There are many connections between Shadows at Dawn and the course, including the influence of European contact on the indigenous population as well as the deconstruction of stereotypes that have existed in the national history of the United States and Mexico. Jacoby believes that perspective influences how an event is seen, including historical narrative. Political power influences the selection of memories when choosing historical narrative. Jacoby's thesis matters because in order to truly understand an event all sides of the story must be explored and understood. Shadows at Dawn shows how an event is remembered can be influenced by who wrote the history of it.

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.
“An individual’s interaction with others and the world around them can enrich or limit their experience of belonging.” Personal relationships can provide a deep sense of belonging and profoundly influence our values, attitudes and beliefs.

Similarly Shaun Tan’s 2006 graphic novel “The Arrival” delves into the migrant experience and the explores the process of belonging.

Evaluate the ways different artists represent ideas and interests in the world through the development of a visual language. * Andy Goldsworthy * Tracey Moffatt Through the development of a visual language, artists represent and develop ideas and interests to convey to the world. Andy Goldsworthy and Tracey Moffatt are post-modern artists who have very different ideas but portray strong messages to society. Andy Goldsworthy uses the environment to create works and Tracey Moffatt uses the idea of growing up and Aboriginal identity and rights for her ideas to come across. Both Moffatt and Goldsworthy leave the audience with a variety of mixed reactions and criticism to their art works which are good motifs for an artist of these kinds.
English 'Persuasive Writing' By Eva Kiss Literature is meant to provide a perspective on life. The ability to view writing through different perspectives allows a deeper understanding of the text, as well as a wider knowledge about the world around us. William Shakespeare's Henry IV:Part One is one of his many historical plays, arguably intended to divulge to the Tudor England audience a different viewpoint of the Royal family to contemplate the rule of King Henry IV. The text opens up the issues of duty, the question of honour, the 'right' approach towards leadership and the value of life which, considering the Elizabethan period in which it was written, delves into the many concerns of the responders of the time, as well as remaining
