Colour It In

so it is no surprise that we are amused by tales of robust endurance against the most severe circumstances. The stories The Inheritor and Side Bet are two prime examples of our fascination with these types of tales, but, when comparing the two stories of survival, one reigns as superior, with more vivid details of the setting, greater and more dynamic characters, and a more compelling plot. Between the two stories The Inheritor by Frank Roberts, and Side Bet by Will F. Jenkins, Side Bet prevails as the better survival story, supported by a myriad of powerful elements. Though sometimes unnoticed, the setting of a story is a keystone aspect in all narratives, especially in this case; it sketches out the story, while the plot and characters colour it in. In the story Side Bet, the author provides extremely vivid details, through the use of animated and eloquent words, which is important in a survival story, as the environment is almost always the root cause of all the problems. One especially detailed paragraph, the opening passage of Side Bet, is a brilliant example of this: “There was a vast blue bowl which was the sky. Across it, with agonizing slowness, there marched a brazen sun which poured down light to dazzle and burn out the man’s eyes, and heat to broil the brains in his skull. At intervals the blue bowl grew dark and was dotted with stars, which ranged themselves in pairs like the eyes of a snake- unwinking and cold and maliciously amused- and watched through the…

far was racism a dominant feature of British Society from 1958-79? The colour bar of the 1950s showed that racism was still a dominant part of society. The Colour Bar was a form of direct racism where unions, employers and the government all took part in refusing minority races services and employment. For example, during the 1950s, unions and management in business such as Ford enforced a quota system where 95% of jobs had to go to white people. This suggested a dominant racist society as many…

It addresses the subconscious influence of the media in shaping us to be racist, and indoctrinating victims of racism with the belief that whiteness is the paragon of beauty. Toni Morrison’s ‘The Bluest Eye’ and Alice Walker’s ‘The Colour Purple’ reveal…

Purple is known to be the hue which is between crimson and violet. We have heard people associating it with royalty, power and wealth for centuries. ‘Queen Elizabeth I forbade commoners, except only a few close relatives of the royal family, to wear the colour’. So why is this elite and sophisticated status given to this colour? The reason is actually associated with the limited availability of the colour. This rarity, lead to the colour being outrageously expensive, so much so that only the…
