In the stolen Party by Lilia Heker, uses descriptive language and symbolism to show Rosaura’s emotions. In the Stolen party descriptive language shows itself when she came home and found out that her christmas dress was starched a pretty white. She also mentions that her hair was washed in apple vinegar so it would be shiny. She gave her dress a light toss. This wouldn’t be as effective if it just said” she gave her dress a toss”.

Self-Worth in the Face of Social Abnormality. Self-worth is a universal topic of confidence, value, and holding yourself to human standards.

The Stolen Party highlights the disappointment when self-worth is not reciprocated from others, while Harrison Bergeron finds the idea of confidence and self-value in a world that fears power. In contrast, “All the Troubles of the World” tackles ideas of little self-value when the world dumps its own worries on you.

Regime Parties and Realignments- The topic of party realignment was one that was brought up during lecture. Critical realignment theory has stated that some Presidents have played a larger role in the realignment of their parties. The definition of a critical realignment is when the parties and the issues that are at the forefront of the American attention change. Realignments have often been the result of a pressing issue coming to the forefront of Americas attention and allowing for third parties to arise and challenge the two major parties of that era. They often cause huge strains on the ideology and strength of the party because these issues cause rifts within the party weakening its structure.

In A Thousand Splendid Suns, by Khaled Hosseini, and “Master Harold”...and the boys, by Athol Fugard, alienation is definitely one of the most apparent themes because in both books the main characters are always told that they are “different” like when Mariam is called “harami” and when Sam and Willy are discriminated by Hally. In both of these texts, the main characters are alienated in a way that made them feel so different to the point where it affected their lives because they always felt like they are incapable. In A Thousand Splendid Suns, after Mariam was always called a harami, meaning bastard in Arabic, by Nana, she always thought that this small thing somehow made her incapable of going to school and other simple things in life. In “Master Harold”...and the boys, Sam and Willie, mainly Sam, was always being discriminated by Hally.

This depends on how the characters are treated, and what they are made to feel like they can not do.
