Me: I 'm not going to respond to that, by this point in the movie it 's almost over and I was pretty sleepy. Nevertheless, I forced myself to stay up since the violinist had just arrived.
Partner: That camel must have been really traumatized by the birth of that colt because she still wanted nothing to do with the colt

    After reading this excerpt from the book Crazy Horse: The Strange Man of the Oglalas by Mari Sandoz this passage gave Crazy Horse’s thoughts about the encroachment of the white man into Indian territory. The influential leader of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, Crazy Horse, held out against the government's efforts to imprison the Sioux on reservations. Almost all the Native Americans were sent to reservations by the late nineteenth century (Pollard, pg. 571). Crazy Horse was involved in many battles, including the Battle of Little Bighorn. Reading this excerpt reminded me of many other unimaginable stories of Indian relocation such as the Trail of Tears, conflicts between Native Americans and the European settlers, and the United States government’s…

    The main point of the film is to display the era of the 1930s and how racism, prejudice and injustice reigned in the United States, the real America. I believe the purpose of this particular film was to display and promote the comparison of killing a mocking bird to executing an innocent individual. In the film the comparison is to an African American male, Tom Robinson. A main character named Atticus Finch declares in a conversation, "I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the backyard, but I know you’ll go after birds.…

    This story essentially is when, during the Trojan War, the Greeks supposedly built a wooden horse large enough to fit several of their soldiers inside. They tricked the city of Troy into believing that the horse was a gift so that the hidden soldiers were able to enter the city of Troy and attack. In the film, there is a Trojan Bunny which King Arthur and his men intend use to do the same thing as the Greeks did in history as they attempt to enter a castle. The familiarity of the story allows the audience to understand the humor in the plan that the men have. Another scene is when one of King Arthur’s knights, Galahad, enters Anthrax and encounters 150 virgins there who all quite intensely crave him.…

    The text assigned for week 14 from Schroeder’s Muhammad’s People “The Sophisticated” and Irwin’s The Wandering Scholars “Night and Horses and The Desert”, as well as the Maqamat al-hariri “The Thirty-Third Assembly, Called ‘Of Tiflis’ ”, are taken from Arabic literature on the tenth through twelfth centuries, but they are most definitely not “Islamic”. With regard to religion and literature, it is as though there is conflict for the sole purpose of adding flare, salacity, and hilarity to the pieces. If these pieces of literature were one hundred percent guided by religion, then there would be negative repercussions for the writers, as well as the readers, because a lot of material in the literature is haram. There must be some literary styles adopted from other cultures, just as Islamic art appeared to have foreign styles. As far as religion goes, if these literary pieces were not fiction, most of these characters would probably end up in hell.…
