Rama

reason Rama doubts his wife’s fidelity and subjects her to a trial by fire is because Rama and Sita were surrounded by a large crowd and therefore subject to the culture’s biases and pressure. This means that people of that time may have collectively held a bias towards women as detrimental to society through their possession of negative traits. This alludes to the possible viewed role of women as generally impressionable and evil members of society. First I will demonstrate it is true that Rama…

As I have grown to be the young women that I am today, many events have taken place throughout my life. Such as the Freedom Festival, and the Fish-o-Ramas, I have learned through multiple areas what I would like to be when I grow older and I couldn’t be more proud of it. The Freedom Festival and the Fish-O-Rama I have been to both multiple times in my life. The Freedom Festival lasts about 2 weeks ending with Fourth of July fireworks in downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa. During these two weeks…

they go about their life completing their own tasks their own way. Although that statement is right the more formal definition of tradition is “a continuing pattern of culture beliefs or practices.” In the short story “By Any Other Name” by Santha Rama Rau, and other similar short stories, she explains how tradition and ethnicity are important in culture.

really stood out was when I went to the Buck-O-Rama with three of my friends, and we had so much fun! I was so excited to get to sleep the night before, because when I woke up I could meet my friends at the total and start our way to the Buck-O-Rama. When we got there we checked into our hotel, me, Kyra, Abigail, and Perri got to have a room all by our selves. We put the stuff in our room, and headed back to the car so we could go to the Buck-O-Rama. When we got there we found a rock…

the formation of who you are. It comes in different sizes, ethnicities, and religion. There is no limit to what culture can make in you or the others around you. There was a short text in our SpringBoard books called “By Any Other Name” by Santha Rama Rau. It’s about two little Indian children who go to a public educational system for the first time, and on their first day, the headmistress gave Santha and Premila different names; Cynthia and Pamela (35).…

tale of a hero shows the attitude of a society towards adversity, how problems should be dealt with, and what kind of rewards they should strive to earn, whether it is knowledge, riches, love, or power. Beowulf, Gilgamesh, Orpheus, Achilles, Aeneas, Rama, and Genji are all footprints of their respective societal legacies who follow their own hero’s journey through the path that their respective society follows as a whole. As these heroes are a representation…

“inferior” or not as well off or as good as them. The ideas of people differs from others. Culture always affects the way people view the world. These authors and artist, Santha Rama Rau, Pat Mora, and finally the artist Frida Kahlo show how this is in different stories and paintings of theirs. “By Any Other Name”, by Santha Rama Rau, tells a story of how a culture is taken over by another, and is forced to change. The story talks about two young Indian girls who are sent to an Anglo-Indian…

Currimbhoy does not limit himself to characters drawn from the rural society. His characters are also drawn from an urban, sophisticated milieu as in Shanta Rama Rau’s A Passage to India and Nissim Ezekiel’s Nalini and Marriage Poem. The major characters in Inquilab, The Refugee, Sonar Bangla, Thorns on a canvas, The Hungry Ones and The Dumb Dancer are professors, University students, top executives and professionals…

Every person was born into the culture of their parents and the people around them. As they grow up, they make choices and identify with certain cultural norms. These selections alter culture of an individual. As a result, each and every person views the world in a unique way. One's view on the world is almost entirely based on one's cultural identity. This means that different people may see the same challenges or experiences in various ways, positive or negative. This cultural diversity is…
