Throughout my college career, I had the privilege of writing papers on pop culture topics I was interested in, specifically anime and Batman. I was very excited to work on and complete these papers, and I'm even more excited to feature them on this website. I hope you enjoy reading them!
My first paper involving anime arguing that this medium can be used for more than entertainment purposes by examining "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood."
In this paper, I compare the madness of the Joker from "The Killing Joke" with Ralph Ellison's "Invisible Man." This paper will also be published in Wingate University's Research Review, the campus's academic journal of student work.
My Honors Thesis that I completed during my final semester at Wingate, this paper explores the ideas of personhood by examining characters from "Attack on Titan" and "Hellsing Ultimate" through a philosophical lens.
The paper examines existentialist themes presented in both "Attack on Titan" and "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood."
This paper examines the discriminatory treatment of blacks in Richard Wright's "Native Son" and Twilights in Koshke's "Gangsta."
