In examining how local and global relationships are mediated during the era of neoliberal globalization, there is a disconnect between appearance and reality. Despite an appearance of prosperity and benefits for both local and global spaces under a system of neoliberal globalization, it is instead an era of inauthentic prosperity in the core built off the exploitation of periphery nations. With the violent realities of neoliberal prosperity displaced to the periphery of the world-system, the genre of Afrofuturism allows literature to mediate and discover the importance of hidden histories while giving a voice to the marginalized. Nalo Hopkinson’s novel The New Moon’s Arms and Pauline Melville’s short story “The Sparkling Bitch” work to reconstruct

During another restless night, Offred emerges from her single bed and dresses in her nightgown and looks through the window to the see the moon gazing down on the surface. She is astonished by the beauty of the moon surrounded by an otherwise obscured sky. The moon in the text is symbolic of Offred’s nature, and the obscured sky surrounding it symbolises the oppression of living a life as a handmaid. Personification of the moon is utilized in order depict elements of Offred when she is described as floating, which means that she is buoyant and strong, and not able to be sunk by anyone. She is also described as wishful, and a goddess which further represents Offred's willpower and immortality in conquering her tough reality, and wishful thinking

This not only demonstrates the level of social standards their in but also their capacity for reasoning. This allegation also proves that the stone is cursed. The Indian talks about the vengeance the stone will have on the individual that possesses it. The diamond meant so much to these Indians that they felt compelled to risk their own life so that they may maintain possession of it for their religious purpose. Although, this jewel meant so much to these innocent Indians, to the others that stole it only meant money. The moonstone was extremely well known. For example when Betteredge says: “We, have been talking of the loss of the Indian diamond, in my aunt’s house in Yorkshire, two years since. Mr. Buff thinks, as I think, that the whole story ought, in the interest of the truth, to be placed on record in writing” (Moonstone 21). Not only are they aware of the Stones history but also they are planning in making it a novel. Everything that has happened as lead to another in this novel because the diamond was given to Rachel from her dead uncle on her birthday and it was a curse upon her life.

The primary locations in this novel is in Sweet Home, a small farm containing slaves in Kentucky, and 124 Bluestone Road on the edge of Cincinnati, Ohio. Although the novel starts out in the home of Sethe and her daughter, Denver, Sweet Home is where Sethe’s experiences to the past begins. In Sweet Home, the slave system was taken over by Mr. and Mrs. Garner, a kind couple who treated their slaves like human beings. 124 becomes personified through the paranormal activities in the house, and through the chapter names; 124 was spiteful, 124 was loud, and 124 was quiet. Mr. Bodwin, the owner of 124, tells how the house has a history of paranoia, "Women died there: his mother, grandmother, an aunt and an older sister before he was born" (259).

The brother is the person who has the most information about the family. His knowledge of his uncle’s account and conversation with his mother contribute to the overall completeness of the story that would have been missing otherwise.

In the first few pages of the story,there was a lot of foreshadowing for what was to come, predominantly using Miss Strangeworth’s famous roses and the frequent use of Pleasant Street. On the very first page of the story there was a long description of

The passage has folly that is weird, but really shows how close family members are. “All of the brothers - Jim, Jon, Tom, Gregg, Brian, and Jeff - spilled out of the puke wagon and fell in the grass, gagging, yelling, and laughing until we couldn't laugh anymore.” This is foolish because normally people would be disgusted but they were giggling and enjoying this event, which really shows how close brothers are to each other. “Gregg upchucked on Tom.” This is also considered foolish because if this was happening you would just

There is a lot of vocabulary words that confounded me, for example, tranquility, op-ed, lament, perennial, mundane, indignation, and viable. What I myself gained after reading the critique stemmed from Charles Krauthammer’s “The Moon We Left Behind”, just how he strived towards comparing space travel programs to the importance of spending the countries valuable tax dollars on social, educational, and crime. The key concept that I for one, can explain if I had an 8-year-old sister/brother stands in place as in life, sometimes your opinions are not always accurate and it will be up to you to show evidence. In addition, the economy today will try to knock you down, but it’s important to stay true to your values and do your best at improving your

When people visit museums and examine the art of painters, they are able to understand that there is a story or theme behind the painting. Humans have the ability to know the symbolism behind the strokes of paint. They can comprehend the emotional turmoil of Van Gogh while he was painting, or see Salvador Dali’s imagination through his work. Music has the same ability to establish a story or theme. There are countless albums that achieve this. One of which is The Dark Side Of The Moon. Pink Floyds album criticizes the people who place values on worldly objects such as money, wars, and time, as well as trying to show listeners that mental illnesses should be taken seriously and not just cut out parts of their brain immediately.

The text is structured with a suspense curve; there is an introduction, a rising action when the doctor operates, a climax when the baby is born and the Indian man is found dead, and then the action fades and Nick and the father return to where they came from.
