Rich Like Us

Sati running to nearly twenty pages (119 to 136) sounds more like a scholarly dissertation on a subject of sociological importance rather than an authentic rendering of a personal tragedy. The long quotations from the Bombay courier or the “List of Hindoo Widows immolated” no doubt establish the veracity of the information given about Sati but the episode loses a degree of its impetus and ceases to grip the reader. The novel Rich Like Us, shows that the Sahgal has grown enormously both in her awareness

NayantaraSahgal is one of the distinguished Indo English writers who write in the stream & national consciousness. She is a prolific writer and her literary canon consists of nine novels, two autobiographies and some non- fictional works. In fact, NayantaraSahgal has introduced a considerable number of autobiographical elements in her novels. For a question, she asserts that ‘all art is autobiographical’ (Women’s Space The Mosaic World Of Margaret Drabble AndNayantaraSahgal, 27).Her work ranges from

Adrienne Rich was a highly acclaimed twentieth-century poet who railed against war and the injustices in the world, and also used imagery that spoke tenderly of love—feelings that she sensed were both highly individual for her, but also universal. “Twenty-One Love Poems” were written between 1974-1976 to her lover of the time, and they track the course of the relationship through the sweet beginning stages, the development of mature love, and all the way through to its dissolution due to her partner’s

Modernity (being modern) is something which only the rich can afford. The poor rarely get a chance of being modernized due to a lack of money and other facilities. Since the poor are not 'modern enough' they are subjected to inequality in everyday tasks. This paper will discuss how the poor are treated and the relationship between the words 'modernity, inequality and poverty.' Faiz's poem Kutte is an example of how the poor are treated like dogs and are

In the documents it talked about how the people thought they needed to work together and entertain each other in brotherly affection, but document F talks about how the men with money were forever welcomed. Document A says “We must be knit together in this work as one man” meaning that the people should all work together and help each other as if they were one. It also says some must be rich or poor or high and

The Famished Road fits the description above. Some of the characters (Azaro and his father) feel that the world is very corrupt. The only way to climb up the social ladder is to join the detested Party of the Rich. They cannot have any real impact on the world because they are living in horrible poverty and belong to the Party of the Poor. To compensate for their poverty, they spend most of their time dreaming.

Raising Taxes on the Rich The United Sates debt and deficit is a major problem in our society. One thing I would propose to the President would be to tax the rich. It is useful to keep in mind how the rich and the poor are different. When you are poor, you are willing to trade your time to earn money. When you are rich, you trade your money to get time.

opinion about class warfare. Yes I believe there is class warfare in America, but not only between rich and poor but also between the political class and the rest of the citizen.

For most of us hard working people the greatest obstacle to becoming rich I believe is “the rich”. Many of the richest Americans are seen happy funding a political movement and willing to destroy
