Hi.

Welcome to mrisakson.com. You'll find all sorts of wonderful stuff here, and I hope that it is of use to you as you explore the wonderful world of literature. From summaries and analysis to useful links and resources, just about everything that happens in my classroom finds its way here. Need proof? Check out Hannah and Brad acting out Act III.i from The Taming Of The Shrew (right).

Note: My toucan is still missing. There is a reward for its return.

Join us as we look at Shakespeare's classic The Taming of the Shrew. It will be as much fun as a barrel of monkeys.

If I had to pick a favorite American author my first pick would be Flannery O'Connor. Second, and a very close second, is Northwest native Raymond Carver.
