The Blood Meridian Or The Evening Redness Of The West Analysis

This long sentence emphasizes that John Grady Cole feels like the train - both shaky and “running”, as he does from his own country and past. He is described as having “rode with the sun coppering his face and the red wind blowing out of the west. He turned south...and stood like a man come to the end of something” (5). “End of something” refers to John Grady Cole’s absent desire to remain in America; now that his grandfather is gone, his mother will sell the ranch - as it falls into her possession - meaning he will no longer be able to be a cowboy. The words “red” and “west” echo a negative tone, again portraying that a future in America has vanished for Cole would not want to live. This is exemplified as John “[turns towards the] south” (5) and “stood like a man” (5), showing how he is ready to leave for Mexico. McCarthy employs lugubrious descriptions like “red” (5) and “end of something” (5) as he wants blame to be placed on America for failing John Grady Cole. When John Grady Cole goes to Rawlins the night he decides to leave America, Rawlins asks him, “If I dont go will you go anyways?” (20). He definitively responds, “I'm already gone” (20). Since he is “already gone”, it is perspicuous that his grandfather’s death has greatly affected him and that America offers no opportunity - precisely what McCarthy wants to be seen of the country; he responds in three words, proving that he knows exactly what he wants to

Both Bob Dylan and Arthur Miller expose the irony of the time period called McCarthyism.

The push west was not always as glorified as many 1950s western movies would portray. Rather, there were complicated politics that often led to the disenfranchisement of the native peoples who lived on the lands the Americans were essentially squatting on. There are a number of stylistic elements embedded within Maria Amparo Ruiz de Burton's 1885 work that lead credence to this theme. Using realism and naturalism to show how the social environment of an oppressed people will forever hinder their character development, Amparo Ruiz de Burton exposes the greed and lack of concern in American policy for the native people it was essentially stealing land from.

In the United States it is not uncommon to hear the question, “What are you?” This seemingly simple question stems from the American belief that individuals can be divided into different biologically defined racial groups. However, anthropologists have long argued that U.S. racial groups are a product of American cultural constructions, meaning that racial groups are not genetically determined but only represent the way cultures (in this case Americans) classify people. For example, in the U.S individuals are classified into different races based on their heritage. However in Brazil, people are classified into a series of “tipos" based on their physical appearance. In the article “Mixed Blood”, Jeffrey Fish supports the claim that race is nothing more, but a social construct by demonstrating the cultural basis of race by comparing how races are defined in the United States and Brazil.
