Karen Louise Erdrich

.... was created. Headed up by anthropologist Michael Dorris, the class allowed Louise to research her own ancestry which later inspired her novels. Louise wanted to expand her knowledge of the real world, so she took up a wide range of jobs including working as a lifeguard, waitress, poetry teacher at prisons and construction flag signaler. She was also an editor for the Circle which was a Boston Indian Council newspaper.

She realized that the different people she met had their own problems and confusions and that she wanted to write about t ....


Richard Linklater: Man Of Youth
500 Words - 2 Pages

.... they too liked the fermented drink called alcohol. For the technical aspects of Richard Linklater's films only the scene in The Newton Boys where numerous bank robberies go on at once, sticks out. There is dissolves everywhere to connect the processes and explosions to the getaways for the robberies. The music in all Richard Linklater's films is what I noticed the most. He takes period music and uses it to raise the scene to another level. In the cases of The Newton Boys all new music was written for this film set during Prohibition. With the music in Dazed and Confused it is able to make me excited about them going to the party in the woods. The music is able to compl ....


Cone, James A. Black Theology Of Liberation
811 Words - 3 Pages

.... theology is never just a rational study of the being of God. Rather it is a study of God’s liberating activity in the world, God’s activity on behalf of the oppressed.” A Black Theology of Liberation and the Gospel of Luke both contain the theme of liberating the oppressed. Cone stated that "Black Theology is not the hope that promises a reward in heaven in order to ease the pain of injustice on earth. Rather it is hope which focuses in order to make men refuse to tolerate present inequalities. To see the future of God, as revealed in his resurrection in Christ, is to see also the contradiction of any earthly injustice with existence in Christ. ....

1665 Words - 7 Pages

.... nose. This type of genetic diversity which has evolved over many thousands of years in order to better adapt us for our respective environments is being destroyed with miscegination - that is - \"race-mixing\". As every species in the world developed, it\'s sub-species and it\'s further strains and breeds under those have evolved for a very specific reason - the preservation of the species, and ultimately, life itself. Each species is like a tree, with hundreds of branches, each leading to thousands of other branches. Each branch of the tree is slightly different from the one beside it, due to living in a different environment it has had to adapt and the resulting ....


Is The History Nonsense?
643 Words - 3 Pages

.... may consider there is a valid aspect in Ford's statement. Let us take a look what and why the author may disagree with Ford. Ford states that:" ...History is more or less bunk. It is tradition. We want to live in the present..." From his statement, we can see that Ford despises the effect of history in our human development; and doesn't acknowledge how the history in past influenced our society in the present. As we know, "Rome is not built in one day." Our human development depends on the flow of history. We absorb knowledge from our history, remold our society, make new inventions and make progress. For example, the interaction of bursts of technological development Fi ....

An Analysis Of John Berger
1245 Words - 5 Pages

.... author is writing about . An author’s job is to show the reader his point of view. He does this by describing things, offering opinions, and making conclusions. By doing this the author can get his point across and the reader can hopefully relate to him. A good author will also paint his own picture by words. He will leave the reader with a picture in his head of what he is describing. A writer’s words are stronger than the stroke of an artist. An example of this could be from W.E.B Dubois ‘s Of the Meaning of Progress . DuBois paints us a picture of his life . On page 225, DuBois describes a child , he says “ Thenie was on hand early ,-a jolly ....


Kurt Cobain: Collection Of Personal Accounts From Family Relatives
3506 Words - 13 Pages

.... in anyone in all his 70 years. One time, Gramps invited Kurt along on one of our steelhead fishing trips. We were spread out a few hundred feet apart along the Wynooche River. All of a sudden, we heard this horrendous combination of screaming, warbling and yodeling from Kurt, who was upstream and out of sight. Gramps told me to run up there and help Kurt, who must have hooked a big fish. When I reached Kurt, he didn't even have his line in the water. When I asked him what was going on, he just looked at me with those piercing eyes and huge grin. He said, "Oh, I'm just trying to thicken my vocal chords so I can scream better!" When I went back to Gramps to tell him, he ju ....
