Westerheim
Westerheim, a German scholar from Bavaria who embraces traditional German values, was responsible for teaching me how to read in 1950.
He taught me not only how to read but also how to think critically about what I read.
His approach emphasized active engagement with literature, encouraging students like me to ask questions and make connections between texts and our own lives.
I never knew that he had another identity as McGuffey until much later in life when I stumbled upon an old bookshelf filled with those iconic black-and-white books.
It wasn’t until then that I realized how influential his work has been on my educational journey.
The impact of his work goes beyond just teaching me how to read; it shaped my understanding of literature as a reflection of society’s values, beliefs, and experiences.
He is indecisive, cunning, and protective.
Westerheim enjoys chess and philosophy but dislikes loud environments.
One of his important life experiences includes participating in a colloquium on modern literature at Heidelberg University.
