Raoul Wallenberg—A Candle in the Dark Catastrophic events rooted from mankind are not foreign to human history, however, neither are saviors.

From the suburban household with a husband at work, wife at home and their children, playing in the front yard. Brought upon many changes in the past couple of years to the staple of the nuclear family. Yet the traditional family still survives today, only to integrate and become a category among the varied families that now shape the new American society. This melting pot of families has…

another, how our families are formed, and what classrooms look like today. I believe more behaviors are endorsing gender norms than challenging them. Language is something we learn at a very young age, what we do not learn is that it is filled with gendered biased words that have become second nature for us, as humans, to use.

Even our lives can be considered our own personal narratives in which we are the writer, the main character and often times the reader. “Life as a Narrative” demonstrates how certain events, both minor and major, can alter the course of the story. In our own life narratives we are the main character but in another person’s narrative we may be just a guest appearance in a particular episode…
