Telephone Conversation by Wole Soyinka criticises the racial attitudes of his society to ironically highlight the unjust treatment of black people. The poem features a telephone conversation between an African traveller looking for accommodation and a white landlady, whom, upon hearing that the traveller is black, refuses to lodge him a room. Soyinka constructs three key concepts which include the supposed superiority of the white population, the ignorance of white people and the format of a real telephone conversation. Racial prejudice should not be present in any society, and Soyinka writes Telephone Conversation to criticise this issue. In Telephone Conversation, Soyinka investigates the hypothetical white superiority through the use of auditory imagery, tone and connotation of phrases, thus, highlighting the racial disparity in society. To start with, he utilises auditory imagery, as demonstrated by: “Voice, when it came, / Lipstick coated, long gold‐rolled / Cigarette‐holder pipped.” This demonstrates the elegance of the landlady. Through the imagery, the audience is invited to perceive the landlady as higher in the social hierarchy than the traveller. However, the grace is immediately juxtaposed by the tone of the landlady when she asks, “‘HOW DARK?’ … ARE YOU LIGHT / OR VERY DARK?’” “‘WHAT’S THAT?’ … ‘DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.’” furthers this. The question is capitalised to show its significance in the poem. It reveals the harsh, untactful and impolite tone of the…

Nuggets. I didn’t grab one, or two, I grabbed about twenty, burning my hands in the process and shoved them into the hands of my boyfriend as I dove in for more. It was with this same class I inhaled about 13 nuggets with the vacuum power of Noo-Noo on speed. My friends were horrified, my hands were burnt but my stomach was full of sweet, sweet nuggets. You would think the tale would stop there, but the worst was yet to come. At about midnight every night a change comes over me, all maturity…

two-hour drive; we were there in no time. I got out of my mom’s van and unloaded Alexus things, and mine leaning them up against the car. It was extremely humid that day, there was absolutely no breeze; thankfully you couldn 't tell the condensation on my forehead was from fear. I had so many emptions going through me at once, but the only thing I was concentrated on was trying super hard not to cry in front of my three younger brothers. They have always looked up to me and I wanted to show them…

Check with your attorney or the courts in your state to determine the specific requirements for written relocation notifications. The last thing a custodial parent wants is to relocate and have to deal with a court battle from the noncustodial parent, simply because they didn’t give proper notice to the parent. If a custodial parent relocates without proper notice, they are essentially kidnapping the child, which will result in legal ramifications. Distance matters. Some states have…
