Narratives about captivity have often intrigued readers in Western culture. Mary Rowlandson and Olaudah Equiano’s stories helped pave the way for stereotypes within both European and white culture; teaching Europeans to see Native Americans as cruel and allowing whites to see the evil in the American slave market. In both “A Narrative of the Captivity” and “The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano,” Mary Rowlandson and Olaudah Equiano share their individual stories of being kidnapped and enslaved. Though the two narrators share similarities in their personal accounts of being held captive, either individual’s reaction sheds light on the true purpose of both Rowlandson and Equiano’s writing.

Olaudah Equiano and Phillis Wheatley both describe their time in slavery and their experiences of injustice directed at them. Equiano goes into depth in his narrative about the institution of slavery and the experiences he encountered as a slave from being captured to buying his freedom. He characterizes the injustice done to the African people by applying the literary words often used on native people and applying it back to the Europeans. In doing this, he gives a better perspective to his readers about the experience he went through. He writes about how these White people are brutal to not only the Africans, but to each other as well. Though later in his narrative he writes about the white people who are kind to him, which is in contrast

Mary Rowlandson, William Bradford and Equiano all had their own views and beliefs on religion. During the period of the 16th and 17th century, people relied very heavily on the presence of God. For example, Mary Rowlandson and William Bradford were puritans. They were dependent upon God. Puritans believed that the Bible was God’s true law, and it provided them with a way of life. They would praise God with the positive attributes that comes in their life and acknowledge God with the sorrow and despair. Mary believed that it was an act of God that provided her with a bible, gave her the strength to resist tobacco, prevented her foot from getting wet in the cold water, which would play a part in her weakened body and gave her the resilience to

In class we read the book called ¨The Westing Game¨ and watched the movie after. There where many differences. In the book the character Angela Wexler, she has blue eyes, and blonde hair but in the movie she has brown eyes. In the book she is marrying D. Denton Deere but in the movie she is marrying E.J Plum because if she does Plum promises to help Angela with money to help her get into medical school and to help her father who is Jake Wexler with his job, he is in great debt at the moment. In the book Jake Wexler is the bookie meaning he made bets not take them but in the movie he took the bet and gambles periodically losing all his money but he is still working hard on paying off his debts.

Mary Rowlandson was an American wife and mother who had experienced captivity for eleven dreadful weeks. Olaudah Equiano was an African American who wanted to break free from the chains of slavery. He eventually purchased his freedom after ten gruesome years. Both Rowlandson and Equiano inspired people from two different eras to never give up in insufferable situations. The stories themes are similar in that they both concern two individuals that accompany a female relative, experienced humility, and were sold against their will for financial gain. However, the methods of how they received their freedom were different, both maintained contrasting attitudes toward their captors, and possessed

Gladys: I am afraid of for my daughter’s safety. My husband’s angry outbursts are out of control.

There are many marriage rules and traditions that happen all around the globe. As an aboriginal couple they have different regulations as a male and as a women. As a male, he was permitted to have more than one spouse at the same time. But as a women, she can only remarry if she is a widow. Another thing that is interesting about the marriages in Aboriginal people is the “Blackfella Way”. Meaning the couple has not received an official church blessing or any other type of legal confirmation of their relationship. So in current times, if you do not have any confirmation about your marriage, your marriage would not exist. The other interesting thing about Aboriginals way in current time is the name of their extended family. Instead of calling their cousins, cousins, no matter if it is a boy or girl, they called them “Cousin Brother” or “Cousin Sister”. Even though this is something that makes total sense, I still find it really interesting to know that is what they call each other.

After they married, in spite of her unentertained heart, they had two boys. Many of the other women around her made

There are many different types of women in the world, but all of them mean something different. Some are as smart as Einstein, then there are the girly girls, the snobs, and some just want to be plain old tomboys and many more. Even though they might seem like they would never be alike, they are. Two very different girls might seem this way, but they have many connections. Josephine and Amy March are two sisters of differences and similarities and even though they are different, many people love them both.

Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin was a novel written in times of unrest where slavery was a controversial topic and women 's rights were still suffering. Uncle Tom’s Cabin showed the grim reality of slavery and showed the importance for women to gain a societal role beyond the domestic domain. The reading contains a number of major characters throughout the novel. The two most notable characters we will discuss is Mrs. Shelby and Marie St. Clare. Throughout this paper we will compare and contrast these two characters and give specific examples to illustrate the similarities and differences between these two unique individuals.

People who are in relation by affinity are typically step-brothers and step-sisters ("Factsheets: Incest."). Some even take it to the measurements of being related through adoption or marital status’ and even people who are living in the same household, who could be related or not (Webster). Prohibitions still exist in affinity relationships, but not as strictly as they do with consanguineous relationships. All states have different laws, but the majority of them do not have laws on marrying relatives who are not blood. Most states will prohibit any marriage closer than second-cousins; however, in some, they only prohibit marriage closer than first-cousins (Webster). The Uniform Marriage and Divorce Act prohibits all marriages on relatives, however, not all states are entitled to this act. If people were informed that this act could be saving a life, then it may have been enforced in every
