In exploring such a poignant topic as exile, one must first examine the group of people most likely to be subjected to exile. Often, this group tends to be the socially observed “other.” What an other is can change drastically depending on who is defining it, and to whom they’re assigning the term. As we’ve seen in both Book of Salt by Monique Truong, and Exile According to Julia by Gisele Pineau, the characters Bihn and Man Ya represent comparable, but fundamentally different ideas of the other…

The first girl grounded out and then their power hitter was up. I knew her from school, she was in my class and would always brag about how she went to a fancy hitting coach. Apparently all the money her slightly psychotic mother payed was well invested because she hit a rocket. The other team’s fans went crazy, louder than ours were the whole night. She hit a triple and then the next girl up hit a lousy ground ball and my second baseman threw it to first to get her out but it was…

He built and staffed schools, constructed a hospital that offered assistance to the sick, both physically and mentally, and while also providing free food, and he also created the impenetrable citadel to provide ultimate security for the city. 10.) (Uniting opposing forces)…

The first round of auditions required us to read a memorized monologue. I instantly picked a monologue for the lead, of course, and David originally picked a monologue for a different character. To be curt, I was overjoyed. He is widely considered across our company to be the best male actor, and moreover the best actor in general. I knew if he committed to the role, he would get it. This felt like my chance to get what I wanted. To this end, my ego began to inflate ever so slightly. At first,…

where it no longer seems important.” She carried onto say, “There is a world inside books which you can enter and explore, where you can focus on something other than your own problems.” Biblotherapy is an old concept of library science, which was first officially documented in the 1930’s. Earlier evidence showed the Ancient Greeks maintaining the psychological and spiritual importance of literature as they felt it was a “healing place for the soul.” Biblotherapy was at the peak of its…

There are always many disputes after the breakdown of marriage between the two parties, such as custody and spousal support. The issue of spousal support often generates significant controversy and discussion. The new Divorce Act, which was enacted in 1985 and still remain effective today, is the federal Act that governs divorce including the order of spousal support in Canada (Boyd, 2015). This essay will discuss how the courts views the issue of spousal support in Lee v Lee (2014), a family…

difference between reality and the story and each worked hard to depict what life was really like.. Flaherty is known as the father of the documentary film who has had a profound influence on our society and how films were made and viewed.

(Brittanica) He wanted to make a film that was in collaboration with the people of…

Even now, Shakespeare is quoted, all the “live long day”(Julius Caesar). In books, television shows and movies, you can find Shakespeare’s words and influence. He introduced more than 3,000 words to the English language. Without even realizing it, our everyday speech is full of words and phrases used in his plays and poems. In “one fell swoop”(Macbeth) or thirty-seven plays and one hundred and fifty four sonnets, Shakespeare changed the way the English word was written and spoken, and those…

views are constantly shaped in a way the composers want it to be shaped. To put this more into perspective, we only need to look as far as the texts that I have been analysing in school of late – William Shakespeare’s dramatic play, ‘King Henry IV, Part 1’ and the RSC’s play within a play production. In the play’s very first scene, the audience are introduced to King Henry speaking about how his son, the next in line, is “riot[ous] and dishonor[able]”. Particularly, in comparison to his…

Canada is supposed to be a country built on the idea of sovereignty, peacefulness and acceptance, but when it comes down to the way we as a country treat the First Nations Peoples, we are far from any of those things. The argument on how the Natives helped build Canada throughout history is also a large part of where the hatred and ignorance towards Indigenous Peoples come from. Some believe that the Natives…
