Hrotsvitha wrote liturgical plays that were never performed on stage and became the first medieval woman to write about female spirituality. The main themes Hrotsvit emphasized her writing on was the virginity of woman. In her plays, “Hrotsvit constructs a world in which women’s chastity and asceticism become sources of power and direct links to God and Christ in which male lust is the fault of men, which is seen as un-Christlike” (Wetmore 18). Gallicanus is a satire that focuses on male lust…

I I have to say, I went for this one unprepared. I was going to Brazil for summer break and my mom wanted a mother/daughter bonding trip. Unfortunately, it was less than a week after my finals and I didn't have time to read a single guide, just some general stuff I found on the internet. And I'm usually the kind of person who buys 3 different guides, reads them all and plans every second of the trip.

“Well, over the summer, I was down on Rush street partying with some Marine buddies in on leave. Well, we were pretty lit and so we decided to walk down to the lake to get some air. On the way we passed a couple of gay bars, and in this alley some guy with his pants and underwear down around his ankles is standing there looking at us as another guy is on his knees in front of the guy his head bobbing up and down. Then the guy on his knees must've sensed somebody looking at him and he turned.”…
I grew up in a rural town in Southwest Minnesota. Growing up in a rural town, three simple values were instilled in me: work hard to be excellent at whatever you do, be honest and fair in your interactions with others, and say please and thank you when dealing with the wait staff at restaurants. I have always found politics unappealing, despite my fascination with the cause and effect relationship of public policy. This disconnect has always been confusing to me until I read chapter nine of Neil…

This tribe was one of…
