So they took it wi­t­hout as­king the black na­ti­ves. They we­re con­side­red pri­mi­ti­ve and so they we­re sim­ply igno­red from the Bri­tish sett­lers. When the white sett­lers in search of pas­tu­res fields for their hu­ge herds of catt­le mo­re and mo­re in­to the back coun­try in­va­ded, they dro­ve the na­ti­ves in the 19th Cen­tu­ry from the land they had in­he­ri­ted from their an­ces­tors. It was the worst for them what they had be­en ab­le to hap­pen be­cau­se this coun­try was back home, the cen­tral fo­cus of their iden­ti­ty. This re­fe­rence point was the­r­e­fo­re ta­ken them, but al­so their food sources we­re thus lost. This ruthl­ess ap­proach laid the foun­da­ti­on for the Bri­tish hat­red and mis­trust.

The Storm by Kate Chopin: An Analytical Essay on Adultery
769 Words / ~2½ pages Georgia Perimeter College Atlanta Ga. Wil­liam SamMs. De­mar­coENGL 1102-0278 Ju­ly 2012The Storm TheS­torm is a short sto­ry writ­ten by Ka­te Cho­pin. By de­fi­ni­ti­on a storm is avio­lent dis­tur­ban­ce of the at­mo­sphe­re wi­th strong winds and usual­ly rain,thun­der, light­ning, or snow. It’s safe to say that in Cho­pin’s short sto­ry “TheS­torm” that de­fi­ni­ti­on de­scri­bes the sto­ry per­fect­ly. Cho­pin sto­ry de­picts apas­si­on­less mar­ria­ge that was over ta­ken by lust on a stor­my sum­mer day. Thesto­ry de­picts an adul­te­rous re­la­ti­onship that two for­mer lo­vers, Ca­lix­ta an­dAl­cee La­bal­lie­re have du­ring a tre­men­dous thun­der­storm. When Al­cee must ta­kes­hel­ter in Ca­lix­ta’s house du­ring an on­co­ming storm the two for­mer fri­ends ma­kel­ove. As the storm grows stron­ger so does their pas­si­on.

Is this a re­sult of his own ac­tions, or are his ac­tions a re­sult of this lack of ac­cep­tance? Jo­sé Na­vi­dad is a very am­bi­va­lent cha­rac­ter. In T. C. Boyl­es no­vel “The Tor­til­la Curtain”, he plays a mi­nor ro­le. Though, he has a cer­tain im­pact on bo­th the Moss­ba­chers and the Rin­cóns sto­ry-li­nes.
