I am currently a Junior at Mills High School that is enrolled in the AP Language and Composition class. For our summer assignment, we were assigned to read Zeitoun by Dave Eggers, which recounts the true story of a Muslim-American man named Abdulrahman Zeitoun who remained in New Orleans during 2005’s deadly Hurricane Katrina. While trapped in the city, Zeitoun paddles in his canoe in the flooded streets coming to the aid of those who are in danger; however, Zeitoun is arrested under accusations of being affiliated with an Al-Qaeda Terrorist Cell. Throughout the novel, Zeitoun is portrayed as a gentle and compassionate person who puts his own life on the line to save others; defying the harsh stereotypes that surround Muslims following 9/11. While Zeitoun certainly redefines the views of the reader and portrays a real struggle for Muslims in our nation today, would you still appreciate this story’s message and meaning if I informed you that the real Zeitoun was a man known for committing domestic violence to his wife? Mr. Zeitoun does indeed abuse his wife and has been under trial several times and was convicted for domestic violence and later faced allegations of hiring attacks on his wife, Kathy. The controversy divided my class into two distinct advocates, some of my classmates encourage Zeitoun to be remain in the AP Language and Composition curriculum. While others, including myself, agree that by reading, studying, and writing about Zeitoun we glorify a man who abuses

The Kamakura period was a balance between disaster and natural elegance. Kamo no Chomei’s coming of age included religious routines that created a path for himself that he followed whether or not he liked. Being born into a family where serving higher authorities is mandatory, the quest to have higher status in the world is expected. In Kamo no Chōmei’s shoes he lacks social skill to advance himself. This could then b pictured as growing the characteristics of Humility and Arrogance. For Example, “his father died young while Chomei was still in his teens, leaving him without the means for social advancement.” (Chomei 623) Much like today after coming of age and experience people can figure out what they are good at and not so good at, and in Chomei shoes he excelled at poetry and writing. Since being invited to the prestigious Imperial poetry office where all the best writings across the state are collected. This is the beginning of Chomei’s true character of reserve to himself and make his status better. But since being denied a higher position in the shrine, Chomei reclusiveness heightened.

Kazuo Ishiguro, although still alive, has already changed the face of the field of literature. He has done this through the variant style with which he writes and the way that his Japanese background influences his writing (Sim). He has a unique writing style that is seldom mirrored in the works of other writers in the same genre (Brownstein). Many critics note that he is always producing different books that have such diverse plots which proves that “the most exciting thing about his work is just this refusal to stand still as a writer, this desire to push the envelope” (Sim). Kazuo Ishiguro is a writer who, like many, enjoys exploring a certain topic or emotion, and he especially liked writing about how regrets and memories affect people throughout life (Taylor). His utilization of memories and regrets helps him make deep meaningful characters who allow people to sympathize with their causes (Taylor). Kazuo Ishiguro’s most important contribution to literature is the variety he adds to his field by incorporating his Japanese heritage, his twist endings that surprise readers, the emotions of memories and regret to allow for realistic characters, and his diverse range of writing.
