do you think if 1984 were required reading in every english class this sort of thing would still need to happen?
what if chomsky and althuser were introduced in freshman year instead of shakspeare and maya angelou?
I teach english at a small elementary school in Yangju, South Korea. There's a dog farm, some rice fields, a dairy, and some grave yards nearby — not to mention various and assorted factories, militarized sites, and eateries.
I was born in Hawaii to mid-western parents who met in the Peace Corps. My father boasted about Malians making swords out of car springs. I have yet to see that sort of ingenuity in South Korea.
This picture of me was taken at Longs Moiliili, about a week before I left Hawaii.
My biggest dream is to be happy — and it happens every fucking day of my life.
