CUPID AND PSYCHE
This presentation summarizes the myth of Cupid and Psyche. It introduces the characters of Cupid, Psyche, and Venus, and the settings of Cupid's palace, Mount Olympus, and the Underworld. It then describes the plot, where Psyche angers Venus with her beauty and is given impossible tasks by Venus, but completes them with help. Psyche looks upon Cupid in curiosity and falls into a deep sleep. Jupiter intervenes and makes them immortal so they can live happily ever after. The moral of the story is about the importance of trust, perseverance, and sacrifice in love.
Greek Flower Myths
Flowers are considered very beautiful in Greece due to their scarcity in the rugged landscape. Several Greek myths explain the origins of particular flowers, usually arising from tragic stories of love, rejection and death. Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in a pool and died gazing at it, and the narcissus flower grew where he lay. Hyacinthus was accidentally killed by Apollo during a game, and the hyacinth flower sprang from his spilled blood. Adonis was fatally gored by a boar while hunting, and the anemone flower grew from his blood on the earth.
Dead star
The story "Dead Stars" by Paz Marquez-Benitez is about a love triangle between Alfredo, Esperanza, and Julia in the early 1900s in the Philippines. Alfredo is engaged to Esperanza but meets Julia and falls in love with her. However, due to societal expectations and not wanting to hurt Esperanza, Alfredo marries Esperanza instead of pursuing his love for Julia. The story explores themes of forbidden love and having to make difficult relationship choices due to family and societal pressures.
Baucis and philemon
Baucis and Philemon were an elderly married couple who lived alone in a small hut beside a lake. When Zeus and Hermes, disguised as travelers, came seeking food and shelter during a storm, all the homes in the nearby town turned them away except for Baucis and Philemon, who welcomed them into their home and shared their meager meal. The travelers revealed themselves as gods and punished the inhospitable town by flooding it, sparing only Baucis and Philemon. As a reward for their kindness, the gods granted the couple's wishes to have their hut replaced with a golden temple and to die together, which they did by transforming into a pair of trees that still stand ent

Pandora's box is a Greek myth about the first human woman, Pandora, created by Zeus as punishment for humanity. Pandora was given a sealed jar containing all the evils of the world by Zeus and told not to open it. Due to her curiosity, Pandora opened the jar, releasing evil into the world. The myth explains the existence of evil and suffering as a result of human disobedience. It has since become a metaphor for any source or situation that may seem innocuous but could lead to unforeseen and unpleasant consequences.

Grief-stricken, Orpheus traveled to the underworld and his music moved Hades to agree to return Eurydice on the condition he not look back at her until they reached the world of the living.

The lesser Gods of earth
The document summarizes some of the lesser gods and other beings associated with Earth in Greek and Roman mythology. It describes Demeter and Dionysus as major fertility goddesses and gods of the earth. It also discusses the goat-god Pan and his followers the satyrs, as well as Silenus, Castor and Pollux, woodland nymphs, and the winds. Additionally, it mentions centaurs, gorgons, graiae, sirens, and the fates as beings that were neither fully human nor divine that lived on Earth.
Homer
Homer was a blind poet who lived between 1150 BC and 800 BC and is best known for writing down two epic poems, The Iliad and The Odyssey, that describe events during the Trojan War and its aftermath. The Iliad focuses on Achilles and the battle of Troy, while The Odyssey describes Odysseus' long journey home after the war through encounters with monsters, gods, and spirits. Both poems feature many of the same characters and helped establish foundations of Greek mythology and culture.
The Odyssey
The poem expresses the restless spirit of Odysseus, who has seen and experienced much in his travels but has now grown tired of being an idle king. He yearns to continue his journey of discovery and learning until his dying breath, as staying in one place and not continuing to broaden his experiences would be a dull way to live. He leaves his kingdom in the capable hands of his son Telemachus so that he may set sail once more to seek out new adventures and knowledge across the unexplored world.

Elvis's Twin Sister
This poem imagines what it would be like if Elvis Presley's twin sister had lived instead of his stillborn twin brother. The summary is as follows:
The poem is told from the perspective of Elvis's imagined twin sister who is now a nun living in a convent. She tends the gardens and finds grace in the convent similar to how Elvis found it at Graceland. Though she wears the traditional nun's habit, she adds her own flair with a pair of blue suede shoes. She reflects on her past life and fame before entering the convent, making references to Elvis's hits like "Heartbreak Hotel" and experiences with religion and rock and roll.
Caroline quarlls
Caroline was born into slavery in Missouri in 1826. She dreamed of escaping to Canada for freedom. After her mother and sister died, she was owned by her aunt. At 16, Caroline decided to run away, traveling by steamboat and hiding among white passengers. She was nearly captured multiple times by those trying to return her for the $800 reward. With the help of abolitionists on the underground railroad, Caroline hid in many places as she made her way to freedom in Canada, where she eventually married and had a family.
The Great Migration
Many history books don't mention the Great Migration. Between 1920 and 1980, six million African Americans migrated from the south. They were escaping Jim Crow Laws, Lynchings, poor job opportunities, poor education for their children. Some planned for years and saved to leave. Some saw a body hanging from a tree and took off. Many of our famous African American artists managed to accomplish what they did because their parents or grandparents left the south. This needs to be in every American history book in the country. I teach it in my American History course from 1877 to the present.

The Literary Works Of Alice Walkerpdf
Alice M. Walker was born in 1944 in Georgia to sharecropping parents who struggled with racial hardships. She was shot in the eye at age eight, causing isolation that led her to find solace in reading and writing. Walker's literary style was greatly influenced by her experiences growing up seeing the struggles of African Americans during and after slavery. While her style varies across genres, she consistently focuses on African American heritage and hardships. Walker was the first African American woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for fiction for her acclaimed novel The Color Purple.
Tikaki presentation slavery
1) In colonial Virginia, Africans were initially viewed negatively and seen as primitive, but were still used as indentured servants. They were assumed to be captured and sold.
2) Over time, Africans became slaves as laws were passed declaring slave status would be inherited and preventing interracial relationships. Thomas Jefferson owned slaves and profited from their labor and reproduction.
3) Abolition of slavery in the North did not eliminate racism and discrimination against African Americans, who faced barriers to employment, housing, and equal treatment before the law. Racism persisted subtly in practices and social norms.

This document discusses four authors - Anna Julia Haywood Cooper, Charles Waddell Chesnutt, and Joel Chandler Harris - who wrote during the post-Civil War realist period in the United States. Cooper was the fourth African American woman to earn a doctorate and focused on social justice and women's rights. Chesnutt's work, like The Conjure Woman, used the frame tale structure and served as both folk tales and social commentary on post-Civil War black experiences. Harris is most famous for his Uncle Remus stories but received criticism for his use of dialect. These authors addressed issues of race during realism to demonstrate tensions in the South and gain understanding of the period.

Irene committed to the black community and married a black doctor. When they reconnect, Irene becomes paranoid that Clare is having an affair with her husband. Clare's race is revealed at the end, and she suddenly dies after "falling" from a window, leaving it ambiguous if Irene pushed her or if she committed suicide.
The underground railroad
The document provides information about the Underground Railroad and key figures that helped slaves escape to freedom. It discusses how the Underground Railroad was a network of people, mostly black but some white, who helped slaves travel northward at night to the next safe house using natural landmarks to guide their way. Important conductors included Harriet Tubman who made 19 trips rescuing over 300 slaves, and Henry "Box" Brown who famously shipped himself in a box to freedom. Black History Month originated from Negro History Week founded by Carter G. Woodson in 1926 to educate people about black history and contributions.
Sharecropping and prejudice
After the Civil War, newly freed slaves faced discrimination and hardship. Many became sharecroppers, farming land in exchange for a share of the crop, which often resulted in debt. Segregation was legal and blacks faced prejudice. The Ku Klux Klan targeted blacks and others to promote white supremacy, sometimes violently. Though outlawed, racism and the legacy of slavery continued to negatively impact African Americans for generations.
