My Thoughts on J-Term Ever hate something that most people enjoy? J-Term was a chance for all of the students to explore something that was not something necessarily educational, but something that interested them. My J-Term was called exploring athletic careers. I think J-term was super dumb, but if it was improved it could be amazing. During my J-Term I went out and looked at some career options that I could be interested in. After I was done with all of them I decided that I didn't want to…

When does a sin become a sin? In Paradise Lost by John Milton, the seven cardinal sins are represented throughout the novel, and are apparent to the reader since the reader is reading paradise lost post-fall (humans are no longer innocent enough to see this text its original form).

around the biblical story of Genesis, aims to trace the cause and effect leading to the fall of Adam and Eve. In Milton's epic, as a consequence of the fall, language is affected in the poem, creating a different aspect to the language of the pre-fallen Eden. Milton endorses the idea that language itself transitioned from being pure and consisting solely of truth, to a language full of ambiguity and rhetoric, utilized by Satan himself to confuse Adam and…

Mark Twain gives a fresh outlook of this story through “Eve’s Diary” and “Extracts from Adam’s Diary.” He recounts Adam and Eve’s strife and triumphs as the first man and woman on Earth in the form of a satire. Twain displays through humor, stereotyping, and diction Adam and Eve’s valuable lesson: men and women need each other. Some consider humor to be the most entertaining way…
