Reading Response: How Coyote Sent the White Girl Home

It can be easy to get lost in this essay. It doesn't take you on a strictly chronological journey. To be honest, I had to read through this essay twice before I really understood (probably not the whole concept) what was going on. Once I got past the layout of the story and got to the message, I found it to be a very relatable and beautiful one.

I came from, what was then, a smaller farming town. When I was given the chance I left for "bigger and better" things. Much as the author said that she did not intend to return home, because as she pursued her education in Cheyenne she felt she had outgrown the usefulness of her hometown. I thought the same way she did. I've outgrown my hometown,

    Enrique's Journey Chapter 1 Summary

    It is so close to the boarder we have to go through many boarder patrol check points when we are traveling to and from the ranch. Many times through out the year my grandfather and his friends fine many signs of immigrants who have trespassed on to their land. The camp house has been broken in to many times and items throughout many buildings on the property have been stolen. The ranch is high fenced to keep the deer population in, and many times through out the year we have to repair holes in the fence that immigrants have cut/tore in order to get through.

    The Westing Game: The Biggest Ripper In Sunset Towers

    The book The Westing Game was a slow book to read. In my opinion this book was very boring. The author wrote in a view of multiple groups and often in the view for a single person. The author had extra fluff that was not relevant to the story. For example, “J.J. Ford was the biggest tipper in Sunset Towers……

    Planning, a draining, yet exciting way of being prepared for what's to come next in your life. A set out plan is like a recipe for destruction just waiting to happen. Why? Because the future is way out of reach, there is no way to determine.

    The Emigrants By Charlotte Smith Summary

    Helen Maria Williams, Charlotte Smith and the French Revolution Women of the 18th century were writing novels, lyric poetry and conduct books, but after the fall of the Bastille in 1789, political concerns appeared in their writing. They entered male dominating territory as historical writing was traditionally a male preserve (Walker, 2011, p. 145). In the 1790s a ‘Women’s War’ developed as women writers explored new genres in which they expressed their opinions on events in France, which their male contemporaries already were doing (ibid.). Helen Maria Williams and Charlotte Smith were two of the most important women writers of the period. They saw the French Revolution through women’s eyes and put their understanding of it in writing.…

I was both shocked and a little excited to move because I’ve always wanted to go south.…

    Essay On Lorde And Her Appeal

    This story is a very moving piece of writing. The author adds in her own personal experience which will appeal more to the readers. Not only does she added her own life story but she uses great examples of logic emotion and establishing her credibility. In her writing she urges those of us who tend to be taciturn to share our important truths with others now, because we are all in this existence for a finite period of time (Lorde, 43). This example is a strong appeal to the readers logic.…

    Coyote The Pie Summary

    This citation relates to the present, due to the Coyote was given simple directions to do and couldn't follow them, furthermore he couldn't keep a simple promise he made to Buffalo, similarly humans today do the same, being they make promises which they are unable to keep or are given a simple task, which they can't accomplish. Even more, Coyote thought he could obtain another cow for his broken promise, and by being unable to comply with Buffalo’s simple directions, similarly in today's society people ask for another chance once they have broken a promise or were unable to complete a task like Coyote. In addition, we sometimes make errors and rely on the person we made the error with to forgive us or give us another chance, as shown in the…

    Coyote Takes A Trip Analysis

    Mohamad Farhat Cluster 20A Discussion 1F November 10, 2017 Gender relations Indigenous North Americans are sometimes referred to as two-spirits because they are seen as having two identities in a single body. These two spirits refer to a person whose body endures both a masculine and a feminine spirit. In the chapter titled “Coyote Takes a Trip”, Deborah Miranda’s tribal constructs a narrative story that takes place in modern time in which she uses the anecdote to correlate time in pre-contact and contact periods where numerous California indigenous groups had a ‘third gender’ role. The Coyote is portrayed as a two-spirited man in the historical context of two-spirited people.…

    Story Of Pedro Serrano Essay

    The Story of Pedro Serrano, as told by el Inca, Garcilaso de la Vega, had a deep impact on me. More specifically, the part that was most was the first interaction between Serrano, the main character, and the other unnamed survivor that was introduced halfway through the short story. Serrano had been stranded on the island for three years and had acquired hair all over—so much so, that it was compared by de la Vega to “an animal’s pelt.” The new survivor on the island was still dressed as a normal Spanish sailor, whereas Serrano had seemed to morph into a different person all together—one who was as mentally unstable as he was physically. When these two very different characters met for the first time, they were both shocked.…
