First, Brazil is more fluid than both countries when it comes to racial identity. Second, Brazil is not primarily mixed with Spanish decent, but Portuguese. These differences cause the racial identity make-up of the country to be extremely different from many places. Brazil does not look at race as a “choose one” system. Race is not the same in Brazil as we know it here in the United States.

Race distinguishes groups of individuals based on noticeable physical differences. For example, here in the United States we categorize groups of individuals based on Black, Native American, Arab American, Japanese American, Chinese American and other Asian people (n.a., 2012). Ethnicity distinguishes groups of individuals based on origin and cultural. Cultural traits and/or forbidden from becoming part of society are what make this group distinctive. The race group is not determined in the ethnic group due to the fact that it includes Irish Americans, Polish American and Norwegians Americans (n.a., 2012).
We can see the journey that Paul is on and relate it to our own which is a significant feature of the novel. In conclusion, a novel can be considered a journey which is emphasized in Goldsworthy’s rites of passage novel “Maestro”. Through Paul, we can see the journey of ignorance to realisations, adolescence to adulthood and dreams to reality, and even apply these journeys to ourselves which makes them a significant and important feature in this novel.

As stated earlier, the meaning of the word “race” is merely the categorization of different populations, on earth, among humans. If the “Negro” was really one of the lowest races, that would be considered a different specie, he or she wouldn’t be able to reproduce any offspring with someone of white race or a different race. Even though, Dr. Hunt somewhat agrees “that the offspring of all the mixtures of the so-called races of man are
(128) In America there exist a parody between skin color and ethnicity: race and ethnicity are often confused and creates questions of identity of the people subjected there under. In the essay” Black and Latino” Roberto Santiago is identified as a Puerto Rican (Latino) with a black skin color. This creates confusion that is foreign to Roberto who, being of Puerto Rican descent rarely considers skin color in his culture. Puerto Ricans are known to have varying skin color ranging from black to white as a result of the mixing of African, Whites and Spaniards. Puerto Ricans, identifying as Hispanic, do not recognize a
Through any and every writing, an author has a point hidden within literary elements. With literary elements authors develop a style to their writing to prove the point they intended from the beginning. There are many various literary elements to make up a rhetorical situation, to develop a side of ideas, some very commonly used in especially rhetorical situations. Like allusion, hyperbole, rhetorical questions, hypophora, and commonly simile. Mohandas K. Gandhi and Henry David Thoreau speak of and develop similar government opinions and points, through their interpretations of Civil Disobedience through literary elements; they prove similar points of civil disobedience but with their own style of writing and use of rhetorical devices.
While sometimes countries are divided by race, its not the actual difference in race that caused the division. The division is in actuality caused by inequalities among the races, or the clashing of cultures. “The nation was being spilt with the issue of race because they did not feel equal therefore they were separate. The same way as if you conquered a country and then tried to be one nation with completely different cultures.” A passage from Negro Declaration of Independence. Until the two races and cultures can coexist equally without social problems they cannot be part of the same
There was commonly puzzlement and arguments over who was a “full Jew.” Hitler had two ways of settling this. First there were charts made which showed who was a Jew, who was a Mischlinge (Germans who were mixed), and who was an Aryan. The chart had white, grey, and black figures. The white figures stood for the Aryans, the grey for the Mischlinges, and the black figures for the Jews. A complete Jew also had to be someone with three Jewish grandparents.
Still to this day discrimination is present throughout the U.S. many Arabs dress differently than do other Americans; their cuisine is drastically different and their traditions are different. All of this can lead to Americans being afraid of the unknown or unfamiliar. After 9/11 discrimination against Arab has been decreasing but the number violent crimes against them remains higher than even before 9/11. I look at Arab Americans differently now than before because not
