    The Taino people of the Caribbean Islands were a simple people with simple needs. “Their houses are all built in the shape of tents, with very high chimneys. None of the villages which I saw contained more than twelve or fifteen of them” (Columbus, Journal, par 18). The island natives lived more off the land and were not as grand as those of the Aztecs. Cortes believed that the housing, temples and a palace of the Aztecs was so grand that he could not justifiably describe it all with a human tongue because he was so in awe of what he saw.…

    So, there was added an episode with the cow in the forest, with the spoons in Van Tassel’s home, or Katrina’s story on the porch before Ichabod left. In return, it wasn’t shown how Ichabod Crane helped inhabitants of Sleepy Hollow: “He assisted the farmers occasionally in the lighter labors of their farms, helped to make hay, mended the fences, took the horses to water, drove the cows from pasture, and cut wood for the winter fire” (Baym 968). In the story Irving doesn’t tell us what was the conversation after the Harvest festival between Katrina and Ichabod about. He just mentions, “Something, however, I fear me, must have gone wrong, for he certainly sallied forth, after no very great interval, with an air quite desolate and chapfallen. Oh, these women!…

    Four years of College, a Degree in English Literature, and five years later what had it gotten him? A debt that wouldn't be paid off until retirement, enough Publisher's rejection slips to wallpaper his two bedroom apartment with twice-over, and a job as a reporter on a run-down, inconsequential suburban newspaper that barely provided enough for food and rent, let alone to treat his girlfriend, Olivia, the most positive aspect of his life, as much as he wished. To say that Kyle Lowry wasn't on the path to be being the next great American novelist, and the wealth and fame associated with it, that'd envisaged as a student was an understatement, however, the same couldn't be said for his ex room-mate Aiden Holt, whose residence he surveyed through the car window. The journey from Seattle-Tacoma airport had taken him and Olivia through lower class suburbs to increasingly wealthy and more prominent areas, until it'd eventually arrived at at a sprawling white-bricked Mexican-influenced hilltop house, overlooking the city.…

    In my opinion, the narrator in "The Yellow Wallpaper" seems to be haunted. There are many reasons in the story that gives proof that the narrator is possessed. One of the reasons I think so is that the house she was being possessed in hasn't had a single owner in a long while. Another reason is that she starts behaving animal like and savagely. Another reason is that she tells her husband that she feels sick but instead of helping he pretends that it’s nothing to worry about.…

    Kniffen and Glassie use a pure form of diffusion where style and culture migrated over a specific geographic area during a specific period. His analysis lacked human agency and thus implied that style and culture acted upon the dwelling form. As indicated through Lopez 's work human agency answers questions that Kniffen and Glassie 's scholarship could not. The addition of human agency explains why style was diffused, how it diffused, and who enabled the diffusion. These are important answers that explore the culture 's priorities, society 's values, and indicates how knowledge is gained.…

    Importance Of Rural Idyll

    When looking at a person’s identity in related to a place, wind power scholars have shown the rural idyll to be important, but have failed to acknowledge the acceptance of turbines, instead focusing on opposition to them (Bohn and Lant, 2009; Phake, 2011; Pasqualetti; 2011). Also, research on the rural idyll has failed to explore the pre-construction/pre-decision stage of wind infrastructure in relation to social reasons behind its acceptance or dismissal (Pedersen et al. 2007 ; Bohn and Lant, 2009; Phake, 2011; Pasqualetti; 2011). My research has been completed in an area still in the preconstruction and decision stages as well as focusing on both sides of the opinions to bridge this gap in knowledge.…
