Chinese kids that tend to be the best at academics. Chua joins the argument that Western parents obtain a reputation of not being as harsh on their kids for health, schooling, or extra-curricular activities.

believe in the unlimited land and opportunities that awaited us in the West. More importantly, the myth told us that it was our duty and destiny to make this land our own. Paintings of westward expansion, like Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way (1861) by Emanuel Leutze, depicts settlers constantly moving forward, expanding and conquering the wild west. This expansion altered and imposed order onto the landscape of the West. The large “frontier” sign looming over the gas station in Pikes Peak

literary strategies to try and describe this place so close to her heart.

very westernized before the revolution. Indeed, some of the stories that Marji tells from her childhood before the revolution, could come from anyone’s childhood. Satrapi is again using archetypes to close the perceived gap between east and west. The point is that before the revolution, we see Marji and her family in a way that many people of my generation have not.

characters in the novel. While there are many themes to the great Gatsby the most evident themes are lies and deceit. The book the great Gatsby by Fitzgerald utilizes the main characters to show how lying to their friends, family, and to themselves about personal affairs will expose their true
No matter if one is skiing through the slopes of Colorado or in Greece looking over the monuments, there is always a personal effect from any type of movement during the present setting. Whether an individual starts walking a certain way or someone leaves the current presence, personalities often drastically change. As we depict through the words of both Edith Wharton’s, “Roman Fever” and Susan Glaspell’s, “A Jury of Her Peers” we are set to define how movement and the story’s setting interact to
