Taking Refuge In “How:” Dissecting The Motives Behind Cholly’S Rape In The Bluest Eye, Rebecca Andrews
Undergraduate Review
Most parents see parts of themselves in their children. They see their own familiar eyes, their sense of humor, and their long legs. Parents desire to nurture their child’s every hope and dream, and also want to raise their children in a safe and secure environment. However, what if a father saw in his daughter everything that he hated in himself? What if this same father never learned to love in a nurturing way from his own parents? The effects would be devastating. Toni Morrison examines such a scenario in her 1970 novel The Bluest Eye through the rape Pecola …
Moral Lessons For Muggles: Aristotelian Virtue And Friendship In J.K. Rowling’S Harry Potter Series, Laurie Delaney
Moral Lessons For Muggles: Aristotelian Virtue And Friendship In J.K. Rowling’S Harry Potter Series, Laurie Delaney
Undergraduate Review
The appeal of the Harry Potter series for adults is often attributed to its ability to speak to fundamental questions of human existence.

Mark Twain's Roughing It: A Humorist's Darker Side, Joseph Yokelson
Mark Twain's Roughing It: A Humorist's Darker Side, Joseph Yokelson
Bridgewater Review
Roughing It was based rather roughly on a period of Twain’s life that began in 1861, when Twain went west with his brother Orion. Orion had been appointed Secretary of the Nevada territory with the help of friend who had a friend in Lincoln’s new cabinet. Twain had just faded quietly out of the Confederate army after suffering from boils and a sprained ankle and never firing a shot. For a while out west, Twain prospected for silver around Virginia City; then for about two years he was a reporter for the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise. In 1864 he drifted …
