The nexus of knowledge and power that creates "the Oriental" and in a sense establishes him as a human being is not (for me) an exclusively academic matter. I have been able to put to use my humanistic and political concern for the development and consolidation of Orientalism (p. 52). Works Cited Said, Edward W. 1978. "Orientalism."

With the box sitting on top of it, I could see the brown perimeter of the bible, like one sees a church steeple in a bank of clouds.

I am writing the analysis of three comics, which are, The Pride of Baghdad, The Lady and The Tramp, and The Persepolis. When I read The Pride of Baghdad and The Persepolis, I think that it is very fasctinating story. In my opinion, when I read The Pride of Bagdad, it reminds about the Iraq War.
