"The Wedding Gift" by Marlen Suyapa Bodden revolves around the life of a woman named Clarissa and her 'wedding gift' slave from her father. And one of the main themes in this story is that of slavery and how discriminatory or inferior the slaves were treated in the South parts of America.
Explanation:
Marlen Suyapa Bodden's "The Wedding Gift," tells the story of how a woman named Clarissa and her 'wedding gift slave "Sarah" who turned out to be her half-sister, a product of their father's secret sexual affair with his slave Emmeline. This story delves into the issue of slavery in the American South, the positions of slaves and their hardships and the issue of class/ belonging among different races, and also especially on the 'inferiority' of the female gender compared to the males.
<u>One dominant issue in the story is that of slavery</u>. This is seen in the lives, the different lives of the two sisters Clarissa and Sarah. While Clarissa, as a white woman, is an accepted daughter of Allen and have full access to her father's world, Sarah, on the other hand, is just a small slave girl who is passed on like a piece of property. She was given by Allen to Clarissa as a wedding gift, and when her husband divorced her, she remained a part of Clarissa's 'belongings' that she takes along with her wherever her life leads.
Answer and Explanation:
The Hamurabi Code was a government document, which in addition to being responsible for defining citizens' rights, was also responsible for establishing an entire governmental, economic and social structure within Mesopotamia. The Bill of Rights was also a government document, but was solely responsible for the security of citizens' rights, preventing these rights from being infringed by anything or anyone.
When it comes to the treatment of criminals, the Hamurabi code was positioned under the concept of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" showing that a criminal should pay for his crimes in kind. This shows a more violent civilization with extremist rules. The declaration of rights, on the other hand, establishes that criminals must be tried and convicted in order to be subsequently re-socialized and reintegrated into society. This shows a more compassionate and selfless nature.
