The community that I am going to talk about is Nanaimo. Nanaimo is located on the east coast of Vancouver Island, BC Canada, 113 km north of Victoria and 23 km west of Vancouver across the Straight of Georgia. It has the specific coordinates of 49o 09’ 51” N and 123o 56’ 11” W. Nanaimo has various names. The first visitors from Spain called it Winthuysen Inslet or Boca de Winthuysen after the Spanish explorer. The first English settlers called it Colville Town after Andrew Collville, governor of the Hudson Bay Company. The HBC established a fortified post in 1849 and discovered coal in 1852 which led to a permanent settlement. The building of the Bastion occurred in 1853. The city was incorporated in 1874.After coal mining peaked in the 1920s, forestry and the pulp and paper industry replaced it. The aboriginal Salish who lived here called it Snuneymuxm which meant gathering place. The name Nanaimo was the English corrupted version of the Salish name. It is called the Hub City or Harbour City because of where it is located. It also has the unique distinction of being the Bathtub Rac...

As a child, Lena was always kept away from strangers by her mother, fueling her curiosity and imagination. In order to keep the “bad man” from planting babies in Lena, her mother had barricaded the door to the basement and told her not to enter. However, Lena’s curiosity finally enabled her to pry open the door, but she fell into a dark chasm. When she is rescued by her mother, she said “…after that I began to see terrible things. I saw these things with my Chinese eyes, the part of me I got from my mother.” (103) Lena completely overlooked the warnings that were presented to her by an authority figure, her mom. Her mom constantly reminded her of the terrible events that could happen, but Lena felt she was so separated from the world she lived in that she became very curious. She wanted to see the world veiled by her mother’s restrictions, and even face danger she was always kept way from. As a result, she suffered the consequences of seeing everyth...

Early in the film , a psychologist is called in to treat the troubled child :and she calmed the mother with a statement to the effect that, “ These things come and go but they are unexplainable”. This juncture of the film is a starting point for one of the central themes of the film which is : how a fragile family unit is besieged by unusual forces both natural and supernatural which breaks and possesses and unites with the morally challenged father while the mother and the child through their innocence, love, and honesty triumph over these forces.
Are humans the products of nature, or are they products of the way that they are nurtured? Do human genes dictate the kind of person that one becomes? These are some of the questions that have continued to plague humanity. These questions have given psychologists, philosophers and scientists’ material in which to work with. Willa Cather in her short story Paul’s Case tries to answer some of these questions in a skillful way. However, she does not offer a clear resolution; this is according to the interpretations given by her critics.
...e idea of living peacefully she did what Nana did to her. She took her childish dream version of the situation and turned it into reality. Even though it was not the nicest way of telling her that she was wrong it was the best. Since she loved)((use more in P))) her family she decided to be more direct and use tough love to save everyone.
Her family life is depicted with contradictions of order and chaos, love and animosity, conventionality and avant-garde. Although the underlying story of her father’s dark secret was troubling, it lends itself to a better understanding of the family dynamics and what was normal for her family. The author doesn’t seem to suggest that her father’s behavior was acceptable or even tolerable. However, the ending of this excerpt leaves the reader with an undeniable sense that the author felt a connection to her father even if it wasn’t one that was desirable. This is best understood with her reaction to his suicide when she states, “But his absence resonated retroactively, echoing back through all the time I knew him. Maybe it was the converse of the way amputees feel pain in a missing limb.” (pg. 399)
...er. She is unwilling to obey his requests. This shows society’s view of strangers and how they should not be trusted. However, the fact that she did not trust the stranger led to her ultimate demise.

“Why are you here? Peeking? Pervert?” I look behind me to see another wonderful looking girl. But a strong one at that. She sent me flying. Me. Flying. Before she could ask my name she came around the corner all flustered and stuff. “W-w-what are you doing here?!!!” It was Tatsuki. I bolted out of there not even looking behind me if I was being followed. I rush to my room and lock my doors behind me. What’s going to happen tomorrow? I ponder on the thought before realizing what spell that women shot at me. It was a paralyzing spell. I couldn’t do anymore things for the rest of the night! Well not like I had anything planned, so I just drifted into sleep dreaming about the next day and what might happen.
