How does Sebold use representations of speech and other literary techniques to portray Ray Singh in the following extract? In the extract Alice Sebold uses representations of speech and other literary techniques to present Ray Singh as a very nice but different outsider. The extract is located just after Len Fenerman finds Susie's notes from Mr. Botte's class. Towards the end of the extract the use of irony in "Suburbia: The American Experience" is used to demonstrate the segregation between Ray and his "American" acquaintances. Also the fact that this book was written post 9/11 places a huge spotlight on Ray Singh, this makes the reader think that Ray Singh is used as a Symbol of all the immigrants and travellers in America.
Chapter 2: Early Societies in Southwest Asia and the Indo-European Migrations Themes This chapter is primarily concerned with the establishment and development of the first complex urban societies in Mesopotamia and the broader influences an interactions that these societies had with other urban as well as non-urban peoples. The major themes (a search for order, the characteristics of complex societies, and the interactions between human societies) are introduced in the essay about Gilgamesh at the beginning of the chapter.

After being awarded a PhD in clinical Psychology from Columbia and having published articles (prior to his PHD) he came to believe that psychoanalysis was the deepest and most effective form of therapy. However after personal analysis and supervision by Richard Hulbeck, Ellis;s belief in psychoanalysis was beginning to wane. By 1953 Ellis was referring to himself as a rational therapist.

Carl Becker The Spirit of ‘76 Some of the best work on the coming of the Revolution was done by Carl Becker, who was a professor of history at Cornell University from 1917 until his death in 1945. Becker insisted that one must look at the pre-revolutionary period through the eyes of different social groups, and that one must realize that there were at least two issues at stake. “The first was the question of home rule; the second was the question of who should rule at home.” An imaginative scholar, Becker once used two fictional characters, Jeremiah Wynkoop and his father-in-law, Nicholas Van Scholckendinck, to explain the break with England. Here is that classic essay. Last October Mr. Lyon asked me to come down to the Brookings School and tell you about the Spirit of ‘76.

But what really makes the Dutch East India Company so unique is its commercial semi-capitalist practices that were implemented in the Early Modern Era and how it influenced the creation of the VOC. In this paper, I will begin by analyzing the Dutch transition from an agrarian feudalist economy to a market/commercial capitalist society. Secondly, I will describe the means by which this economic transition gave birth to the Dutch East India Company and how weak opposition helped the Dutch conquer the Indonesian archipelago.
