Scamp Harmony Summary
¨Camp Harmony¨ written by Monica Sone is used in exaggeration in saying the camp is a unique or beautiful place to live. Instead the author is telling the reader how the Japanese were taken to the camp and given a home the size of a living room with only 1 door and 1 small window. The people at the camp did not know what to do because there was literally nothing to do, everyone would just wander around.¨Mother and Father wandered out to see what the other folks were doing and they found people wandering in the mud, wondering what other folks were doing.¨ In the camp all people were surrounded by a fence and watched by guards in a tower to make sure nothing occurred. The people thought It was not right to be behind fences with wire all around

    Summary Of Migrant Hostel

    Subject: Migrant Hostel is a poem composed by Peter Skrzynecki. It is a moving account of the experiences of migrants living in an overly-crowded lodge. The first stanza captures the temporary nature of the immigrants stay at the hostel; “comings and goings”, “arrivals of newcomers” and “sudden departures”. The second stanza goes on to express the cultural divisions existing within the hostel; “nationalities sought”. The next stanza reminds the responder of the seasonal, short time spent in the hostel and the boredom, tedium and uncertainty which results. The final stanza concludes the poem by creating a strong sense of oppression, explaining that the hostel controlled the migrants’ every action. Overall, Skrzynecki…

    Harvest Gypsies Analysis

    Government camps provide sections of land for tents and permanent structures which fulfill the migrants’ need for shelter. The permanent structures Steinbeck recognizes are: “washrooms, toilets and showers, an administration building and a place where the people can entertain themselves” (Article IV). These permanent structures help migrants become more comfortable with their surroundings. This shelter allows migrants some leeway on where they want to…

    Migrant Hostel Belonging Speech

    Skrzynecki’s poem ‘Migrant Hostel’ discusses the theme of dislocation within institutional belonging. ‘Migrant Hostel’ portrays an image to the audience of an individual who doesn’t belong in this environment and also has a loss of identity. This migration to a foreign country creates a loss of identity in this individual as they don’t know where they belong and also the fact that they are being held at a hostel gives them a sense of non acceptance in this new country. Being paced in a hostel away from society represents the theme of institutional belonging as the individual has nowhere to go which clearly points to the individual not belonging. Skrzynecki uses techniques such as similes to give the viewer a deeper understanding on what his is trying to convey in this poem. The simile ‘ like a homing pigeon circling to get its bearings’ creates imagery of an individual not knowing where to go and what to do. This simile provides the reader with a profound description and idea of the environment the individual was in. Another valid quote from the poem which helps depict the sense of not belonging to the hostel is ‘no one kept count of all the comings and goings’. This reveals how there was no such structure in this environment as the people who came in and out of the hostel stayed a very short time before being placed into society. This also depicts not belonging as they never felt comfortable in the environment in which they were kept and didn’t stay long enough to feel a sense of home or connectedness to the…

    The Painted Door Analysis

    In an attempt to be unrestricted, an individual tends to break societal norms. The restrictions that society imposes may tie individuals down, for example the Taliban in Afghanistan imposes restrictions that stop them from pursing professional careers. The short story The Painted Door by Sinclair Ross, explores ideas about isolation, loneliness and the effects they may have on a person. Isolation leaves a person more reserved and alone, they do not express themselves properly and when they are alone they struggle with disturbed thoughts. The story follows the struggles of Ann, a farmer’s wife who resents being left alone by her husband before a storm. Her physical isolation stops her social interactions which lives her disconnected. While,…

    Appearance And Reality: The Contradiction Between Reality Vs. Reality

    When people see the world or aspects of the world and reality, it is usually perceived and taken as the truth. It might seem easier to believe that the world is as it appears but there is more to the world then what is seen through immediate experiences, details that are left out that ensure certainty. This is why within the essay I will be discussing why it is not justified to believe that the world is as it appears. I will bring up this contradiction between appearance and reality using the reading and finding of philosophers such as Descartes, Berkeley, Russell and Plato who have in their own way tried to come to an understanding as to what appearance and reality are and if the world is truly as it appears.…

    Pros and Cons of Advertising

    ‘Whether we like it or not we have got it, and we are likely to go on having it.’ Thus Mr. Taplin in a book which has just been published entitled Advertising: a new approach. Mr. Taplin was formerly the editor of one of our distinguished and irreverent contemporaries: now he bears the striking title of Research Fellow in Advertising and Promotional Activity at the London School of Economics. Whether or not his approach is new, his poet is unique: and his attitude to his subject is, on the whole, approving. Not that he is unaware that the art of advertising has from time to time met with a certain amount of criticism. For example, in a recent number of The Listener Mr. Farneaux Jordan, reviewing recent guidebooks, made some rather gratuitous and perhaps insufficiently considered remarks about advertising to the effect that ‘a fool and his money are soon parted’ and so on. It is not our habit to censor our contributors’ opinions, but naturally those who practice the profession of advertising were offended when they got round to reading this. After all, like all people who take their own business seriously, advertisers are extremely sensitive men and women. If one has no met them in real life, one has surely seen them in films. Struggling with that just word or gem-like phrase that makes all the difference between tasty copy and mere copy-tasting. They are well aware that their work is often maligned. Mr. Taplin quotes a sentence from a book on economics by a Professor K.E Boulding: ‘There is a strong presumption that most competitive advertising is a social waste.’…
