As a Senior in the Honors College I have taken the core Honors Civilizations Sequence, Honors 111, Honors 112, Honors 211, and Honors 212 in addition to the supplemental Honors Courses: Currents and Contexts [Honors 170] & A Cultural Odyssey [Honors 180].
The following writing samples showcase my work within the Honors College which has shaped my ideas for my Senior Thesis which will focus on the social impacts of early religious literature on women. The following essays track the social impacts of various authors (religious or agnostic/atheist) on social perspectives and positions. From the works of Sappho, to the Torah and Gnostic Gospels, the Communist Manifesto, and various female authors such as Emily Dickinson, Adreinne Rich, and Rachel Carson; My work within the Honors College has helped me grow as a writer and as a person.
