The pair of Japanese officers who interview Pi at the conclusion of Life of Pi represent society as a whole. After the recounting of Pi’s story, Mr. Okamoto and Mr. Chiba make their opinion clear. They do not believe the story with animals to be authentic and that “He[Pi] thinks we’re[they’re] fools.” Life of Pi contains a vast amount of extraordinary events, such as the botanically impossible island, as well as the very fact that there is a tiger aboard Pi’s lifeboat, so understandably, the…

The British colony Virginia (Jamestown) was established in 1607 and 22 years later the Massachusetts Bay was established. There are many events and factors in history that helped in the founding and in the development of the colonies of Virginia (also known as Royal Colony), and Massachusetts Bay (also known as Charter Colony). They were both British Colonies, but the reasons they came were for different. Between these colonies there are many similarities and differences in the founding and…

Without his fiery attitude, bravado, and enchanting tongue, America as we know it, would still have been under a tyrannical British damnation. In 1775, at the Virginia Convention, Patrick Henry, an American colonist attorney, gives a strong passion driven speech to 120 delegates to motivate the colonists into finding the key that would free them from the caustic chains that the British so heartlessly attached to their ankles. In Patrick Henry's argument, he uses forced teams to try and persuade…

The scene changes to Cleopatra’s infiltration of Julius Caesar’s camp. With the help of Apollodorus, Cleopatra was carried into camp rolled inside of a rug. After appearing from the carpet, Cleopatra had a difficult time in trying to persuade Caesar to protect Egypt and help her reclaim her throne. Frustrated with Caesar’s negative response, Cleopatra turned to Apollodorus to seek guidance. Apollodorus only spoke one word “India” (0:12). In this scene, Apollodorus does not tell Cleopatra what…

paramountcy is seen through the website Boundless U.S. History, where, in an analysis of the reasons Common Sense was so impactful, proposed the following, “The reason involves the way the vast majority of people felt about the idea of independence from British rule. Except for a few radical thinkers, the people of the colonies were undecided about freedom. Individuals were in conflict with themselves and there were some who leaned toward reconciliation with the king”…

Americans as revolt after revolt pops up in their colonies. The Greeks finally rebelled against their rulers, The Ottoman Empire, by establishing the country of Greece and Epirus. Half of India is either being controlled by puppets of the British government or they are British…

It can be argued that traces of these colonial systems have had a significant impact on current events. The British Empire began to take control of Egypt following the two empires preceding it, the Ottoman, and the French. Both empires had an impact on Egypt, and paved the way for British colonial rule. In the novel, Colonising Egypt (1991), Timothy Mitchell covers the introduction of British colonialist disciplinary mechanisms to Egypt in the 19th century. He states that "the colonial process…

Due to the Confederation government’s inability to collect taxes from the states, one of the most effective ways for states to pay their debts was to give up their western land holdings to the national government. Therefore, North Carolina, in 1783, gave up their western lands that are now known as East Tennessee. Settlers flooded this area as a new chance. When the land was finally ceded to the national government, the settlers and speculators kept their private property rights in the region.…

After the end of Reconstruction in 1876, many Americans experienced a resurgence of expansionist ideology and imperialism. As a newly united country, many advocated the growth of the American “Empire” and acquisition of new territories in places like Latin America, the Caribbean, and the Pacific Islands, arguing that it would help to further unite the people of the country, provide the chance to civilise or “Christianize” other nations, and spread democracy. However, many opposed these…

Are the arguments posited by Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine effective? Of course they are, did they not persuade their people to fight against Britain, for their rights. Patrick Henry spoke about a war that had not yet begun, he spoke of it with urgency, as if there was no time to question it. He decided that he needed to get people involved in his speech, he needed people to think about what he was saying, to choose between the good and the bad. Thomas Paine did the same thing, he used emotion…
