"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." -Calvin Coolidge

My name is Mr. Gill and welcome to the realm of English literature. Together we will be embarking on the adventure of exploring how literature shapes our perceptions, cultures, and biases throughout the year. Together we will conquer challenges in the literature and ourselves in order to grow a greater understanding of both. I am looking forward to taking this journey with you!
