A world is a group of people or countries that coexist together. Word make worlds; people communicate, form alliances and survive together. These books have a unique set of world and people. It has been evident in how individuals ta their ways into forming partnerships and adapting in different environments. Although these books have a different setting, they all explain a similar and common world that applies to the current Century.
The book How to tame a wild tongue, Loss of Family Languages: Should Educators Be Concerned, and The Outsiders Explains the relationship between American societies and immigrants. The books clearly illustrate how communication is the pillar of a good relationship. From the book, using a character, the author illustrates how an immigrant can suffer because he could not pass information. Immigrants end up having low-quality education because they cannot ask questions in class, or they cannot understand what is being thought in class. This is a significant challenge in our current society. I feel that the author is correct to state that immigrants should first learn English before interacting with others in the class.
In these books, a rational and dependent world is built. People depend on each other for survival. Therefore, without good relations or communication, people can bot live in this world. I agree with the author that our world is rational and dependent. From the books Should Educators be Concerned and The Outsiders, it explains how immigrants have a problem in settling in America. It is hard to adapt to a new society; we can only do that through the help of other community members.
Rules are made in every society; this includes their norms and virtues. From these books, rules are clearly stated. The authors explain that rules are what makes a community complete; without them, people will be unable to live together in peace. In the book Ways of Reading: An Anthology for Writers, How to Read a Dress: a Guide to Changing Fashion from the 16th to the 20th Century, and Hope in a Jar: The Making of America’s Beauty Culture The authors focus on culture and evolution from the 16th Century to the 20th Century. Women’s Fashion is seen to have been important; it was well preserved. From different characters in the story, it is evident how women were not allowed to wear different clothes or different face wear. I agree with the authors that rules are amongst the things that led to cultural evolution in the united states.
The world created by these writers is the one with high dependency; it is well known as the ancient world. This is the world that men were considered more superior to women; gender equality was not a rule. However, technology was not advanced; this was a major problem because it is evident that the characters struggled to survive in that generation. The writers clearly bring up the issue of survival through dependency as it was hard for individuals to survive on their own in this world.
In the world created by the authors, people lived happily with prober communication and good relations. However, it was evident that different characters struggled to cope with the tight rules and the new environment and society. Therefore, even though the world is full of humour, I would not like to live in such a world. This is because of the harsh conditions and the low standards of living. People were fully dependent on their colleagues, unlike the current world.
