"Season Of Migration To The North" - Influence Of Western Education
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Tradition and progress have long at opposite ends of the cultural spectrum, an ongoing struggle that divides entire communities into two distinct groups: those who welcome the changing social and political landscape of cultural advancement and those who see it only as an intruder to a life steeped in tradition. The extent to which Tayeb Salih's Season of Migration to the North exemplifies this struggle is both grand and far-reaching; that his Sudanese protagonist gleans the empowering benefit of Western education only to feel the restraint of traditional African culture speaks to the manner by which this duality is fraught with great resistance. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

"The Kite Runner" - Significance And Importance Of Metaphor
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. To read Kipen (2003) express Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner as lurking a metaphor "so apt and evocative that even the author never fully exploits its power" is to understand the magnitude of the story's symbolism. The very nature of a kite runner is to spot fallen kites after they have been severed by an opponents less-than-ethical tactics of coating the kite string with glue and ground glass. As opposing kites collide, one is bound to fall victim to the slicing effect of the string and be sent catapulting to the ground. Kipen (2003) explains that while the fighter's kite is "swooping and feinting in an effort to rule the skies, his kite-running partner is racing to own the streets, chasing down all their opponents' unmoored, sinking trophies," an illustration of how Hosseini employs it as a metaphor of power and betrayal.
