My mother used to say that her brother and uncle Suman were really close. It was before Dashain when my mother told me that he ran away from his house. When I went to Nuwakot like every year for Dashain, uncle Suman was not there as he had run away. His father had gone to look for him when I arrived there. We later got to find that he went to work as a bus driver’s assistant that transported people from the valley to Nuwakot and Nuwakot to the valley. He was only seventeen.

    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. This shows the overarching issue about the education system not being inclusive of all cultures as they should be in a multicultural country.…

    Michael Ondaatje’s semi-autobiographical account, entitled Running in the Family, describes Ondaatje’s journey back to the beginning, to Ceylon where he was born into a privileged family, a mixed group of Sinhalese, Dutch, and Tamil origin. The story of his family is a journey through memory and imagination as he attempts to piece together the adventurous and carefree life his immediate family once led – more importantly, the life his father once lived. Although Running in the Family is primarily a work of non-fiction, blending history, fact, anecdote and opinion, Ondaatje incorporates elements of imagination to fill in the gaps of stories where details are unknown or contract greatly. Although Michael Ondaatje travelled to Ceylon with the…

He encouraged blacks to look beyond their role as a slave. He asked them to open their eyes to how they can “put brains and skills to the common occupation of life.”…

    For Douglass, he believed there were many different routes that one could take to reach freedom and liberty. At first he thought that all that needed to be done was move to the city. “A city slave is almost a freeman compared with a slave on a plantation. He is better fed and clothes, and enjoys privileges altogether unknown to a slave on a plantation. There is a vestige of decency, a sense of shame that does much to curb and check those outbreaks of atrocious cruelty enacted on the plantation.”(30)…

    Throughout the Republic, the wars, the politics, the economics and the social hierarchy significantly influenced the power and the wealth of a patrician Roman family. For instance, my family is constituted of me, my husband and my four children, three sons and one daughter. Just as in every marriage in manus, my husband has the full control over me and since he is the pater of my children, he has the full control over them. In fact, my husband has the absolute rule over the household, me and the children, boys and girls.
