Dwight Okita And Mericans By Sandra Cisneros
To better the story an author will include some sort of way to make the story stand out. Some examples of these would be included in the story "In Response to Order 9066" by Dwight Okita, and “Mericans” by Sandra Cisneros. Both stories have the common theme in them causing a reaction from the readers. One way they are similar is the style they use. One difference is how different the stories about the similar topics are from one another.
A single way the common theme is used is to show the readers how discrimination towards race can effect people's lives. During the wars people of all non American decent were put in internment camps as the U.S feared they would turn on them and be directly attacked in their own homes. As a result of American

    Zoot Suitors Summary

    Throughout this story I feel like the theme that is stressed the most would be how Latin Americans had to deal with being discriminated against. Riots broke out between the Zoot Suiters and the public around the L.A. area during the WWII. Latinos were discriminated and accused of being criminals because of their skin and wild style of dressing They were known as the "Zoot Suitors". The suits that they wore had long, broad shouldered coats. Extra baggy pants that fit tight at the ankles. They wore a long chain pocket watch and a broad brimmed hat with a feather in it. This was how Pachucos dressed in their early years. This was how they felt they were able to express themselves but the public and the press tried to use their tradition against…

    The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street Analysis

    For example, in The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street, and The Giver, the characters are alike because they show paranoia because they were second guessing their peers, they acting like leaders to their community, and also because they want to protect themselves so that nothing bad happens to them, or their loved ones. Both of these texts proves that just because the plot or structure of the story is completely different, it does not mean that the characters have to be different. In fact, it shows that the books are very alike, and they are also very relatable. The characters truly show that they are dependable, trustworthy, and brave to their…

    John Lewis The Power Of Nonviolence

    The first way the theme is revealed is by John Lewis and other blacks being discriminated against. In the Southern States black people were discriminated against and were not allowed to eat or watch movies at the same places as white people because they were “colored”. Because of their skin they were denied the same things as white people. As shown in this quote “You bought your ticket at the same window that the white people did, but they could sit downstairs, and you had to go upstairs.” This quote supports the theme because it shows how hard life is on them and how they go on.…

    Classconflict

    One idea that I found significant is when the author said " American society had made people racist" . In other word , we used to be racist by how wealth individuals are. And what economic class belongs . I'm really agree about this because back in to the history of my country , The Dominican Republic. Between the years 1930-1961, my country had a president Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. Who treated people with no respect at all. But family who were wealthy , or belong to the society , he made distinction . Otherwise, for him, the rest of the population were ordinary with no right of he treats like the others.…

    How Does Langston Hughes Use Imagery In Theme For English B

    The poem “Theme for English B” tells a story about a student’s perspective on who he truly is as a person by Langston Hughes. The poem is developed into three sections. The first section creates a tone of knowledge where he knows where he stands as the only black student trying to express through the use of imagery.

    A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings Comparison

    The stories we read in class were both titled ‘The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World’, and ‘A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings’. Both stories seem to correspond with each other, and have both major similarities, as well as major differences. The stories fit together just like that, almost feeling like you’re reading the same story again, though having enough differences to separate the stories from each other. These similarities and differences tend to range from either small and subtle, to extreme and obvious. Some similarities and differences include how both of the men in the story are portrayed, how the rest of the people in story acted towards these men, and the fate of both of them in the start and the end of the story.…
