The two literary and non literary extracts that I have chosen are Pillow book’s “Especially delightful is the first day” and IT’S GLO blog abroad’s “All your fears about solo travel blog number 10”.

The two literary and non literary extracts that I have chosen are Pillow book’s “Especially delightful is the first day” and IT’S GLO blog abroad’s “All your fears about solo travel blog number 10”. I am going to explore the global issue of how social and cultural norms affect an individual’s connection with others. Social and cultural norms are the rules or the expectations of behaviour and thoughts based on share beliefs within a specific group or an individual’s own perspective. Which strongly connects to the two extracts that I am going to cover Sei Shonagon’s pillow book and the extract I have chosen explores how an enclosed world in the palace life, the world of pomp, superficiality and hierarchy affects the way the writer sees the world and how it affects the interactions with people around her. On the other hand with the blog abroad’s extract, the writer encourages the readers specifically females, to be free from their assumptions about female vulnerability when travelling solo and whilst having a meaningful, open-minded trip interacting with other people. In the pillow book “especially delightful is the first day” extract, the author directly located Sei’s background. She is a women who’s an attendant in court. Despite her low position in court, she feels superior and confident of having such a job where she can enjoy the ideal life working in a palace. In the extract, the author attended to the emperor’s new year parade and her observations of different people from the palace. From one of her description it shows how “everyone pays great attention to people’s appearance and dresses with the utmost care, " which is mentioned in line 2 from the extract. “Appearance” in palace life is what everyone only thinks or cares, which reflects on the author's cultural and social norm in the life of a palace. Throughout the whole extract, Sei uses a very mean, snobbish attitude to describe people around her. In the extract Sei distanced herself from the crowd after observing a number of women with their skin not properly powdered. It mentioned how she can see the texture of their faces, how their skin showed through an unpleasantly like the dark patches of earth in a garden where the snow has begun to melt, which mentioned in line 20 from the extract. The high expectations and perfectionism of the life in the palace blinded her which leads her to not pleased with everything. Her arrogance towards these people from not being perfect like in her ideal palace life makes her more distant with other people, disconnecting with the outside world. Imagery is used in line 21 and 22, “I shrank into the back of my carriage and could no longer see what was happening. ” This is an imagery of shutting herself from the outside world, limiting her chances of interacting with the real world, with real people, which makes her to be so full of herself and being judgemental with everything she sees. Throughout the whole extract she is describing her daily life. From the extract the author is actually alone all along her journey of observing her surroundings. She distracted herself from loneliness by observing other people’s business along with judgements and criticisms as to make her feel better of herself. She is envy of other people’s lives in the palace, looking down at people or things in vulnerable states, criticising appearances of different people. Sei describes how the attendants in court immediately mocked the candidates once they were gone. This is a good example of the social norm in court where it’s all about hierarchy and social class, of who had power and who didn’t. In the case, the candidates sought help even from the attendants, who looked down on them and mocked them. The lack of sincerity, the pursuit of superficial glory and self-importance are part of the “norm” of palace life. There doesn’t seem to be any genuine feelings or sincere relationship among people. Unlike Sei’s pillow book, the blog abroad have a totally different attitude and the perspective of how social and cultural norms can affect one’s connection with other people. The author of the blog is giving out positive, encouraging words and advices for the readers of dealing with the fear of solo travelling. The author believes social norms are the limitation to our freedom to explore the world, through this blog she encourages the readers to not be tied down by these assumptions and to be open minded. The quote of the blog is “My biggest fears revolve around getting kidnapped, raped, or attacked in someway because I’m a solo female traveler. Next is probably getting robbed and maybe loneliness. ” This already shows how social and cultural norm, in this case which is the gender stereotypes affect how people have the opportunity or had a chance to interact with other people around the world without having fear. The first paragraph of the extract shows the problems of being a female when travelling, by starting the blog off with the phrase “This is a common fear amongst women”. The word “common” pinpoints the social and cultural norm of the differences of people with different gender roles and sexuality, as in the blog it shows women being disadvantaged when travelling. It is believed by many people that women is being disadvantaged, which is also believed by the female writer herself. In line 6 of the extract, it tells readers to stay in public spaces and avoid dodgy streets or neighborhoods. Unlike the extract in the pillow book, the author uses a warm tone and a humorous choice of language to encourage the readers to face their fears of solo travelling. For example in line 13, she encourages us saying “talk to strangers, and remember everything we learned growing up, yeah screw all of it” Using a friendly tone to tell readers to forget the time when they were told to not to talk to strangers, but instead to open up and interact with others. This encourages the readers to not be affected by these social norms encouraging us to defy what we’ve learnt. Besides the blog there is another photo of a women sitting on the grass facing the magnificent wide view of the blue sky and the blue ocean. The view is the representation of freedom, and it also captures the feeling of running away from your fears. This tied up with the whole purpose of the blog, where as the author tries to provoke the idea of how social and cultural norms that we faced as an outsider when travelling, which in this case is to be more open-minded and being more interactive with different people In terms of techniques and choices of language, both the pillow book and the blog abroad extracts have the use of humour within the text. Pillow book for example, uses a mean, mocking language based on Sei’s negative thoughts on other people. “The candidates who are old and white-haired things do not go so smoothly” in line 25 to 26, the tone of the author’s language is evil. Even though we as readers will most probably found this sentence funny or humorous. From the style of language it shows the real characteristics of Sei and it reflects on how her personality leading her to feel lonely and feel abandoned from other people. Travel blog on the other hand has a different attitude throughout the whole extract by using very warming and positive giving out advices for the readers. In a different approach the author also tries to use humour in the choice of language. For example in line 14-15 where she exclaims, “Ahhh, the horror! WRONG. They are PEOPLE. A PERSON. Just like you. ” The words such as “wrong” and “people” are in capital letters, from the tone of the sentence, the author is jokingly dismissing a fear that we brought up to experience As to Imagery and allusions in the pillow book, how sei is looking at the different people surrounding her and observing the tiniest little details of them, makes an allusion of the idea of a women who is nothing but full of bore and loneliness inside of her. And in the blog abroad extract, “Because the wrath that cometh, dear Jesus, they have no idea. ” Quoted from line 7 to 8. “The wrath that cometh” is the allusion to the bible, as they usually uses the similar terms of language in a bible. The terms of techniques, the choices of language, imagery and allusions are all tools to build up the characteristics of the authors and understanding their perspectives on their social and cultural norms, which by judging their characteristic we can understand how it affects on an individuals connection with other people by the influence of social and cultural norms in their own community.
