Table three representation

Speed planning essay:

Introduction: Positivity or negativity portrayed in the extract.
Parag 1: Positivity of colonialism and post colonialism extracts:Personally, all the extracts are negative, but positive aspects of post colonialism are more freedom, mixed race families, more resources etc.
Parag 2: Negativity of post colonialism: All, the titles suggest they're negative, e.g 'Far cry from Africa' and 'The Poisonwood Bible' Posion suggests people are being indoctrinated by religion and other social groups. Far cry suggests people are crying but they can't hear them- or possibly being ignored.
Parag 3: More negativity- 'Nothings changed'- post colonialism hasn't changed anything in the world, there's still suffering and racism towards certain social groups, but it depends what aspect you look from. 'Things fall apart'- post colonialism caused chaos, riots and disagreements between social groups. The different groups together do not mix as they have different views on society and how it should be ran.
Parag 4: Effect of colonialism and post colonialism on literature- it changes people's views of society and issues. Challenges people and makes them think about how others may view the same things as them; white people are likely to have different thoughts and views as black people, but this may be a good thing, not always bad.
Conclusion: Summarise how the titles play on the themes of the extracts, positivity or negativity portrayed and what it can teach us through literature.
