The moment that Hawaii Five-O aired on TV when I was 12, I knew that I would be able to count on watching it with my family every time it aired. We put aside our individual tasks and problems and gathered around the TV every Friday to watch Five-O. The shows characters gave prominent examples of leadership, honor, and morals, and many lessons from the show still stick with me today. Hawaii Five-O taught me a lot of things about family and what’s really important, and it brought me closer to my…

In the second chapter of, “Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent” by Eduardo Galeano had a lot of information in it. The chapter also had a ton of themes going on, but the three most important themes in my opinion that I thought was represented in the chapter repeatedly was slaves and cheap workers such as peasants.

The Iranian Revolution may not seem like the ideal situation for humour to be applied, but humour is seen often in Marjane Satrapi’s graphic novel Persepolis; a book retelling Satrapi’s childhood during the revolution. Although her story is littered with the tragedy and brutality of oppression and war, the horrors she experienced are often combined with funny moments that seem impossible in her situation. The premise of humour may seem out of place in a graphic novel about a terrible time, the…

This place of dirt networks, flat-roofed houses, and loud, crowded streets was where I grew up. It was the identity and the entire world to my young…
