I think the movie was very accurate to the textbook for the reason that it was so similar that I would have thought that Halie Gerima have made an adaptations of the textbook. It was like I have receive a visual of what I was reading. The theme of sun down and sun up in the movie Sankofa was that we can see slave working in the field or house slave. The slave was cutting or hacked down trees and the overseas was watching them on horse with a whip or gun in there hand. While in the movie we can see women like Nuna taking the responsibilities as midwives and caretakers of the children in the community. Therefore in the textbook on page 162- 163 we can see the some information such as “elderly woman have special responsibilities as nurse,…

He was gone now, but a little part of him lived on. It was in Kabul. Waiting” (239). Amir knows that he will never have a friend as loyal and loving as Hassan again.

Maycomb was a “tired old town...there was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with, nothing to see...” This sentence sums up a lifestyle analogous to daily life in the south during the Great Depression. The stock market crash, Great Depression, and Jim Crow south all contributed to the tired ways of small southern towns. Minute towns and crowded cities across the United States suffered immensely during the Great Depression. This period of time remains marred by the evident poverty of the country and racial inequality and segregation.…

à Biopsychosocial perspective - "a view of development as a complex interaction of biological, psychosocial, and social processes"…
In this short story we meet Sister and four members of her family. The Protaganist of the story ia Sister , the oldest child of two girls, and her younger sister Stella-Rondo is the family favorite. It seems everything Sister wants, Stella-Rondo gets. Sister says that Stella-Rondo stole her boyfriend for it was Sister who had been dating Mr. Whitaker first until Stella- Rondo, being the jealous person she was told him that Sister was "one-sided," unequal on both sides. And that in-turn ended the relationship.Sisters real problem is that she is extreamly jelous of Stella-rondo. And she, Sister, at times can be a little selfish. For instance at the end Sister says to herself, "And if Stella-Rondo should come to me this minute, on bended knee, and attempt to explain the incidents of her life with Mr. Whitaker, I'd simply put my fingers in both my ears and refuse to listen" (153). That statement alone defines her jealously and selfishness towards her sister, because it seems Mr. Whitaker is the only thing she is really upset about for she makes no mention about any of the other family members,…
Explanation: In this poem, the speaker discusses how people will do anything just to get a story. In the midst of crisis and destruction, someone will always be trying to capture on the moment. In the poem the speaker discusses when President Kennedy was shot. Instead of describing it in a somber way, the speaker talks about how the media glorifies the event. The speaker also discusses how as a society we fail to recognize the unsung heroes. “A prince of battle is blown into bloodymeat. No headlines.” The speaker describes the death of a brave soldier during battle. Though his death was heroic no one will ever know the tale. This poem symbolizes the culture of our society and how we put emphasis in the wrong places. While we take the time to recognize celebrities and public icons for their deeds, we fail to give tribute to those who have sacrificed their life for our freedoms.…
