English 1301/7426 June 27 Formal Precis The chapter “Columbus, the Indians, and Human Progress" by Dr. Howard Zinn discusses the history of early Arawaks, a Native American society in North America, the Bahamas and their encounter with Columbus and the very similar incidents of the violent migrations on the Aztecs of Mexico by Cortes, the Incas of Peru by Pizarro and the Powhatans and the Pequots of North America by the early European settlers. Dr. Zinn uses these explorations as an example to show the fact that how history is manipulated by the historians by omitting the major facts and destructions associated with the victims. In the beginning of the chapter, Dr. Zinn starts by describing the Arawak colonization in North America and Columbus expedition. This article describes Spain of those times when it had recently unified as one of the new modern nations similar to France, England and Portugal. These powerful nations had by then discovered the importance of gold for the economic development of their nations.
Wendy Perez Analysis At the beginning of the opening chapters, Cooper introduces the setting between the brutal and bloody war of the French and Indian War. There are some parts in the novel where Cooper used historical facts to narrate the actual, lived events in this colonial history of the United States. Although there are roots in his narrative to be from his own imaginary war, Cooper wanted to emphasize the tensions between mankind and the land, natives and the colonists, and nature and culture. The characters in the novel are illustrated in various ways that national cultures interact. They even materialize some of the extended stereotypes held during the colonization of America and racial tensions arise throughout the chapters.

Our search to find out who we are is fuelled by a need to find a place in the world where we belong. Through exploration and analysis of the novel Romulus my Father by Raimond Gaita, the picture book Mirror by Jeannie Baker and the animated film Mary and Max my perceptions of belonging have been enhanced and broadened.

Notions of belonging in Romulus My Father, a memoir by Raimond Gaita are conveyed through the texts thoughtful and reflective tone.
