This is so interesting—congratulations, Lika!
This is so interesting, Suan! Congratulations on a wonderful project and poster. :)
I love this beautifully designed poster and your lovely artwork!
Thank you so much, Eleanor! And congratulations on your wonderful poster and project! :)
And I've reached your reflection! I forgot how ahead of the game Columbia were, sorry about that 😂
This is so cool Mrinalini. Honestly. As an English student, it is so hard to look over metaphor and look at literal meanings at face value, but that is exactly what we have to do. Because literal meanings transfer to literal life- there is often very little realism in the metaphor.
Congratulations on finishing your first summer! I'm excited to see what the rest of the scholarship holds for you.
Cath, I'm only just discovering your comment!! Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time out to look at the project—and it's also so interesting to hear about your perspective on this as an English student. All the best for your own research! I'm definitely looking forward to continuing this all and seeing what everyone does next summer. :)
