Summary Of Chapter 5 Of The Blue Sweater By Jacqueline Novogratz

433 Words | 2 Pages

In chapter 5 of The Blue Sweater, which was written by Jacqueline Novogratz, Jacqueline was a good listener who drew my attention. Novogratz explains that the only way to create a good business was to listen to the people who work with you. Jacqueline was ready to learn from the Rwandan women by listening to whatever thing they had to say. “On the other, I began to understand that I could have listened better, for listening is not just having the patience to wait, it is also learning how to ask the questions themselves” (86).in order to make a successful bakery business, she went to a great depth to listen to the African women.

Rikki-Tikki Tavi Culminating Writing Task The narrator ends the story, “Rikki Tikki Tavi” by stating that “Rikki had a right to be proud of himself, but he did not grow too proud”. I disagree with this statement because the story provides multiple examples of Rikkis’ conceited attitude and overblown image of himself.

In 1973, Clifford Geertz- an American anthropologist- authored The Interpretation of Cultures, in which he defines culture as a context that behaviors and processes can be described from. His work, particularly this one, has come to be fundamental in the anthropological field, especially for symbolic anthropology-study of the role of symbols in a society- and an understanding of “thick description”-human behavior described such that it has meaning to an outsider of the community it originated. Alice Goffman is an American sociologist and ethnographer widely-known for her work, On the Run: Fugitive Life in an American City (2015).

Belle By Daniel Jenkins Sparknotes

682 Words | 3 Pages

In the novel Belle, by Beverly Jenkins, it’s very interesting because it gives the readers the first point view of a sixteen year old girl who escaped slavery in Kentucky and travels to Michigan on the Underground Railroad during the Civil War. Belle Palmer is the name of the main character of the story, and her story is how she is trying to find her missing father while trying to figure out her feeling for the handsome and intelligent Daniel Best, who is engaged but isn’t sure if he’s in love his betrothed or not. In my opinion this book is good, but it’s lacking the the development of a teen romance and how they feel towards each other, while dodging the obstacle of Daniel’s parents as well as his cheating betrothed finding out. For the character

Two Kinds By Amy Tan Thesis Statement

2019 Words | 9 Pages

Thesis Statement: In the short story, Two Kinds, Amy Tan develops a narrator who as a child seeks her mother’s approval of her, but develops into a child with her own mind, and by the end of the story embodies a woman who realizes that her mother has her own expression of love for her daughter. Thus, Amy Tan depicts a message about Jing-Mei, the narrator, accepting that everyone, especially her mother, has their own expressions of love. This will look different depending on who a person is and their background.
