WALT: explore the features of a balanced argument.

Are the Carters old-fashioned or racist?

Historically, racism is an issue that has seen many movements and people standing up for justice in time gone by. Even in the media recently, there have been debates about equality. Within our text, ‘Journey to the River Sea,’ we come across the Carters, an English family living on the outskirts of the Amazon rainforest in Manaus, Brazil. They have just welcomed Maia, who has travelled from England to live with them. As a family, they steer clear of the locals, ship food from England and forbid their children to venture into the outside world. However, this begs the question: are they just old-fashioned or racist?

There is no doubt that The Carters are not used to their life in Brazil. They have been used to living in England and this is a huge cultural change for them, and very different from the life that they knew. They are suspicious of any people who are different to them. This is, after all, a text set over one hundred years ago, when times were different, and unfortunately inequality was seen as a way of life for some people. Take, for example, the fact that the family have British food, which is very costly, shipped to them regularly. This just proves how stuck in their ways they are. Consequently, it comes across that they are against the food in Manaus, when they just desire their home comforts. Is it wrong for them to have food preferences?

On the other hand, it is clear that the Carters have a negative view of the people and area of Manaus. We see this in the text that they will not allow ‘native’ food in their house, thinking it to be full of germs from the local markets. Furthermore, they will not permit Gwendoline and Beatrice to leave the confines of the house as they will surely be stung by something; this highlights their prejudiced opinion of Manaus being dangerous. Does this not show how judgemental they are?

While there is clear evidence that the Carters are stuck in their ways and just far more comfortable with their old life in England, there is clear discrimination against the people they now live amongst. It is my view that the Carters are racist. I strongly believe that this is evidenced with their personal and unproven views about ‘native’ food and the area being unsafe as well as how they talk to the people who work for them.

Did you know? Manaus was one of the first cities to have electricity. Where in the world? Brazil is the largest country in the southern hemisphere within the continent of South America It is more than 5,000 miles away from Birmingham and would take 11 and a half hours on a plane to get there! 60% of the world’s rainforests are found in Brazil, and it is home to the largest of them all: The Amazon rainforest.

More about Manaus Brazil on a world map. Manaus is the largest city in north-western Brazil, and the capital of the vast state of Amazonas. It is a port as well as a city, and is in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. The main language spoken across the country is Portuguese. Manaus has a humid, tropical rainforest climate. Due to the city's proximity to the equator, the heat is constant.

History Manaus was declared a town in 1832, with its name ‘Manaus’ given to it, meaning ‘Mother of the Gods’. Years later it was transformed to a city, in 1848. The Opera house is the major cultural heritage of Manaus. It was first used by the public in 1896- that makes the building more than 120 years old!
