    On “The Marrow of Tradition” As “The Marrow of Tradition” hurtles towards its conclusion, its author, Charles Chesnutt, has two of its main characters – the half-sisters Mrs. Carteret and Mrs. Miller – stand “face to face” for the very first time.

It is likewise interesting that Chesnutt chooses to use the adjective “striking” to describe their resemblance at all; the adjective certainly denotes a sense of conspicuousness, but it also denotes a sense of violence. (The adjective “striking,” curiously enough, also denotes beauty. Who – or what – could…

I noticed that in the initial intervention I only asked one closed-ended question and none in the alternative statements. I also noticed that I am better at having more of a conversation-based intake with clients at my practicum site, just by rewording the…

    Rosellini’s Portrayal of Marina as Everywoman, Ingrid As A Wicked Temptress, In Rome, Open City Roberto Rossellini’s neorealist film, Rome Open City, is reflective of the turbulent climate in Italy during Nazi and Fascist occupation in World War II.
