As the sun rose above the horizon, Shristi woke up from her bed rubbing her eyes. Looking out of the window Shristi had experienced that it was a beautiful sunny day, on this rainy season when it was even hard to see the sun in West Bengal. It was a perfect day for hunting. Shristi was a 20 -22 year old girl. She had pinkish cheeks, medium height and fair girl. So she called her friend Wayne so that they can go together for hunting. Wayne was an excellent hunter. He was tall, fair and had a small brown bear near his chin. They were hunting together for years. In the afternoon Shristi reached at the desired spot at the right time but like every time he was again late. Shristi waited & waited till she saw him & someone coming towards her. She was much angry upon him, as he never arrived on time. When Wayne entered he saw how much she was angry on him. He said, “I’m very sorry, Shristi. Aryan made me late, it isn’t my fault.””Wayne you are always the same even it’s your mistake you would never agree it. In fact who is he?” Shristi said.
“Oh! I’m forgotten to introduce you to my brother Aryan. Aryan is here with me on holidays. Can he too come with us Shristi?”“It would be great, to have someone new with us Hi, I am Shristi.”
“Hello I’m Aryan. Glad to meet you Shristi. It would be a great adventure.”She was pleased to met him and have him with them. He was funny young man with curly brown hair, brown eyeballs, tall but not as much as Wayne. Then they proceeded to great Sunderban forest in west Bengal. The three had heard lots about the fauna and flora of that place. Thus they hired horses to go toward the forest. Riding on the horses, chatting with them the three hunters entered the evergreen Sunderban forest. They all had their hunting arms, food items and other equipments with them. The forest was dark, cool, and marshy and covered with sunderi mangroves. As they moved deeper, the darkness in the forest increased. It seemed as they were in an enclosed

    Venkat Rao, from “forty-five a month”, regrets that he is unable to spend time with his family; especially his daughter Shanta. Due to his job, however, there is nothing he can do to remedy this because he needs the money in order to provide them with the necessities of life. Venkat Rao promises to take Shanta to the movies after work since he has not spent time with her in a long time. Shanta “insisted on wearing the thinnest frock and knickers, while her mother wanted to dress her in a long skirt and thick coat” (53) because she wanted to look her best for her father. When his manager does not allow Venkat Rao to leave work on time to take Shanta to the movies, he is determined to quit, believing that [he wasn’t a slave who had sold himself for forty rupees” (55). When he goes to hand in his letter of resignation, however, his manager tells him that he will be getting a raise.

    Gurinder Chadha has used dialogue to show the difference posed by opposing cultures. And most particular, Jesminder Bhamra (or ‘Jess’ as she is commonly known), is made to overcome the complications of wanting to both appease her traditional Sikh family, and her constant internal struggle as she tries to achieve her goal of becoming a football player, like her idol David Beckham. Gurinder Chadha’s dialogue is used to show the resistance Jess has to face, as she battles against what her family’s tradition asks of her, like cooking and learning how to become the ideal Indian wife, and the opposition that Jess has to overcome in the form of her disapproving parents.…

    On Chapter 4, Paragraph 9 “For by now, he's come to hate questions pertaining to his name, hates having constantly to explain. He hates having to tell people that it doesn't mean anything "in Indian." ” It shows that unlike other people he doesn't think his culture is the most important thing in this world. He hates the questions. The poverty that everyone seems to ask about. He hates people assuming that he knows everything about India simply because his own parents are Indian, to him it’s not that way, it barely is. Deep down to him he’s more American than he’ll ever be Indian. On chapter six, paragraph 140 it states “And then he remembers that his parents can't possibly reach him: he has not given them the number, and the Ratliffs are unlisted. That here at Maxine's side, in this cloistered wilderness, he is free.” Never really proud of his background, of his heritage, wasn’t content with the people he was surrounded with. Which lead him to be embarrassed if his own parents and his bengali family members. He always tried his best to be as far away from his parents, even from the several memories of his childhood. He would change his priorities, letting people he just met be at the top of his list, than his own parent and…

    Our Town

    The play “Our Town” explores the lives of people (primarily two families) living in a small and quiet American town in the 1900’s. In the first act entitled “Daily life”, the narrator did a good job of guiding the audience’s imagination to set up the ideas of a town in the early 1900’s. The lighting and sound cues made that very successful. The lighting was on cue and was very good at setting the scenes (i.e. brighter for morning sunrise). Realistic sets and props were minimal but, the performers pantomimed the majority of the play. The performers did a good job of conveying the imagery use of cooking, opening doors, and eating food. The performers were so believable that your imagination wasn’t very hard to use because things came to sight as if it was really on stage. The costumes of the performers set the age of the play and made you believe that you were in an earlier day and age. In act one, you follow the lives of the Gibbs family and the Webb family. Dr. Gibbs appears hardworking and is soft-spoken. Mrs. Gibbs is good in portraying that her husband is overworked and should take a vacation. Rebecca is George’s little sister. George seems scared or nervous in the delivery of his lines. There is many long pauses before he speaks as if he has forgotten his lines. He wasn’t enthusiastic at all. George seems not to understand or express the character's motivation. In the Webb family, Mr. Webb is great in the delivery of his lines. Mrs. Webb portrays a strict but loving mother. Emily Webb their daughter is very bright and hopeful. Wally Webb is her younger brother. When Emily and George are talking to each other at their windows, he seems to forget his words. Without a stellar Emily, the emotional potential is lost. The cast seems as if it was dead before act three of the funeral. Act two is about love and marriage. This scene reflects the love between George and Emily. In act two, Emily rises as the star of the play. She is very clear in her words and motivated.…

    The next time I saw him it was a dark and stormy night. I had walked in the rain along Luxford Road to the station, my hair dripping wet and my ugg boots a little damp. He climbed out of his mates’ Tarago van wearing his best gear, white Canterb...ury pants and a Henley hoodie. We locked eyes as the van drove off and I was already thinking about how he would remove my Supre top. He always had the sweetest things to say like how pretty I looked with my smudged blue eyeshadow, what an awesome chic I was and that I was far better than his last two roots. We slid quietly underneath the platform stairwell, carelessly kicking an empty goon sac out of our way. Only a few Indian men on their way to work passed us by unnoticed. The sound of syringes jangling together in his pocket was like sweet music as the smell of Tabu and crystal meth filled the air. After we were done I made several promises, and even though the children might not all belong to him, we would fill our dream…

    Our Town

    In the play "Our Town", by Thornton Wilder, a character by the name of Simon Stimson makes a very insightful statement about people and their lives. Simon is dead and buried, as well as several of the play's other characters, when a newly-dead young woman named Emily joins their ranks and begins to realize the triviality and ignorance of her existence, as well as that of every living person. The dead are discussing this insignificance and unawareness of the living when Simon comments with disgust on how much living persons waste their life, asserting, "To spend and waste time as though you had a million years." In this statement, Simon is referring to the degree of which people take their lives for granted. People are often so busy and so consumed by relatively minor matters that they never stopped to realize how truly special everything is. They go about their days following strict schedules and routines, always rushing about to meet their many obligations, and never take the time to simply cherish even the small things. Most people wake-up in the morning, rush about to leave for school or their jobs, work or learn all day, only to come home and have yet more obligations to take care of, never once taking time out to stop and enjoy things for themselves. Simon is referring to the daily routines and events the consume people's lives as a waste of time, for they do not realize how genuinely short their lives are. Simon is upset with people for never taking time to admire the beauty that surrounds their lives, never cherishing the time they have with others, and even being ignorant of life's small pleasures, such as fresh clothes and hot baths. People live their lives working towards something they think will always be attainable, setting their eyes on the future, living for the future, rushing for the future, and ignoring the present. With "Our Town", Thornton Wilder is attempting to show us these faults and trying to persuade us to live in and for the…

The rays of the sun were beginning to grow less fierce, and the intense heat of the day was lessened, as the cooler vapours of the springs and fountains rose above their leafy beds, and rested in the atmosphere” (1003).…

    Being the son of two immigrants in America, I never felt that I was a true “American” or a true “Indian.” Being brought to America at six months of age, I never got to experience the culture that my parents had been raised in. I was living two lifestyles, half day American and the second half, when I got home from school, I lived an Indian lifestyle. At home, I spoke Hindi but at school, I was being taught a whole new language, English. Having these differences I did not realize how unique I was; I realized that many of my friends cannot fluently speak another language; speaking in Hindi and not having to worry if someone was gonna hear me was a hidden benefit I never realized I had. Being even partially part of two cultures gave me different experiences that just one culture would not have. Some people take their differences as a negative thing; I, on the other hand, have…
