  • Essay / marwan - 1069

    Arundhati Roy, a famous Indian author best known for her novel “The God of Small Things”, brings a collection of her essays to become one known as “The Algebra of Infinite Justice ". She had experience in theater, architecture and finally writing. She has devoted herself to political activism and as a spokesperson for the "anti-globalization and alter-globalization movement". According to Arundhati, America goes to war and cannot back down unless one side loses, and when there is no enemy, the US government will create one to satisfy its arms trade and angry citizens who have been affected by terrorism. During his presidency, President Bush described America's enemies as "enemies of freedom," but that freedom is reserved for their people. This idea made Americans think that “the American way of life” is the only right way and that anyone who opposes it is an enemy or a terrorist. The writing of the article is strong, makes the reader as passionate about the subject as she is and elicits a response from the reader. This opens readers' eyes to the question of other groups on the global and international problem it raises. In her writings, she expresses her anger at terrorism, globalization, nuclear disarmament and global capitalism. Throughout the essay, Roy makes the reader feel like they should have an opinion on the subject and uses this to his advantage. Roy highlights the main point of his essay: the foreign policy that the US government engages in around the world in order to promote the American way of life is the reason Americans are hated and not the people. And that these policies are the reason that invites terrorism across the world, which is a goal... middle of paper ......ics on both sides. However, the approach taken by Roy keeps the audience hooked and hence none was needed to convince the audience as it was full of pathos. Roy raised the problems we saw with these policies and asked questions that made readers question many things, but she gives no solution to the problem and simply leaves it up to the reader's imagination. All the typical television stations across America never thought to tell the story of America's involvement in Afghanistan during the 9/11 attacks. Therefore, for people who were in the shadow of the truth, coverage of the attacks would have been emotional, disturbing and fueled hatred of jihad. However, for people who know the story, the media coverage was offensive and just plain wrong, but no one spoke out against it and many died because of it..
