Haroun and the sea of Stories is a novel that teaches the power of love. So far, the story has revolved around love; the love between Soraya, Rashid and Haroun. In chapter two, Rashid was quite melancholy and no longer able to tell stories because his beloved wife had left. Without love, nothing else mattered to him, not even his stories. Since it was election time, Rashid had been invited to speak in the Valley of K in order to convince everyone to vote for Buttoo. It had been arranged for Rashid and Haroun to stay in a beautiful swan boat, but Rashid appeared to be upset so Snooty Buttoo questioned if he was unsatisfied with the arrangement. Rashid replied, “Sir, not so. This is an affair of the heart” (Rushdie 43). Rashid has almost everything, …show more content…

This event from Haroun and the Sea of Stories reminds me of an event that occurred in the book The Key to Rondo. In this novel, the evil, Blue Queen captures Mimi’s dog, Mutt, and brought him back to Rondo as a hostage to lure Mimi and Leo Langlander into the world of Rondo. In Haroun and the Sea of Stories, Khattum- Shud imprisons the Princess in order to lure the Guppees to the Land of Chup. Both Khattum-Shud and the Blue Queen captured their hostages to use as bait. Both scenarios were also results from braking a rule. In The Key to Rondo, the music box that Leo Langlander received came with three rules. The first was to never spin the key more than times. When Mimi Langlander came to visit her cousin, she broke the first rule by winding the music box key four times, letting the Blue Queen loose. In Haroun and the Sea of Stories, Princess Batcheat’s capture was a result of her breaking a rule as well. The Guppees are not allowed to enter the twilight zone because it is unsafe since in is so close to the Land of Chup. Princess Batcheat broke this rule by entering the twilight zone to see the stars and feel the invisible Chattergy wall. Both Haroun and the Sea of Stories and The key to Rondo had a character who broke a rule forcing everyone to suffer the

The exclusionary rule was first established in the case of Weeks v. United States in 1914. During the trial, the Supreme Court ruled that the evidence obtained by the law enforcement officer was in violation of the Fourth Amendment and will be inadmissible in federal courts. This rule later became effective in the state courts in 1961 due to the unlawful search of Mrs. Mapp’s house in the case of Mapp v. Ohio. As a result of this case, Mrs. Mapp was convicted for possession of obscene materials but later argued that the law enforcement officer could not use the materials in the trial because they were obtained without a warrant. Although the exclusionary rule is not an independent constitutional right, it serves many purposes such as aiding in the deterrence of police misconduct and providing solutions to defendants whose

In the 2004 film Mean Girls, Cady Heron walks into her first day at a new high school without introductions or proper instructions on how to be a regular American teen — needless to say she is completely lost. Comparatively, if Cady was a newly hired employee and was not given the proper orientation she would encounter an array of problems including difficulty adjusting to the new environment. Fortunately, new members of an organization are given training and are expected to be familiarized with their work environments through orientation. One of the first instances of ‘rule-breaking’ identified in the film can be seen when Cady mistakenly tries to leave class to go to the washroom without her mandatory lavatory pass. In order for cases of

He resists for Amir whom he loves with his whole heart. Amir witnesses this struggle, but he does nothing; he runs away since “he was just a Hazara, wasn’t he?” (Hosseini 77). Amir has always believed, deep down, that his father favored Hassan, a Hazara, the dirt of Afghan society, over him, his own son. Seeing Hassan reduced to that level of baseness is perversely satisfying for him.

When a love story is told in a first-person perspective, it makes sense for the readers to expect an overly dramatic and emotional narrative. James Joyce’s “Araby” and T. S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” are both love experiences written in first-person perspectives. However, in “Araby”, the boy occasionally assumes a somewhat detached attitude in his narration and in “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”, Prufrock sings his love song in a dry, passive manner. When the boy in “Araby” explains about the name of the girl he fell in love with, he says “her name was like a summons to all my foolish blood” (2169). Although this statement might sound passionate, identifying his love-evoked reaction as foolishness and not providing the readers with the girl’s name expresses the boy’s current state of
