Old Mother West Wind And The Merry Little Breezes

In life, humans are regularly faced with challenges that require an abundance of creativity and hard work to overcome. In The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope a young boy is faced with problems that many people rarely consider. William Kamkwamba was born in a small village in the country of Malawi, a land often withered by drought and horrible famine. William believed with hard work and determination, he could create the change that his country needed in order to thrive. He dreamed of building a windmill that could bring his village electricity and running water, luxuries many Malawians couldn't afford. William's "electric wind" was a powerful creation that gave his community hope for a brighter, greener future.

Beryl Markham’s West with the Night is a collection of anecdotes surrounding her early life growing up as a white girl in British imperialist Africa, leading up to and through her flight across the Atlantic Ocean from East to West, which made her the first woman to do so successfully.

One of the most iconic statements that Beryl Markham makes in West with the Night is:

Matthew Harrison Brady, of Inherit the Wind by: Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, never fooled anyone. He may have seemed strong in the beginning but he no substance under the shell. Such a false front can be compared to water behind an earthen dam. It may hold some water for a time but once the water finds a weak point, the whole structure comes crashing down along with the fury of all the water behind it. Within brady, the water represents the gooey inner core of his personality.

In The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, by William Kamkwamba, modern concepts such as government and deforestation had negative effects on the lives of the people in William’s community. While government works such as ADMARC and ESCOM have potential to be beneficial to William’s community, in practice, the government does not make them accessible enough to William’s people; thus, they do not serve much use. Furthermore, the government is corrupt, exacerbating the issue: “President Muluzi’s people had sold all our surplus grain for profit … Millions of kwacha were missing, and no one in the government was taking responsibility” (87). The government is keeping these resources for themselves as opposed to making them available to the people. Government,

In both “Dimension” by Alice Munro and “The Breeze” by Joshua Ferris, the authors address aspects of marriage that impact the characters mindset and actions. Doree in “Dimension” struggles with a marriage that has been altered by the death of her children and the knowledge that her husband was responsible for taking their lives. Her unexplained effort to sustain her marriage is driven by her need to hold on to positive elements from her past and not engage in her current situation. Also in “The Breeze” Sarah constantly battles with her internal feelings about her marriage but cannot inform Jay because of his naivete, this causes Sarah to be trapped in a marriage that is filled with repetitiveness centered in denial. These characters struggle

Quinn enjoyed watching the man across from her talk. I was honestly kind of relaxing to be speaking to someone for a change. It was always terrifying at first, and she always focused on that. She would forget how she felt after things had calmed down, and how nice it was to be around other people. It made her forget about the supernatural world she lived in, and how everything around her was absolutely insane. Her mind just let go of the abuse and the war and her money troubles and her sadness, and just let her focus on the person across from her. It was easy (ish) and comfortable, once she was able to calm down. She smiled at Diego when he started speaking about Wawa again. She muttered ‘cool’ and laughed a bit at his friend. She didn’t say much, and instead just kept a polite and friendly silence.
