"My Fair Lady": Stimulating or Stale?

Are you finding the lyrics stimulating? Yes or no? (You must fill the margins with your thinking. Don't forget to mention and highlight 5 movies, 2 books, 2 historical events, and 2 pieces of important art within your response to these lyrics. This exercise is designed to get you to interact in an academic fashion with a major work from the canon [canon = the "best" of a genre; in this case the genre is drama]. It is due Friday, September 26, and is worth 200 points.)

Jane Gullickson, Esteemed Alum

Isn't Jane Gullickson great? My hope is that she infects us with her enthusiasm, abilities, and concern for others. Our loosely-planned agenda: 1) examining college life--at USD or any institution; 2) taking Spring Break to East St. Louis; and 3) working in government at Pierre.

Do these children have chances to be like Jane? What are the answers to making sure everyone in America truly has all the opportunities they deserve? And did you see the Challenger newspaper article about Jane (this week)?
