It seemed like each dancer fed off of the others dancers energy and movements creating a wonderful spectrum

Vanessa Chavez Humanities 10 20 March 2014 Reflection This course has been very interesting because the theme of the class is very different from what I have been used to.

Often littered with satires, comedy or factual narratives - authors showcase their personal opinions on critical issues within their societies. Voltaire and Moliere’s works on social and religious issues are prime examples of this. With unquestionable tenacity, both authors used their writing to question religious authority and denounce religious hypocrisy at a time

We all have our differences. Some are accepted, others are judged and ridiculed until they change or accept the fact that they will be an outcast. It’s the sad truth, but it's the world we live in. Reading Ray Bradbury’s “All Summer in a Day” I realized that differences are good, differences make life interesting and we shouldn't judge others for theirs like Margot was. She was mocked simply for missing the sun--which only appears once every seven years on Venus. She would write poems, talk, and
