The exigence of this chapter is the fact that sex slavery has worsened and is worsening; the created capitalism, the developed transportation and the fear of AIDS make trafficking easier and increase demand for young girls because customers believe young girls would not infect with ADIS. The authors use mainly pathos and logos to describe sex slavery situation. First, they emotionally appeal to their audiences with Meena Hasina’s horrific experience; she was kidnapped and trafficked, and then she was forced to prostitute. If she resisted serving customers, she was beaten, threatened with death and even drugged by the owner of the brothel. As a result of prostitution, she gave births one girl and one boy; however, her babies are deprived by the owner of the brothel. Later, she could take her children back from the pimp by assistance of an organization that helps people suffer from sex slavery in India, but her daughter Naina has already drugged and forced to prostitute. Next, the authors also provide logic data to convince how serious sex slavery is in the world. For example, there are 2 or 3 million women prostitute in India and many of them are trafficked and forced to sell sex. Also, according to the authors’ estimation, there are 3 million women and girls are enslaved in the sex trade all over the world, and they could be killed by their owners because they are treated as one of the owner’s properties. The authors aim everyone in the world as their audiences because this sex slavery issue is global problem not just happening in a particular country.…
Not everyone was affected by the Dust Storm in the same way. Thousands of Americans were forced off their land and lost their jobs, but those who worked in other types of jobs were not suffering in the same way. Al and Mae were surrounded by food and were clearly not hungry or else they would have eaten some of it. Families traveling west were starving; people were dying of malnutrition and other forms of neglect. This passage, and chapter, gave the reader a different perspective of the 1930s. The Joad’s story- their thoughts, feelings, and experiences- connected the reader and characters. Because of this connection, a reader can forget how others were experiencing and years; until this point, the world was only filled with despair. The restaurant…

The Dust Bowl happened between the years of 1931 and 1939. The Dust Bowl was a period of time where 150,000-square-miles of the Oklahoma and Texas panhandle and parts of Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico had little rainfall, light soil, and high winds, causing devastating effects on the land and people that lived there. There have been many discoveries and advances that can help prevent a future “Dust Bowl”, but the US could experience the Dust Bowl again. We have come a long way from the Dust Bowl and with advances in areas such as agriculture and conservation, scientists and researchers have delayed the chance of a second Dust Bowl. Some examples on how we have delayed a second Dust Bowl are policies and strict…
When discussing conflict everyone has their own definition, but it would generally be agreed that it requires a disagreement between individuals within a group. However, my definition of conflict would be a mental struggle between the character and a clash between two or more characters with different interests. A conflict presents itself in various forms. It may also come willingly or unwillingly affecting a person's mind or a person's actions. A conflict can either be a blessing or a curse. This essay will show how 3 books with different conflicts changed a character's life or the characters' way of thinking.…
The type of conflict supports the story by showing a man who is against the world and trying to build a life while also trying to not forget his roots. This is shown when the young man is playing basketball as he did as a child (367-368). The books ends with the protagonist living in the city and working in a high school exchange program (368). The last words the protagonist says are “I know how all of my dreams end anyway.” This shows that even though the protagonist now has a better job and he seems to be on the right track, he feels as if he’s not where he’s supposed to…
In literature, there are four types of major conflicts, and in many cases these conflicts are beyond the characters control. These four types of conflicts are man versus another man, for example in The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, a major man versus man conflict are the rival gangs, the Greasers and the Socs. Another conflict is man versus nature, where a person is in trouble with a force of nature, like a tornado, or in this case a fire. Man versus society is where a character has conflicts with society’s views on “outsiders” and people who do not fit in. An man versus self, is where a character struggles against him or herself, with unwanted feelings. The main types of conflict that can be found in this book are, man versus man, man versus…
The Grapes of Wrath recounts the story of the Great Depression in Southwest America. By the mid-1930s, the drought had destroyed multitudes of farm families, and America had fallen into the Great Depression. Unable to pay their mortgages or invest in the kinds of industrial equipment now required, many Dust Bowl farmers were forced to leave their land. Without employment, thousands of families traveled to California in hopes of finding new means of survival. But the farm country of California quickly became overcrowded with the migrant workers.…

The text suggests several key ideas about conflict It demonstrates that conflict can make individuals work harder to achieve their dreams and can bring out the strength of the human spirit through a sense of hope.

As you can see, Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is one of the most important Latin American novels to ever be written. The story depicts the life of what was once an ordinary town in Colombia forever changed by a murder which was inspired by a death of Marquez’s friend. He also displays the dominance men have over women and how the town expects both genders to behave. It is these reasons why I acknowledge why the book is not only of the most important books in Latin American literature, but one of the best ever…
