Epilogue Of Oikawa's Home

The general made one of his deepest bows. "I see," he said. "Splendid! One of us is to furnish a repast for the hounds. The other will sleep in this very excellent bed. On guard, Rainsford."

As Oekeke awoke, he shifted in his bed with a pain coming from his chest. It wasn’t a pain that made you clench up and scream, he knew from that moment something was very wrong. He tried to open his at last, from when he awoke his eyes were still weary but it seemed as though he was stuck in time. His heart pumped faster and his mind was propelling from left to right to across the back and back. All he could think of was his family, but with such confusion he could hardly focus on the realty of his situation. It was a sensation he’d never felt ever before, and as he saw his life flash by him he knew the only thing he could do was to wait it out. The old man finally grasped control of his life covered in sweat and disorientation. He asked

The purpose of the song is to connect Australian citizens to Australia as their home. It is broad enough, meaning that other nationalities can relate to the song and relate the song to their home. However, the main audience of for the text are native, Indigenous Australians and Torres Strait islanders since the song was written in their view. This song can also be an audience for refugees and/or immigrants of any country. Christine Anu is born in Cairns, North Queensland of Torres Strait Island descent, Australia's premier urban-style pop singer. Christine Anu's connection to with her family heritage was the time her father pulled out his guitar, put downward the mats on the veranda of the family home, and encouraged a family sing-along, singing island songs. Her version of Neil Murray's Warumpi Band "My Island Home” the song which has come Anu's trademark was released three months later, as a prelude to the release of the May, 1995, album Styling up. "My Island Home" was the winning 'Song of the Year' at the 1995 APRA Awards 3 and Styling' Up winning an ARIA Award for Best Indigenous Release.

During a warm, sunny morning at a house surrounded by a big field of flowers, Oyasumi has to babysit two kids, Prince Alfred and Nature Alfred. Oyasumi made a cup of coffee for herself as she waited for the kids to arrive. They finally arrived at Oyasumi’s house and ran to the door, excited and happy. Oyasumi didn’t want them in her house with the thoughts of something possibly breaking, so she told them to play outside. Nature Alfred rolled around in the flowers, purring with happiness to finally see lots of plant life, while Prince Alfred became bored. After a few minutes, Nature Alfred also got bored. Prince Alfred felt like roleplaying as his character, a prince, but he also didn’t want Oyasumi to be the “beautiful” princess in his roleplay.

“I immediately sent a non-commissioned officer and 12 men to protect both the sentry and the king's money, and very soon followed myself to prevent, if possible, all disorder, fearing lest the officer and soldiers, by the

Throughout the book, Oteka displays a great deal of independence. He spends a year raising money for a medicine man so he can speak to his mother. Oteka does this alone, without the help of friends or family. He simply relies on himself. He says: “The two five-thousand shilling notes that were folded tightly in his hand, added to the ninety thousand shillings he had hidden in his hut, would at least be enough. Begging, selling, working- it had taken him almost a year to collect this princely sum” (McKay 23). Oteka has lost his whole family to many different illnesses, and does not have any money left to him by his parents. His only friend/family is a woman named Adaa. She is old and is slowly growing blind, so Oteka cannot go to Adaa for help. On his own, he finds a way to raise ninety thousand shilling notes by working a job, selling, and begging on the streets. Another demonstration of Oteka’s independence is when he buries his little sister, Esther. He also cares for his mother when no one else would. He recalls his past saying, “When Oteka’s baby sister, Esther, died of twoo jonyo AIDS, Oteka alone buried her. As his beautiful mother grew weaker and weaker it was Oteka who bathed her and dripped water onto her parched tongue” (McKay 30). Oteka had waited for no one to bury his sister. He must have known that none of the villagers would go near her in fear of catching the disease. Nobody dared to go near or look after his mom because of the same reason. He did what needed to be done without being told, or asking assistance from anyone. Oteka’s independence is what helps him move forward in life, He acts on his own without any influence.

Young Kayden woke up to the screams of the small town of Dwar. It was barely only seven o’clock in the morning, and it was already time. As the town boarded up their homes, Young Kayden didn’t know what was going on, for he had no knowledge of what was happening. Since he was the Head Official’s

The innocence of the narrator in chapter 12 of Joy Kogawa’s book Obasan is contradictory to the dark feeling this text provokes. As the chapter follows Naomi-chan, a five year old Japanese Canadian girl, up until the moment she realises her place in Canada it addresses a significant theme. The chapter shows the unfair treatment of “Japs” in Canadian society through structural characteristics, use of supportive characters, and stylistics. The chapter features repetition and other structural characteristics like the innocence of the narrator allows for the reader to learn and question the events taking place as they occur. Aside from the narrator, Stephen tends to speak often as a supportive character and adds depth to the narrators thought

In chapter nine, we get to witness yet another of Francisco’s relocations, this time to Fresno, to a strawberry farm. We also get to see Francisco go to school again, this time in the sixth grade, and make a new friend. This new friend is none other than his teacher, Mr. Lema, and he helps him improve his English, whilst also agreeing to teach him how to play the trumpet. Francisco’s hopes to learn the trumpet are quickly shattered when he goes home to see all of his belongings packed into cardboard boxes.

At the plankton factory, Matt was an outcast but later became a hero after he defies the corrupted keepers and saves one of the boys from being beaten by a cane. When he was released into the boneyard, he escaped with his 3 friends, Chaco, Fidelito, and Ton Ton. Using the plankton harvestor, they were able to break down the electric fence and escape the perimeter under the scorching hot sun. At dawn Fidelito and Matt had to walk on land to San Luis where Tam Lin told Matt he was going to find Maria. During that time, there were Dia de Muertos (celebration of the dead) festivities. When they entered the room where Chacho was hospitalized, they Keepers were there as well as Ton-Ton.

He had been counting since practice had ended the evening before at five P.M. Oikawa had flashed his pretty smile and said “I’ll clean up, Iwa-chan! You go home; I’m just going to stay for another hour or so.”

In chapter 9 of Home, Frank is recounting his time in North Korea when he tells the reader “Korea / You can’t imagine it because you weren’t there” (93), Morrison uses this line to make the statement that the reader can never truly understand the traumatic things Frank experienced in North Korea. To exemplify this point, the event that took place at the church convention can be observed. When Frank is grabbing food, Lily watches Frank run away “when a little girl with slanty eyes reached up over the opposite edge of the table to grab a cupcake” (76-77). The action of Frank during his episode is a clear indication that Korea has affected him in a way the reader will never understand. Not many people can say that they have had the same traumatic

“Ok, I understand Mrs. Evans.” He noticed the way she looked at her husband’s picture hanging on top of the chimney. It was like he was still there to watch her. Everything in the room was tidy and clean. She must have made time pass by cleaning up everything. He could see though that there was an unusually big pile of papers on the corner of the desk behind her seat. Maybe she had been busy organizing some things, a job or maybe a closer investigation on the case…
