"the taunts are rude and need to stop! " cried mrs. norris. what part of speech is the?

Hi. i'm having trouble citing sources for the question below. i have my essay written, but i need a good example of the west and east not getting along and another example of people from different places getting together to complete it. can someone (fast)? each example has to be from one of the following stories: from emperor to citizen, the tall woman and her short husband, saboteur, cranes, thoughts of hanoi, tokyo, eve to her daughters, a way of talking.in "the literature of east asia and the pacific rim" michael harris quotes: "oh, east is east, and west is west, and never the twain shall meet." with this famous line, british writer rudyard kipling has captured the idea that the east and west are so radically different that their people can't possibly understand one another. do you agree or disagree with kipling's statement? write an essay in which you defend you opinion.
