When dealing with Non-Fiction and Memoir it is imperative to realize that no two authors will approach telling their story in the same manner. Elie Weisel and Charlotte Delbo, two survivors of Auschwitz, both chose to write their Memoir as testimonials of their experiences. Despite sharing a method of testimonial and similar experiences in their stories, the two finished pieces are nearly entirely different. This paper will focus on Elie Weisel’s method of reporting his experiences to the reader, as opposed to a brief discussion on Delbo who tends to reflect. The scene of focus in the comparison and contrast will be the arrival scene as the authors enter into Auschwitz. This is a universal scene that would have been similar for everyone that entered into the camp, so it is what I call a unique shared experience, as everyone’s experiences will of course vary. But, aside from being a common experience it is also a common primary reflective moment that both authors spend quite a bit of time discussing.

Gloria Anzaldua’s article “How to Tame a Wild Tongue” focuses on the discrimination against Latin American individuals, who are residents or citizens, of the United States. Gloria Anzaldua empathizes the bullying in schools and in her daily life. Despite all the bullying and discrimination she had to put up with, Gloria stands up for herself and fights for her culture and origins. She chooses to love herself for who she is, which allowed her to put those ugly comments and actions aside to grow into the person she is today. Amy Tan’s article “Mother Tongue,” also focuses on the discrimination against her efforts to speak and write English. Amy Tan emphasizes the topics of standardized testing and discrimination within schools that go

The kitchen’s purpose, for instance, is used as a symbol for warmth and security where the family gathers together, eats and talks about common issues. Furthermore this comfort is broken when the little girl “heard her mother closing cupboards and drawers, heard her father’s boots on the linoleum as he moved toward the back porch.” (57) This determines the disruption of shelter and the action of closing the cupboards and drawers suggests the need of protection.

There may not be a more well-known comedy routine in the American consciousness than that of “Who’s on First?” by Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. The routine has been parodied, satirized and imitated by countless TV shows, movies, and theatre productions, and the joke has become almost a cultural shorthand for confusing situations.

During the 1800s, slaves received treatment comparable to that of livestock. They were mere possessions of white men stripped of almost every last bit of humanity in them. African-Americans were constricted to this state of mind by their owners vicious treatment, but also the practice of keeping them uneducated. Keeping the slaves illiterate hindered them from understanding the world around them. Slave owners knew this. The slaves who were able to read and write always rebelled more against their masters. Frederick Douglass, author of "A Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass," and Harriet Jacobs, author of "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl," were prime examples. Both slaves had been taught how read and write at a young

On July 3, 1954 in Cleveland, Ohio, Sam and Marilyn Sheppard were entertaining guests at their house.1-4 Sam had spent most of his day in surgery at the osteopathic medicine hospital his family owned.1 When Sam got off work he headed to the Ahern’s house, their neighbors, and picked up Marilyn and Chip, Sam’s son.1 The Adhern’s, including their children, followed Sam back to his home were they made dinner and then watched TV in the living room.1,2 After participating in the chit chat of the evening, Sam became tried and laid down on a couch in the living room and quickly fell asleep.1 He remembers Marilyn trying to arouse him to say she was going upstairs to go to bed.1 Several hours later, Sam was awoken to a scream, he jumped up from the couch, ran upstairs and entered the bedroom. Suddenly, Sam was struck from behind.1,2

Topic 2: Identity is a central concern of contemporary life. Critically examine and discuss how design or art has been used to explore, discuss and express identity.

Throughout this essay, I am going to explore how architecture and design can be a mechanism which is able to influence the public and have a control over society. On a daily basis, society is continuously being subconsciously impacted and some may say controlled by factors of architecture and design such as propaganda buildings, public spaces, objects, graphics, films and advertisement. I am going to investigate into how each of these aspects may have subliminal messages within them and what effect this may have on individuals and the general public. It is also important to recognise why certain people react to certain manners of architecture and design and how this may have changed over the years. Human behaviour in society is undoubtedly influenced by the creation and construction of the environments they live, work and socialise in. People, subconsciously, tend to live their lives precisely linked to the way the environments they are living within are designed. Factors, like objects and graphics - such as billboard advertisements, in these environments also have an effect on society and how people behave. Architecture and design have the power to encourage people to communicate with one another, they have the power inspire people to explore different aspects of their cities and/or countries. They can encourage someone to become more active, through clever thought and form. Architecture and design have the ability to influence the behaviour of people in prisons, hospitals,

Helen serves as a foil to both Brocklehurt and Jane. Helen has self-discipline and also a strong sense of Christian faith. She also differs from Jane's lack of emotional control. Helen also makes an impression on Jane causing Jane to undergo an internal evolution when it is time for humiliation . She states " There was I, then, mounted aloft; I, who had said I could not bear the shame of standing on my natural feet in the middle of the room, was now exposed to general view on a pedestial of infamy. What my sensations were no language can describe; but just as they all rose, stifling my breath and constricting my throat, a girl came up and passed me: in passing, she lifted her eyes. What a strange light inspired them! What an extraordinary sensation

Every movie is produced with a purpose. A movie can be sharing real life stories, giving people advice, to raise awareness, marking important history moments, and so much more. “Something the Lord Made,” which is based on the story of Vivien Thomas and Alfred Blalock has its own purpose like all other movies. It touches some sensitive issues that happen at the time of 1930-1980. Some of the issues are racial discrimination, an extraordinary partnership between a white man and a black man, and most importantly perseverance in chasing one’s dream.

I have chosen to discuss Judy Attfield’s text, ‘FORM/female FOLLOWS FUNCTION/male: Feminist Critiques of Design’ because she talks to her audience about her present and historical experience of what it is like to be a female designer in what people consider to be a more masculine line of work. Attfield allows her feminism to flourish in a distinctive style of writing which not only engages the reader but also the problematic practice of being a female designer.

How do Billy Collins’ Litany and Carol Ann Duffy’s Mrs Darwin effectively challenge accepted conventions and encourage new ideas and opinions?

Meredith Davis’s book “Graphic Design Theory” was published in September 2012 by Thames & Hudson. This book blends a study of historical thinking of design with contemporary / modern approach to it. It also suggests students to critically analyse their work and asks them to adopt the design theories to embellish their practical design work as it will help them construct better work. This book also helps in understanding the consumers and the history of Graphic Design and also talks about a range of theories and introduces a collection of concepts and sources for future use and reference. In this book, Meredith Davis talks about the relationship of visual representation to the contexts of design. It talks about focusing on the broad and long term aftereffects of design and not to design only for the moment and responding to prompt needs.
