A Reflection on The Book Thief
Book Stats: The Book Thief, written by Markus Zusak, was published in 2005. Curled up on the sofa beside the fireplace, I began reading the book in the silence of the room. The tick-tock of the grandfather clock provided a lulling backdrop, allowing me to immerse myself in the story. A 'dong' from the clock told me an hour had passed, and I was done with the book. Here's my opinion on it.

Rachel Reviews: Eye For An Eye By M.J. Arlidge
This is not a book for the faint of heart as it deals with the controversial subject of what we should do with child offenders. Should we release them back into the community under assumed aliases to protect them from retribution or should we deliver our own form of justice on them, when the legal system seemingly fails the victims in allowing their killers to rebuild their lives?

Embracing Queer Identity: Navigating the Heartland
Introduction: The heartland of the United States is often depicted as a bastion of tradition and conservative values, where the concept of queerness may seem out of place or even taboo. Yet, within this seemingly homogeneous landscape, there exists a rich tapestry of queer experiences and identities waiting to be explored. In this article, we delve into the journey of discovering and embracing queerness in the Midwest, a region where pride was once perceived as belonging to others. Through personal reflections and insights, we uncover the complexities of navigating queerness in a conservative environment, the challenges faced, and the triumphs achieved. By shedding light on these experiences, we hope to foster understanding, empathy, and acceptance, and to celebrate the resilience and courage of queer individuals in the heartland.

[Analysis] Romance vs. Love Story
Being involved in numerous reading groups, I often witness to people sharing their disappointment in the “love story” they just finished. Often, the complaints centre around the fact that these stories do not adhere to the standard “romance” tropes and, thus, have not delivered what the reader was seeking when they picked the story up. Further inquiries into precisely what upset the reader typically led me to the same conclusion: very few individuals understand the difference between a love story and a romance, and those who are left disappointed in the love story they consumed are often disappointed because they were expecting a romance.

Revelatory Realism in Ibsen’s "A Doll's House"
[Author's Note: this article is an analysis of a play by Henrik Ibsen. It can be found here: A Doll's House.] During the mid-19th Century, the literary world was loosening its embrace of Romanticism, with its idealized and emotional view of the world. A new literary movement was afoot in Europe, which came to be known as Realism. Within the field of drama, Realism involved “the direct observation of human behavior…to deal with everyday life and problems as subjects” (Trumbull 2009). Though Realism was birthed in France and later took a strong foothold in Russia, one of the primary innovators of Realism in the theater was a Norwegian playwright, Henrik Ibsen. Having shed the limitations of Romanticism, Henrik Ibsen utilized Realism in his play, A Doll’s House, to lay bare the social mores of his era that dictated the status of women. Written in 1879, A Doll’s House is one of a series of “problem plays”, so named “because of their engagement of social issues such as women’s place in society” (Kennedy and Gioia 2016).
