Introduction Blog

 Hello,


My name is Juliana Stapleton, but everyone just calls me Julie. I'm an English Literature and Culture major. Hoping to be an author, specifically a novelist. I have a black cat named Ollie.


and then this is me


I tend to find a lot of connection in reading genres like fantasy, horror, philosophical, etc. Hoping to learn a lot in this class. :)

A website I love would be The Useless Web, it's exactly what it sounds like. Sometimes it's fun, other times it's boring, most of the time it's weird.


 A book I love would probably have to be The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. The movie and the book are remarkable pieces of literature/film. I find the main character very well described in her emotions and thoughts about racism and systematic inequality.

  2. The Hate U Give was my favorite in high school! Used to make me cry my eyes out.
