I am fortunate enough to have just moved into a decent size house with a garage. The garage also came with some work benches already installed. The work benches are a little beaten up but they are sturdy enough for the work I need them for and with a few alterations they should be a good start for my gunsmithing work. Since my first projects I have planned out will be on my own firearms I will be able to use my garage to park my vehicles in and use it for my wood working as well. If I decide to…

Axes of Oppression When discussing effective ways to organize and fight oppression, Andrea Smith (2013) challenges her readers to “take power by making power” (p. 19) by creating a world we want to live in. She presents the idea of all people in society coming together and adding their power to the collective power.

For instance, it portrays men as hardworking and, therefore, the ones making money. Men are expected to be the ones that work to support their families,…

In my opinion, the purpose of the film "Curse of the Axe", appears to be an attempt to glorify the field of archaeological research. The filmmakers attempted to demonstrate that archaeologists can teach First Nations about their history. This film suggested that the Huron-Wendat had little, to no knowledge about their past. I feel that the filmmakers, even if they depicted an interesting portrayal of pre-colonial Aboriginal history, did so in a biased manner. In contrast to the last chapter of…

chicken. What I’m trying to get at, is that someone’s identity may be more than meets the eyes. Tim Winton, the composer of the short story, My Father’s Axe, explores the universal themes of male identity in the modern age. He utilises many relatable scenarios which convey the stereotypical male identity. “Jamie says he doesn’t know where the axe is and I believe him;…
