“Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.”     ― Mark Twain, The Innocents Abroad

The Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures (MLLC) welcomes you to browse through its latest exhibit in the Library and at the Thistle entrance to the Learning Commons. The display exemplifies the languages and unique cultures explored by students in our courses. May your curiosity be piqued! Perhaps some of the questions rooted in the history of these cultures will be raised by the materials on display.

Students are invited to view the intriguing assortment of items and win a prize. All responses will be collected for each of the two challenges and a $10 gift card will be awarded to two lucky winners.

Challenge #1:

a) Identify the theme of the current display. The hint is given on red crêpe paper in the four main languages taught in MLLC.
b) Identify the person or the event depicted on the images posted on each vertical surface in both display cases (not the collage).  The images for one group are identical, so there are seven (7) scenes it total.
The submission with the most correct answers will be the winning one.

Challenge #2:

Find an image from the collage or an object from the display and write about it.  It can be a memory, a meditation, or simply a comment.
The responses will be evaluated by a selection committee, based on the creativity and relevance of the content.

Submit your responses by Sunday, October 20 at midnight to: dbielicki@brocku.ca. Questions and comments are also welcome!
