Remnant Trust Blog Fall 2011

Instructor Eleanor Moss' Reading Strategies for College class is proud to present a blog for the Ivy Tech Library highlighting some of the books in the Remnant Trust Collection. The Remnant Trust Collection is a hands-on exhibition of original and historical documents written on the topics of religion, liberty, politics, government, and dignity. This rare collection of documents is on loan to Ivy Tech and will be displayed in the Ivy Tech Library throughout the fall semester. The Remnant Trust is a public educational foundation.

We will be discussing the literary and cultural importance of four works, Homer's Illiad, Plato's Republic, Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Please join our conversation! Please note that this board is moderated. Comments will not appear immediately. Although anonymous posts are permitted, names would be appreciated. Thank you!

my name is Sheila Gray I am a student in Mrs.Elizabeth Starr English 245 literature of the old testament class. I would like to take this time to thank Instructor Eleanor Moss and the class of 083 for the opportunity to allow us and other to share and to be able to ask question as well as making comments to the four different historical documents. my experience of this rare collection of Ramnant Trust Documents makes me feel like apart of history now! my original King James 1611 leaf is in this collection and in my reseach i have learned so much about this bible and i was happy to learn this is the 400th year anniversary of the king james bible. i feel special because mrs. Starr's class posters were presented at the convention center downtown with the show case of chefs. that was a very great experience to see something that i had done on display at such an important event. it don't stop there four students from our class and another student was blessed to give our presentation at the first presbyterian church for their sunday school class it was awesome.
