A ritualistic bath scene takes place between Annie and her mother: “My mother and I often took a bath together...It was a special bath, in which the barks and flowers of many different trees, together with all sorts of oils, we boiled in the same cauldron. As we sat in this bath, my mother would bathe different parts of my body; then she would do the same with herself” (Kincaid, 14). Here, the water in the bath makes Annie feel comfortable, content, and nurtured because it is overly prepared by her mother with the Antiguan obeah herbs. This particular scene symbolizes Annie’s attachment to the mother-daughter relationship her mother and she share. The protagonist lives in a world where her mother is the core.

During a graduation dinner from the Hebrew Union College, insensitive lay leaders included four biblically forbidden foods (crabs, shrimp, frog legs and clams) and also mixed meat and dairy.

Following the treyfa banquet, several congregations resigned from the Hebrew Union College, thus causing a formal break between reform and traditional Judaism. When the shochet told Rachel to cook and eat the Ox, the reader saw Rachel’s paradox, and empathized with the difficult decision she needed to make. Albeit Rachel finally ate the unkosher meat, Abraham’s mother’s reaction to Rachel’s actions mirrored that of the Orthodox Rabbi’s at the treyfa banquet.
Japan, which lies east of China and just under Korea, was no exception as it too fell under the gaze of the West. However Japan is regarded as an exceptional case in history, for it ‘opened its doors’ to these nations and learnt and adapted to their Western ways in order to emerge later as a stronger nation and world power. This paper seeks to exam the process through which Japan underwent during this transaction. The arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry in Uraga Bay, July 1853, saw the beginning of this process of rapid and bewildering change that would greatly alter the course of Japan’s history. In less than a century, Japan would transform itself into the first country outside of the West to possess a modern state, a modern industrial economy and involve itself in the politics of the world; Japan would become the first Imperial nation that wasn’t from the west.
