Brandeis University, B.A. History 1989

 

Studied for a summer at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

 

In this first text or chapter, the space where the action is developed is, as the same title indicates, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The concrete action takes place in class, wherein Avi and his friend spent several hours a day.

Also, the narrator, which is the girl, and Avi’s roommate used to go home on the weekends, spending they both the time in his room.

Another space aspect is when she was found in the English book store, robbing books carefully.

The last place is found in the last paragraph, where she states she did retreat to a study carrel in the library on Mount Scopus, which is a mountain in northeast Jerusalem, Israel.

 

Received a Ford Foundation grant for advanced research.

 

Here the main character remembers several experiences about a medicine named Prozac and his conversation with the school psychiatrist. There is no specific inner place but the actions were developed in the city of Salem, Massachusetts.

 

Washed dishes in the cafeteria; promoted to food handler.

 

In this final text from ‘Education’, the protagonist gets into a cafeteria. There, she grabs several sweet aliments.

Then, when she gets out of the cafeteria, she decides to go to her dorm. It is supposed that she is in an undetermined place, possibly on the street, since she states: ‘I ate some cookies on the way back to my dorm’.

Another place is when she comes back her dorm room, where she began to vomit because of the big quantity of food she had eaten before.
