is because of reasons like this. He just wants to make the money and get back to Pakistan. People do not respect him in America the same way they did in Pakistan. ““Why did you call the cabby 'uncle'?“ […] by calling him “cabby,“ she's somehow associating him with the seedy muck of New York City“ (p. 4: ll. 35 + 38-39). He is offended, a lot and again America is pictured racistic. Maybe it is not meant to be mean, but still gets understood that way. We have sympathy with Nadeem because it seems like

Likewise stealing would be a sin because I don't have rights over another person's property nor would I like anybody else to take what is mine.

life story began at a military hospital, in a garrison city of Pakistan. I was the first child of my parents and had the most wonderful time, from my birth to childhood, anyone could ever have had. According to my aunty I was the most pretty and cute baby she’d ever seen. I had very fair skin, pink, rosy cheeks, red lips and black curly hair. However, I was also the clingiest baby as I kept on crying throughout the nights. I was the first child in my village who had their birthdays celebrated. My

As the theorist Michel Foucault examines history to explore the layers of structure of power, I find the history of wedding tradition to be fascinating. “He uses history to dispel the sort of routine, instituted self-assurance people have about reality of such entities as the mental disorders they fear they may be suffering from, or the inner sexual needs they believe they have to release. Foucault has examined various kinds of systems of thought through which people have come to identify themselves

The first article I chose to examine was the “In the Weeds” article by Amelia Thomson-Deveaux. The primary issue at hand in this article was the legalization of marijuana here in America. Washington and Colorado recently became the first two states to legalize the recreational use and sale of marijuana.
