    Red, White, and Black, Chapter 5, by Gary B. Nash talks about many different wars, rebellions, and colonization's that go on with the coastal societies in the 1600s. I learned that in Metacom’s war “some of the coastal tribes were prepared to risk extinction rather than become a colonized and culturally imperialized people”(Nash 110).

    Literary Anaylisis on the Child by Tiger

    The setting in The Child by Tiger illustrates the moral and mental challenges that Dick goes through. Ashville, North Carolina around 1912 was heavily racist based, but Dick was actually treated a little better until he went on a killing spree. Dick had most people's trust and even played with white kids while he was young. Since this story is set post civil war era and pre Civil Rights Movement there were a lot of restrictions and wrong doings that happened to African Americans. Considering what town it is set in the idea of a lynch mob is not farfetched and law enforcement essentially encouraged them.…

    In The Skin Of A Lion Essay

    Michael Ondaatje’s 1987 postmodern novel ‘In The Skin Of a Lion’ has shaped and given new meanings when viewed in depth from different perspectives. Through Ondaatje’s continuous ideas on identity and history, through his language and form, this novel continues to be studied in various contexts. The use of poetic language and cellular structure has allowed him to create a piece of literature, ‘never again will a single story be told the same as this one’, which is unique and everlasting.…

This notion is especially evident in Aravind Adiga’s novel, The White Tiger, in which Balram Halwaii becomes a successful, high-class businessman. According to the novel, in order to move up in social class and gain freedom, one must take risks, be motivated, and have a sense of immorality.…

    The white tiger

    White tigers are an endangered species and it is said that less than a dozen have been seen in India in about a hundred years. In fact no sightings have been reported since 1951. This may be caused by the fact that the Royal Bengal tiger population has dropped from 40,000 to 1,800 in the past ten years and as few as one in every 10,000 tigers is white (www.cranes.org/whitetiger). White tigers are neither albinos nor a special species. They differ from the normally colored tigers by having blue eyes, a pink nose, and creamy white fur with black stripes. If they were albinos they would have pink eyes and a lighter nose color. A tigers stripes are just like human fingerprints meaning that no two tigers have the same pattern of stripes. White tigers aren't necessarily born from other white tigers. White tigers get their color by a double recessive allele. A Bengal tiger with two normal alleles or one normal and one white allele is colored orange. Only a double dose of the mutant allele results in white tigers (www.cranes.org/whitetiger). In fact it is even normal to find normal colored cubs in a litter of white tigers (www.5tigers.org.com). White tigers are a very rare species, and even endagered, as i have said earlier on that one stripe on a white tiger will NOT be the saem as the next beside it, it is just like our fingure prints, they are all different all together. A pink eyed tiger is more called an albino tiger and also a lighter colour located on their nose.…
