Four recycled essays

The fall semester is over, and I may as well give a few essays a chance to see the light of day. I'll point out, though, that all of these were written in a very short period of time—the first three more so than the last. While I'm not all that fond of any of these, I think that they are all informative. The fourth essay, I would say, is hands down the most insightful, with interesting discussions about multiculturalism, poststructuralism, and the history of literature in the educational system.
