Humanities is a class taught by Ms. Small. Here, we explore various topics about humanity and society, while also expressing our ideas through writing and other forms. What we learn in this class is centered around the question that we aim to answer for ourselves: "What does it mean to be human?". So far, we have explored education, rhetoric, and satire, and are currently exploring identity!

Ishan Kasam, Neil Gupta, Michelle Xu, and I explored the themes found in Henry David Thoreau's Walden, blending his experiences in a script featuring the protagonists of Lord of the Flies! Integrating Thoreau's own quotes into our script, we demonstrated how his philosophy applied to the setting of the latter story.
