Another activity for the children could be involved in a session tasting the many different foods of the cultural groups making them aware of the diversity. I would arrange little pieces of food including, ‘mithai’, an Indian sweet made from thickened milk, freshly grated coconut (or carrots or white pumpkin), cardamom, nutmeg, nuts and raisins and are shaped into colourful squares and rounds. Savoury and sweet snacks like crisp poories (deep-fried poppadom-like breads) and crescent moon-shaped pasties, known as 'ghugara', stuffed with fresh coconut, raisins, nuts and spices. I would also let the children taste a simple curry. With the tasting session I would have to take into account children’s allergies and dislikes, no
She was ten and nothing existed for her but her song, the stick clutched in her dark brown hand, and the tat-de-ta-ta-ta of accompaniment," (Walker 22) provides example of one of the many times that Walker speaks of Myop's oblivion. Another symbol of innocence is the flowers that Myop so happily picks. Flowers tend to be a universal symbol for joy and life and Myop gravitates toward these life signs as a way of ignoring the cold fact that life is not always joyous. She is
Dandelions are also known to be happy flowers so this sets the mood in a more soothing and calming place. The poet also uses imagery to lighten the mood up. “And a jumble of skirts spilled onto the ploughed grass,” could be portrayed in a mental image of the clothes scattering around from the laundry truck. It makes the mood less tense because instead of rather describing the horrible images of the accident, the poet decides to describe the little details of it. There was also an internal rhyme in that line which was “skirts and shirts”.
I enjoyed the way that Mr. Soto described the weather and the lovely girl that he first held hands with and the way the candy was tiered in the store. Also, the rhythm flowed nicely throughout the whole poem. Poetry that rhymes and flows easily holds my attention more than poetry that doesn’t rhyme. As stated before, Gary Soto writes mostly about Mexican-American culture and the farming industry in central California but what I enjoyed about “Oranges” is the description of the first love of this young man and how he impressed the girl he was with when he used an orange to help buy the chocolate that she picked out. It reminded me of myself in my youth when my first love gave me a hand drawn picture of on oriole that he drew for me for Valentine’s Day.

The first stanza depicts a “melancholy” setting where “frail” violets excite the persona’s recollection of a poignant childhood experience. In correspondence with Elizabeth Lawson’s psychoanalytical assertion, ‘Harwood interweaves past and present’, the reoccurring flower motif of ‘spring violets’ arises in both memory and reality, epitomising the persona’s acceptance of the present’s ‘dusk and cold’ contrasted with the childhood memories of a ‘hot afternoon’. The persona’s period of transition is symbolised by the rich imagery of the sunset being “striped like ice-cream”. The use of simile is effective at both describing the dusk as well as alluding to images of childhood (i.e. ice-cream), reflecting the beginning of the persona’s introspective retreat into her thoughts.
For instance, the swans made of bread that Marjane's uncle gives her stands for several important aspects that are natural in human nature: memories, love, and hope. Satrapi again illustrates valued human characteristics that when all else is gone, a person will hang on to hope. Thus, making another tie with readers and making her story more believable. A second example, are the small keys that promise paradise in the afterlife. Once more, hope is stressed to express the humanity of Iran as the people search and hang on to even a sliver of light in their dark times.
The character is described to have a “heart filled with glee” (Cullen, 2) at the thought of discovering a new place. The poem has an ABCB rhyme scheme adding a melody to the piece. The melody is then thought of as sweet and even has a childish tune to it, setting the stage of the passage to a happy and even hopeful tone. Maybe the author intended to project a feeling of happiness and curiosity onto the audience since the character of this poem is a child. By adding this quote, it allows the author to describe the child.
Hence enabling them opportunities to conform to others around them and opening up themselves and expressing their own views. The poem “10 Mary Street” from “Immigrant Chronicles” by Peter Skrynecki clearly demonstrates this through the use of imagery and accumulation in the second last stanza, “Kielbasas, salt herrings, rye bread and raw vodka”. Through this Skrzynecki encapsulates contentment a fecundate atmosphere and memorable experiences shared by Peter and his family, sharing and enjoying the wonders that their cultural traditions bring. At the same time it also illustrates Peter’s acceptance to his cultural identity. This is further reinforced through the poet’s description of the family as being “naturalised”, through the fact that they’ve allowed themselves to be opened up to the greater world beyond 10 Mary
