    The reading The Other Family addresses an important problem in Canadian society. There is a hegemonic culture in Canada that causes immigrants to fear that they will lose their own customs and traditions. In the reading the little girl drew a picture of a family that was not representative of her own but that was what she knew to be a “Canadian family”. The reaction of her mother is indicative of the fact that this is a concern for their family and their heritage.

    In Anne Bradstreet’s poem “Verses on the Burning of our House,” the speaker discusses her attempt to reconcile the loss of her earthly possessions with religious tenets and, in doing so, highlights the struggle of Puritans to maintain the religious ideal of valuing only spiritual worth, as depicted through the concept of weaned affections. Frequently in her poem, Bradstreet emphasizes the dichotomy between her emotions as she experiences the transpiring events and what she wants to feel through her employment of various literary tools. Her personification of her heart as she depicts “to my God my heart did cry / To straighten me in my Distress / And not to leave me succourless” (Bradstreet 8-10) emphasizes the strength of the speaker’s emotional…

    Marie-Joseph Angélique was a slave in the 1700s in the settlement of Montréal in New France. She was born in Madeira, Portugal and sold to work as a slave in New France at age 20.

    The Virgin Suicide

    • 1059 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The Virgin Suicides, written by Jeffrey Eugenides, tells the story of five mysterious suicides of the Lisbon sisters. The narrators, a group of boys from the neighborhood and school of the Lisbon sisters later chastise the girls for being selfish in their eyes, inviting them over for a getaway ride (and hopefully for the boys, debauchery) but distracting them long enough that the sisters could kill themselves, which speaks of selfishness itself. Additionally, Eugenides greatly mirrors the outward façade of the house with the inner emotions and attitudes of the Lisbon family. There is also an underlying theme of happiness—or lack there of, and how it effects the Lisbon’s after their tragedy, as well as the absurdity of acting blissfully happy…
