1. plot of apocalypse by junot diaz
Answer:
In a delicately nuanced, compelling, and masterly prose, Díaz explores the differences between social disasters and natural disasters, the very real problem of global inequality, our modes of evasion, and the importance of not looking away.
Explanation:
Recently, the Boston Review published a touching article by award-winning Dominican-American writer Junot Díaz on disasters and the concept of apocalypse.
Referring to the tragic earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010, Díaz writes, “Apocalypse comes to us from the Greek apocalypsis, meaning to uncover and unveil. Now, as James Berger reminds us in After the End, apocalypse has three meanings. First, it is the actual imagined end of the world, whether in Revelations or in Hollywood blockbusters. Second, it comprises the catastrophes, personal or historical, that are said to resemble that imagined final ending [. . .]. Finally, it is a disruptive event that provokes revelation. The apocalyptic event, Berger explains, in order to be truly apocalyptic, must in its disruptive moment clarify and illuminate ‘the true nature of what has been brought to end.’ It must be revelatory. ‘The apocalypse, then,’ per Berger, ‘is the End, or resembles the end, or explains the end.’”
The author proceeds to “peer into the ruins of Haiti” (which he refers to as “ruin-reading”) and similar apocalyptic catastrophes to try to describe what the earthquake has revealed about Haiti, about us (the world) and our future. In a delicately nuanced, compelling, and masterly prose, Díaz explores the differences between social disasters and natural disasters, the very real problem of global inequality, our modes of evasion, and the importance of not looking away.
Díaz poignantly writes, “After all, apocalypses like the Haitian earthquake are not only catastrophes; they are also opportunities: chances for us to see ourselves, to take responsibility for what we see, to change. One day somewhere in the world something terrible will happen, and for once we won’t look away.”

Answer:
Apocalypse: What disasters reveal” by Junot Díaz
Explanation:
Apocalypse: What disasters reveal” by Junot Díaz is an incredibly touching article published in the Boston Review on the the earthquake in Haiti with his analysis on apocalypse relevant to “natural disaster”, a viewpoint that most of us will intuitively comprehend. Throughout the entire article, Díaz relentlessly utilizes quotes from other published books to illustrate his convincing prospective that “After all, apocalypses like the Haitian earthquake are not only catastrophes; they are also opportunities: chances for us to see ourselves, to take responsibility for what we see, to change” (9). With his effective selection of evidences, Díaz crafts a well found argument.“Natural disasters” are natural occurrences that become social disasters. According to geographer Neil smith, “there’s no such thing as a natural disaster”; “the difference between who lives and who dies is to greater or lesser extent a social calculus” (3-4). “Trend of global inequality” promotes the rich to become richer “by squeezing the poor and, increasingly, the middle class” (5), causing lack of resources for more than 80 percent of the Haitian populationrubble” (4). The Tianjin explosions of 2015, which caused over hundreds of casualties and injuries due to lack of social cognition in providing safety work zone, is another example of “natural disaster”. In other words, an apocalypse does not occur naturally but occurs with the accumulation of human greed.(3). Along with the prolonged miserable in-debt-for-indemnity history, Haiti takes responsibility for its own ruination; “the web of complicity for its engulfment in disaster extends in both time and space” (4). On top of that, Díaz’s references to the Asian tsunami of 2004 and Hurricane Katrina, in which both cases involved with artificially indirect destructions of the nature, also emphasizes the undeniable fact that the magnitude of a disaster is determined “by a series of often-invisible societal choices that implicate more than just those being drowned or buried inThe revelations brought by any apocalypse have potential to provoke an enormous change if people seize the opportunity. Earthquakes, tsunamis and hurricanes take away the thin top soil of civilized society and reveal the underlying political structures: the injustices, the corruption, and the inequalities (2). When we seize the “to see ourselves” (9) opportunity this apocalypse provided to us, we have the ability to “alleviate the misery” (7). In Díaz’s words, “We humans are a fractious lot, flawed and often diabolical. But, for all our deficiencies, we are still capable of great deeds” (8);In conclusion, Díaz’s thorough investigation of the genuine definition of apocalypses inspires me unconditionally. While apocalyptic events increase our vulnerability, we gain the possibility to save our life; “becoming a ruin-reader might not be so bad a thing” (2). After all, there are no natural disasters nor acts of god, but only indifferent people who abet injustices, corruption and inequalities.yet, Diaz holds out hope in the resiliency of the human spirit. In the aftermath of the catastrophic earthquake, Dominicans, despite of their previous inhuman behaviors toward Haitians, firstly stood out to rescue and assist Haitian community. Considering Sonia Marmolejos, a modest Dominican woman who “left her own infant babies at home in order to breastfeed more than twenty Haitian babies whose mothers had either been seriously injured or killed in the earthquake” (8), hopes can still be found, but, only for temporary. With the description of the reappearance of Haitians’ miserable living condition a year after the apocalypse, Díaz demonstrates the ironic reality, that is, the world “has failed to learn the lesson of the apocalypse of Haiti” (9). As longas people ignore the revelations, the whole world will, piece by piece, become a Haiti.

Answer:
Junot Diaz’s short story “Apocalypse” is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the effects of war on the human psyche. Through the use of vivid imagery, Diaz paints a vivid picture of the horrors of war and its devastating impact on those who experience it. The story follows protagonist Yunior as he reflects on his experiences in the Dominican Republic during the civil war. Through his recollections, we are able to gain insight into how war can shape a person’s life and how it can leave lasting psychological scars.
The story is told from Yunior’s point of view, allowing us to gain an intimate understanding of his thoughts and feelings. Diaz uses a variety of literary techniques to convey Yunior’s emotions, such as symbolism, imagery, and stream-of-consciousness narration. For example, when Yunior reflects on his childhood memories, Diaz uses vivid imagery to evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing for a simpler time before the war: “I remember my mother’s hands in mine as we walked through the market…the smell of oranges and mangoes…the sound of laughter…the sun setting over the mountains.” This imagery helps us to understand how deeply affected Yunior is by his experiences in the war.
Diaz also employs symbolism throughout the story to further emphasize Yunior’s emotional state. For instance, when Yunior reflects on his time in the military, he describes himself as “a soldier without a gun or uniform…just a man with an empty stomach and an empty heart.” This symbolizes how isolated and helpless he feels in this situation; he is unable to protect himself or anyone else from the violence that surrounds him. Similarly, when Yunior remembers his father’s death, he describes it as “a black hole that swallowed up everything around it.” This symbolizes how devastatingly destructive war can be; it can take away everything that was once familiar and leave behind only darkness and despair.
Overall, Junot Diaz’s “Apocalypse” is an effective exploration of the psychological effects of war on those who experience it firsthand. Through vivid imagery and symbolism, Diaz conveys Yunior’s emotional state in a powerful way that allows readers to gain insight into how deeply affected he is by his experiences in the war. The story serves as an important reminder that wars have far-reaching consequences that go beyond physical destruction; they can also leave lasting psychological scars on those who experience them firsthand.

Answer:
"Apocalypse" by Junot Diaz is a story that explores themes of masculinity, power dynamics, and violence. However, while the story has its strengths, it also has notable weaknesses that limit its effectiveness.
One of the strengths of "Apocalypse" is its exploration of toxic masculinity. The protagonist, Yunior, is a prime example of toxic masculinity, as he is controlling and abusive towards his girlfriend. Diaz's portrayal of Yunior's behavior is both honest and chilling. Yunior's violent tendencies are portrayed in a way that makes the reader understand the danger he poses, both to his girlfriend and to society as a whole. Diaz's handling of this subject is a commendable aspect of the story.
However, one of the weaknesses of "Apocalypse" is that it lacks a clear narrative structure. The story meanders, jumping between the present and the past, without a clear direction or purpose. This lack of structure makes it difficult for the reader to fully engage with the story. While some may argue that this ambiguity is intentional, it ultimately detracts from the overall effectiveness of the story.
Another weakness of "Apocalypse" is its use of language. While Diaz is known for his use of Spanglish, in this story, it can be overwhelming and difficult to follow. The excessive use of Spanish words and phrases may alienate readers who are not familiar with the language. Moreover, the use of Spanglish doesn't always add to the story's meaning, and at times, it feels like an unnecessary distraction.
Finally, the ending of "Apocalypse" is abrupt and unsatisfying. The story builds to a climax, but then it suddenly ends, leaving the reader with more questions than answers. While an open ending can be effective in some cases, in this instance, it feels incomplete and unsatisfactory.
In conclusion, "Apocalypse" has strengths in its exploration of toxic masculinity but suffers from weaknesses in its lack of narrative structure, excessive use of Spanglish, and unsatisfying ending. While the story has its merits, these issues limit its effectiveness as a whole.
