  • Louise Erdrich's Tracks

    In Louise Erdrich’s “Tracks';, the readers discovers by the second chapter that there are two narrators, Nanapush and Pauline Puyat. This method of having two narrators telling their stories alternately could be at first confusing, especially if the readers hasn’t been briefed about it or hasn’t read a synopsis of it. Traditionally, there is one narrator in the story, but Erdrich does an effective and spectacular job in combining Nanapush and Pauline’s stories. It is so well written that one might question as he or she reads who is the principal character in this story? Being that there are two narrators, is it Nanapush, the first narrator, him being a participant in the story, who tells his story in the “I'; form? Or is it Pauline, the second narrator, who also narrates in the “I'; form? Upon further reading, the motive for both narrators’ stories become more evident, and by the end of the book, it becomes clear that one character is the driving force for both of the narrators’ stories. This central character is Fleur Pillager. She in fact is the protagonist of “Tracks';. Even though she is limited in dialogues, her actions speak more than words itself.

  • Analysis Of Harriet Jacobs Incidents In The Life Of A Slave Girl

    1019 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Harriet Jacobs Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, the author subjects the reader to a dystopian slave narrative based on a true story of a woman’s struggle for self-identity, self-preservation and freedom. This non-fictional personal account chronicles the journey of Harriet Jacobs (1813-1897) life of servitude and degradation in the state of North Carolina to the shackle-free promise land of liberty in the North. The reoccurring theme throughout that I strive to exploit is how the women’s sphere, known as the Cult of True Womanhood (Domesticity), is a corrupt concept that is full of white bias and privilege that has been compromised by the harsh oppression of slavery’s racial barrier. Women and the female race are falling for man’s

    Born into slavery, Araminta Ross, better known as Harriet Tubman soon rose to fame as one of the most well- known conductors on the Underground Railroad. With nineteen successful trips into the South and over 300 people freed by Tubman’s guidance alone, it is clearly evident why Tubman was referred to as the “Moses” of her people (Gale US History in Context). Although it is often thought that the years spent on the Railroad were some of Tubman’s toughest journeys in life, one must consider the aspects of her life leading up to her involvement with the Underground Railroad. The Underground Railroad was a perilous journey to undertake, the consequence of being caught trying to escape was death. Tubman was willing to take that risk, the risk of losing her life in order to help complete strangers gain freedom. It must be taken into consideration why Tubman would put her life at such a risk when she would perceivably receive no personal gain. Harriet Tubman’s personal experiences, love for freedom, and selflessness led her to become one of the Underground Railroad’s most successful conductors.

Husband and wife, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, were charged with conspiracy to commit espionage.

  • Summary Of Sandra Melgar's Crimes

    500 Words  | 1 Pages

    By having these pictures in place while reading the article the reader will be taken away by the pictures and take a stance on whether or not Melgar is innocent. Of course, by over emphasizing the crime that took place and using non humanizing photographs, the audience is more prone to believe she is guilty due to their lack of prior knowledge of the case. With this in mind the medium was using a social breakdown frame that states a crime occurred due to a family breakdown. According to the article, Melgar wanted a divorce but because she was a religious individual in which her religion disapproved of divorce, her only choice was to kill her husband to be single again. In addition to that, they also made her seem as if she wanted the money that was under her husband's life insurance, a total of $250,000 that of course the article did not fail to include. Through these the social break down frame is portrayed through making it seem as if Melgar was unhappy with her family and wanted an out, so she turned to crime to solve this issue. With the use of this frame the audience was also able to see multiple ‘what ifs’ explanations as to why the crime might have taken place, convincing them more that Melgar is the only one to
