...is called to attention and held up to its accusations by a novel ripping at the seams with exploration of the complicated and ambiguous relationship between literary works and indigenous activism. This novel- Whisper in Shadows- is set within these boundaries of indigenous activism in the Americas. As a Native American artist and activist, Penny, an Okanagan woman, is enticed from an early age with a fascination of art; and spends most of her time with Tulpa, her grandmother.

...gave up his own personal relationships and resorted to living in his van which he called La Bamba in order invest as much money as he could into his project. Mortenson translated the importance of perseverance by addressing the many times he failed but advanced. This includes but is not limited to when he first returned to Korphe but discovered that he needs to build a bridge in order to transport the materials for constructing his first school. He recognized the fact that he didn't have enough rupees to construct the bridge. After the financial setback of an extra flight, and a segment of depression, Mortenson was awakened by a phone call from one of his fellow mountain climbers. He then resumed to contact individuals, expand his finances, and eventually returned to Korphe and constructed his first school. His perseverance also shines through when he comes into conflict with a man who he was certain he could trust. Mortenson was proven wrong when his materials vanished. Nonetheless, he was able to expeditiously recover by salvaging what was left and raising more money immediately. An important fact Mortenson desperately tried to translate to the readers is that anyone can make a difference if that person tries and doesn't stop until he or she has reached success. “Children had taken the first step toward building the school,” Mortenson says. “And they did it with something that's basically worthless in our society---pennies. But overseas, pennies can move mountains...

...(a) Pride and Prejudice Critically analyse the following passage from Pride and Prejudice, giving detailed consideration to what the passage shows of the thematic concerns and narrative methods of the novel (for example, what themes are dealt with here? What use is made of narrative point of view? How is characterisation achieved?). Pride and prejudice was written by Jane Austen and published in 1813. This passage of the story was written in third person narration perspective that displays thematic concerns and narrative methods throughout the novel to make the readers relate to the story or understand the relations and differences between the 19th century society and the modern society. The themes in this passage are pride, prejudice, family, marriage, class and society, wealth, love, women and femininity, and language and communication. The narrative methods of this passage are narration and point of view (third person narration e.g. focalisation and indirect speech), selection and arrangement of events, characterisation, description, dialogue, exposition and the development of themes. Written in third person, this passage from the “pride and Prejudice” novel is written and told by an omniscient narrator (Jane Austin) who used her heroine and hero character (Elizabeth) as a focalizer through her actions and feelings towards herself, others and what is happening around her.

...sports create a community where intellectual ideas could be exchanged. Rival texts and theories in academia are described similarly to team sports with their own “fans”, where it creates an environment where one would enjoy debating with others. This is contrasted with the conventional school culture, where students are isolated from each other due to placing individual competition between students rather than ideas. As Graff puts it, “In this competition, points were scored not by making arguments, but by a show of information or vast reading, by grade-grubbing, or other forms of oneupmanship”. It’s a toxic portrayal, conjuring images of unhealthy competition where students are obsessed with getting the best numbers and grades rather than personal and intellectual growth. This pathos tactic puts sports in a better light to the readers. Expressing that sports is more intellectual than school is a very strange argument in the light of stereotypes, but it works through how the atmosphere of each culture is...

...The Blue Sweater: Bridging the gap between rich and poor in an interconnected world By Jacqueline Novogratz Published by Harper Collins Pages: 314, $14 Jacqueline Novogratz is an American woman with a dream to ‘change the world’. In this book she engagingly narrates the story of her life from the time she began working in Africa to the success of the Acumen fund, a charity that she established. (Novogratz, 2011, Pg 298) ‘Solutions to poverty must be driven by discipline, accountability, and market strength, not easy sentimentality - many of the answers to poverty lie in the space between the market and charity’. In a world where (Koga,2013) charity means giving money away to the poor, Novogratz addresses the reason many of the traditional charities have been unable to completely eliminate poverty. Her idea is to bring about a more sustainable change by using what Novogratz(2011) calls ‘Patient capital’. (Anderson, 2011)This concept was later chosen by Forbes as one of the most powerful ideas of the year 2011. (Novogratz, 2011) In the first few days of her arrival in Africa, Novogratz is plagued by resistance both to her American-ness and the changes that she suggests. After numerous struggles, her tremendous resilience finally gains her acceptance in a microfinance start-up, Duterimbere. In the fledgling organization a lot is learned through trial and error and her passion for work shines through, even during the many challenges thrown at her. Here, for the first...

...An example of an autobiographical essay/personal narrative [Written by a student in the Labour Studies program, used with permission] My name is Carlo, and I was born in June, 1958, in Italy. Our family, made up of my mother, father, and a brother, emigrated to Noranda, Quebec, when I was five years old. I encountered my first, but not last, taste of racism when kids in the neighbourhood laughed at my poor command of English. As fast as I could I learned not only English, but French as well. I became trilingual, speaking fluent French and English, as well as Italian. In the process, I made new friends from a lot of different cultural backgrounds. We then moved to Toronto, Ontario, where my Dad got work in a rubber factory. From my earliest days, I knew our family had to struggle for every penny. My Mom baked pizza which my brother sold by the slice, door to door. I caddied at the local golf courses and brought home all the money that I made. I hated it when other kids made fun of working people, like garbage collectors, who cleaned up trash for a living. When I was in grade six, I was ill in hospital for two months with a kidney infection, and it changed my whole life. I seriously took up playing guitar. I began to do photography, and joined the audiovisual club. I discovered I was artistic with an interest in graphic art, although I didn’t always agree with the kind of art assignments the teacher gave us. However, I had no idea what to do after high school graduation...

...be a housewife whose place is the private sphere, or who will be the angel in the home, while a boy must prepare himself to the public sphere, to be the bread winner of the family. This leads us to the claim that children's stories are not ideologically free. Publishers and writers are more concerned with presenting modules of boyhood because the future of the countries will be established on those boys. Examples of these modules can be found in Robert Stevenson's Treasure Island (1881) and Louisa May Alcott's Little Women (1868). During the 19th century, the penny stories were common which presented cheap stories full of violence, and which honoured or glorified criminals, as Joseph Bristow illustrated (135). This will jeopardize the future of the country, therefore, intellectuals began to think that boys have "to read the right things, to turn his mind away from the debasing effects of penny fiction, but he had also to meet the demands of becoming responsible citizens" (Bristow, 2009, p.135). In Britain, the readership children public consisted of both the lower class and the middle class boys. The authorities are worried from those who came from lower class as to be future rebels due to their ignorance and violence, so, respectable writers have to train British the boy to be "aggrandized subject – British born and bred - with the future of the world lying upon his shoulders" ( Bristow,2009,p.135). Britain has a sense of superiority because it has been the 'Empire...

...CHAPTER SIX: STRUCTURE The learning goal of this chapter is to teach students how to shape their messages and arguments into appropriate structures. Since the chapter is long and contains, in effect, three mini-cases -- on Great Lakes, RAs, and Narrative -- you may choose to teach the chapter in one class and the case in the next. One way to structure a class on this chapter is to emphasize the commonalities among logical, psychological, and narrative structures. Beginning, Middle, and End Both an argument (given, since, therefore) and a communication structure (introduction, body, conclusion) share the same features, that is, they have a beginning, a middle, and an end. We discuss these features in further detail in the Guides to Effective Writing and Speaking in Part Three. Here, we simply encourage the instructor to pull together some organizational principles. Some suggestions for focusing student discussion: When defining your content, marshalling your arguments, and developing your structure, try to meet the following criteria: Beginnings should: 1. Gain the audience's attention and focus it on your topic. 2. Explain why the topic is important, timely, or otherwise of interest. 3. Indicate the point of view you will take or suggest your conclusion. 4. Establish a relationship of mutual respect with your audience. Middles should: 1. Develop your main argument by identifying and addressing its component parts. 2. Address subtopics according...

...to remake contemporary family life as the post-modern family, such a definition carries with it overtones from the definition of postmodern art and literature. In these fields the term post-modern signals the end of a familiar pattern of activity and emergence of new areas of endeavour whose activities are unclear and whose meanings and implications are not yet well understood. Thus, the post-modern is characterized by uncertainty, insecurity, and doubt (Stacey 1990). Full consensus on the definition of the emerging post-modern family structure has not been reached, despite recognition of the need for better understanding of the variety of human families in the post-modern period and insight into how large-scale social patterns affect personal and domestic relationships (Hossfeld 1991). The post-modern world is shaped by pluralism, democracy, religious freedom, consumerism, mobility, and increasing access to news and entertainment. Residents of this post-modern world are able to see that there are...

It visualizes the negation of female gender in art. The paper investigates the dichotomy of language, the use of irony and situational metaphors to displace conventional ones; it blends theories with critical evaluation of discourse. The research uses empirical methods in solving hypothetical questions with the use of extensive and relatively unstructured interviews. It examines the interviews of twenty five people independently, these people include: University lecturers, students, administrative and technical staff. The work analyzes concurrently their interview testimonies to search for congruence. Data analysis begins with a detailed microanalysis in which emergent concepts...
