I talked to head chair that ran this campaign Amy Polewacyzk she said “I have done this campaign at home for several years and I wanted to bring it to Fairfield. I found out this campaign through my Twitter two years without that it wouldn't have been possible for me to start this whole campaign throughout campus.” Without St. Baldricks social media these campaigns around the nation started by individuals wouldn't be possible.

Descent of Alette is an epic poem that shows the relationship between gender, sex, and the human body. By doing so, Notley challenges the traditional form of an epic poem through her use of a female hero and a series of lyric poems that create an epic poem. Here, we see two sets of binaries: female hero/male hero and lyric poem/epic poem. Additionally, these binaries are a function of hierarchy. By resisting traditional binaries, Notley shows equality through an open space for equal…

Hospital. Nervous but optimistic, I stepped into the undersized clinic, ignoring my mother’s warnings to avoid contacts with lepers. I locked eyes with a patient sitting by himself who later became known to me as Ahkil. Over the span of hours, I listened while Akhil recounted his disheartening story of being isolated in a leper colony for five years after his family abandoned him. After telling his story, Ahkil grasped my hand tightly and said, “Dhanyavaad mujhe ek vyakti ke roop mein dekhane ke…

As I walked to my seat, the lights were on, the set was onstage, and “folksy harp music” was playing, or as a classmate described it “Italian bistro music.” The set gave a “Greek” feel with cream columns and walls, and palm trees were behind the set in front of the…
