Gloria Professor Cuddy HIST 101 13 December 2013 American Dilemmas In Chapter 14 of A Different Mirror by Ronald Takaki, the author describes various stories of many clashing ethnicities and the aspects of World War II in the United States. After the surprise attack of the Japanese planes, the bombing on Pearl Harbor was devastating and wounded America. Racial tension increased but it also brought all nationalities close together in a way they would’ve not imagined. Mexican, African, Japanese, Chinese, and Native Americans forged national identities, fought racial prejudice and contributed to the political and economic climate of the 20th century. National identities often strengthen when the country is threatened militarily,
The Divine Wind illustrates how the pressure created by war can affect a society in different ways. As the threat of war with Japan heightens tensions in Broome, it aggravates the divisions in society, thus creating confusion amongst friends. The multi-cultural mix of Broome provides settings for the scrutiny of the issue of racism and the working out of the plot. The tension of war creates confusion about the relationships with whites and foreigners. Hart, the protagonist or the first-person narrator, becomes confused about his relationship with his friend Mitsy as she is Japanese.
tried to remain neutral, their efforts were conceded for the war did not only affect the countries involved in the bloody battles. At the time, Germany was heavy in its usage of submarine warfare, which targeted all merchant ships even from neutral countries. The sinking of the Lusitania, a British passenger liner, on May 7th, 1915 enraged Americans as 128 U.S. citizens were killed. American trade rights were also violated when Germany decided to reverse the Sussex pledge. Primarily trading with Britain and France, commercial shipping became difficult if not almost impossible, but likewise setting off a more anti-German feeling whilst improving relations with the Allies.
This was always the perception of Britain bar Disraeli as it had so many other countries wanting its ownership. He of course went ahead and moved ships into the Black sea after that, however it could be seen as a reaction to Gladstone's words. In Source D Gladstone states again that “we have lost the sympathy and respect of the nations of Europe.” This shows that his irresponsibility was not only causing an effect within the British Isles but also on the wider spectrum, Europe. Again this quote was by Gladstone and of course he's going to be against his opponent of how ever many years, and because of this it comes across that this source is less reliable than others. Gladstone however receives backing from a fellow politician, Lord Derby in 1871.
Newspapers such as John Pulitzer’s World and William R. Hearst’s New York Journal profited by publishing exaggerated reports of General Weyler’s horrifying treatment of Cubans. The low-cost of publications such as these made them available to a wide audience. Public outcry prompted the Spanish government to remove Weyler from his post in 1897, but by then tensions had already developed between Spain and the US. In February of 1898, the New York Journal printed an intercepted letter from Spanish minister, Dupoy de Lôme, to the US, which harshly criticized the president and outraged Americans. A week later, a U.S. battleship called the Maine which had been sent to protect American citizens in Cuba exploded in the Havana harbor.
Uncas is the symbol of a people who have died out. He has the nature of an Indian, but is exceedingly more gentle than the stereotype that Europeans hold in their mine. A noble, proud, self-possessed young man, Uncas falls in love with Cora Munro and suffers tragic consequences for desiring a forbidden interracial coupling. Noble Uncas thwarts the evil Magua’s desire to marry Cora. Uncas also functions as Hawkeye’s adopted brother and learns about leadership from Hawkeye.
(Of course all follows from his discovery that the polluters, who he thought were small, shabby local firms, are actually owned by rich corporations.) The movie, written and directed by Steven Zaillian, doesn't simplify the issues and make Schlichtmann into a romantic hero. He's more the kind of guy you refer to affectionately as "that poor sap." We hear what he hears: the emotion in the voice of one of the mothers (Kathleen Quinlan) who asks him to take the case because "all we want is somebody to apologize to us." And the heartrending story of how one of the boys died, told by his father (David Thornton) in details so sad that Schlichtmann is very deeply moved--which is, perhaps, not the best thing for his
The Prime Minister is very passive. Although he is sad about losing some British citizens in the crashes, he is dealing more with the living relatives rather than thinking of the future. He does appeal to pathos by mentioning the time when a middle-aged mother asked why it was her son who was killed in the crash. Although they both appeal to pathos through their speeches, Bush appeals more because of his powerful diction with usage of many “we” and “us” phrases whereas Blair uses “I” phrases. Bush allows us glimpses into his true feelings about 9/11.
