On Thursday, October 1st, I went to a Deaf Night Out event on UNCG’s campus. The event was held in the school of education and was a mix between a social and a presentation. Luke’s roommate and a few other students shared their experiences from studying abroad in Italy to learn Italian sign language. When I first arrived at the event I did not see anyone I knew. I very much felt like an outsider who was imposing. Then I found Luke and felt a little more comfortable. Everyone there knew each…

I owe her a debt of gratitude. As a young adult, I traveled to New York armed with my Caribbean Flava. Later on, I relocated to Los Angeles, where I was exposed to Creole/Cajun cooking, I found some similarities in the method and preparation of both cuisines. After careful research and consideration, I created the CARIBBEAN / CREOLE CUISINE CONCEPT, which represents one cuisine I inherited and the other, I embraced. To be clear, this does not mean that I merged both cuisines to create…

alterations for African Americans and whites. This act created two cars one set for “colored,” and the other designed for whites only, if a white were to sit in a colored only cart they would be escorted from the cart and vice versa. In 1891, a group of Creoles’ (a mix of European and Black…

Adele and Edna: Two Forms of Divinities In literature, authors occasionally resort to reader's faith in supernatural knowledge to convey controversial themes that cannot be explicitly expressed in storylines. Women independence and gender consciousness, for instance, were such notions that the patriarchal society disapproved in the late nineteenth-century. In order to reveal the restrictive nature behind ostensibly perfect social order, Kate Chopin constructs two forms of divinities in The…

The domination of Spain and Portugal in the New World was at the threshold of the 19th century twisted by a massive wave of national liberation struggle. The Spanish colonial empire, which existed for nearly three centuries included a vast territory. Prior to this time in Latin America were only two advanced empires - the Incas and Aztecs, who did not communicating together. There did not work, or exchange of capital or exchange of goods. Both empires eventually became the victims of unusually…

Walker suggests that the reason for such an easy and outgoing personality is because of catholicism (Walker 252). The Creole culture is more free than that of Edna. Edna does not want to live the way she was raised.

takes off his boots, like she is also a slave. Towards the end, Rochester ends up making love with Amelie, a slave woman, which would be humiliating for a Creole girl like Antoinette. Second, Rochester later comments, "This country's still so strange... Sometimes I feel as though I may lose myself in it"; he does not wish to conform to the Creole lifestyle and it almost seems like he fears it. He also tells Christophine, "Do you think I wanted this? I give my eyes never to have seen her or this…

Adele, Edna and Madame Reisz are friends and characters who are very different in the way they live life and in the way they treat their husbands, and even marriage. Adele Ratignolle, “the perfect…
