Fanart - The Four Elements Specialized

by Ctreuse109 [x] [x] [x] [x]

Interesting how the first three elements exclusively feature specialized benders (you can even see Zuko in the background for the Lightningbending art, since we only ever knew him to redirect lightning not conjure it) while only three of the five in the Airbender set have displayed any enhanced spiritual powers akin to Jinora’s explicit specialization of Airbending, spirit projection. Aang has done something similar many times during his journey, and Tenzin was able to project his inner enlightenment out into the Fog of Lost Souls in order to dissipate it and save his family.

Just posting all of these here with credit because I find them stunning and I haven’t seen this set around yet.

This #creepy image of a #BobMarley and #Basquiat cross has been hunting me for a while, and though not clear to me, I was fully aware, in my dreams, that this figure carried the energy of these two giants. #BetterOutthanIn

Entry #10 - "Master Harold... and the boys" Athol Fugard

What is the historical setting of the play? What do you believe was the playwright’s intention in writing this play? Draw connections between the setting and circumstances surrounding this play and U.S. history.

                        The historical setting of this play is that of a country plagued by racism, servitude, and the dangerous relationship between the native people of any given country, and its colonizers. Although Athol Fugard’s “Master Harold… and the boys” is set to take place in the country of South Africa, his work addresses circumstances in the 1950’s also affecting many other regions of the world, from Egypt to India, South Africa to the United States in particular, where racial tension and segregation was as strong as ever at the time. Colonization in South Africa had incredible social impact in the community, marginalizing the local people, and establishing a segregation order which affected schools, neighborhoods, cities, all the way to Parliament where it was rear to find a person of color unless he/she was employed as a servant. As it was done in the United States soon after slavery was abolished, and during the 50’s as well, the powerful men who ruled the country, British is this case, found ways to continue exploiting the natives, yet still satisfying the international community’s concerns regarding the social issues which afflicted the South African population. This was done in many ways, one of which was providing employment opportunities to the native people as domestic servants. In the United States, people of African descent as we know, were treated in similar ways. Given work as domestic servants, caretakers, janitors, doormen, porters, and share croppers among other, African Americans faced strenuous working conditions and very low pay, which pushed them to leave in slums, and their children to be raised with the poorest education available. This created in both, U.S. and South Africa a second class of people who saw those in better position, whites in its majority with admiring eyes, and extreme respect.

            I believe Fugard intended to expose the treatment his countrymen and many others throughout the world were experiencing at the hand their respective oppressors. Whether called servants or slaves, native South Africans were subject to the will of their employers, who as it could be noticed in this play, did not hesitate to make their authority felt. As in the United States were African American and other people of color were treated with demoralizing behavior, South African natives as indicated in this play, were treated as second class citizens in their own country. Subjects of this foreign authority, they did not stand up or revolt against the establishment any sooner, perhaps because of the financial ties that existed between them and their British employers and rulers. In extreme need for income, in a country with vast natural resources, yet living under high unemployment and illiteracy, native South Africans found themselves dependant of those who provided them with work and a salary to support their families. Many volunteered as soldiers during WWI and WWII, and many others became part of the domestic servitude which answered and waited upon the rich, consequently becoming second class citizens.
