It is hard to adjust to another country where the culture is vastly different and diverse. This was not a big problem for me since I was young and adapted to the environment fairly quickly. But for my parents and grandmother it was a whole different story.…

    The Storm That Swept Mexico Analysis

    Review of “The Storm That Swept Mexico” The review of the documentary “The Storm That Swept Mexico” will cover two points in this review. The first point of my review will be how this documentary demonstrated how individualistic and collectivistic culture's interaction can lead to events such as a revolution. Secondly, I will attempt to answer the question of what was the effect of revolution on Mexico and its peoples. Individualistic and collectivist cultures in “The Storm That Swept Mexico” demonstrate how views can be used to gain an advantage if one does not have the scruples to morally guide them.…

    Flowers For Algernon Comparative Analysis

    Through the Window Pane A multitude of overlapping themes and stylistic choices meld together in Frankenstein and Flowers for Algernon, two novels which, though written over a century apart, are notably similar. Characterised by the use of epistolary storytelling techniques, the window is a recurring symbol which is structured following a period of nine months. This parodies of a human’s gesticulation period and mocks man’s attempts to play God by ending both novels in the season of Fall. In Frankenstein, letters from Robert Walton elucidate the tale of Victor Frankenstein and his creation.…

    Judge's Wife

    “The Judge’s Wife” is set in a rustic Latin-American town that’s just large enough to have a town square, but small enough so that none of the town’s inhabitants are ignorant to the drama this story entails. Allende gives no explicit details about the town besides the fact that there is a courthouse, a bank, and a corner shop owned by a Turkish woman. Instead, she uses her adept skill of imagery to paint a picture of this town, a place that modern time has seemingly passed by. Modern time, that is, for the USA. Small, dusty, square-centered towns in today’s…

    Blossoms On A Moonlit River Analysis

    CHAPTER TWO - CRITICAL ANALYSIS 2.1 Exploration Of Tonality And The Pentatonic Scale Blossoms on a Moonlit River has been written in G major, and this is known from an author’s note written above the stave and the key signature (Fig 2a). It has been written with diatonic numerical notation using the numbers 1 to 7, and the number 0 represents a rest. The piece is tonal centred, and relies on a major pentatonic scale consisting of G, A, B, D and E (Fig 2b) and this is close to the western Mixolydian scale (Fig 2c).

    The Mexican Revolution: The Rise Of Porfirio Diaz

    In the year of 1908, “60,000 to 100,000 Mexicans immigrated to the United States” due to a recession (Davenport 67). They left during the rule of Porfirio Díaz, who ruled Mexico as a dictatorship from 1876 to 1910. Taking control of a failing country, Díaz managed to improve the economy and infrastructure of Mexico, so some see him as a leader who transformed Mexico for the better. However, in order to make these improvements, Díaz had to exploit the lower class of Mexico and rig elections to ignore the two consecutive term limit so he could keep his power.…
