Hello all! my name is Kayla Hagerman. I am a returning senior at Wright State University (lake campus) majoring in liberal studies with a focus in humanities. After taking a few years off to raise my daughter I am on a mission to finish on continue on for a master's in Biblical Studies and English. My goal in creating this website is to explore American writings and how through the pieces discussed authors unraveled the tale of America including the good, the bad, and the ugly. We will explore the ever changing stances in God, society and individualism, and what it means to be an "American" author. Along with that I have included other pages with useful literary terminology to better aid in your understanding. Happy reading!
