Brian Friel’s “Translations” -- A Drama of Cultural Ambivalence
[ send me this essay ]
This 12 page report discusses Irish playwright Brian Friel’s work
“Translations.” In it, he tells the story of the British to
dominate all of Irish culture and heritage by translating and
changing ancient Gaelic names of villages and towns into English.
Many drama critics, social commentators, and literary historians
have described it a “metaphor” or a parable of the struggles in
Northern Ireland regarding the British, cultural assimilation,
and the determination to maintain a separate and unique identity.
Friel demonstrates that the translation of language was no simple
exercise in words and the use of one language over another, it
was the beginning of an institutionalized encouragement of
cultural ambivalence that had become one of the means by which
the English were determined to eradicate uniquely Irish thinking.

Briton Hammon’s “Narrative of the Uncommon Sufferings, and Surprizing Deliverance of Briton Hammon”: Against the Status Quo
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing Briton Hammon’s narrative and elements which seem to go against the norms of the time. Briton Hammon’s narrative of his thirteen years at sea seems in many ways to go against the norms of society believed to have existed at that time. Hammon, a slave, was released by his Master to serve at sea. Throughout the narrative, Hammon relates his treatment and his impression of others as if he is a British citizen and this is reflected in his story. Although it appeared he wished to go to sea at the beginning, his final passages express his relief and gratitude for being returned to his Master and his “Native” land, America. Hammon’s story breaks with the status quo and the impressions of the time in that not only was he the first African American prose writer, he also considered himself properly treated by his Master, felt an alliance with Britain and America, was desired and sought after by the Indians and the Governor of Havana and received full wages for his work on the ships while serving Britain.
