What I Miss about My Native Country
What I Miss about my Native Country

When I hear someone says Iraq, I will miss everything in Iraq because I cannot forget my beautiful country. Iraq is everything for me. When someone tell me why you miss your country because your country is very dangers right now. I tell her/him that I will not stop missing my country because I grow up there, and I spent all my life there. Iraq was really beautiful country before the war, but after that everything changed, and they destroyed everything, but it is still my everything, but now everything back to normal, and I wish Iraq will stay good and become better. Also, I miss everything there such as family, traditions, and food. I miss all my cousins, and every time I think about them and about the time we spent together, I felt very sad. The life in the United States is very different from my country because Iraq has very beautiful rivers, and we have different traditions. I miss our traditions. For instance, I miss the Eid in Iraq because we spent our Eid in my cousins’ house and in the restaurants. Also, I miss the food so much because I do not like the food here because it is very different from Iraq. Our food is very delicious that we make in our houses. Also, I miss my best friends a lot, they are like my sisters. I still talk with them, but that does not mean that I do not miss them. I hope I will visit Iraq very soon because I really miss everything there.

    Good Country People is currently in third person perspective; the story would be a very different in tone and characteristics if written in Hulga’s perspective. At first reading Good Country People it is from the narrator’s point of view allowing you to understand everything that is going on with out the characters forcing a bias feeling or thought towards someone else. This objective type of writing allows the reader to think more about what they feel and interpret the information their way but looking at it through a character’s eyes you could see other sides. I think that looking through Hulga’s eye you would get a different tone and characteristics of another character. We would get a more irritated or disliked tone towards her mother.…

    I love America because it is a free nation. I can say what I please, do what I please, and believe in what I please. I can own a firearm. The food here is amazing, all sorts of different kinds of food. The military here isn’t what it used to be but it is still one of the best in the world.

    As a foreigner, I have had to adapt to the changes that come with moving to a new country. At the tender age of four years old, my mother was the first of the family to come from Kenya to the United States. She moved here to build a better life for our family. About a year later, it became apparent my father would not be joining us here; by the end of 2004, lung cancer had taken my father from my family. The passing of my father was, by far, the most difficult experience I have ever had, however it has only made me more capable of moving on from hardships. I vividly remember the tears in my mother’s eyes as she picked us up from the airport after we had been separated from her for several months while we stayed with an aunt.…

    In the opening passage of Paton’s novel Cry, the Beloved Country, he shows us the beauty of South Africa through multiple biblical allusions with the majestic mountains, rolling hills, and low desolate valleys. Under all this beauty, the corruption of man comes to surface and destroys Gods’ perfect creation. The underlying meaning of this passage when broken down speaks of morals and how a persons’ take of society affects their moral character. With the use of biblical allusions and syntactical patterns beautifully woven together, the clear picture of how morals affect a person is shown.…

However, the theme that best shapes the novel is social breakdown and racial injustice in the community. One of the novel's messages is that "inequality in human rights, living conditions, and personal empowerment based on racial or ethnic differences are unjust and ultimately intolerable (Putnam 1). The novel accurately points out the racial and social injustice between the white farm owners and black workers, which in turn leads to the social breakdown of the community.…
