Katherine commented on the post, Kinda My Thing
Holley, this is all really interesting! All of the pets you own sound amazing and as someone who loves rats, it was very exciting to read that you have six of them.

I thought your second source was especially interesting and I never thought that the female body would lead people to believe that women were more likely to worship the devil. I look forward to seeing what your next set of…Read More

This is very interesting to look at. It is very apparent that Hughes is still influential today and I didn’t necessarily realize that. Maybe it would be good to look on the larger societal effect and how these tropes influenced by Hughes’ work have indirectly affected society.
