Service Learning Project During March of 2016, my church held its annual Easter Mission Trip to San Antonio.

My hometown of Walhalla, South Carolina, is perched above the…

Kennedy and Sons, who had built around fifty…

In Translations, by Brian Friel, language is used as a mechanism to feature the many issues of communication within the characters’ small Irish village. Throughout the play, Friel attempts to advocate for the Irish language because he believes that language represents one’s identity and historical background. Unfortunately, the town, and specifically the local school, have been appropriated by British officers, whose main goal is to transition the school into an entirely English-spoken school,…
