Writing circle

On Friday November 13, I had the pleasure of seeing one of Moliere’s most famous theatrical comedies, Tartuffe, performed at the University Theatre of Cal State San Bernardino Ronald E. Barnes Theatre. In the play, Orgon, a wealthy Parisian patriarch falls under the influence of a hypocrite named Tartuffe. Luckily, Tartuffe’s antics do not fool the rest of the family or friends. In order to show Orgon how terrible Tartuffe really is, his wife Elmire, takes matters into her own hands. She…

Yet after reading chapter one in Teaching Writing: Balancing Process and Product, I began to get the sense that the simplicity of the writing process lends itself to be applied in a variety of…

Using female pronouns instead of male pronouns goes against a bunch of unspoken rules of writing, making this an intriguing read.

Knowing this then sprouted a plethora of conversation…
