Bruchko's Relationship

Decent Essays
Bruchko’s experiences in the jungle with the Motilones Indians has had a number of surprising elements, but what has surprised me the most is that Bruchko was able to build a relationship much better than any other one he has made. Even in their differences, being raised in completely different environments, not being able to communicate to their fullest, and several other barriers, Bruchko and Bobby became brothers. They accepted each other and committed to watch out for each other. When they were at the ceremony creating their pact they sang, “We are brothers, and there is nothing in the world that can take us apart” (Olson 113). It’s amazing how fast God can grow relationships when he's in them, and although Bobby may no have understood

    In Leanne Betasamoskae Simpson’s Stories and Songs of Islands of Decolonial Love (2015), “caged” tells the story of giigaa bizhiw, nishnaabemowi for bobcat. I believe that Bizhiw represents the resilience and strength of the indigenous people. Although she is kept in a cage in the zoo, she manages to remain a strategist and a warrior who does not lose connection with her culture and ancestors. Her relationship with Nabaabak and love that she feels help her put the puzzle together and make the cage fade. The zoo represents the colonial attempts to assimilate the indigenous people, but its inhabitants are still able to demonstrate strength, resilience and resistance as well as importance of love and relationships.…

    The underlying premise that “Friendship is a single soul living in two bodies” (by Aristotle) was not evidenced by Knowles’s novel A Separate Peace. My interpretation of Aristotle’s quote is that true friendship is a very deep bond that resides at a spiritual level between two friends. In other words, the bond of true friendship is so strong that the two friends are connected in a manner that defies physical boundaries and earthly limitations like the human body – even a broken one. True friends have a shared stream of conscientiousness that both can tap into. In A Separate Peace, Aristotle’s quote is not reflected as Gene was initially manipulated through peer pressure and then by his own guilt.…

    Equiano and Rowlandson cope with their situations by cherishing the things that they can value like family and God, in order to show the importance of support from God, friends, and family and how this can provide comfort and hope to themselves when going through hardship. For instance, Rowlandson loses one of her children: “I must and could lie down by my dead babe, side by side all the night after. I have thought since of the wonderful goodness of God to me, in preserving me in the use of my reason and senses, in that distressed time, that I did not use wicked and violent means to end my own miserable life” (38). This shows the opposite matter to the comfort and hope from family. Without serenity, Rowlandson felt miserable due to the absence of her daughter.…

    American author, Jill Churchill, in her mysterious book, Grime and Punishment once said, “There's no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one” (Churchill, 1989, ). Even though a perfect mother does not exist, almost every mother would bend over backwards to support their children’s needs. This means scavenging for ways to financially aid a child's necessities. An example of this struggle is in the film, Frozen River (2008), where director Courtney Hunt presents two mothers who must overcome the trust issues within each other in order to work together and breakthrough their economic situation. The film begins by introducing Ray, a mother of two young boys, who is devastated by the fact that her husband ran away with the…
