For example‚ in Bessie Head’s “The Prisoner Who Wore Glasses‚” you see a man who fights for what he believes the prisoners deserve‚ but at the same time doesn’t take advantage of the knowledge he holds. Had he not stood up and fought‚ he would have been on the path to suicide and the other prisoners would continue to be bossed around unfairly.

    blood‚ tears‚ and oppression‚ but most Americans are oblivious to this fact and often ignore the struggles faced by Native Americans today.

Cultural perspective is viewing a situation through the eyes of the individual’s native environment

    In “The Prisoner Who Wore Glasses” by Bessie Head‚ one reason the warders are intimidated by the political prisoners is because their actions were not justified by their morals. These prisoners were constantly fighting for what they wanted‚ and they‚ “felt no guilt nor were outcasts of society” (Head 127). This quote shows that the prisoners do not feel guilty for disrespecting and intimidating the warders. The prisoners act out from time to time‚ and intentionally impose their beliefs on the warders

    Chekov wrote “The Cherry Orchard” and “Lady with the Dog” these two stories are different but also similar. There are two similar themes in these stories; love and society. The theme of love in the “Cherry Orchard” is represented by the fact that Lubov and Gaev loved the cherry orchard and the memories and did not want to sell‚ even to clear the family’s debt. When the idea of clearing the lot for summer homes is brought up they can’t even stomach the idea. Looking out at the orchard brings back

    In the book‚ Prisoner B-3087‚ the main character‚ Yanek‚ is a smart‚ creative person who wants to work in movies.

    I do think that inmates who behave in prison and stay infraction free should be transferred to minimum-security prison. As Santos describes toward the end of his book‚ people respond to incentives more than threats it makes more sense to reward them by sending them to minimum security prisons. I do think that this should apply to those who commit violent crimes‚ such as Crip Tank and Frank. Frank was brought in for running one of the largest drug distributions in his small town. Once he was brought

    characterization in Chekhov and Oates’s different versions of "The Lady with the Pet Dog" are evident‚ the purpose only becomes clear for the reader when the two versions are read and compared. The stories have different settings‚ but the characters in the story remain the same. There is Anna‚ Dmitry‚ and their families.
