The fear felt is undoubtedly universal‚ however‚ the ways in which it is dealt with are varied and diverse. The concept of human mortality and

Particular attention will be paid to the role played by the muchachos within the ‘society’ of the rubber stations and how their function in the society is essential in maintaining the power hierarchy through terror. Throughout my argument I will also draw parallels between Taussig’s work and Nancy Scheper-Hughes ethnography Death Without Weeping: The Violence of Everyday Life in Brazil.

When I read Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Colombian novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez for the first time‚ I was initially not impressed by the book. I found the story to be uninteresting and predictable‚ like something that came from a Spanish soap opera. After reading the first few pages of the book‚ I already deduced that the man who was murdered in the story was the result of a marriage gone horribly wrong because the bride was not a virgin. That a bride who loses her virginity before marriage

Whether you are a fan of autobiographies or not‚
