The Story Of The Stone

Culture is defined as a whole basis of knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, and customs that define a person or group of persons. Culture differs is so many ways and that culture is what defines each of person as an individual. This concept comes from the cultural that was taught and developed from after birth and through our adolescent years. Our culture is the foundation of who we are. It identifies the lifestyle and pursuits that are practiced in the group of people we interact with in our society. Culture beliefs, values, and practices are learned from birth.

Culture is the way a person/group acts, thinks, and believes because of their background and upbringing. You are not born with culture, you learn it. Culture is everything tangible and seen and the reasons behind the seen part of the culture.

The culture throughout Ashes of Roses consists of; Irish culture, the American culture, the Jewish culture, and the immigration culture.

A culture is the body of ideas, ways of looking at the world, values, and standards for conduct and behavior that a given people or nation hold in common. It includes the range of meanings that people assign to their own perceptions and behavior, as well as to the natural world around them.

Patriarchal structure remains prevalent today with the concepts of “white knighting,” fathers walking their daughters down the aisle to be given away to another man in a wedding, a father’s approval for a daughter’s partner, and many other cases. In Miguel de Cervantes’s Don Quixote, Don Quixote works to save various damsels in distress as his patriarchal white knight position and is always working to please Dulcinea through his efforts of gallantry. In the case of the Captive, the Captive ultimately tried eloping with Lela Zoraida. The Captive’s secret relationship with Lela Zoraida was only able to occur because the affairs were conducted below Lela Zoraida’s father’s radar, therefore, he was not aware of these proceedings.

Don Quixote is not only a novel about how Don Quixote perceives the world but also how other

In the story Pierre Menard presents two options how he could write his Quixote. The first option is that he, Pierre Menard, will become Cervantes, in that way that he will learn to speak 17th century Spanish, he will learn the history and examine the circumstances that were surrounding Cervantes while he was writing his Quixote. Of course, this option is denied as impossible (ironically, Borges says it too easy.)
