Langston seems to be more accepting of the fact that he is different and accepts that. Trethewey lies about who she is and keeps silent to the fact that she is black. In the poems another similarity is the mentality that African Americans had about whites during that time. They thought so
Colors with The Great Gatsby Characters Jay Gatsby (Blue) I think the color Blue represents Gatsby. It’s a dark color, its mysterious and in someway it represents hope and sorrow. Gatsby is mysterious in some of his affairs, like the color, it does not reveal everything the color has to offer. Hope, hope is a theme often related to this color, and Gatsby is a hopeful person, he hopes his love with Daisy will flourish, he hopes he will have her back. Then, sorrow, sorrow and sadness surrounds Gatsby, he is not truly happy until he gets Daisy, and then loses her.
The short story: ‘A Warm Golden Brown’ written by Alexander Reid explores the important theme of racial prejudice. Two young and innocent children playing contentedly together, but the overhang of racism still shines though. Mrs Preedy, Ben’s mother is a very racist woman and forbids Ben from playing with Daisy. Mrs Preedy is conveyed to be a racist tyrant, but also hypocritical as she covers her skin in fake tan to darken her skin tone. Reid’s effective title has positive connotations, the words ‘‘warm’’ and ‘’golden’’ suggest that Reid likes the colour of Daisy’s skin tone and shows empathy towards the coloured community.
In Swallow The Air, May’s dysfunctional relationship with her family is emphasised, highlighting how this affects her sense of belonging. Winch uses imagery to highlight the positivity between May and her father “I would be the mango that breaks off the stem into my dad’s fingers…” The informal, affectionate language they use with one another shows their belonging to one another. Similarly, Mays and her mom’s relationship enhances her sense of belonging, illustrated through the metaphor of the dead stingray, “[it] “swallowed its struggle” alluding to it as “an Angel fallen, lying on its back”. Equally, a lack of affiliation is also experienced “aunty drowned out, and she faded from her safety”. Winch highlights both the positive and negative effects of relationships which affect May sense of belonging symbolised through “Paradise Parade”.
The author best describes this by the statement “It made people sad. It reminded them of things they wanted to forget, such as poverty, drought and starvation. You never knew when the rice was going to run out.” (Pigott, 1990, pp. 167-168) Within a short time, the author’s definition of beauty which had been in tune with the European one had slowly started to change in favor of the African one. This was because of the fact that the African definition seemed more realistic and didn’t make a female feel ashamed of her body if she was on the heavier side.
Unlike the persona in “Feliks Skrzynecki”, Do’s cultural anxiety is short‐lived as the situation alters and he begins to understand the triviality of cultural differences. This is complimented with the altered tone, as he is presented with the image of ‘Suzie, fully decked out in a blue traditional Vietnamese dress,she looks absolutely beautiful.’ This tone of appreciation is fostered by her symbolic act, as she embraces his culture in order to unify both families. As the event unfolds, barriers continue to break, as Do’s mother’s broken English is insignificant when she emotively states, ‘My son lup yaw dotter very mush’ Do’s situation transforms as connections are built, fostering belonging. The final paragraph encapsulates the message of acceptance and a new found state of belonging. This is imparted through listing, as five Aussies, three Asians, a Greek, an Italian, an Indian and a one quarter Aboriginal’ are sharing a meal of ‘lemongrass prawns wrapped in rice paper rolls followed by lamington at my Aussie engagement party’.
This effectively portrays Judy’s vulnerability and pitifulness as she is a constant reminder of only Madeline through Scottie’s eyes; this is also supported through her sad facial expression and her looking downwards and then back at him. Through this scene, it consents the audience to explore how Scottie’s deep memory of Madeline authorises and startles Judy as Judy is only seen as physical representation and replacement of Madeline for Scottie. In addition, when Scottie takes Judy clothes shopping, he is trying to find the ‘perfect grey suit’ for Judy; ‘No it’s not it. Nothing like it.’ Judy on the other hand, is clearly represented as fragile and inferior through the effective technique of the close low angle shot which displays her uncomfortable and abandoned emotions through her facial expression when Scottie rejects her preference and doesn’t listen to her: ‘But…eh I like that one Scottie.’ ‘No no it’s not right.’ Then followed by the employer, ‘the gentleman seems to know what he wants.’ The audience then witnesses Judy constantly looking towards the ground and not able to make eye contact to Scottie. This scene strongly
