“Where Worlds Collide” is an essay by Pico Iyer who talks about the expectations and reality of Los Angeles through the perspectives of travelers from different backgrounds. In “Where Worlds Collide,” Pico Iyer argues that even though Los Angeles is depicted as a vicinity to receive wealth, happiness, and many opportunities- it is actually the antithesis, and instead, many harsh prejudice and unending craziness will occur instead; Iyer argues this by using allusions, anaphoras, and juxtapositions to help convey what he is saying.

In The Interlopers the theme is based on a feud between two families. The feud is based on an argument over a strip of forestland. The hatred that has developed because of this feud has become quite serious with both Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym having murderous thoughts

As living and breathing human beings people are bound to experience some type of conflict. Conflict can be present within a person, between two people, between a person and forces of nature, and even between a person and their society. Conflict is defined as the struggle that shapes the plot in a story (Clugston, 2014, ch.4sect.1 para.4). When reading a piece of literature, especially a short story, one should pay special attention to the central conflict because it is the key element of the story (Clugston, 2014).

In many ways throughout the short story Saki reflected very obvious experiences a soldier’s possibly have experienced during WWI. One of Saki’s example of what could happen to a soldier during war is when the two men get trapped under the tree. A different example that Saki shows that a soldier possibly could be in is when both of the men bluff and say that they have men coming to save them and no one shows up.

Activism, culture and value have always had a tremendous influence in society. When it comes to the Appalachian region of the United States, people tend to see our culture and values differently. The individuals of the Appalachian region have been stereotyped for far too long, people forget that West Virginia has played a huge role in building this country. Our coal miners have put their lives in danger time and time again, some losing them, for worker’s rights. The Battle of Blair Mountain was the largest labor rebellion in the history of the United States. This was the foundation of the movement for eight hour work days and minimum wages. The novel Storming Heaven by Denise Giardina is a fictionalized tale of the conflict that took place in these coal fields of West Virginia. The novel brings to light the stereotypes, race and religion of the Appalachian people.

Individuals should learn to accept themselves for who they are, not what society wants them to accept. As we continue to evolve, we build up our own characters, and they are typically a mix of the ethnicity and culture we inherit from our family, various encounters in our life, distinctive identity and personality we have. Our character and identity is not something that we get easily, it's an intricate process.

They belong to a black family, but after the immigration they are living in the dominance of the white society.The school is considered as the hegemony of Canada and teacher is considered as the mainstream, it is a sort of social institution that a hegemony shape but they does not know the awareness of marginalized groups. The mother feels anxious when she sees a drawing of a white family by her daughter. It was the misperceptions of the kid that lead to forget her identity or she was too small to identify it. So to examine about the identity of the marginalized individual the beginning is to focus on the quality of the education. It is necessary for every school system to teach equality and inclusions of every group status so that the marginalized group are not left isolated from the society. Secondly, the fear of the marginalized parents from losing their kids in the mainstream society shows their lack of confidence in their own cultural pride. Since

Before either man has time to move, a tree comes crashing down, both injuring and trapping them. At first both Ulrich and Georg claim that their men will be the first to find them and when they do, the other will die. But as more time passes, both find their hatred for each other decreasing and they decide to become friends. Sadly, after this miraculous event, both Ulrich and Georg are killed by wolves.

In the short story,“The Interlopers,” by Saki, the main characters’ relationship changes drastically over time. In the story, two families are torn apart over a feud deciding who got to have a particular piece of land, a forest, when the owner passed away. To end the overdue dispute, two generations later two grown men from each of the families, Ulrich and Georg, go into the forest to fight to the death, until they both get trapped underneath a tree; there the two men learn to forgive one another families a little too late as a pack of wolves overhear their commotion. At the beginning of the story, Ulrich is full of hatred toward Georg, but as their sitting together stuck underneath the tree Ulrich says,” If my men are the first to come, you

The conflict instantly changes and nature becomes involved. While trapped under the tree they realize how idiotic the quarrel has been and vow to become cordial; treating one another as neighbors, instead of as enemies. The men’s forgiveness towards each other displays an internal conflict because both had to weigh the pros and cons of ending the feud. Either they make peace and work together to get freed, or they could just stay angry at one another and risk never being rescued from under the tree. Therefore, the three main conflicts displayed in “The Interlopers” are Man vs. Man, Man vs. Nature, and Man vs. self. All of which provide a great deal of trouble for both men all through-out the novella.

The short story “In The South” by Salmon Rushdie is a story of two older men that have lived completely different lives, and now live together in an adjoining apartment.

Junior is quite optimistic and knows the importance of life, by senior losing junior he learns this as well. Although the short story is blatantly about life and death, it can be interpreted that the two men have an interest in each other that is much deeper than friendship through the events the characters are reacting to, the imagery the narrator displays, and the symbols the author expresses.
