The integrated theme in Stella by EmericBergeaud, the Dew Breaker by Edwin Struggle for Freedom. Stella, first published in 1859, is an imaginative retelling of Haiti’s fight for independence from slavery and French colonialism. Set during the years of the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804), Stella tells the story of two brothers, Romulus and Remus, who help transform their homeland from the French colony of Saint Dominguez to the independent republic of Haiti. Romulus and Remus are symbolic, they show a new beginning of a new city called Rome (Bergeaud, p.50). The two names show division, differences and disparities between the two. The brothers quarreled over the location of the foundation of their new city; Romulus wished to start the city on the Palatine Hill, while Remus wished to found it on the Aventine Hill. In order to settle their disagreement, they agreed to consult augury; augury is a type of prophecy in which birds are examined and observed to determine what actions or persons the gods favor. Each brother prepared a sacred space on their respective hills and began to watch for birds.…
The Book of the Dead Throughout her childhood and into her adulthood, Ka was under the impression that her father was a part of the oppressed citizens of Haiti. Little did she know, her dad was a member of the Tonton Macoutes. He fled Haiti to come to Ka because he was involvement in the army. Prior to learning this, Ka had carved a sculpture of her father out of wood and was going to sell it to any buyer. The sculpture in itself acts as a symbol of her father’s current and former life.

Lost Generation Character Comparison The Lost Generation is the work of a group of writers, musicians, and poets in Paris during the 1920s. Their works are characterized by similar themes, such as disillusionment of societies in the Post World War I, loss of tradition and identity, and uncertainty of the future. The writings reveal how the beginning of 1900 was a tumultuous time for America and how the turn of the century was influenced by an increase in social, cultural shifts, industrialization and rapid economic change, something that is not known to the new millennium. According to various writers, this generation was lost because its inherited values were no longer relevant in the post-Word War. Multiple characters in Lost Generation share various similarities and differences. The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and Hawkshaw, the barber of Dry September, are two different writings that reveal two characters who are acting differently to showcase social values that are opposing. Prufrock is the lyrical speaker in The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. According to the author, he is an eponymous narrator…
patient advocacy and its importance in providing health care to patients Introduction The article, “Developing a mid-range theory of patient advocacy through concept analysis” by Bu and Jezewski (2017) is a report of a study conducted about patient advocacy and its importance to nurses and patients (Bu & Jezewski, 2007). The authors say that the topic of patient advocacy has achieved significant popularity over the past three decades. Its impacts on improving the quality of care and patient outcomes have also been significant over the stated period. However, the topic lacks a consistent definition, something that can only be achieved through research. For that reason, the authors call for more studies to come up with a more comprehensive description of patient advocacy in a bid to improve its application in providing care to patients (Bu & Jezewski, 2007). Bu and Jezewski found a mid-range theory of patient advocacy by analyzing pieces of literature related to advocacy (Bu & Jezewski, 2007). They identified several characteristics of patient advocacy, which included supporting and defending social justice in the provision of healthcare, acting…

Walmart Vs. Amazon.com What are the essential details of the event, and what do you see as the causes of the crisis and/or negative impact to society? Both Walmart and Amazon.com had risen to eminence in their distinct spheres. However, as they expanded into overlapping sectors, they started seeing each other as competitors. Walmart had specialized and mastered the retail business of brick and mortar characterized by a first and straightforward website that consisted of an electronic shopping cart and a list of product categories offered by the company. With little online presence, the company recognized the significance of developing a stronger online presence to combat the encroachment of Amazon.com in the retail sphere that Walmart had dominated for decades. Walmart saw online business as the expansion of its physical retail stores and dominating the market. Amazon, on the other hand, started an online business in 1995 and focused on providing its customers increased selection of novels at a smaller cost (Dyer, Godfrey, Jensen, & Bryce, 2017). At the time when Amazon.com was venturing on online business, Walmart’s only worry…

Annotated Bibliography (Literature and Nature) Akwanya, Amechi N. “Literature and the Possibilities of Language Function.” Journal of Studies in Social Sciences 11.2 (2015). The journal highlights the impact of human activities on language and functions used in communication. According to this article, communication is identified as the critical factor that influences language and patterns in a social set up. There are several findings from the article. First, it establishes the fact that communication has an impact on language function. For example, the high level of communication may reduce functions to forms of communication (Akwanya & Amechi, 233). Secondly, communication can also make language to function on some level of transparency and anonymity, making it a serious discussion within linguistic scholars. Thus, communication and language can be discussed as one theme in literature. However, according to the authors, it is vital to determine the impact of literature on both communication and language. The paper is vital for this topic since it analyzes various aspects of language or communication and how writing affects them. Buell, Lawrence, Ursula K. Heise, and Karen Thornber. “Literature and…
