Arundhati's Narrative Analysis

Improved Essays
The way Arundhati writes is very sophisticated and descriptive. She use a lot of large vocabulary. Some of the words she uses I had to goole to be able to understand what she was trying to say. For example the first sentence in the book she says “May in Ayemenem is a hot, brooding month.” I had no idea what brooding month until I looked it up and found that is meant showing deep unhappiness. Arundhati is also very descriptive in the way she writes. Theres been several paragraphs where they are describing a single person or thing. For example on sentence says “Dissolute bluebottles hum vacuously through the fruity air.” Instead of her just saying that flies were every where she made it sound pretty almost.

When Rachel asks her mom “So why don't you marry him then?” I once was in somewhat of a similar situation. It was about 2 years in 8th grade and one of my friends had a boyfreind who I hated.

She was telling me about it one day and finally I just practical shouted at her “WHY DONT YOU JUST BREAK UP WITH HIM” She got really defense and we ended up getting in a fight and it was not a good situation.

    Even though the two have completely different lifestyles and upbringings, they find each other by conincience. When their paths accidently cross in the forrest they find that the only way they can get out alive is to work together. However one criticism I have of the authors writing style was the ‘happily-ever-after’ cliché ending. Where Hari and Pearl fall in love and have children in there home. This was disappointing and surprising given the authors consistent page turning style throughout the book.…

Outside the system was “untouchables” or outcasts grouped with the slaves. The Sanskrit and other pieces of literature encouraged education and united the Indian people. The tedious and never ending cycle in Hinduism encouraged others to find a different belief.…

    A Brave New World In the novel, A Brave New World, Aldous Huxley displays to us that using science and technology as a weapon of social conformity through the usage of conveying how central control of a government can lead to a euphoric, dystopian society. It becomes clear throughout the book that the World State’s total control of the human action demolishes the scientific advancement that gained it such control. To begin with, one way Aldous Huxley presents us this message is through the usage of Soma. Soma is a medical drug that manipulates human emotions and is aimed at making the citizens feel good.…

    The Ancient Indian Caste System Cultural, social, religious, wealth, and political divisions have been and still are a part of all societies. The difference between the human tendency to categorize into classes and the caste system in ancient India was that the categorization was the sole basis of people’s futures. The caste system was determined based on birth and people rarely had relations with others outside their own caste. Also, each caste, or Varna, had a certain duty to contribute to society. The four castes were called Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras.…
