Buffalo jumps

Wheeler does not know Smiley, but ends up telling a story about Jim Smiley a man who loved to bet. Because he loved to gamble, he decided to train a frog to jump. Smiley bet a stranger that his frog could jump higher than the strangers. When Smiley was not looking, the stranger put quail sauce in his frog 's mouth so he would not jump high. Evidently the stranger won and ran away the money before Smiley could find out what happened. Once the story is done, the narrator attempts to leave,…

do not connect with the main story, like how on page 125 he says he killed a man for the first time with a grenade, but in “The Man I Killed” before that he shows how he shot the man. Both of the stories also do not have a linear plot because they jump around from story to story. In Love Medicine, Albertine is old enough to have been going to college the first time she is seen on page 7, but later in the story she was still a kid when Henry Junior considered her jailbait on page 167. In The…

Review Questions The two most popular theories on how the Native Americans arrived in the Americas are the Bundle Float Theory and the Bering Strait Theory. The Bundle Float Theory purposes the idea that Paleo-Indians went across the Pacific Ocean on man-made floats and ended up in the Americas. The Bering Strait Theory states that the Paleo-Indians came to the Americas through a land bridge that connected Alaska with Asia. The Bering Strait Theory believes that the Paleo-Indians came over…

maintained a steady plains ecosystem with regulated hunting and fires that would bring fresh grass for the bison. Before horses, the Native Americans would use wolf skin to get close to the bison, then they would rush the herd towards cliffs called “buffalo jumps.” Furthermore, with the progression of horses the Natives would single out bison instead of killing the whole herd. Thanks to the repopulation of the bison however, certain Indian tribes are starting their own herds and beginning to…

the three items the boy told him to ask for. The old man gives him all the gifts, but instead gives him half the Elk Dog herd & not the whole herd. In addition to those gifts, the old man also gives him a long rope woven from the hair of a white buffalo bull which will help him catch whichever Elk Dog he wants. With that, the man tells him he must leave and not look back and the Elk Dogs will come up to him on his left side on the fourth day. And as the old man said, the Elk Dogs did come.…

Contact between different areas of the world is both beneficial and disastrous to the people and regions involved. Relative isolation allowed civilization in the New World to flourish, but imperialism in Europe threatened everything that had been established. When Europeans arrived in the New World and interacted with the natives, catastrophic diseases decimated the population, foods and plants were transported all over the world, animals were introduced and domesticated for their helpful…

War changes people. It changes their ideals. It changes lifelong values. A big part of war is also courage. Soldiers need it every day, whether being shot at or watching friends dying. In war periods of bravery or cowardice stand out. What they should or shouldn’t have done. In The Things They Carried, By Tim O’Brien, this is evident. Tim O’Brien uses various characters to exemplify challenging issues in war related to bravery. Perhaps this is most evident in the story the author tells about…

Crimson Peak by Guillermo Del Toro is a visually stunning and technical masterpiece. It has taken me a while to perceive it as that. As a viewer who has been exposed to the trailer before watching the movie, I left the theater disappointed and wanting more out of this horror movie. It wasn’t till plenty of research that I found that Crimson Peak is in fact not a horror movie. Correct, but is it any surprise that the director of Hellboy, Pan’s Labrynth, and the Devil’s Backbone, was able to…

1. Striking me the most, was the use of stillness throughout the piece. Dancers took turns dancing, telling their parts of the story individually while others were still. Minimally were there dancers, dancing with others to tell the story of Joan. Most notable was her death scene. Many times the dancers shuffled from their knees to move through the space of the stage. Also using large whole body movements in a curved pattern, the dancers used general space and the entire open space of the stage…
