Seminar

Opening Question 1) Huck has to decide between sending Jim back to Miss Watson or helping him escape to freedom. The “right” decision during the time period would be to send Jim back to a life of slavery where he would most likely be separated from his family, forever. However, as we know now slavery is an inhumane practice, and Huck was beginning to realize that. This realization can be seen during the passage as Huck remembers all of the good times him and Jim had and how great of a person,…

In what ways is Wroblewski weaving the concept of ego into his novel? Which characters are impacted by their ego, and how does this concept affect the meaning of the story as a whole? What does Wroblewski have to say about the nature of people- and of the Universe? Wroblewski weaves the concept of ego in this novel by portraying the Sawtelles as almost like…

During the socratic seminar, I was able to develop my ideas and add depth to my thoughts about the early slave trade. Firstly, my opinions about the content of the letter haven’t changed as much as they’ve developed into a deeper understanding of the content.

Final Paper This year in First Year Seminar I formulated a personal guiding question. This question, to me, represented a fundamental aspect of modern society that I wanted to better understand. I asked… “How can the people of wealthy countries use their wealth to improve the standard of living for those in poverty, domestically and internationally? And why do these people not do more?” I wanted to know how so many people can live in absolute poverty, despite modern technology and the…

The Bluest Eye: Socratic Seminar further analyzed interesting parts of Morrison’s chapter, autumn. First, I thought it was an interesting that white standards of beauty today are not as prominent as it was in the past, but as society evolved these issues plaguing our society has also evolved into different forms. For example, in the modeling career there is diversity among campaigns like Aerie and as Emily experienced first-hand, beauty touches today are with physical makeup instead of edits…

This concern grew into a proposal to conduct a campus-wide seminar to discuss sexual assault in order to increase…
