    Summary Of Black Elk Speaks

    As I have previously written on Black Elk Speaks Journal 1, this story relates to the life I lived and experienced back in my home country, Iraq. Of course both stories are set in different time lines and different events, yet they still are similar. As soon as Chapter 9 starts, Black Elk begins talking about his come country and how the soldiers came there to kill them. There was a reason for the soldiers to go out there and attempt to eliminate an entire tribe and that was because of land, money and material goods. Growing during the war in 2003 back in Iraq was quite similar to the wars and battles the Natives had went through, fortunately my story is not as gruesome as it is to many others that did not survive the war.…

    Mormons Massacre Research Paper

Due to this, the true details of the massacre have been changed or lost over the span of time. Before the attack a letter was sent to the church leader, Brigham Young, to ask permission to remove the emigrants from the Mormon territory. However, the Mormons did not wait for a reply and began their attack on September 9, 1857. Many Mormons during the time held strong to the fact that the peaceful Indian tribe, the Paiutes, took part in the attack.…

    All I wanted to do was enjoy my day on a Freshman retreat to Camp Tekawitha. On a hot day I got back from my retreat around 5:10.

    Narrative Essay About My Family

    I interviewed my seventy-five year old grandpa Donnie, researched the Voyles lineage book that my grandma Arlene helped compile, and talked with my dad in order to find out more about my family’s history. According to Grandpa Donnie, it all began in 1759 when Jacob Voils, his wife, and his four sons landed in Port Charleston from Wales.
