Exploring the works of Native American authors Leslie Marmon Silko, Louise Erdrich, and Sherman Alexie, one finds a rich mix of themes that delve into Native American life and culture.

The protagonist, Ayah, uses natural imagery and Navajo traditions to cope with the loss of her children and husband.
In the following comparative essay I will be discussing the literacy of practices used outside of school for pleasure by comparing and contrasting the reading, writing and digital literacy use of British Asian girls and Welsh girls and how this has influenced or affected their bicultural and bilingual identity using information from an article written by Susan Jones in 2006, as well as information I’ve gained from my lectures and own personal experience. Literacy practices includes everything you read and write. If you are reading and writing for pleasure you are choosing what you want to read or write in your free time. Fry suggests that “what we choose to read, or simply the books we have in our possession, are indices of the ways in which we want to be seen and the ways we see ourselves”(Fry, 1985, p.96). The Welsh girls are more comfortable with reading welsh as the texts are more contemporary in nature compared to the texts which the British-Asian girls read but they still choose to read texts that are English as there is not a large variety of magazines and novels available in Welsh.

In the Basic Concepts article from Siegfried Kracauer, he discusses two different ways of thinking about and making films. He calls these realistic and formative tendencies. These tendencies were modelled after three filmmaking innovators of the 19th century, the Lumiere Brothers and George Melies. While both sides of these filmmaking techniques are vastly different in theory, they share some similarities as well. To further unpack this, it is necessary to learn the history of the filmmakers involved.
Art in different forms of media stands as a way for society to express itself through means that can transcend the period in which a work was created. While it is true that art can be divided into movements and eras that are typically defined by key principles, pieces of art still display similarities and differences that reflect influences from the past and innovations of the future. In this case, a focus will be made on the movements known as Impressionism and Abstract Expressionism. The two chosen works, Summer Scene, Provincetown by Helen Frankenthaler, and Waterlilies by Claude Monet, present similar subjects and styles while being produced in very different contexts.
It was believed that Boccaccio’s Decameron heavily influenced the English poet, Chaucer. There are unique similarities between Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and Boccaccio’s Decameron. Each story told had their views of society, but yet they were able to keep it very entertaining and light on the surface area. The most extraordinary aspect of Boccaccio and Chaucer’s writing was how they were able to incorporate so many similar controversial themes and characters in their stories. The first theme that showed similarities in each story was greed.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, written in 1813, is a novel written about a family with daughters encouraging them to marry rich because they do not have wealth, but one daughter refuses. A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen, written in 1879, is a play written about women’s rights, and what they were aloud to do in the time period. These two interestingly different readings also have similarities, such as, the society and the gender relations. The Victorian era took place from 1837 to 1901, and was a time of British History. English novelists who wrote romantic books in a conservative way, like the Victorian era, wrote Pride and Prejudice.

Every work of literature that represents a society has a way of presenting a unique thing about such a society. In the Ramayana and Iliad poems, the two societies are presented with different and unique characteristics that help in holding the community together. It is in these units that a family is established. The two societies have different families that represent different family dynamics that the writers intended the readers to get. Families are the systems through which different communities use to hold themselves together and they differ from one community to another.
In addition, the coffee mogul offers free giveaways as well as provides a collaborative environment for its growing consumer base. Starbuck’s socal media marketing campaign increased brand awareness while Dove’s social media marketing campains attempted to humanize the brand.
