In 1607, a boat from England arrived in the New World. This boat was full of men who hoped they could make a profit of the Americas. The English comforted their consciences on the belief that everything they did in the colonies was for the benefit of the natives. They believed that as Englishmen they had a right to claim the New World as theirs. The English believed that the Native Americans were not making the land yield enough fruit and this perceived shortcoming caused the natives to forfeit their right to the land.
Adeola Ayeni Literary Analysis Honors English/Language Arts What would you do if on Day the sky turned a dark hue of Red, and you were the first one to notice? Would you run to your mother, babbling about the world ending, or to the scientist and explain that 2012 came a little to early. In the book, “The Wagon” by Khalida Asghar, a man encounters just that. He encounters three people who make him embark on an adventure to self awareness that makes him become aware of his surroundings by with the help of three religous men, or more accurately, fanatics, who are very serious about whether the sun goes down or not. The main character, Zakiya, encounters three men on his way home, over a bridge.
For example, March 21-April 19’s month name translates to Month of New Growth and the next month translates to Month of Flowers. (Doc 4) This new nomenclature only seemed logical to coincide with the seasons. This calendar on paper seemed like it could be a great success. The National Assembly believed that this uniformity would abolish class systems, reform the economy, and transform the world. (Doc 5) Unfortunately, the National Assembly was sadly misinformed.
If they do not succeed, England could be seen as an “implacable enemy”, which will lead to complete loss of the colonies and a degradation of the splendor that is Great Britain. Lord North, however, finishes the debate by stating that the current policy will show that England means business, and will aim to punish, but will readily forgive so as to maintain a relationship with the colonies. The first battle described in 1776 is Washington’s siege of Boston and the resulting retreat of the British army. Here, the British find themselves in an indefensible area because of a bottleneck created by Dorchester Peninsula, where the American military is stationed. As soon as the British evacuate, Washington moves to the defense of New York.
In Stay Put: Making a Home in a Restless World, an essay that serves to respond to an essay by Salman Rushdie, Scott Russell Sanders used parallelism and metaphors to emphasize his beliefs that migration causes “disastrous consequences for the earth and for ourselves.” Sanders believes that “by settling in, we have a chance of making a durable home for ourselves, our fellow creatures, and our descendants.” The use of parallelism throughout Sanders’ essay was to emphasize his counter argument made by Rushdie. Rushdie articulates “that uprootings brings tolerance, while rootedness breeds intolerance; that imaginary homelands are preferable to geographical ones; that to be modern, enlightened, fully of our time is to be displaced,” showing that migration is good,in Rushdie’s perspective. Although we don’t know Sanders’ background, it is easy to speculate Rushdie’s perspective since he is a writer who migrated from India to England. If Rushdie believed that he disliked migration and had the same beliefs as Sanders, he would be contradicting his own actions. Sanders believes Rushdie’s beliefs are an “orthodoxy that... [Sanders]... wish[es] to encounter,” stating his belief that migration only harms the environment, not only to the creatures around us, but to ourselves as well.
Kofi Brinkley English 201 Prof. Jamila Lyn 26 October 2007 Baldwinian Price of American Transformation In the last portion of James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time (1963), the author outlines the price of the cultural transformation of America. Baldwin validates his call for transformation saying that if we, meaning Americans as a whole, persist in considering ourselves as an exclusively white country we will condemn ourselves to cultural sterility and decay. Knowing the point of reference, to which the pronoun we refers to is important to understanding the transformation passage. The ‘we’ is actually referring to Americans both black and white. Baldwin goes on to say “if we could accept ourselves as we are, we might bring new life to the Western achievements and transform them.” Baldwin, a man ahead of his time, calls on American cultural renaissance because he sees the potential for a violent civil movement in America and believes it can be avoided if the country would see itself for what it really is and not what it pretends to be.
This is asserted almost immediately after he mentions green cards, which signify permanent residence in a country. However, this is a ludicrous comparison because they are like comparing apples to oranges. While they are similar in their nature, being that they both relate to immigration (as apples and oranges are both fruit), beyond that they have nothing more in common whatsoever. The H-1B visa is non-immigration visa and is strictly used to bring cheaper labor into the country, giving jobs to citizens of foreign countries for a set amount of time. After the job ends, the person quits, or their visa expires they must immediately find new employment in the field in which they are qualified or return to their home country.
So he decided to cross the Atlantic in order to tackle the market in his native country, England. The climate not being very clement with riding tracks during winter, the English were looking for an alternative to the sand to fight against bad weather, rain particularly. In 2001, Lingfield Race was the first one to use the Polytrack cover. The feedbacks, from runners, as well as from horse owners, were very positive. The drainage system works marvellously, evacuating the rainwater and so preventing the appearance of mud.
In the article, "Post-colonial Literatures and Counter-discourse," Helen Tiffin raises a number of issues in regards to the hybridization of the colonized and how European universals invariably clash with that of the native. From the very beginning of the article, Tiffin notes that there is a "call to arms" (so to speak) that encompasses the "demand for an entirely new or wholly recovered 'reality,' free from all colonial taint" (95). This hope is idealistic, especially when evaluating the role that the English language plays in the lives of those who are colonized. Tiffin realizes this fact and views most post-colonial literature as a "counter-discursive" mode of expression that is highly involved in "challenging the notion of literary universality" (96). The most interesting challenge raised by this European universality is the fact that many post-colonial authors use English as the means to express or disassemble notions of these supposed commonly held mores, thereby creating a hybridized literature.
