Introduction For decades, Aboriginal individuals have and continue to face a number of challenges due to their race and spiritual beliefs (Monchalin, 2010). In the movie Smoke Signals directed by Chris Eyre, the characters portray the modernized stereotypes Native Americans experience daily. Eyre takes an interesting take on the movie providing vivid flashbacks of the main characters’ past, allowing the audience to get a sense of what life was like for them growing up (Eyre, Alexie, Bressler, Estes, Rosenfelt, & Skinner, 1998) The two main characters, Victor and Thomas flee from their hometown on an adventure to retrieve the remaining ashes of Victor’s father, Arnold, as Thomas assists with the cost of the trip, one condition; he could join him on the journey. The two young men board the bus and begin their journey, however experience reciprocated stereotypes among the non-Aboriginals right from the beginning of their expedition. Although the two young men did not regularly see eye to eye, the experience alone taught them a lot about themselves, each other and the world they lived in. Overall, the movie adequately exemplifies the hardships that Aboriginals experience due to their race regarding alienating stereotypes, spiritual beliefs and customs, and diverse ways of living. Stereotypes Although the movie Smoke Signals is quite comical, easy to follow and relate to, there are notable stereotypes and negative stigmas significantly portrayed throughout. A few aspects that were…

Walden My favorite trip would have to be when I went to Turks and Caicos. I love to go to the beach, but this was way more special to me. It was so much fun! I would go back any day. The view and food was amazing. The whole was wonderful. I started to pack my bag and imagine what the beautiful island looked like. I imagined huge palm trees, warm brown sand, a hot sun, and my feet in a cool ocean with waves that come up to my knees. I was ready to get there, but not ready for an all day…

I have an experience that teaches me to be more honest to my family whatever and whenever. I learned the importance of being honest to my family whatever happens. When I was a teenager I wanted to have my own decisions without asking my family and sometimes did lie to them. My story happened when I was a refresh college student. It was summer time and the swimming at…

When the tide is high and the waters are rough, a group of blowholes come to life, forcing water feet in the air from the water rushing into the holes. Adding on to the rich history of the black sand beach is the ancient freshwater spring caves. There are many caves of old, volcanic rock, some consisting of freshwater at the bottom and some inaccessible to humans. One of the most famous caves is the center of a local legend that is said to be a rebellious princess who fled to one of the…

Fear is my biggest weakness. Fear of being out there, alone. It was one of those hot summer mornings; a gust of warm wind brushed against my skin. I was standing before an old rusty gate of my new high school waiting for someone. Ever since we moved to California, Lily, was the only friend I had. She had dark hazel eyes that bubbled with hazing richness and expensive taste. Her silky hair was a soft brown, like the bark of an oak tree, not dark but simply gentle in any light. I met her at a…

I could hear the waves crashing into one another. It also seemed like the game, Dominos. My family and I were crab hunting. We had seen some ghost crabs and sand fleas, which were very pale and white. Still to this day I can smell the ocean, salty and breezy. The smell of the ocean is really different than in Illinois. In Illinois, we have more of a farmland and dusty smell, not as fresh as the beach air. The first event my family and I decided to do was snorkeling at Destin Harbor. It was…

My Trip On Vacation To Wildwood When I Was Little It was in the year 2008 when my family and I had went to Wildwood beach on vacation. That was when my brother Louie asked,“Can we go to the beach?” My mom said, “Soon.” My brothers and I were so excited that we couldn’t wait! Once we had payed for the valet, we quickly ran on the beach to the place where we could see the water. I was four years old when this all happened. My brothers Louie and Daniel were five years old. My mom and dad…

the pulchritudinous forest and flavorful food. I had never spent my vacation on such a remote, peaceful, and beautiful island. The live band that played every night on the beach was phenomenal. The food had an astounding taste. I could hear the birds chirping in the morning and the dolphins whistling in the night. The feel of the breeze through my room window at night, made everything feel so magical. There was always something fun to. The banana boat rides, the hang gliding rides, the…
