They had to use their tins and duck behind the sheds in the trenches. Not only was this incredibly unhygienic and caused many diseases among the soldiers, but they were also dodging bullets. The enemy would shot them as they went to the toilet and because they were pre-occupied they could not defend themselves. The toilets were a grim place to be, cans of overflowing sewage, undetectable bullets and often the bodies of men who had died in the act. Another terrible problem was the rats.
‘Wog’ in Australia is a racist term nevertheless stereo typical against Greeks, Lebanese and Maltese; this is a highly cynical myth along with all the others out there. Some more of these bitter stereotyped myths are; all white Americans are obese, lazy and dim-witted; all Mexicans are lazy and came to America illegally; people who live in England have bad teeth; all African Americans outside of the United States are poor; Jews are greedy and all Asians are intelligent and drive slowly. We live in a horrible world full of disgraceful stereotypical myths and because of this we end up judging people the wrong way. Refugees isolate themselves in small groups, this is caused by hopelessness and because they feel indifferent. Society has marginalised them and hence forth they have been rejected so they group themselves with people of the same culture, religion, skin colour, etc.

Fitzgerald portrays Myrtle in such a 'scornful' manner , full of 'disdain'.However , if careful attention is paid , the reader will establish that 'she possessed' many 'turbulent' emotions one may sympathize with. Myrtle's house is displayed as a 'bare and unprosperous, 'dusty' garage.It did not seem like a civilized place to live in.It was a 'yellow block' , 'by the ash-heaps'.This indicates that she is from a poor background.The descriptions given to the house drives a person to feel pity for her mundane lifestyle. In addition, to add to her 'dull' house , her cheap clothes of 'brown muslin' and 'creme colored chiffon' convey her vulgar , unappealing taste in clothes. This gives the impression of a non-coordinated , unorganized, careless lady. Here , sympathy is encouraged because of the fact that she has nobody there to help or lead her and put her on the 'right track' about her appearance.

Walker Brothers Cowboy delves into the brutal truth of how hard life can be, especially during a time when money was scarce and secrets ran deep. With the plot, themes, and characters in Walker Brothers Cowboy, Munro shows insight to how the past, pride and people affect a young girl’s coming of age. At the beginning of Walkers Brothers Cowboy, the reader is introduced to a family living in the small town of Tuppertown, located on Lake Huron in Ontario. The narrator is a young girl who speaks about how after “supper” her father takes her for walks through the town passing by deserted buildings and junkyards that are no longer inhabited. The little girl sees the lake that they used to visit before they moved to Tuppertown from where they lived before in Dungannon.
What makes isolation even more scary is that anyone can go mad being left alone in an unfamiliar environment with only mountains surrounding you, that the “appalling antiquity and lethal desolation of the place [are] enough to overwhelm almost any sensitive person, but added to these elements were the recently unexplained horrors at the camp, and the revelations all too soon effected by the terrible mural sculptures around us” (56). Isolation is a huge
“[M]iserable tenements made of cardboard and tin”, Indian slums are notoriously characterized as neighbourhoods of the poor, fraught with “filth and health hazards” (Dossani 189). Mistry mirrors this bleak picture of slum life by thrusting his characters into a “tin-and-plastic jhopadpatti” and leaving them to struggle for basic amenities such as water and proper sanitation (Mistry 189). In Mistry’s slum, “[w]ake up late, and you go thirsty. Like the sun and moon, water waits for no one” and “foul smelling stream[s]…trickle through mounds, carrying a variety of floating waste in [their] torpid flux[es]” (Mistry 218-219). The author employs the same imagery used in non-fiction work to stress the reality of his characters’ struggle for basic needs and emphasize the extremity of poverty within urban India.

Power Corrupts; Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely “Power is pernicious”, the old woman had said. She further added: “Even when we feel it will leave us scot-free, it lams us sorely and we are left fop-doodles in this harsh world.” Another man had said: “Power often brings a mint of money but with it we are rickety. It’s a meretricious thing, which often fools us.” Well, I have come to the discernible conclusion that power, instead of bringing joy and deliriousness brings woe and demise as it wreaks havoc through one’s soul. Power is basically a hidden form of death. We may go round our history books either lambasting or extolling powerful leaders, but we will always come to the conclusion that power does corrupt a man.
