Why Classic Books Are So Hard to Understand?
Julia Webster, Co-Editor
December 9, 2016
We’ve all been there. Your English teacher assigned you a novel that you just can’t wrap your head around, no matter how hard you try (or didn’t try). It’s the day before your comprehension test, you’re ten pages in and no closer to understanding what “the slings and arrows of outrageous...

Jason Ferris and Julia Webster
November 16, 2016
We settled in cushy chairs with the sweet smell of buttered popcorn and the not-so-sweet sound of moviegoers filling their cheeks with popcorn and crumbling the oversized bites into slop because of the Dr. Strange trailers.

Julia Webster, Co-Editor
November 2, 2016
I had seen the book on my mother’s bookshelf many times before, among other works like Marc Antony and Cleopatra, and My Sister’s Keeper. Curious, bored, and in need of something to read, I picked it up a novel and committed a book lover’s greatest sin: I judged a book by it’s cover. More ap...
