Stuff I've Written
Since I'm a highly verbal person and relate to the world primarily through words (and also since I'm a college student and we have to write all the time anyway), I write a lot of things. So I thought, "Hey, you have a website--why not shamelessly plug your work?" :)
This is the place where I put anything I like that I've written, be it poetry or stories or something I had to do as a result of my liberal arts education (i.e. schoolwork). Enjoy, verbophiles! (See what studying Classical language and culture can do for you? :)).
My "final exam" for my 300-level Greco-Roman history course. (It's actually a 14 page paper)
Another of my famous titles :) This is the semester project for my 300-level Greco-Roman history class. I really can't believe I got 15 pages worth of stuff on this topic. (My professor thought it was intriguing, but nuts).
Last semster I took a Roman History and Civilization course. One of the things our professor (who is awesome, by the way) had us do was a "simulation" of the Ides of March, 44 BCE (Before Current Era, aka BC). The simulation was a tad difficult for me, being as it was an improvised play and I had to run around and kill/avoid being killed by people, but what he also had us do was a creative writing assignment: we had to write a journal entry as our character on the morning of March 15. I was Marcus Antonius (if you haven't guessed).
See my grade for this one, too.
Can you believe I came up with this title five minutes before the paper was due? :) This is my essay for English 101 on "The Turn of the Screw" by Henry James. (It's also a testament to my abstraction skills: you can't get much more abstract than Henry James!).
In the tradition of "Mrs. Dalloway" and "Ulysses," (okay, not really), this little one-scene wonder takes place in a very small unit of time--mostly because of my poor organizational skills. Viva the mundane, the mid-eighties, and--last but certainly not least--dialogue! :)
