12 March 2013 Essay #1 Ever wanted to blame the teacher for lack of knowledge on a subject? For the first time ever here is a reason to do so.

Desiree Harding January 17, 2012 Midterm Essay During the first half of the school year, I noticed a recurring theme or idea in the works we have studied. The idea of being honest and giving forgiveness, whether to one’s own self or to others, has occurred in multiple literary works within the last eighteen weeks.

Matthews 1 Calvin Matthews Professor Serna English 102 13 May 2014 Week 1 Initial Thought Paper, Overview on Literature & Writing My experiences with literature and writing are very little as I am only in my 3rd year of college, but I have taken literature very serious even in grade school.
