Excuse me. Sir but may I be of assistance Ah I see I have alarmed you. Do not be frightened by my beard I am a lover of America. I noticed that you were looking for something more than looking in fact you seemed to be on a mission and since I am both a native of this city and a speaker of your language I thought I might offer you my services. Describe the scene presented in the opening lines of the novel. Write down your impressions. Check your notes after reading the novel. Might the scene present itself differently A bearded man is addressing a foreigner who seems to be lost and at the same time eager to carry out some important task on a mission . In spite of the extremely polite offer to help by the local man who speaks perfect English the outward appearance beard alarms and even frightens the stranger. AFTER READING THE NOVEL Return to your notes after analyzing the novel. Might the scene present itself differently After Changez student was involved in a terrorist attack and after Changez accused the US of aggression he is plagued by paranoia he feels observed and threatened. He has been informed that an emissary sent by America might intimidate or kill him. p.208 . Might the American stranger be this emissary on a mission to harass or kill Changez When the American reaches under his jacket at the tea shop and in front of the hotel Changez offers unlikely explanation for this gesture reaching for his wallet before ordering tea a metallic holder of business cards . The American might be alarmed when his targeted victim addresses him. Maybe he was not looking for something but for somebody that is Changez. There might be double meaning in Changez offer to be of assistance . Instead of his services he might offer his version of his development from the successful immigrant in the American business world to the university lecturer with anti American tendencies. Explain Changez words Ah I see I have alarmed you. Do not be frightened by my beard I am a lover of America. Why does Changez beard alarm the American stranger outward appearance stereotype of Muslim terrorist Have a look at this poster I found on the Internet.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION SIKH Sikhism was founded in the Punjab India in the 15th Century CE and is a monotheistic religion. On 5th August 2012 a 40 year old US army veteran killed six worshippers at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin USA. We are pretty sure that this is a hate crime because there is so much ignorance and people mistake us either being Taliban or being part of Bin Laden s network or al Qaida because of our turbans and beards explained Rajwa Singh of the Guru Gobind Singh Foundation in Rockville Md. http usnews.nbcnews.com news 2012 08 06 13143596 sikhs reel aftersenseless attack were not taliban lite On April 19 1995 Timothy McVeigh s terrorist bomb attack destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Downtown Oklahoma City. The Oklahoma blast claimed 168 lives including 19 children and injured more than 680 people. The blast destroyed or damaged 324 buildings destroyed or burned 86 cars and shattered glass in 258 nearby buildings. The bomb was estimated to have caused at least 652 million worth of damage. DESCRIPTION at the top of the poster white capital letters on black background appeal to stop unjust hatred. All the other text blocks are in black print. text block in small type reason for publishing this poster 9 11 and media reports lead to attacks on innocent people who are taken for terrorists because of their outward appearance two small photos juxtapose Bin Laden on the left and a Sikh priest on the right. Both men are bearded and wearing turbans. The words warning not to confuse the Arab terrorist with the Sikh priest are printed on red and green background making use of the stop and go colours of traffic lights. They inform that the persons depicted share neither race nor religion nor country. Inviting outrage the text complains that innocent Sikhs or Arabs are harassed even when they donate blood at the Red Cross for their fellow Americans. After the a reminder in capital letters PLEASE REMEMBER the poster presents the photo of a white man in red prison garb and a crew cut. Without giving the man s name the text in bold print the types are bigger than in the text blocks above informs us that this man bombed the Federal Building in Oklahoma. It reminds us that the one white terrorist does not mean that all whites must be under general suspicion. We read the request to circulate this poster on the Internet in capital letters followed by thank you. MESSAGE warning of stereotyping and prejudice risk of harming innocent people Abschließend kann die Botschaft des Posters und seine Wirkung sowie mögliche Reaktionen diskutiert werden. Die Schüler benennen formale und oder inhaltliche Gründe warum sie das Poster weiterbreiten wollen oder nicht. Sie können auf die Rolle der Medien eingehen. Das Poster beschuldigt die Medienberichterstattung nach 9 11 die zu bergriffen auf Bürger arabischer und auch asiatischer Herkunft führte. Einseitige Sensationsberichtserstattung mit Bildern und Filmen von Gewaltakten fördern Vorurteile und Diskriminierung. Eine differenzierte Berichtserstattung vermittelt ein objektiveres Bild der Lage. DISCUSSION Would you forward this poster Give reasons for your answer. Do you think it conveys its message effectively How might different people react to this poster. Discuss role of the media in confirming stereotyping and prejudices when reporting on antiWestern riots in Arab countries. Sensational footage of violent scenes fetch a high price on the television market but are such reports really informative What is missing to present a balanced report ALTERNATIVE Die Pyramide veröffentlicht 2003 von Anti Defamation League and Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation verdeutlicht warum Vorurteilen entgegentreten muss und die Risiken wenn man Diskriminierung zulässt.
