Lahiri, Jhumpa. "Rhode Island." Identity: A Reader for Writers. Oxford: Oxford UP, n.d. 101-12. Print.
Jhumpa Lahiri explores in first person narration the social and geographical impact Rhode Island had in shaping her sense of identity. Lahiri describes her childhood life in Rhode Island by presenting a series of things happened around her families. In this short story, Lahiri expresses the idea that place a can shape one's identity and influence the way one think and live. I am going to use this article, especially the story happened around the protagonist as an example to examine the deep sentiments that one can have with one's homelands and how place shapes a person.
Price, Patricia L. "Place." Dry Place: Landscapes of Belonging and Exclusion. Minneapolis: U of Minnesota, 2004. 118-27. Print.
In this chapter, Price examines the connection among place, time, and space. He defines the word "place" from many different perspectives. He values the place as a space that has been endowed personal sentiments, memories and experience. He also explains the driving forces that have made each place have certain "uniqueness". I find some arguments in this chapter truly interesting and I might quote some of them in my persuasive essay.
Tuan, Yi-Fu. "Language and the Making of Place: A Narrative- Descriptive Approach." Annals of the Association of American Geographers 81.4 (1991): 684-96. Web.
In this article, Tuan exposes the process of language shaping a place. According to Tuan, the characteristics of a certain place are always established and influenced by the language there. The word "language" here not only concludes the colloquial communication but also the myth, the way that cities are named and etc. I am going to use this article by raising the examples in it.
Tuan, Yi-fu. Space and Place: The Perspective of Experience. Minneapolis: U of Minnesota, 1977. 137-60. Print.
In these two chapters, Tuan analyzes how intimate experience of place and attachment of homeland shape one's connection with certain places, respectively. In the chapter Intimate Experience of Place, Tuan points out that the early sentiments that built between home and human beings are established by the experience of being cured from injury or sickness. In the other chapter Attachment of Homeland, Tuan analyzes the reasons why people have strong sense of belonging and reassurance with homelands. The content of both chapters will be very useful for me to elaborate my ideas.
Nostrand, Richard L. and Lawrence E. Estaville. Homelands: Geography of Culture and Place across America. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins UP, 2001. Print.
In this book, Richard L. Nostrand and Lawrence E. Estaville point out the reasons that make human groups nearly everywhere tend to regard their own homeland as the center of the world. They also believe that homeland have five simple components: a people, place, bonding with place, control of place, and time. I am going to explore and develop my essay through these five criteria.
