 1959 teleplay, making the movie actually a canon piece based on a canon piece based on another canon piece based upon the original material. If that isn’t crazy, I don’t know…
