Wang And His Son Analysis

167 Words1 Page

All in all, Lung’s sons are very greedy and do not understand the real aspect of their lives and traditions they were born into. As one of the most famous presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt said “Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.” In the novel Wang 's eldest son thought having the possession of money was the most valuable thing in the world and thought the universe revolved around it. Wang and his sons do not have the same values and that is not good for his sons because Wang has good values for his tradition and to make sure the next generation is stable to live like he did. But his sons do not care about anyone but themselves and all they do is what is best

  • The Fortunes Of Wangrin Summary

    Amadou Hampaté Bâ is extremely detailed throughout the book, The Fortunes of Wangrin, in explaining the colonial world in West African societies. He provides multiple examples in this work of fiction that precisely describe the factual aspects of African colonialism that we have discussed in class. I will point out a few of the examples that Bâ uses such as: limitations colonial governments set on Africans, the Métis relationships within colonies, and issues that arose, not only between Europeans and Africans, but within the native African communities as well. I will then point out certain details from the book that do not perfectly reflect the components of colonialism that we have studied in lecture.

  • Zheng He Analysis

    842 Words  | 4 Pages

    For a brief time in world history, China dominated maritime exploration. Even though quite unintentionally, a previous century’s invention of the magnetic compass played a pivotal and facilitating role and provided Chinese sailors a two-hundred-year head start over their European counterparts. However, it was not until blending those navigational advancements of the day, together with nautical technologies of shipbuilding architecture and propulsion found China readily thrust to the forefront. Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty desired to leverage those technologies to construct an immense armada attesting to the court’s military prowess. Supported by a backdrop of politically favorable winds and a generous endowment, the Emperor commissioned the undertaking of explorations to an experienced Admiral named Zheng He.

    This is proof that human capital is necessary to obtain financial capital, and financial capital is necessary to lead a successful life. In this anecdote, Stein explains that the financial capital earned in the previous generation allowed him and his sister to get educations and convert it to savings. A domino effect is evident: As the financial capital increases with generations, human capital can be earned in greater abundance and converted to more money. The son, learning that he is "the first member of the family to grow up in luxury," will be inclined to do more to save money and acquire capital for himself and future generations. The boy is representative of the American people and the relatability is strong.

  • Yin Chin Analysis

    1465 Words  | 6 Pages

    The Ripple Effect of Ignorance - Yin Chin Maracle chooses to display the ripple effect of racism by shedding light on the unjust treatment of the First Nations and Chinese people by writing a story of a First Nation who grew up in a mixed neighborhood that is flooded with prejudice and stereotypes. Maracle further challenges the recurring stereotypes of societal views of minority groups by addressing them through the speaker’s point of view. While sounding like a stereotypical Chinese name or word, the title “Yin Chin” stems from the related sounding word Injun, a way to describe a stereotypical First Nations man or woman who is a “savage warrior” (Churchill 1998). The word dates back to the early settlement of English colonists as a way

  • A Story By Li-Young Lee Analysis

    883 Words  | 4 Pages

    Stories are the foundation of relationships. They represent the shared lessons, the memories, and the feelings between people. But often times, those stories are mistakenly left unspoken; often times, the weight of the impending future mutes the stories, and what remains is nothing more than self-destructive questions and emotions that “add up to silence” (Lee. 23). In “A Story” by Li-Young Lee, Lee uses economic imagery of the transient present and the inevitable and fear-igniting future, a third person omniscient point of view that shifts between the father’s and son’s perspective and between the present and future, and emotional diction to depict the undying love between a father and a son shadowed by the fear of change and to illuminate the damage caused by silence and the differences between childhood and adulthood perception. “A Story” is essentially a pencil sketch of the juxtaposition between the father’s biggest fear and the beautiful present he is unable to enjoy.
