In order to make a deconstructive analysis of William Blake’s “The Little Black Boy” (Blake, 1789) the first element that needs to be considered is the title itself.

Just by reading the title we know that the poem is going to deal with a young male character that happens to be black.
Blake is considered one of the most important figures of the Romantic period in England, and this is important…
The early life of the Spanish poet Rosalía de Castrowas marked by shame and pain. She was born without a surname and it was not until a few years had gone by that she finally received it. Teresa de Castro, her biological mother, decided eventually to raise her and had to face the judgements of the society after giving Rosalía her family name.

In this short story the topic of carnal love and sin are unmistakably related. …
It is a well-known fact that the older a person gets, the less interest they show in new technologies.

And this is one of the main reasons why old-fashioned teachers must be aware of the importance of ICTs in the classroom, because a teacher must keep learning and improving.
On the one hand, these kinds of teachers might argue that their methodologies have always been effective without…

Introduction:
- Brief History: “The Raj”
Krioor Sierra Leonean Creole, an English-based creole, is the most spoken language of Sierra Leone. The abolition of slavery played a very important role in the creation of this creole because its native speakers are descendants of slaves that were freed from the United States and the Caribbean, the Krios. The Kriosalso known as Sierra Leone Creole people, landed between the 18thand 19thcenturies in the capital of Sierra Leone, Freetown. This city was founded in 1792 by the British with the support of the abolitionists with the purpose to receive the freed African American and West Indies slaves.
