Saki The Interlopers
The Interlopers is a story by Saki based around the feud and friendship of Georg Znaeym and Ulrich von Gradwitz. The definition of "interloper" is someone who is unwanted, a trespasser or intruder. Who then, was Saki referring to as to the interlopers? "Wolves." This is the last line in the story. These are the ones who were unwanted and intruded on these two men. The fear of death would bring these two together but the interlopers would erase what they had just become. I truly believe that these wolves are the ones that Saki was referring to in the

    Thematic Analysis: The Interlopers and Romeo and Juliet

    I think that these two topics have a lot in common with each other because they both die, that is how their families stop hating each other but in “the interlopers” it is not from poison it is from a pack of wolves. That got to them before their men could.…

    Marco Mielcarek's Voices From The Wall

    “The Wall was an edifice of fear. On the November ninth… it was a place of joy”. (President Horst Köhler). When the Iron Curtain, or Berlin Wall, was built, it divided Berlin into two regions: East Berlin and West Berlin. The West Berlin was allies with the United States while East Berlin was dominated by the totalitarian Soviet Union government. The fall of the wall had divided the city for thirty agonizing years allowed people to rediscover life. The Berlin Wall devastatingly divided families, and in the east kept career opportunities from meritorious contenders. Communication was essentially prohibited between the two regions, for easterners were forbidden to travel to the west. Easterners were only granted permission to visit the west under dire circumstances by the discordant Eastern government, and west Berlin citizens did not want to visit their socialist neighbor. According to the westerners, life was great. The wall had just become a custom for them, but for the east, it was much more. The wall divided them from their freedom. “Voices from the Wall” by Marco Mielcarek captures the enticing point of view of the western Berlin citizen on that fateful November 9th, 1989. “Voices from the Wall” by Marco Mielcarek apprehends the discomfort from the wall’s division…

    It's Them Again Metaphors

    From text I can assume that the night men were the people that burned the Berry's. For example, on page 62, it states "You know what some of 'em done to the Berry's." This shows that the men riding that night maybe the people who burn the Berry's and are out to do so again. Those men riding are out to get the people who ruined the bus for the white kids. Another example, is stated on page 60, "It's...it's them again, they's ridin' t'night." Mr. Morrison states in that quote "it's them again" , by this quote we can predict it is someone they know and it not good. The words "it's them again" made Mama pale and frightened by the sound of the words. That means Mama must have encountered the night men before. This concludes that later in the book…

Not only will we discuss ethnocentrism and the cultural differences between Western and Middle Eastern societies, we will also take a look at the women of El Nahra and family within the differing societies.…

Myki is currently using MIFARE DESfire technology for standard tickets, and MIFARE ultralight C for the short term tickets. Myki is currently replacing a number of ticket systems in victoria, primarily the metcard and v line ticketing systems. Here, in Australia public transportation system is one of the popular options people prefer to travel to different local and far fledge places. Travelling through a public transportation system is always cheap and comfortable option here in Australia.

    The Fantasticks

    Upon my arrival to the ticket booth, I wasn't quite sure what musical I would be watching. Then I stumbled over The Fantasticks, which currently the number one with most off Broadway performances. It was first premiered in 1960, and it was able to have been going on since that long, something about had to be good. I wasn't quite clear what to expect, but just something different. The auditorium had, give or take, 200 seats. After settling down, I opened my program booklet for an overture about the musical. Book and lyrics were by Tom Jones. Music was by Harvey Schmidt. It was also directed by Tom Jones, and the original production stage was by Word Baker.…

    Guests of the Sheik

    Through out Middle East the lives of women appear to have no influencing role in society. Elizabeth Fernea provides an survey of the traditions of an Iraqi village in her book Guests of the Sheik. Within this book, Fernea explores the element of gender and its impact on the roles of women in Iraq, directly in the village of El Nahra. She also encounters the expectations based on the gender-specific social constructs of polygamous families. Another woman author, Leila Abouzeid, explores similar elements in the work Return to Childhood, which is based in islamic Morocco. Fernea, who the women of the harem call Beeja, presents experiential information about the life of both women and men and her role within her husband's life as it reflects upon this eastern culture. This provides for an interesting perspective about the different roles of men and women in distant eastern cultures. Abouzeid also comments on family structure from the eyes of a child and how she viewed the role of the woman also within the eastern culture.…

    Guests of the Sheik

    Out of all the many countries in the world, each one is unique and individualistic with many exclusive qualities to each one. Many times, the countries get compared to the Western civilization of the United States. The book Guests of the Sheik is just that, but more. An American woman, (Elizabeth Fernea) travels to a completely foreign land, not known at all to her and experiences the culture first hand. She is at first willing, since her husband, Bob, had no choice and his job permitted him to do so (in moving to a completely new country). We learn in the book, that not only is where she staying, completely different than America, but surprisingly, the Iraqi people are not ‘jealous’ or want her life, but more take pity on her for not having theirs. My paper will analyze and discuss ideas about satisfaction, security, authority, power, and autonomy for women in the El Eshadda tribal society of El Nahra. I will also touch on the different thing women derive their satisfaction, power, authority, and security in this very different world.…

    One of the best animals he used was a wolf. A wolf can be described as a wild carnivorous mammal of the dog family, living and hunting in packs. The author says. “All of the town’s big shots were there in their tuxedoes, wolfing down the buffet foods, drinking beer, and whiskey and smoking black cigars.” The narrator refers the big shots as the wolves. The wolves come in town preying on people that they fell that are lesser than them. They think they run everything. These wolves run in packs. Therefore, they only do their dirty acts together; they feed off each other negative feed.…

    irony of the interlopers

    In the story “The Interlopers”, hunters, Ulrich von Gradwitz and his enemy Georg Znaeym, come face to face in Ulrich’s woods. They each have hate in their heart and murder on their mind but nature’s own violence overwhelms them both. They get stuck underneath a fallen beech tree and can’t escape. Both of them have men on their way to help them out but, whose will be the first to arrive? As both men sit and argue with each other, Ulrich decides to be the bigger person and ask for Georg’s friendship. “… I’ve changed my mind. If my men are the first to come you shall be the first to be helped, as though you were my guest. We have quarreled like devils all our lives over this stupid strip of forest, where the trees can’t even stand upright in a breath of wind. Lying here tonight, thinking, I’ve come to think we’ve been rather fools; there are better things in life than getting the better of a boundary dispute. Neighbor, if you will help me to bury the old quarrel I—I will ask you to be my friend,” Ulrich said. Georg Znaeym accepted his friendship request and agreed to be civil with each other by saying, “…. I would never fire a shot on your land, save when you invited me as a guest; and you should come and shoot with me down in the marshes where the wildfowl are. In all the countryside there are none that could hinder if we willed to make peace. I never thought to have wanted to do other than hate you all my life, but I think I have changed my mind about things too, this last half-hour, and you offered me your wine flask… Ulrich von Gradwitz, I will be your friend.” While in the silence thinking of the changes this reconciliation would bring, Ulrich suspects he sees his men. There are nine to ten figures coming through the woods, but is it what he thinks to be?…
