LaCacia' Ellis

Hello I am LaCacia' Ellis.  I am also a freshman at the University of Kentucky and I am currently studying Human Nutrition.  When reading the novel Beloved I was almost shocked as to how little the characters were educated in the book.  So after reading the novel I had became very interested in the education in the 19th century in the Golden Triangle.  So Sarah and I had started researching the education and literature in the 19th century.  We both think you will be amazed at our findings.

The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows

-Sydney J. Harris

In this blog we will be exploring education and literature throughout the 19th century. In the novel beloved education is used in different ways throughout the golden triangle. The idea of education portrays power through gender, race and age.
