Sarah Lawrence College

courses to the donning system, I could feel that Sarah Lawrence College indeed respects its students and cares about them since all of them are given equal opportunities to ask questions or express their own thoughts to their faculties personally.

I believe Sarah Lawrence is for the creative nomads that chase the ever-fleeting storm of being an artist- a storm that demands the articulation of feelings and concepts that will forever challenge and cause us to grow and define what it means to be human. William Lawrence’s emphasis on the arts as a crucial element to the evolution of society resonates so profoundly within me; I wish to take part in a school that seeks to use art as a tool to impact others and I. I visualize Sarah Lawrence as a…

While still living in the Jim Crow era of racial segregation, her family resisted against having landlords who would have African-Americans be sharecroppers. These landlords didn’t believe African-Americans needed an education. When Walker was eight, she was wounded accidentally when her brother shot her with a BB gun in…

obtains caretakers. During her early life and due to being born in 1944, Alice Walker attended segregated schooling. At the age of eight her brother accidentally on purpose shot her in the eye using a BB gun (Jokinen). Since the family was poor, they did not have a car. Therefore Walker could not reach a hospital until a week later. Scar tissue formed over the wound in her eye and she became incredibly shy and self-conscious. She no longer felt like she fit in with the other students and looked…

Above all things in life I believe we should value opportunity. It is what drives us to be better, inspires us to engage with others, and beyond all, forces us to apply ourselves in a way that ensures our ambitions don’t stay idealistic aims. In everything I do, I search for opportunities that are best fit for me, and help to ensure my overall success. This is why I am choosing to apply to Sarah Lawrence, I feel that the values the school holds align so closely with my own. I, like many other…

delivers a prophecy and blessing to the child that Hagar was carrying (Gen. 16:10-12). Upon hearing the words of the angel, Hagar has a change of character; and instead of submitting to standard social norms she takes initiative of her own and “names” the LORD, the sacred power who spoke to her, El-Roi (Gen. 16:13). Genesis 21 is a continuation of the previous narrative, which adds to the already dramatic tale of Hagar and her son Ishmael. The chasm in the relationship between Sarah and Hagar…

Hospitality is regarding highly in the culture. This can be seen in Abraham and Sarah’s response to the strangers. The culture also was dominated by men and women’s roles are assumed…

It was another pandemonium day locked up in a place where no one wants to be. All I heard was someone yelling my name Sarah Sarah get up you have a phone call All I could smell was bleach and clorox. With the sour taste of my morning breath on my lips, I sluggishly get off my cot, And went to the phone. It was my caseworker. I had asked her what she wanted and she told me that she wanted to talk. I asked her what about and she told me that she would talk to me about it when she got there.…

Sarah (originally named Sarai) was one of several women in the Bible who were unable to have children. That proved doubly distressing for her because God had promised her husband Abraham that he would be the father of the Jewish nation, with descendants more numerous than the stars in the sky. After waiting many years, Sarah convinced Abraham to sleep with her handmaiden, Hagar, to produce an heir. That was an accepted practice in ancient times. The child born of that encounter was named…

As already outlined, the first phase of Fanon’s model is demonstrated in Abram’s journey to Egypt. Abram leaves the land of Haran because there is a severe famine (Genesis 12:10). The Pharaoh does not invite Abram to Egypt. Rather, he goes there, at the command of the Lord, looking to exploit resources because there are none in his country. The second phase materializes in this narrative as Abram and Sarai take Hagar and the other slaves out of Egypt to the land of Canaan. Although Hagar is of…
