About Me
|
My Name is Madelyn and I am a Sophomore at Texas Christian University. I am from Boise, Idaho and I love to be outside. When I have free time, I like to go on hikes, waterski and spend time with my family and friends. I just finished reading Wild by Cheryl Strayed. If you are looking for a new book to read this summer, I highly recommend, it is a great read.
This summer I am going to be working as an intern at Agri Beef, where I will hopefully be able to try out different areas of business and by the end of the summer pick my major. Right now I am in the pre business program at TCU. The 1960's was a time of great change for the United States. Young people everywhere rebelled and protested for many issues the US was dealing with at the time. I explore these issues throughout my three papers. I explore Vietnam protests and the pro-drug culture of the 1960's in my paper "More then a Song about Drugs". In my film analysis paper "Propaganda in A Raisin in the Sun", I talk about the cultural shifts of the 1960's displayed in the film, A Raisin in the Sun. In my rhetorical analysis paper "The Mother Earth Movement", I analyze 2 primary sources from the 1960's that were a fundamental piece of the Mother Earth Movement. |

“Change means growth, and growth can be painful. But we sharpen self-definition by exposing the self in work and struggle together with those whom we define as different from ourselves, although sharing the same goals"
