  • Comparing The Cajuns: A People's Story Of Exile And Triumph

    1905 Words  | 8 Pages

    The book I chose to write about is The Cajuns: A People’s Story of Exile and Triumph. A lengthy title, and an even lengthier tale, it goes into the journey of the Acadians and how they survived their ordeals and thrived. The author, Dean Jobb, goes into great detail and engaging storytelling to capture their essence. Our story starts with a glimpse of the deportation, but as we turn the pages the author goes into the landscape of what Acadia was and how the name came to be. Dean Jobbs tends to interchange the perspective he uses to change up the pace of the story.

    Depression isn’t typically something that is capable of being physically seen. Those who have it might show signs, but it requires a lot for someone to look into them, and discover what that person is going through. In the novel Speak written by Laurie Halse Anderson, symbolism is used to develop an unspoken theme of depression. This is done so through the janitor’s closet, the turkey sculpture, and the constant mentioning of trees. Depression can cause people to alienate themselves and their thoughts from others.

  • Summary Of Sometimes Gladness By Bruce Dawe

    139 Words  | 1 Pages

    ‘Sometimes Gladness’, a collection of poems by Bruce Dawe mention a variety of references to Australian culture; although often looked over by the reader. Without the use of stereotypical behaviours or even language known universally, the naming of certain places known to Australia in ‘Drifters’ and ‘Revire of a swimmer’ gets muddled with the overall message of the poems. Moreover, even when Australian slang is incorporated into the poem, a larger audience can relate to what is being said; as Dawe relies on universally issues to form the backbone of his poetry, especially in ‘Homecoming’ and ‘Life-Cycle’. Lastly, a distinct Australian poem would only be expected to explore issues relating to the countries individual culture or issues, though

    An individual’s life is truly successful and healthy when they are determined to follow their desires which pay back with happiness and satisfaction. However, some individuals describe life as a curse due to being restrained from pursuing their interests, thus being unhappy with life; in other words, compromising their happiness.
