In Joel Chandler Harris’s “The Tar-Baby” Uncle Remus is depicted as an old southern man who is used as a storyteller who tells children folktales. The use of dialect is representative of the characters and their cultures. Reading this story can be challenging due to the African American dialect but listening to the audio helps.

should not have to suffer through the harassment of people saying how it’s inappropriate because it is healthy, natural, and legal.

BINTRODUCTION Breastfeeding is feeding of an infant or a baby with milk extracted from the breast rather than consuming instant milk, Marie Bianouzzo( 2000). It is an unequalled way of providing ideal food for the health growth and development of a baby.

worry about the baby pooping at all during the day. These Beng babies from sub-Saharan Africa spend most of the day attached to someone’s back. The Beng society, unlike traditional Chinese society, think that all feces is disgusting and are repulsed by the thought of a baby pooping on someone’s back. Therefore, no caregiver would take care of a child likely to poop on her back. The mothers usually are working in the fields all day to produce crops while the caregivers keep their babies. Hence, starting

Released in 1994, The Shawshank Redemption is a crime and drama filled movie under the direction of Mr. Frank Darabont. The Shawshank Redemption is one of the best movies I have watched in my 19 years of life. This exceptional movie displays many life lessons through out.

The remark implies that a guy who spends a long time imprisoned will become so accustomed to living under oppression

Light played a major role in the Shawshank Redemption. Both author Stephen King and director Frank Darabont use light to depict the emotions of the characters. Early in the novel, Andy helps Hadley with his inheritance, and in return, Hadley supplied beer to the convicts.
