A People’s History of the United States: Reflection Chapter 3 Persons of Mean and Vile Condition To summarize, Zinn again takes his stand against the upper class by retelling history from the points of view of those put down by society. In this chapter, he covers POVs from slaves, indentured servants, and Indians, and talks about the violence and clashes that went on in the southern colonies. He explains the rebellion and the revolt that occurred as a result of social rest, and talks of the relationship between white settlers and native Indians. Zinn’s take on this chapter can most easily be summed up in this quote: “the poor people wanting to go to America became commodities for profit,” (Zinn 43) and it’s clear the message of the chapter is that there was extreme tension in the working class and in those of even lower status. My reaction to this chapter is one that is mildly surprised.

At first I was not so sure what Gutierrez meant with the idea of poverty being death. Then, I found myself agreeing with his argument because death means hunger and sickness. Poverty is an issue, that we can have different perspectives on the way we elaborate this idea. “The exploited and marginalized are today becoming increasingly conscious of living in a foreign land that is hostile to them, a land of death, a land that has no concern for their most legitimate interests and serves only as a tool for their oppressors, a land that is alien to their hopes and is owned by those who seek to terrorize them” (Gutierrez 11). This experience is being carried out by historical roots, from our indigenous roots we carry.

A producer seeks to fulfill the viewers of its generation and society so he would modernize aspects of The Catcher in the Rye to be sure to make a successful film The time period of the book would still be used in the film, as done before in movies such as The Great Gatsby, to create and maintain the theme or plot setting for the movie. Clothes, slang, cars, places, walking street, subway etc The issues or actions in The Catcher in the Rye are still problems in today’s society, such as smoking, under aged drinking, education conflict, and the classic boy-girl complications that may be a question we never know. With the similarities between the 21st century and Holden’s life in the early 50s, a producer has the ability to bring to date issues such as smoking cigarettes by possibly changing the tobacco to a more relatable drug in today’s day in age such as marijuana. The producer’s creation may also consist of more sex appeal in the clothing of women
Clorinda Matto’s Birds without a Nest: a Story of Indian Life and Priestly Oppression in Peru, is an attempt to educate the reader of the treatment in which the indigenous population of the Andes were subjected to near the end of the nineteenth century. In essence, Matto was creating a platform for the support of the native population during a time when they were still under oppressive control of the social hierarchy of Peruvian elites. Matto succeeds in reaching reader’s, as well as character’s, sentiments as to the plight of an indigenous family oppressed by the town’s controlling triumvirate, the governor, the priest, and the judge. Matto’s story begins in the fictional town of Kiliac, where there is a large population of indigenous peoples in which they form the majority of the population. From the beginning, the reader is presented with the injustices that the indigenous
She described the experiences of her captivity occurred during the King Philippe’s War. (Lepore 127) The dichotomies mentioned at the beginning -Cain and Abel; Israel and Palestine; Romulo and Remo; Huascar and Atahualpa- did have a pattern of self destruction. New England and Chesapeake societies were different from their origins. The people that formed those new cities come from different social extraction from their original England. Those different ways to see the world were the framework they used to create solutions for their problems and answers for their questions.
Lock, the lessons taught to these characters through their experiences were caused by social suffering. “Social Suffering results from what political, economic, and institutional power does to people and, reciprocally from how these forms of power themselves influence responses to social problems “( Kleinman, 1) An example of this would be Victor Frankenstein’s situation in which the institutional power of giving the spark of life to another being had led to his disaster. Kleinman also states that “Poverty is the major risk factor for ill death and health….” (Kleinman, 1) Thus, we see that Mathilde’s issue of poverty had led her to learn from the experience that she had faced which indeed led her to her lesson being taught, even if it was after 10 consecutive years. Her obsession of clothes and jewelries to delight the social world has backfired at her, in which she caused her own social suffering. Through Kleinman’s definition of social suffering, the Ancient Mariner had not only suffered through his experience of his lesson being taught, but he had taken his whole crowd along with him to suffer.
1. Read from p.26 “About halfway between…” to p.27 “… I first met tom’s Buchanan’s mistress” How does Fitzgerald vividly describe the scene? The scene took place in a place called “the valley of ashes”; this scene was described as a very poor area in this story. “Where ashes take forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of ash-grey men”. The author specifically wrote this quote in order to emphasize the grey and dullness of the place with a little bit of exaggeration and so that the reader would have a better understanding of the place.
It is really absurd how our mind jumps into clear and irrational assumptions, but we do it anyway. We judge ones IQ by the color of their hair, their occupations by ones physical appearance, and even their criminal history without even having one by the color of their skin. Stereotyping has been throughout centuries, it has been brought forth since the time of war when neighboring countries would meet and come into conflict. Today it seems it has been raised in a more subtle and convert
