People with alternate cultures, other than the most popular for a given region are always viewed differently. Mustafa writes that she is seen as a Muslim radical or a fundamentalist, she is seen as an immigrant although she is a Canadian born and raised citizen. She writes, “Strangers speak to me in a loud, slow English and often appear to be playing charades.”, her fellow countrymen and women see her as an immigrant because of her alternate culture. Watt-Cloutier is an activist for her Inuit people, and is fighting hard for them. Depending on what side of the argument you sit on,
Compare and Contrast: Edgar Allen Poe verses Stephen King We can compare and contrast most anything in the world or out of it even. We can compare and contrast ideas, music, objects, space, theories, places and people. With this comparing and contrasting two authors who do the same style and concepts of writing but in different era’s makes for great debate and studies. In this sense, one can compare authors, such as their lives, their styles of writing, and their pieces of literature. There are many similarities and differences between Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King.
On the other hands, Source P and R indicate that the Raj were both embracing and “condoning” Dyer’s action. Source P is written on behalf of the ladies of the Punjab. The European women show their gratitude towards Dyer for he had “saved” the pride of many women and children. Furthermore, they believed they “owed” him for the actions he had displayed in the Amritsar Massacre in order to save them. The European women’s view of the massacre in Punjab outlines a whole new perception, as the European women were directly impacted by the earlier riots, and knew of the harrowing events that could have occurred if it were not to be silenced.
In each of the stories the characters are tested with difficulties such as racism, prejudice, death, or love affairs. These novels show how deeply treasured the American/Canadian dream really is and how much of a struggle it can be to pursue it. Cather’s style of writing is based on her personal experiences with the world. In My Antonia she portrayed
I believe that the fact she was a female writer inspired her to stand up for the Native Americans. She obviously must have felt in some ways similar discrimination from the white males as the Indians experience (white males superior over females and Indians). 2. According to this sketch, what was the most severe danger they faced? There were many threats posed to the Indians by the white settlers.
Through the use of conventions such as characterisation we find that the theme of prejudice is explored in to kill a mockingbird. Innocence is represented through symbols and literal meanings. the use of innocence in the novel highlights the theme of prejudice and influences the response from the reader. As the story evolves we find that maycomb is not all that it seems to the protagonist scout and her brother jem, as they grow older they experience the harsh reality of prejudice and eventually see the unjust end it takes on Tom Robisnson we find that prejudice is an integral part to the structure of "to kill a mockingbird" The idea of innocence is conveyed through the characterisation of Boo Radley, Boo Radleys innocence in the eyes of maycomb influences main ideas and meanings. Innocence is shown through the characterisation of Boo as a harmless man, he lives with his brother and leaves the house rarely he has little protection from the outside world, this can be related to a section of the book where Atticus says to scout and jem "Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."
In class we had focused on the great depression and how Canada was affected in many different ways. We had also discussed the impacts of immigration and how settlers affected the labor force. Buddle does a great job of describing a very significant part of Canadian history regarding women. Understanding the place of female
The slave era can be agreed it was a terrible atrocity upon our fellow man, and it cannot be brought into a light of just, but it did give birth to some true characters who we can look up to and live alike. The characters in both Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, and the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass are ideal examples of true characters as they pushed through slavery and gained freedom but did not stop there. Jacobs’ spent her freedom getting her families’ freedom and Douglass went on to help others escape and spread knowledge on the cruelty of slavery. The last thing, and most powerful thing this book left me with is that each slave was an individual unalike any other, and these individuals were in fact an individual, individuals who lived their life for the betterment of others and accomplished an impossible
Brittany Brown Instructor Boyle ENG 113-WA 07 March 2013 Round, Dynamic Characters in Fiction People have many aspects that make up their personality. This is also true for the main character Jing-Mei in Amy Tan’s story entitled “Two Kinds”. Tan uses many different characterization techniques to develop Jing-Mei fully, creating a round and dynamic character. Characterization is the author’s expression of a character’s personality through the use of action, dialogue, thoughts, or commentary by the narrator or another character (Conrey & Stolley). The basic trait of a round character is that we are told enough about them to permit the conclusion that they are three-dimensional, rounded, authentic, memorable, original, and true to life (O’Brien).
Not to recognize this difference in experiences is to deny the differences in the sexism which black and white women experience, and the racism which men and women encounter. It also ignores the positive aspects of racial, gender and class identities (Spelman, 1982). Another reason for focusing otn girls is to unmask the underlying power differentials in gender relations. The experiences of girls of South Asian origin in Canada are different from those of other cultures and countries. This is because South Asian Canadians, particularly the women, have been seen to be at great variance not only in racial terms (i.e., biological characteristics) but also in ethnic terms (i.e., culturally
