  • Religious Conflict in 20th Century Non-western Literature

    2153 Words  | 5 Pages

    Religion is essential to every human being. Not only does it serve as a foundation for one to form his/her own set of values and integrity, but it also acts as a source of conflict for many people. Internal religious conflict can be seen in the form of one’s personal struggle with his/her belief. However, personal struggles are mostly influenced by external factors, which cause disturbances to one’s faith and loyalty to their beliefs. On the other hand, external conflict is the concept of which chaos and upheavals occur in society from clash of beliefs. Both conflicts between religions and internal religious conflict are found to be central to the plot of many examples of 20th Century Non-Western literature. African and Middle-Eastern literature, in particular, addresses many aspects of religious conflict, both in the form of the individual and collective struggle.

  • The Importance Of Diction In Speaker For The Dead

    482 Words  | 1 Pages

    Speaker for the dead is an intricate and complex novel, with the characters to match. While there is a great multitude of diversity, the difference in diction isn’t as evident due to the large presence of highly intelligent main and secondary characters. At first this intellect creates a setback in the search for diction, submerging the readers into a novel with large, confusing, vocabulary and scientific theories that, in a way, create a wall between the character's true personalities and what they are neatly presented as. Speaker for the dead forces deep concentration and thus emotional attachment in order to see the characters for who they really are. Ender wiggin is both destroyer and savior in almost every Ender’s game novel. His insight

  • The Colour Purple - Spirituality & Religion

    1459 Words  | 3 Pages

    Celie is not the only character to undergo a change in her religious outlook and complete the journey “from the religious to the spiritual”. Nettie also is brought up as a devout believer in the Christian church however throughout her time in Africa and with the help of the Olinka people she discovers a new more “internal” form of religion similar to Celie’s new found spirituality. The journey from the religious back to the spiritual is reflected in the distance between the white missionaries in Britain and America and the African tribes. The missionaries represent the formal ‘white’ church and the Olinka fulfilling the idea of pantheist spirituality. This is a journey Nettie makes physically and spiritually. Shug and Mr.’s views on religion also change during the novel, and as Walker intends, all make this ‘journey’ with “courage and the help of others”.

  • The Importance Of The Audience In Kelly Link's 'Wrong Grave'

    614 Words  | 2 Pages

    As with any writing project, determining who the audience for it is important as they are the ones who help the writer determine the appropriate content for the piece. Often the audience is assumed to be whoever is reading the essay, short story, or report; however, it is the group of people the author intends to educate, entertain, or persuade ("Writing Process: Determining Audience"). The audience influences every decision a writer makes about what is shared, how it is shared, and the supporting details necessary for the reader to comprehend it all (“Writing for Your Audience”). For example, readers of speculative fiction enjoy scenarios that push the boundaries of the imagination where anything can happen while young children who read poetry may need rhythmic language and strong imagery to help them connect with it.

  • Analysis of The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield

    1467 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the first 15 pages, while the plot is still forming, at least eight basic ideas are introduced: a spiritual awakening is occurring in the world (p.4); humanity is evolving into a higher spiritual consciousness (p.4); seek the experiential (p.5); coincidences have spiritual significance (synchronicity) (p.6); the knowledge contained in the manuscript's insights has been hidden from most of the world (esoteric, secret knowledge) (p.8); anti-Christian attitudes (p.9); discover truth through experience (p.10); and when the student is ready, the teacher appears (p.15). These ideas are not always expressed in so many words, but their principles are. For example, the basis of the story is that the spiritual insights humanity needs are hidden in an ancient document, and must be uncovered if mankind is to advance spiritually. Not everyone, according to the story, is ready for or able to comprehend these teachings. The insights are for those spiritually ripe, the spiritual elite. The book implies that in time others will accept these ideas but for now the more advanced must lead until a critical mass of people have grasped the insights.

  • Post-modern Fiction

    1545 Words  | 4 Pages

    Pre 20th century novels were mostly adopting a linear narrative, which was either chronological or according to structure of a beginning middle and end. By not conforming to the traditional method of structuring a novel they were attempting to create a mimesis of reality. At an individual and worldly level, religion viewed birth as the beginning and perhaps death as the end. On a greater scale perhaps it viewed the creation of the world as the beginning and according to the eschatological view, the ‘end of time’ or the ‘end of the world’. Post modernist believed that this view did not reflect reality and therefore attempted to adopt a similar mimesis in their works. They attempted to use fragmentation in the novels to reflect life as being more complicated. In the Bible the quote ‘in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight’ (King James Bible, Proverb 3:6) depicts life as an easy path as long as though you submit to God. Pre-modernist England saw two World Wars where between 1914-1945, 1270009 soldiers died (Hoffmann, (2001), pg.2). Although the loss of the soldiers was paramount, the psychological and economic effect was still felt by those during the postmodernist era. The fragmentation in novels heavily reflected these repercussions of war, rather than the alleged ‘straight path’ the Christians were promised by God in the Bible.
