This article focusses on the past lives of two prominent males in Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff and Hareton. It particularly highlights the challenges that they have encountered in the past, especially those that involve how they have been treated by those in whose care they had been intrusted, namely parents and guardians. It follows how these behaviours have shaped and influenced the habits of the characters and the extent to which these behaviours have been internalised and embraced. In the instance of Hareton, the article underscores the fact that negative circumstances do not have to necessarily engender negative attitudes. They can be used to create uplifting and creative possibilities.
More nationals of Trinidad and Tobago are accessing tertiary education annually. In most instances, they are required to complete a foundations course in English Language. However, many students enter colleges and universities with severe writing deficiencies, often stemming from a deeply ingrained lack of confidence and competence in English as a Foreign Language. To address these deficiencies, The University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT) established the Writing Centre at the Valsayn Campus, where students can meet with a tutor to help them improve their writing. This paper traces the development of the Writing Centre at Valsayn and addresses the question of whether or not a writing centre can improve students' writing ability. While formal research must still be engaged in, the paper highlights that the writing centre is a valuable support to the teaching and learning done in language and writing courses.
