Between The Shades Of Grey Summary
Another example from a piece of literature is the author’s note at the end of “Between the Shades of Grey”.

Yet people took over there position, “Upon returning in the mid-1950s, the Lithuanians found that Soviets had occupied their homes, were enjoying all of their belongings, and had even assumed their names. Everything was lost. The returning deportees were treated as criminals. They were forced to live in restricted areas, and were under constant surveillance by the KGB, formerly the NKVD.”
They returned to an unchanged place yet they were no longer the

    What is a true war story? Is it a collection of memories, pulled from the ragged and weary brain of a soldier, and stitched together to form literature? Is it a fictitious (albeit perfectly accurate) account of battle, formulated by a civilian English major for his dissertation? One might argue that a true war story cannot be defined, for it will never exist. A thorough and valid account of battle, sticking without fail to the truth of the story, will inevitably be changed by either the soldier’s aggrandizement, or the loss of memory needed to translate the brain’s images into words. This results in there being a very thin line between…

    Shades Of White Summary

    • 887 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Shades of White is an ethnographic study of two high schools. One, "Valley Groves High School," was suburban, and the "whitest" high school in the region. Here the student body was comprised of non-Hispanic whites (83 percent), Hispanics (7 percent), Asians (5 percent), Filipinos (2 percent), and African Americans (2 percent). The other, "Clavey High," was metropolitan and more thoroughly multiracial--African American (54 percent), Asian American (23 percent), white (12 percent), Hispanic (8 percent), Filipino (2 percent), Pacific Islander (1 percent), and Native American (1 percent). Perry examines the making and living of whiteness in school life, asking about its formation through white students' interactions with one another and with peers of color. In this book the schoolyard is as important as are school curriculum, faculty, and administrators. Meanwhile, the familial and larger social contexts from which students arrive to complete each school day are deemed not so much stable, preexisting settings, as sites in relation to which selves and others must be reconceived and remade.…

    “This report is a tribute to the strength and struggles of many thousands of ATSI people affected by forcible removal. We acknowledge the hardships they endured and the sacrifices they made. We remember and lament all the children who will never come home.” This quote clearly describes the reasoning of The Bringing Them Home Report, which acknowledges the hardships that the children from the Stolen Generation and their families went through. The document lead to a national understanding of the physical and mental trauma that many from the Stolen Generation went through, many of the effects being life-long. “Why me, why was I taken? It’s like a hole in you heart that can never heal.” (Page 177 in The Bringing Them Home Report). Using quotes like these further deepened the impact of the document. This also resulted in a national ‘Sorry Day’, a day on the 26th of May held “to commemorate the history of forcible removals and its effects.” In addition to this, the Stolen Generation got reconnected with their families and later received written apologies from each state and territory and apology in the form…

    Deportation is a devastating experience for a family, breaking it apart and leading to emotional and mental stress for its members. But a new report from the Centre for American Progress shows that such duress extends beyond families and into the larger community as a whole. The report, 'How Today's Immigration Enforcement Policies Impact Children, Families, and Communities:Albany University, and points to the short- and long-term effects that the deportation of illegal immigrants has on both family units and wider society. The United States deports roughly 400,000 illegal immigrants each year. Of these, a significant portion is parents of U.S. citizens, with children who were born in the United States…
