and if there “is there any queen at all in it?” (Drafts in Facsimile 15) The search for the queen bee in the poem is evidently a true event as told by Plath in her journals. Without Plath’s real life experience, perhaps there would not be the metaphor of the queen bee. The queen bee and the speaker of the poem become fused together as one.

With this, my audience based research question was the following: how are Mitch and Cam understood by the Japanese American community? To answer the question I created, I…

I recently attended A Christmas Wonderland, a drag show made up of some of RuPaul’s most talent drag queens such as; Roxxxy Andrews, Kim Chi, Latrice Royale, Naomi Smalls and many others. This was unlike any drag show I had been to before because instead of being in a small bar with limited seating and dingy lighting, it was in a real performance hall where the Nutcracker was being performed the following week. The first thing I immediately noticed was just how many different kinds of people…

Furthermore, in the presence of a queen…
