    In The Disappearing Mestizo, the central question that Joanne Rappaport proposes is "when and how is someone a mestizo" (p, 4). In this analysis, I will explain about how she examines mestizaje as a negotiable category that is constructed based on the relations between class, social networking, and permeability of the gender.

    MR James’s “The Mezzotint” is set at an English university with its “homely and familiar” (2011, p. 24) libraries, museums and common rooms. This contrasts the stereotypical gothic settings which Dani Cavallaro presents: ruined castles and abbeys, murky crypts and fungoid dungeons, clammy cellars, dank passages and stairwells echoing with howls, groans and tapping fingers, dripping charnel houses and ivy-clad monasteries, secret cabinets, storms, bleak forests and treacherous marshes. (2011, p. 21) However, James claims that “the more ordinary and normal both setting and actors are, the more effective will be the entangling of them in a dreadful situation” (Moshenska, 2012, p.1195). According to Briggs, James also believed that a fairly familiar…

Both were used to assess the characteristics of the data, check for violations of assumptions underlying the statistical techniques, as well as address research specific data requirements (Pallant, 2013).
