The White Tiger by Avarind Adiga is a satire on the reality of India and the life of the people who live there. The author’s intent is to illustrate the darker side to India that is not part of the original Western idea of India.

Questions have been raised on whether Chinese parenting raises more flourishing children than Western parenting. Despite what people think, in Amy Chua's essay “The Roar of the Tiger Mom”, she portrays the differences between the beliefs of Chinese parenting and Western parenting. Chua introduces the views of a Chinese parent compared to the views of a Western parent. The methods used by Chinese mothers in raising their children are drastically different from Western mothers.

Americans live in a society that is undoubtedly dominated by men. In order to fit into that society, women are subjected to cooperating and giving into the standards and ideologies set forth by men (Foss, 2004). We can see these concepts are not demonstrated in Mac Miller’s album, The Divine Feminine, because he is trying to convey the problems that women have gone through growing up feminine and for those trying to find a female identity. Women do not want to be seen ambivalent like a walking contradiction.

“But, I 'm already resigned to this fate / Looking over my life, I recall / If it hadn 't been / for the loneliness / I 'd have no companion at all. ” This stanza from “Loneliness”, by Lora Colon evokes the negative impact a lonely fate has on a person. Words like “resigned” and “loneliness” establish a sense of depression and resignation. During the times of the Great Depression, many people felt similar feelings of melancholy and stoicism. Jobs were hard to come by, and realistic dreams of success were scarce. John Steinbeck’s novel, Of Mice and Men, allows readers to see the life of the Great Depression. The two main characters, George and Lennie, search for jobs, like many other migrant workers. They dream of owning their own land, however, Lennie’s habit of getting in trouble prevents their dream from being reality. After he accidentally causes more trouble at their new job, George is forced to kill him out of mercy. Throughout the novel, Steinbeck shows that even if one meticulously plans out the road to their American Dream, fate will inevitably intervene and lead one to desolation and loneliness.

In my ISU Media Display, I used a variety of symbols and images to highlight important elements from The Little Old Lady Who Broke All The Rules by Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg. Through visual representation of characters, incorporation of key symbols and the use meaningful images I was able to create a project that highlights the crucial element of the novel. I used a variety of images that depict some of the main characters via symbolism. For example, Christina has an “interest in literature” (page 21) and makes multiple references to her love for the arts. Therefore, I depicted her as a paintbrush to re-emphasize her passions towards artistry. However, I did not represent Martha as an object, I illustrated her as a senior woman with a walker.

At the resolution, the writer does not tell the outcome of the short story either the princess has do overcome her jealousy towards the lady, and let her have him or choose the death for the young man because of her jealousy. Her jealousy will influence the outcome of the story.

A man goes on trial who is having a love affair with the king’s daughter and so the princess has to decide whether to tell the man to open the door with the lady or the tiger in it. The reasons the lady tells the man to open the door with the tiger are “How in her grievous reveries had she gnashed her teeth, torn her hair, when she saw his start of rapturous delight as he opened the door of the lady!” (Stockton 3) and “... she hated the woman who blushed and trembled behind the silent door” (Stockton 3).

The young man walked over to the right door, the crowd was silent, no murmurs, not even a breath. All you could hear was the sound of his footsteps against the dirt ground, his heavy breathing, and he almost swore you could hear his own thinking, wondering to himself what fate the princess had decided for him. He stood in front of the doors, looking at the right door the lady had pointed him to. The doors stood tall to him, seeming to mock him for the retribution he thought he didn't deserve. He hadn’t hurt the princess, or threatened to, all the young man did was love the king's daughter, but as a subordinate compared to royalty, that was not allowed. So, he stood in front of the nine foot tall door, trusting the woman he loved, did what she thought was right.
