Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel Chapter Analysis

February Settings The chapter opens with the kitchen ("Tita's Realm") as the main setting, but it has a different significance now because there is a direct relationship with the wider society due to "the wedding". The entire novel is set in a time of political instability- The Mexican Revolution. At this time, women began to gain freedom, appreciation and respect from men, allowing them to find a place for themselves. In this chapter, Tita shows initial signs of bringing across immense emotion through her cooking and its products. This is an act of liberation that Mama Elena would not approve of if she knew of the consequences. "White" is constantly repeated throughout this chapter, it shows how the writer makes Tita seem mentally unstable because all she can think about is the wedding, and weddings are mostly all white. She seems mentally unstable because the whiteness of the wedding seems to have blinded Tita because "[Tita] asked if Nacha was going to add the red food color to the icing" when Nacha already did. Character During this overwhelming year of the month, Tita continually thinks of the colour "White" because all she can think about is the marriage between her sister and Pedro (the love of her life) which leads her to become mentally unstable. Mama Elena punishes Tita for "feigning a headache" by conducting and forcing her to make the cake with Chencha

Comparative commentary

Comparative Commentary For most of the people, bears are cute and look somehow friendly. Even though we know, that those animals can be very dangerous, the bears are often underestimated. Not only because we cannot find them in our near environment, and therefore don't know which impact they have, but also because we grow up watching series like Winnie the Poo (1977) or Brother Bear (2003), where bears have the hero and victim roles. Both these texts are based on the relation between the bear and man. The first is a newspaper article, concerned with the bear's extinction. The second text is an extract from a nineteenth-century novel, elevating the status of the bear and forgiving its misdemeanors. The theme of the first text is the survival of the bear. It explains how urgent it is to do something against its possible extinction. The article states the causes of depletion and includes various statistics supporting their arguments. Besides the text is concerned about the bears all over the world and mentions a range of species, including the brown bear and the panda. The second text is more about the invincibility of the bear and its mythic dimensions. It has to do with a conflict which arises when trying to analyze the bear and putting it into the "right" category. The text notes that there can be a mutual respect between a man and a bear but moreover it notes a

English Paper 1 Practice

The Past of Unatoned Sins: Kite Runner By Megg Collins ENG 3UIB For Mr. Thompson October 15, 2007 Collins Page 1 4/26/2008 Khaled Hosseini's allegorical novel, The Kite Runner tells the story of the rise and downfall of the relationship of the main characters, Amir and Hassan, and inadvertently the rise and downfall of Afghanistan. More importantly, is how the main characters are symbolical to important Afghani figures, and how the main themes of this novel are symbolical to Afghani life. The novel, The Kite Runner is an excellent example of an allegory between the powerful story told throughout the pages, and the everyday life of Afghanistan. Firstly, in Khaled Hosseini's novel, the main characters of the novel prove to be highly symbolic to important Afghani figures. Amir the narrator of the story tells his story as a young coward child and his growth into a brave man who is ready to stick up for him and the one he loved most. Amir's defining moment as a child is when he makes the ultimate decision "I had one last chance to make a decision. One final opportunity to decide who I was going to be... In the end, I ran. I ran because I was a coward." (Hosseini 77) This moment marks Amir as a coward. Amir represents the average Pashtun. Too afraid for sticking up for what is right, but then thinking being sympathetic is enough. Assef is another very important character

Commentary on Raschida el-Charni's Life on the Edge

Raschida El-Charni's short story, Life on the Edge, is foremost a powerful and uncompromising attack against a version of patriarchy in which women and children are subjected by men, and which accepts that a husband and father may exercise absolute authority over his wife and children. The author conveys her aversion towards this form of patriarchy through the voice of an unnamed first-person female narrator recounting the events of one particularly traumatic day in the life of her family when she was aged 10. The story witnesses the narrator's dramatic transition from childhood to adulthood and, exposes the rigid gender roles imposed by the patriarchy to be baseless and inhumane. The narrator and her two younger brothers lose some of their father's sheep when they are caught outside in a sudden heavy downpour of rain. Their father "was very attached (16)" to his sheep and "was more saddened by any illness among them than by the death of a relative (16)." He reacts to this loss by giving the children a thrashing with his leather belt, and does not spare their heavily pregnant mother when she tries to protect them. The events of the day reach a climax that night when the mother goes into labour during the night. The narrator implores her fathers help, but is told: "Let her die, her life is cheaper than the sheep she's made me lose (18)." Shocked and saddened, the young

Discuta las ventajas y limitaciones de los datos cuantitativos y los datos cualitativos para sustentar las afirmaciones de conocimiento en las ciencias humanas y en, al menos, otra rea de conocimiento.

Discuta las ventajas y limitaciones de los datos cuantitativos y los datos cualitativos para sustentar las afirmaciones de conocimiento en las ciencias humanas y en, al menos, otra área de conocimiento. Al referirse de las áreas del conocimiento y las afirmaciones que estas nos brindan, existe un interrogativo, ¿Qué tipo de datos son mejores para sustentar las afirmaciones de conocimiento? Las áreas se dividen, en especial las ciencias humanas con las ciencias naturales, según el proceso del área durante un contexto histórico y el progreso dentro de nosotros. Así, que el mejor paso para apoyar las afirmaciones es, por medio de los datos cuantitativos y los datos cualitativos. Los datos cuantitativos son aquellos que expresan información por medio de números o tienen una magnitud, por ejemplo, tengo 16 años. Por otro lado, los datos cualitativos son aquellos que contienen información de calidad, emocional y de percepción, por ejemplo, una obra de arte abstracta, requiere una interpretación; una fotografía, la personalidad de una persona, "es brava". Algunas de las áreas de conocimiento que se consideran necesarias son las matemáticas, con las ciencias naturales, y la psicología con las ciencias humanas. Dentro de esta variación de áreas, se trabajan afirmaciones con datos cuantitativos; que resultaría siendo las matemáticas ya que, la forma de

The Onion Everyone still remembers the time you threw up in 5th gradeThe purpose of this satire was to inform everyone that some embarrassing mistakes, even though they may not be intended, never really erase from ones mind

Maham Ahmed April 26, 2010 Period 6 The Onion - "Everyone still remembers the time you threw up in 5th grade" . The subject of this satire was to mock the day when someone threw up in class and how everything about the scene is now scarred in everyone's head., and up to this day whenever anyone who was there to experience it recalls the scene they still laugh, because the memory became inerasable. The purpose of this satire was to inform everyone that some embarrassing mistakes, even though they may not be intended, never really erase from one's mind and becomes an excuse for the entire society to mock about or make fun of. In my opinion, the intended audience was the entire public who live in the denial that their actions may have been forgotten, but in reality no one really forgets the embarrassing or humiliating actions one makes, it becomes something one has to learn to live with. 2. Tone is also being in this passage as an element of satire because it is very sarcastic and also bitter but not in a negative way, the bitter tone is used to create humor and also convey the purpose of the satire. For example, when he says "..to the pungent stench of semi-digested tuna wafting through the halls", his tone is bitter because he is ridiculing the individual who threw up, but it is funny to the audience also because of his straight up comments and by doing this he instantly

Comentario sobre el cuento Circe de Cortzar

Comentario de texto Nombre: Jorge Andrés Justiniano Nava. El fragmento que analizaré a continuación se encuentra desde las páginas 75 hasta la 77, del libro Bestiario, escrito por Julio Cortázar. Como sabemos, "Bestiario" se trata de una recopilación de cuentos fantásticos del escritor argentino, así que es menester también situar el fragmento en su respectivo relato, en este caso, se trata del cuento "Circe". El fragmento a analizar posee una gran trascendencia a lo largo de todo el relato, debido a que en él se tratan temas que subyacen al cuento e incluso a toda la obra. Este fragmento se encuentra situado inmediatamente después de la ruptura de Mario con su familia, al predominar sobre él su amor hacia Delia más que el amor de la familia. En este fragmento se relata un poco acerca de Delia y su peculiar comportamiento. Además, se alude a su relación con Mario. Se relata también la posición que tiene Mario hacia su familia y a las demás personas, que tienen una visión negativa de Delia, ya que la consideran una asesina. Por último, en este fragmento se describen asimismo los dos trágicos sucesos que causaron que los dos novios de Delia murieran, y ella fuera, por ende, considerada como la causante de sus desgracias. Los temas tratados en el fragmento son la muerte no esclarecida y la hipocresía de la sociedad, que a su vez sirve de crítica social

Owen's war poetry

What is Owen trying to express about war in his poetry? It is a widely acknowledged truth that war is contemptible and cruel, but it takes the poetic opulence and the lively experience of the war to effectively convey one's strong attitude against the reality of war. With his frequent use of contrast, para-rhyme and vivid imagery especially of blood and light in his collection of war poems, Wilfred Owen successfully portrays the brutal reality in battle thus stirs the readers' sympathy for the soldiers, expresses his anger at the futility of war, demonstrates the disdain for ignorant people back at home and voices his anguish at the condemnation that these soldiers have to endure. The horrendous experience Owen has gone through as a soldier in the British Army in World War I explains why the tremendous sufferings by the soldiers stands as the most predominant idea in almost all his poems in the anthology. From the passive suffering of cold winds that "knife us" (Exposure) to the disturbing death of an unlucky fellow comrade in gas warfare (Dulce et Decorum est) "flound'ring like a man in fire or lime", Owen presents a wide range of pains that blurs the boundary between life and death. Although the type of destruction portrayed in each poem is not the same as any other, they all highlight the frightening cruelty of the war, most obvious of all the deterioration of a man's

Il Mediterraneo

IL MEDITERRANEO I CRETESI La prima civiltà marittima del Mediterraneo fu quella dei cretesi, detti anche Minoici (dal mitico re di Cnosso, Minasse) Questi primi navigatori, su leggeri navigli di circa 15 metri, aprirono nel Mediterraneo orientale un'importante rotta nord-sud, collegando la Grecia e l'Italia meridionale con l'isola di Creta, e Creta con il prospero Egitto dei faraoni. I lucrosi traffici marittimi arricchirono l'isola, dove sorsero le imponenti città-palazzo di Cnosso, Festo e Mallia, sedi di regni indipendenti che controllavano i villaggi agricoli dell'interno. Nella società cretese che conosceva la scrittura (lineare A, non ancora decifrata) ma non la moneta, avevano grande importanza, insieme con il sovrano, i mercanti. I resti archeologici testimoniano una vita prospera e un delicato senso dell'arte, specie nella pittura. La splendida civiltà cretese scomparve improvvisamente per un'oscura tragedia: forse un cataclisma, seguito dall'invasione di genti provenienti dalla Grecia, gli Achei. GLI ACHEI Gli Achei erano in origine pastori guerrieri indoeuropei discesi nella penisola greca, dove avevano fondato le città fortezza di Micene, Tirino, Argo e altre minori. Gli Achei, detti anche Micenei dal nome della principale città, presero presto il mare occupando Creta e altre isole dell'Egeo. In breve tempo costituirono un vasto dominio marittimo, con
