The main theme of "By Any Other Name," by Santha Rama Rau is that personal and cultural identities are important.
In this Anglo-Indian day school, both girls were given an Anglo name because their names were said to be, "hard to pronounce." Even if the narrator, Santha, was the same person, she felt detached to herself as "Cynthia," in school. It was as if it was another person because she had to be someone else, once she entered campus. She and her sister were brought up in a different culture and they felt that in their school as they were often segregated and singled-out because of their race. In the end, Premila had enough of the discrimination and she and her mother decided that it was not a school to go back to. Even when they thought that Santha did not understand what was happening, it was revealed that she did.
This shows that personal and cultural identities are important because no matter what happened in school they maintained to be themselves as they were brought up to be and rejected the person they "should" be in school.
they are grasping tightly to something they have caught.
The conqueror comes in "Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers" with the purpose of obtaining fame and wealth, and with a heart filled with ambition. The Pilgrims, however, come with a true heart filled with faith, with the purpose of worshiping God in this new land.
<h3>The conqueror and the Pilgrims</h3>
In the poem "Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers," by Felicia Dorothea Hemans, the speaker contrasts the way the conqueror comes to the New World with the way the Pilgrims do the same. To contrast two things, their differences must be pointed out.
The conqueror is usually a violent character. He comes from Europe with the purpose of taking, of colonizing. Therefore, he is ambitious, and his objective is to obtain fame and wealth.
On the other hand, the Pilgrims are "true-hearted," and ambition is far from their intentions. They search for a new place to worship God, to establish their faith.
