"I want my students to love the ideas represented on the printed page . . . to go deeper within and think.  My desire for my students is that they appreciate the powerful nature of literature through the author’s carefully chosen words and how literature often mirrors social, political, and spiritual movements in society."  -- Beverly McNeese
