Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Plath also wrote one comparing looking at your face in the mirror and seeing age approaching with a fish rising from the bottom of a lake. I don't remember whether it's called "Mirror" or "Fish," but I think it's a one-word noun title. Can anyone help with this?

I will also have my students memorize and recite it, so I'd like it to be of reasonable length. Sylvia Plath's "Metaphors" came to mind, but I'm having second thoughts on whether or not it might be considered inappropriate or if it would make the kids uncomfortable to recite it. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated! Cathy
