    Danticat's The Dew Breaker employs an interior analysis of emotions to depict a shared history under different circumstances. In “Night Talkers” for example, Dany returns home to Haiti from America to see his blind aunt, Estina Estème. Dany's reason of coming back to Haiti is to inform his aunt that he found the man who killed his parents as a young boy and caused his aunts blindness. He does not get a chance to explain to her what he does until later on in the chapter. While he is settling in, Estina informs him about some boys who were deported back to Haiti and have lost the native language, Creole. She introduces him to an American-Haitian boy named Claude…

    Of the two assigned chapters in the Betrothed, I found chapter 34 to be the most interesting. Alessandro Manzoni, the author of the historical novel, begins chapter 34 with the character Renzo trying to find his way into the heavily guarded, plague-filled city of Milan in order to find the love of his life, his fiancée Lucia. Renzo finally finds his way into the city by paying the guard a half-ducat. However, one obstacle that Renzo often encountered in his journey to find Lucia was that he did not know the exact address of where Lucia was staying at and almost nobody in the city seemed to be willing to help him find the location( that is, until a priest finally agreed to show him the way). This, perhaps, can be attributed…

    A perception of belonging is a process that develops over time, and can be established when we feel a sense of affiliation towards an environment; whether it is social, or physical. This notion is extensively explored in Peter Skrzynecki’s poem ‘Feliks Skrzynecki’ from the anthology ‘Immigrant Chronicle’ and in Tim Winton’s – ‘Neighbours.’ Both texts explore the ways individuals achieve a sense of belonging, through finding comfort in a social and/or physical environment.…

    Delia Passage Analysis

    • 454 Words
    • 2 Pages

    This passage is a huge turning point both in this story and in Delia’s life. The audience is introduced to the characters and it becomes instantly obvious that Sykes doesn’t treat Delia right. She raises the iron skillet from the stove and holds it in the space between her and Sykes. He is knocked into a state of revelation along with the audience as “It cowed him and he did not strike her as he usually did.” Delia had enough of the matrimonial torture and has been pushed past the point of being able to deal with Sykes anymore. She reveals the presence of another woman in his life and disclaims that he will not bring her into the house that she has slaved over and earned. Once Sykes storms out, fleeing from the confrontation, Delia lays awake at night, weighed down from the realization of the terrible events that have transpired…

    Have you ever been wrongly accused of something? Perhaps a dear friend blames you for taking a hairbrush that they merely misplaced, or a family member yells at you for letting the house pet out, even though you were in another room completely. Usually we get upset with this person, and should the charge have large enough consequences, we begin to harbor a desire for revenge. This is what became of the lead character in the film The Count of Monte Cristo. The Count of Monte Cristo, released in 2002, was a film adaptation of a novel by the same name, written by author Alexandre Dumas. Within the span of the two hour long film, the audience views the tragic betrayal and false imprisonment of a young French sailor, by the name of Edmond Dantes,…

    For it was already well known that the Ryanites of the Philadelphia Archdiocese were fully aware of the Silent Orphan phenomenon. It was a subject of deep fascination, where numerous attempts have been made in either proving or disproving his existence. So far, there was never enough evidence to support the viewpoints of one side, and subsequently debunking the views of the other. For some, there was evidence to give credibility in the truth behind the Silent Orphan’s existence, while there are others who use their senses of logic and reason. But no one has been able prove that the Silent Orphan was being helped by other people, namely, a subterranean society of other orphans and child runaways. In the case of the Godmother, she was more so interested in finally trying to put the whole aura of mystery regarding the Silent Orphan to rest, as opposed to being fascinated by the exploits of a supposed urban…

    Ireland has a long custom of valuing education going back as far as the monastic and bardic traditions and it fundamentally survived the spread of the English language and Protectionism as well as the outcomes of the Act of Union that regularised education in Ireland. With the arrival of the Education Act of 1831 Irish was removed as the medium of teaching causing the decline in the language. The rise of nationalism that followed which still continues, created a sense of patriotism within the community at home and abroad, which generated a rose tinted view of language and culture. Daniel O’ Connell however was a realist in this argument and recognised the value for the English language and need to empathise with the Irish cultural dimension.…

    Machiavelli's Analysis

    Think of a relationship in life, one where there is a dominant person over a group of people. Is this dominant person more feared or more loved by the general population? Machiavelli states that it is better to be feared than it is to be loved when ruling over a group of people, because one of them is going to outweigh the other no matter what. This does show to be true, but not to the extreme Machiavelli describes. In modern day, for the United States, there is no ruler or president that has public shaming or public killings, that was deemed unnecessary multiple decades ago. There is a huge line between fear and respect. Respect is a balance between love and fear, and it shows to have better outcomes with more accuracy of people not rising against ‘the man.’ There must be a balance between fear and love, if there is just fear there will be hatred, if there is just love there will be chaos. Respect is the happy medium between the love and fear, and it shows to have more positive outcomes than just fearing a leader.…
