Part 1: After viewing the life of Winnie Mandela I have noticed five themes of multiculturalism. The first theme I noticed was identity. Winnie had a very strict upbringing by a father who was disappointed she was not born a boy. She tried to prove to him her entire child hood that she was worthy and capable of making him proud. She became one of the best stick fighters around‚ despite the fact that she was female in order to gain acceptance of him. The second was culture‚ she gave up the chance

Winnie-the-Pooh‚ the anthropomorphic bear from the Hundred Acre Wood‚ was a teddy bear owned by his son. In the first chapter of Winnie-the-Pooh‚ A.A Milne offers an explanation of why Winnie-the-Pooh is often called simply “Pooh.” “But his arms were so stiff…they stayed up straight in the air for more than a week‚ and whenever a fly came and settled on his nose he had to blow it off.
