One part of the book that a handful of the readers will possibly look over is the fact that the people within the villages, and even the whole country, are being acted by cultural arrogance of the west and greed.The western arrogance of Price is clearly shown when he attempts to plant his garden in the village and call for a river baptism. He does not care to look upon the experience of the Africans or the differences in climate. Price forges ahead with his notion of what is ethically and religiously correct to him. Later on, his garden gets washed away by the first large rain and he also does not realize that the people are afraid of getting baptized in the river because they remember the children who have been eaten by alligators in the same river. To completely understand and grasp hold of this part of the book, we must not read with our eyes, but instead with miscellaneous knowledge and

Amari had a white friend and she told Amari about a plan she made to escape. Amari and her friend met behind the kitchen where she served food. The plan was that her friend was going to get a carriage and sneak them in and head back down to where she lived to gather some things and go. The plan worked out good to remind you the friend was white so she could get them out.

To sum up, the narrator in the story is able to fulfill her instinctual desires by becoming a Yellow Woman. She transforms through her dream-like journey into the person she longed to be. It was not until Silva became violent and she sees “something ancient and dark” in his eyes that she begins to snap back into reality. The story reaches out to all of its readers and allows them to relate to the narrator because we all have unfulfilled desires throughout our lives. The sensational descriptions that are given of the landscape as well as her sexual interactions with Silva make the narrator’s thoughts and feelings very easy to understand. In fact many of us who have read the story “Yellow Woman” have a feeling of jealousy that the woman was able to have her adventure and return home and resume her life as normal, without consequence.

On page 33 it says “Her mother was afraid that the men in her tribe would run into Dinka tribesmen,” this mean that they would die if that happened this supports the theme because they could end up dead to.

Political Polarization in America Today it is common to hear politicians and journalists refer to “today’s polarized America” and lament the effects of polarization on American political discourse. But what exactly is this polarization and is it really so destructive?

I would just like to pass through your town.” I smiled at them. All but one villager ran away. This one who stayed was a tall woman who looked very strong as she walked towards me. She looked very confused. “I’m not going to hurt anyone, I’m just on a walk and need to get through the town.” She still looked puzzled. “H-E-L-L-O. D-O Y-O-U S-P-E-A-K- E-N-G-L-I-S-H?” She just kept staring with her eyebrows pulled together. Ugh what is this lady’s problem? “Okay, I’m just gonna go through now, thank you very much.” As I started to get up she jumped back. And then she pulled something out from behind her. She inched closer and closer to my foot and then I felt a sharp pain in my middle toe. That little witch just put a sword through my toe! I roared with pain and went to the tallest building I could find. I burst through the doors looking for something to ease the pain and heard more screams as a dozen people ran outside. Ah! Some water, that’ll be perfect for my foot. I filled a bucket and sat down on the floor with a thud. Very gently I pulled out the sword and then I stuck my foot in the water. I looked around and realized I was in a mead hall, a very big mead hall. The pain from my foot started to make me feel woozy so I decided to take a nap.

These expectations increased when she was in the presence of “great power, [her] mother talking story” (20). In one particular situation, the narrator recalls her mother singing about Fa Mu Lan, the woman warrior. Although her mother expected her daughter to become a wife or a slave, the narrator had a different idea; she would “grow up a woman warrior” (20). As a young girl, she said that she “couldn’t tell where the stories left off and the dreams began” (19). This is the case in “White Tigers.” The narrator’s dream-state takes readers into the mind of a girl who attempts to please her mother and entire family by becoming a woman warrior. This is possibly an attempt to subside much of the harsh ridicule she receives from her mother due to cultural differences. Although this is a key factor in her early childhood, she learns to block out these criticisms as she grows older.

Babakiueria revolves around a role-reversal society in which white people are treated unfairly. Throughout the film commentator, Duranga Manika, strives to explain the Babakiuerians’ way of life, however she fails to apply a willingness to fully understand certain aspects of their life so judgment can be rendered fairly. As the white people are not highly valued in this society it is reflected in the way the government treats them and how Manika describes them.

Or some who guessed that you were African asked if you knew so and so from Kenya or so and so from Zimbabwe because they thought Africa was a country where everyone knew everyone else” (p. 60 l. 16-21). So, when she finally meets a guy who actually is aware of her background and roots, she is impressed. They become a couple and Akunna loves him, but still there are a lot of things she can not get used to and which confuse her. Her relationship to this guy really shows the difference between living in Africa and America. She does simply not understand how he just can take a year of his education to travel, - because an education is a very huge and necessary privilege in Africa, that you just can not take a year of from. Akunna is also very loyal to her parents (frequently she sends them money, even though she does not earn much), so the fact that her boyfriend has a very strange relationship to his parents also confuses her. They also have very different ideas of money, which finds expression in Akunna’s negative reaction of getting presents.
