Another thing in Chapter 17 that struck my interest is where it was talking about ground water. While going over in class about this I realized that ground water is something that is very necessary for the people in the countries of Maine to survive and if we didn't have it it would really suck for our crops our animals for us as well as many other things that depend on what we call water. Ground water comes from rain drops and snow that has infiltrated or soaked into the ground. The term or word that is used for the underground water supply is known as the meteoric water this is what contains 29 percent of all the fresh water on earth and its amazing that it is underground getting sucked up by our wells. In the chapter it also talks about

    Green Grass Running Water Analysis

    This paper will explore depictions of marriage in Thomas King’s novel Green Grass, Running Water and how rejections of hierarchal male-female relationships, specifically by female characters, parallel and aide rejections of cultural oppression of First Nations, establishing a new basis for equality. King’s female characters remove themselves from positions of subservience, maintaining the autonomy and equality also hoped for but oft denied in First Nation’s relations with colonizing forces. Particularly, Alberta and Latisha each experience relationships easily interpreted as representations of colonialist domination and reject traditional gendered expectations to meet their individual goals, drawing parallels to King’s revision of the accepted narrative of colonial oppression. The behaviour of King’s female characters when faced with such roles demonstrate the intimate relationship between deconstructions of sexism and colonialism, and the desire for a future in which colonialist cultural supremacy has been replaced with community and respect for identity.…

    Down To Earth Ted Steinberg Analysis

    Reading a standard American history textbook from cover to cover, one would likely not run across many references to the natural world. Occasionally the author mentions the influence of mineral discoveries, or devastating natural disasters such as earthquakes and dust storms, but never how the environment molded the societies that developed within it. Ted Steinberg’s Down to Earth: Nature’s Role in American History is a noticeable departure from this methodology. His ambitious goal is simple, “to change the way you think about American history.” (Steinberg, ix)…

    Water Portfolio Analysis

    What I thought about the water portfolio that we did for our science unit was that it was a good way to teach us about this unit. Despite the fact that I would prefer to have tests, quizzes and more textbook work, I do find that this water portfolio assignment is still an effective way to teach students. It was enjoyable to work on the water portfolio and to experience a new way of learning rather than the common way of it being mainly textbook based and with more tests and quizzes. Additionally, creating a water portfolio was less work and more enjoyable than having to study each lesson for hours and to prepare for tests and quizzes. I find that the water portfolio was an easier and faster way to get through the unit and it may have conveyed…

    Underground Water Re-Plenishment Analysis

    Health is an enabling capacity and health professionals positively impact society by de-veloping potential to reach desired goals, improving health status, and by helping to resolve pre-ventable problems (Thacker et al., 2006). New knowledge is essential in creating a positive soci-etal impact. As suggested by McDonough and Braungart (2010; 2013), learning new knowledge has become more difficult. They explain this learning difficulty using an underground water re-plenishment analogy. Both underground water replenishment and learning take time and require the right conditions.…

    Analysis Of So Much Water So Close To Home

    In his short story “So Much Water So Close to Home,” Raymond Carver criticizes the lack of sensitivity society has in regards to the power imbalances between men and women by depicting domestic discord and a community’s response to violence that specifically targets women. The reader is introduced to gendered modes of experiencing the world since the story is told from the wife’s perspective instead of her husband’s. Carver’s narrative choice to frame the story from the perspective of Claire, places the reader into Claire’s shoes to piece together how small instances create her overall psychological turmoil. Claire’s relationship with Stuart perpetuates the demise of her psychological health since she feels uncomfortable to explicitly…
