A Short Story : The Story Of Indra And Somarasa

Soraya the Storyteller by Rosanne Hawke is a fiction novel about a young girl and her struggles moving from Afghanistan to Australia. She faces Racism because of her differences and culture plus she must overcome language barriers to settle into her temporary home. Soraya is marginalised throughout the novel in ways that are both intended to cause harm and unintentional ways. This means she is treated differently than the dominant culture. In Soraya, the Storyteller marginalisation mainly occurs through dislike of her culture, racism, language and learning.

Mr. Kapasi found a growing affection for Mrs. Das when she expressed that his job translating for patients, which he thought of as a sign of his failings, was actually romantic to her. Mrs. Das began as an inattentive passenger in his tour to the Sun Temple who paid little attention to her kids, husband, and sights around her. She and Mr. Kapasi warmed up to each other while discussing Mr. Kapasi’s other job and tourist attractions. Mr. Kapasi was flattered by this woman who he deemed attractive and in an ill-suited marriage. Because of the new-found intoxication with this women who showed genuine interest in him, he even began to doubt his own marriage with his thoughts, “He wondered if Mr. and Mrs. Das were a bad match, just as he and his wife were,” (Lahiri 53). Both Mr. Kapasi and Miranda began to enter into controversy with their new relationships with partners who made them feel cherished while staying oblivious to other concerning factors in the growing relationships.

The Indian Tale of Tulisa an Aarne-Tompson Tale Type 425 and the Disney animated Cinderella, both encompass the idea of manipulation or the use someone of a lower status for the benefit of one’s self seated in a higher power. Within both the Indian Tale of Tulisa and the 1950’s Disney animated film Cinderella, individuals within the story use other characters for their own benefit to achieve personal gain. The main characters, Tulisa in Tale of Tulisa and Cinderella in the film Cinderella, both summon animals of different species to help them complete tasks delegated to them to please a higher individual. There is an instance where the Queen in Tale of Tulisa uses Sarkasukis, disguised as an elderly woman, to trick Tulisa into performing tasks to benefit her status, Cinderella’s step-mother in Cinderella uses her two daughters to hurt their step-sister mentally and impose tasks upon her. Then at the beginning of the Tale of Tulisa, Nur-Singh, Tulisa’s father is persuaded to give away his daughter’s hand in marriage to a strange voice originating from a well in return for grand wealth, as Cinderella in the animated movie Cinderella is offered a new life with wealth when the Prince falls in love with her at the ball. There are several accounts throughout both stories where an individual is persuaded to complete an action through lies and deceit, so they will fail in the end, as the outcome ends up going the way of the one in power.

Look stop trying. Talk me out or this bounty.” I give two shits what they use you for. I ain’t got caps and I need them.

The author who brought to us The Tale of Genji, a novel now regarded as the first written novel in history, left behind an arguably more treasurable artifact: a diary that opens a window into history. The Diary of Lady Murasaki by Lady Murasaki Shikibu gives the reader a glimpse of the imperial court during eleventh century Japan and presents the past in an illuminated vision. Being an attendant in the imperial court, Lady Murasaki is frequently involved with the activities of elite Japanese women. Her day-to-day interaction with the nobles and elites enhance her account with the curious perspective of an elite female. As a woman, Lady Murasaki's descriptions are oriented around clothing

When I was young, my family and I lived in the coastal plains of Texas. One day, I started to think about what it was like at the very top in Texas. I always dreamed about the cowboys, farms, ranchers and the farm animals, that they were unique and that that was the only things that the great plains had. As I grew older, I thought it was boring, and then I had an idea. What if I, Maria Muro could make it more fun? So, I decided to dedicate my life to make the most fun city In Texas.

They started investigating how long, what days, and how often they would hear the screams and cries. Until one day they decided too check out the house that was making all the noise. The old abandoned house. They packed food, flash lights, and their phone just incase they found something weird. When they got too the driveway of the abandoned house they were trying to whisper because if someone or thing was in the house they did not want them to hear their

According to a valuable Sikh quote, “Man is born from a woman; within woman, man is conceived; to a woman he is engaged and married. Man is friends with woman; through woman, the future generations exist. When his woman passes away, he seeks another woman; to a woman a man is bound. So why call her bad? From her, kings are born; From a woman, woman is born; without woman there would be non one at all” (Nesbitt, 2000). This quote is printed in every Guru temple. This is message is a reminder to all-Sikh religious men. Sikh men’s identity should be defined by their religion and not, but the Hindi culture. Obviously, the Hindi culture aspect of inequality between men and women blocks the religious to gain a personal identity based on the Hindi

In the essentially dual religious system in Japan, ideologies and traditions play a heavy role in the everyday life of the Japanese people. Shintoism and Buddhism intertwine and complement themselves in Japanese culture, despite Buddhism coming in from mainland Asia. A particularly powerful idea from Buddhism is mono no aware, the realization and acknowledgment of the impermanence and its place in the world. This idea that nothing stays the same forever manifests itself heavily in Japanese literature, whether in personal writings or fictional works. Despite spanning hundreds of years, each work was shaped by and include manifestations of mono no aware. I intend to underline and pinpoint instances that mono no aware is influencing these works, and discuss similarities and differences between them. In this paper, I have three works that I will explore, each one corresponding to a different time period before the pre-industrial revolution; The Diary of Lady Murasaki comes from the classical period, Essays in Idleness from the medieval, and the immensely popular play Chushingura from the pre-modern era.

But this thought did not last long. When only two of them were sitting together in the car, after Mr. Das and the kids left for trekking, at the hills at Udayagiri and khandagiri they had some private conversations. This conversation, all of a sudden changed the thoughts of Mr. Kapasi towards Mrs. Das. His thoughts changed from deserving her so much to doubting her behavior. When talking about Bobby Mrs. Das said, “he is not his.” This quotation brought abrupt change in him. He felt prickle on his skin. He reached into his shirt pocket for the small tin of lotus-oil balm he carried with him at all times, and applied it to three spots on his forehead. He was shocked by this news, totally shocked. She did not even hesitate to tell how she made silent love with one of the friend of Mr. Das and as a result of which Bobby was born. This was totally unacceptable to Mr. Kapasi. He had not expected a woman to disclose this
