ENGL 1213 20 January 2012 Paulo Freire takes us back to his house in Recife, Brazil where he was born and describes to us the birds, trees, and structure of his home. It is here that Paulo begins to learn to read and have his first experiences with letters, texts and words. Every one of our students’ first experiences with the written word is never going to be the exact duplicate of another. “The texts, the words, the letters of that context were incarnated in a series of things, objects, signs…in

Farva Ashraf Professor Joseph Berenguel English 1004 24 July 2014 The concept of “the Other” is a complex one, and it is hard to pinpoint exactly what it means. Does it have any meaning at all?

When the movie started, I expected them to be from a different planet and living in colonies to survive. I was wrong. The movie was about something else, something, which shows more than just entertainment. This movie must be an eye opener to some people because it shows euthanasia, organ transplant/donation, surrogating, etc. It shows some social issues that are way too taboo to be talked about sometimes, but this movie shows it all. I learned that people will do anything to survive, and that’s

Dr. Chukwuelobe .M. explored the deep contribution of language to Igbo critical thinking via a tasking presentation on the phenomenology of Igbo language taking Igbo proverbs on “okwu” as his point of reflection.

Albert Camus’s 1942 novel The Stranger deals with a myriad of pressing questions. Although The Stranger is relatively short, topics such as absurdism, mortality, and ethical decision-making are littered throughout.
