3. Both Nectar in a Sieve and "Marriage is a Private Affair" deal with the effects of colonization and European views on the Traditional culture of

their respective locations. Compare and Contrast how these texts deal

with this subject. Are these European views treated in a positive

manner? In a negative manner? A mix of both? Use the text to support

your response.

Can someone help me

a mix of both!

“marriage is a private affair”:

- european views are treated in a mostly negative manner

- negative manner because okeke (a very traditional man and father) doesn’t want his son nnaemeka to marry nene (a woman from the city).

- okeke thinks nnaemeka is breaking with tradition by being engaged and wanting to marry nene, so he doesn’t talk to his son or nene for many years

- it turns into a positive manner at the end when okeke gets a letter from nene about her two sons (okeke’s grandsons) wanting to visit him.

- okeke realizes breaking with tradition isn’t so bad after all because he wants to meet his grandson

nectar in a sieve:

- european views are treated in a negative & positive manner

- rukmani and her husband nathan have 1 daughter don’t like that their village is becoming less traditional and is becoming more modern instead

- rukmani wishes she had sons

- rukmani meets this foreign doctor named kenny and this is where her mind changes about european views

- though rukmani wants her traditions to stay, she gets kenny’s help and has several sons

- rukmani realizes european views aren’t so bad because modern medicine has helped her have the sons she’s always wanted

compare and contrast:

- both nectar in a sieve and marriage is a private affair treat european views negatively and positively

- european views are presented as something that seems to take away traditions but later are presented as something that is capable of doing some good

Explanation:

read these two a long time ago. can’t remember the text but i remember the stories a little. hope this gives you an idea of what to do!

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
