On the story, she commented, “Explaining just what I had hoped the story to say is very difficult. I supposed that by setting a particular brutal ancient rite in the present and in my village the story’s readers with a dramatization of the pointless violence and general inhumanity in their own lives.”

When reading literature we often attempt to use particular threads of thought or lenses of critique to gain entry into the implied historic or legendary nature of literature. To accurately process a tale in the light in which it is presented, we have to consider the text from multiple viewpoints. We must take into consideration intentional and affective fallacies and the socioeconomic circumstances of the presenter/author/narrator. We also have to consider how our personal experience creates bias by placing the elements of the story into the web of relationships that we use to interpret the external world. There also is the need to factor in other external pressures, from societal norms, cultural ideals, and psychological themes, and how

This story is told through a first person perspective as each refugee has their own secrets to keep while seeking a new life. This was a highly effective choice as it enabled the reader to “be in their shoes” and witness the brutal journey these refugees have faced. In order to show us the severity of the journey, imagery is needed since it helps the audience picture the situation as most of us cannot imagine what life at this time was. When Joana arrived at the port, as “animals roamed helplessly in the streets and people screamed out for food and lost family members” (152). This description shows how this war has torn apart everyone physically and emotionally as complete chaos unfolds. It is also an appeal to pathos as her audience would feel devastated by having to witness such a scene. This is because nobody should have no food to eat or not know whether they were safe. As a result, the description of the port upon Joana’s arrival proves that even after their journey was completed, the fight for survival was not over. Instead, it was just beginning as everyone fought for a boarding pass that one hoped would allow them to

The article “Just a Half a Mile from the Mississippi Bridge”: The Mississippi River Valley Origins of Rock and Roll” was written by Dr. Michael Allen Ph.D. who is a history professor of the School of Arts and Sciences, at the University of Washington, Tacoma. The article is part of a work that Allen is currently working on titled, “Mississippi River Valley: The Course of American Civilization”, which discusses the significance and relevance of the Mississippi River area in American history. Because Allen is writing from the geographic distance of the Northwest, he may have a more objective viewpoint of historical events than someone who is living inside Southern culture. The article was written in 2015 for the Southern Quarterly, which is a

The authors do an excellent job providing extensive detailed accounts of the events and are so meticulous in this endeavor, that at times it can become excessive to the point of irrelevancy if the reader’s desire is to acquire a basic synopsis of the story. If the reader is seeking a dry and monotonous academic account, they will certainly not find it here as the history is brilliantly retold in a page-turning and dramatic fashion. Complete with an exhausted list of characters, who at many times, can be difficult to keep up with but are nonetheless instrumental to understanding the intricacy and complexity of the story. Filled with anecdotes and side notes enriched by just about every relevant character and figure of the story whose roles and significance can often be confusing if not followed carefully, the story plays out as a dramatic and theatrical performance that jumps between geography and time. The authors do a remarkable job in providing character profiles, though at times, may teeter tediously as they dive into personal histories and anecdotes that have the potential for both swaying the reader’s attention and content’s intention. However, one must undoubtedly appreciate the journalistic style employed by the authors to weave a story of deep convolution, one that thoroughly investigates every aspect and

To understand what happens at the point of death is impossible unless to be experienced. In “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” by Ambrose Bierce is set during the civil war during a northern advancement of the south. It opens at end of Peyton Farquhar’s life just before he will be hung for intruding on Union soldiers bridge of burn it. The story introduces the stages of death as a person would go through them.

In our reading, there were many things that jumped out to me, but I wanted to touch on a couple of them. Firstly, I wanted to discuss the whole idea of “the bridge” in the story. On page 11, at the end of the 2nd paragraph, Carnehan talks about how he came to the first village. Carnehan speaks of how he and Dravot arrived “without any trouble”, and then proceeds to explain how they gained control of the village. The idea of bridges shows up again on page 14, as Carnehan makes the natives builds bridges that “cut up the country horrid”, and finally at the bottom of page 18, as Dravot falls to his death. I feel that the “bridges” are a representation of the connections between the foreigners (Dravot

How far does the evidence support the theory that the first “Americans” came across the Beringia land bridge?I think that the first Americans came across the Beringia land bridge from Siberia to Alaska.One of evidence shows that in South America “there were chewed cuds of seaweed, and pieces of charcoal,scientist think that they spend most of their time near the sea”. I actually agree with the scientist because if they spend most of their time near the sea it means they might have looked around to see if there was any Island near the sea.

The story that I chose to write about his week is “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge”

However instead of employing historical contexts to create the tension, Ondaatje makes subtle but explicit comments on historical oblivion to individuals and their stories. History is implicitly considered as a master narrative that allows no space to articulate local narratives and to account for the richness, variety and complexity of human experience. To counterbalance the

History itself is a work of fiction that attempts to represses the memories of men and women who were unpopular members of the Canadian society. The Speedy successfully questions the very core of the notion of historical integrity. It does so by introducing, to the audience, a plaque that describes the events surrounding the sinking of the Speedy. The concern that the content of plaque raises in regards to the 1804 sinking of the Speedy is that it fails to provide enough information and detail about the case against Ogetonicut, and it also fails to mention the names of many passengers who lost their lives on the ship. The plaque describes the case in these words: “In 1804 an Indian, Ogetonicut, arrested near York, was accused of murdering a trader.”(Barker, Hanratty, Leuchter, Mand 31). It does not mention the death of Ogetonicut’s brother or any information that describes who he was as a person. In the minds of historians, defining him as an ‘Indian’ and a ‘murderer’ is enough to understand the complicated nature of Ogetonicut and his peoples’ history. A strand of rope can seem very insignificant at times, but it is the small intertwined strands of rope that create a bigger and stronger rope. The play tells the story of the abundance of men and women, such as Ogetonicut, whose stories have been forgotten and

About eighty years ago, engineers were able to build a bridge on time and within budget with no problem; today, most of the projects take extra time and money to finish. What exactly happened between now and eighty years ago that caused such a drastic shift? It is clearly not the engineers nor the technology; in fact, those have only improved over time. Today, engineers are faced with much more than designing and building the infrastructure, as they were before. They compete with politicians for funds, fight for the safety of workers, and protect our environment by adhering to the numerous laws and acts set forth by the government. In the future, we can only expect more costs, longer time periods for projects, and an increase in costs and
