In writing the Sea Wolf, Jack London attempted to display the shortcomings of postmodernism and postmodernism's eventual societal dominance by pitting it against a form of humanism. The two worldviews, represented in the characters of Wolf Larsen and Humphrey van Weyden, were in a constant battle throughout the book starting from the time that Van Weyden, a cosmic humanist, was captured by Wolf Larsen, a postmodern materialist, after Van Weyden's ship was sunk in the San Francisco Bay. During…

improving my abilities for future classes, and I believe I would change some parts of the lesson to accommodate and enhance the students’ learning experience. Both lessons taught included types of energies and how that energy is transferred throughout systems in everyday objects.

no clue what to do when they make their first mistake and are expected to fix it on their own. When I first started in this class, I was fixated on the fact that I always made A’s in English throughout my life, so I didn’t change anything about my writing. However, I quickly figured out that the standards for this class, were much higher than what I was used to. The first test was on Researching News Media, I received a sixty-eight as my grade. From that moment on, I knew I had to be responsible…

The authors Giovanni and Brooks would be considered on the opposite sides of the spectrum as far as political and social views. As I read “Racism 101” by Nikki Giovanni and “People like us” by David Brooks I was uninterested at first while reading their pieces due to the fact that I understood everything they were saying.
