My paper’s topic will be focused on the historical context of China and its maritime disputes in the South and East China Sea, particularly with the ongoing dispute between the Spratly, Paracel Islands in the South China Sea and Diaoyo/Senkaku Island in the East China Sea. Currently, there are six countries that lay overlapping claims to these islands, an area that is rich in natural resources and worth trillions of dollars of global trade flow.

The Old Man and the Sea quite possibly the most boring book I have read in my life. Not to say that it is necessarily “bad”, with all the possible interpretations, which bring about the book’s own sense of mystery, and actually decent characterization, perhaps it is worthwhile.

Sandra Benítez's novel, A Place Where the Sea Remembers, incorporates many different themes throughout the story. One theme that has been able to connect every little detail would be the sense of community. Since the novel is placed in Santiago, Mexico, a small and very closely grouped community, the theme of community only makes sense. The novel in a whole shows growth between the people of Santiago and at the center of this growth is Remedios, la curandera, which translates to healer. As an…

women’ rather than just a mad woman. She uses the three factors to give the story meaning.
