The Divine Wind Analysis

Throughout the course of history it is apparent that racism is present in most societies. During times of war people of a certain race may choose to segregate themselves in order to become the leading power in their society. In his book, War Without Mercy: Race and Power in the Pacific War published in New York by Pantheon books and copyrighted in 1986, John W. Dower presents arguments for both the United States and Japan which constitute similarities in the belief of a superior race as well as illustrates contradictions on how each side viewed the war.

With a war against the Japanese was the trigger for racism in Australia. All throughout the novel elements of separation are presented. The

In Jordan Stanger-Ross’s article, “Telling A Difficult Past: Kishizo Kimura’s Memoir of Entanglement in Racist Policy”, the reader is introduced to the treatment of Japanese Canadians during World War II, by observing the memoir of Japanese Canadian, Kishizo Kimura. The article investigates the process and reasoning behind the liquidation of Japanese Canadian’s property. The article also explains Kimura’s role on the liquidation committee and his assistance in the Fishing Vessel Disposal Committee. During World War II, the Japanese Canadians were treated unjustly in numerous ways when the government took away their belongings and rights, blamed them for things that were not their fault, and sent them away to internment camps. Throughout the 1940’s, Japanese Canadians were uprooted from their homes, were under state surveillance, dispersed from British Columbia, and some were even deported from Canada.

Wade Davis once said: “Heroes are never perfect, but they're brave, they're authentic, they're courageous, determined, discreet, and they've got grit.” This is the essence of Captain Jonsen of A High Wind in Jamaica. Captain Jonsen is certainly a hero, but he isn’t your typical 100% good-defeat-the-bad-guy hero, he is a tragic hero. Captain Jonsen’s actions including taking the children onto the schooner, leaving the Dutch captain in the same bunk where Emily was healing from her injury, and trusting Emily to not reveal anything about how the children were captured and treated on the schooner lead to his unfortunate demise.

In the painting that T. Harrison Judd who was rediscovering work of J. Alden Weir I came upon “Through a Window-sunset Windham.” The painting is a modern style painting of a tree that don’t have leave on its branches. When I look that this painting the music that comes to me is country. Because they’re dark colors in the painting to me that represents deep vocals. When I look at the sunset in the picture it reminds me of Hawaii sunset and the beautiful color. When I look at the painting the instrument that come to my mind is guitar, drums, vocals, piano.

Happiness; a person is content or delighted with him or herself. Suzanne Fisher Staples wrote the book, Shabanu: Daughter of the Wind. This book is about a young girl, Shabanu that lives in the deserts of Pakistan. She lives with her Dadi, Mama, and her sister, Phulan. Both girls are coming of age, and all already have whom they will be marrying, but change of events caused everything to go the opposite of what planned. Shabanu will have to sacrifice what she wants to what the world wants. In this book, it will go so far to show how with happiness, the characters will go through anything to find their happiness.

Inherit the Wind was written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee. It tells the tale of a “Monkey Trial” based on what evolution really is to the people in the small town of Hillsboro, a biblical driven town with laws implemented to teaching the Bible, nothing else. The case presented both biological and biblical reference, while also presenting what ignorance and confidence could do to egotistical individuals. In this essay, we will dive into what I have learned from this experience.

Once maximum sustained winds reach 74 miles per hour or higher, it is then an official hurricane (National Hurricane Center, n.d.). A major hurricane is when maximum sustained winds reach 111 miles per hour or higher (National Hurricane Center, n.d.). It is imperative to understand the magnitude of hurricanes and the dangers it can leave behind.

The Wind in the Willows describes four close friends and their adventures through the Wild Woods. Kenneth Grahame portrays the characters as animals who depict human behavior. Their journey of friendship is not always easy though. You see how each character grows throughout the novel, but society still makes their final judgment of each individual.

I’m Tim. Greetings my brothers! When thinking of March, I don’t think of MARCH MADNESS; I reflect about the wind. (Remember I’m from Georgia…we don’t get excited about basketball.) Growing up on the farm, spring breaks were for plowing or planting. I can remember coming home at the end of the day covered in dirt and dust from riding the tractor on a windy day. Also in my memory banks is the unique sound made by a breeze rushing through the pines. I never really thought much of it then, but the wind has a whole new meaning for me now. Genesis Chapter 1 starts with: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of

In A High Wind in Jamaica, Emily Bas-Thornton is a ten-year-old girl and one of the five Bas-Thornton children who was captured when Pirates seized the ship they were on. Just like Ben Lovatt from the novel The Fifth Child, Emily has several roles in this book, except her key role being a victim. Once captured by pirates Emily becomes victimized in several ways one of those being sexual. After a very drunk night the captain Jonsen made a sexual overture towards Emily “At that moment Jonsen had staggered up to Emily, and putting one hand under her chin had begun to stroke her hair with the other,” in result, “she caught his thumb and bit as hard as she could” (Hughes 143). Due to the sexual overture, the captain advanced towards Emily, she becomes

Emily Bronte autobiography and poem “The Night Wind” are very much related to my life story and feeling I encounter. We both are mourning for loss of a parent at an early age.

A raising conflict in the film Inherit the Wind is disputed between church and state. The differences among these two entities revolves around education and how the youthful generation should be taught about God’s creation of man. Scenes with characters and references that support this claim include the start of the film where a majority of the “important” figures in the town meet to discuss the trial of Bertram Cates which features the banker. This scene holds its importance, upon their discussion of faith, a newspaper is brought to their attention with a headline that reports Matthew Harrison Brady will take place in the prosecution. The people at the meeting then drop ideals of religion into ways to make profit to benefit the town. E.K. Hornbeck who comes into the film as part of the team to defend Cates has multiple scenes that show how outsiders come into Hillsboro and stick out in society. He ridicules everyone’s way of life and can almost be seen as a representation of the walking Devil in the town. Reverend Brown’s character is the maintainer of faith for the town through the time of challenging the beliefs of the Bible.

Rural communities, consisting of primarily minority groups, are predominately found throughout western China, each rich with their own traditions and values. Despite differences in their unique cultures, a large majority of them live underprivileged lives. The wealth gap in China has been increasing rapidly since the opening of the economy to global trade with the creation of a free market in the 1980’s. As a result of the economy’s growth, many residents in urban metropolitan areas of China have obtained extravagant wealth, while the rural western portion of China remains decades behind in development. One minority ethnic group in particular, the Lisu, live in the foothills and mountains that separate southwestern China from Myanmar in Yunnan province. Throughout this paper, I will analyze the documentary, Bridge of Winds, which followed the daily lives of the Lisu people in fall of 1992, to purposefully show the negative effects of the wealth gap towards rural populations within China because of their lack of access to education, the intensive labor required for survival, and the meager lifestyles they are forced lead because of their low income.
