"But he was able to understand one thing: making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision" (Coelho 70). This quote from Paul Coelho's novel The Alchemist reflects on that idea that when someone decides to take risks and persevere, they will discover so many opportunities and uncover their own character. Just like the protagonist,…

domesticated animals and were constantly on the move in search of pasture for their herds. They depended on their herds for food, clothing, and shelter. Rather than wandering, the nomads followed a familiar seasonal pattern and often returned to regular campsites. • Clans: kinship groups pastoralists traveled together in. Clans sometimes…

My overall experience at the Seabeck Deafblind Camp was absolutely fantastic. There was so much that I learned in my work and training during that week, and I left with a sense of confidence and a lot of epiphanies in working as an intervenor for people who are Deafblind. The first day consisted of training by the Deafblind camp leaders on how to use pro-tactile with Deafblind people. The leaders emphasized the importance of touch with a deafblind person and never leaving them isolated – having…

The question that I chosen to write about in this essay is, what were the strengths and weaknesses of the Confederate States of American and the strengths and weaknesses of the Union at the time of the Civil War. This is a very great question because when you look at it, there are some very obvious strengths and weaknesses to each side. Then again there are some little things that made a great impact throughout the war. Such as the number of troops that were in the armies, the leadership, the…

Bigfoot Is it Real or Myth? Imagine that we are walking in the forest but all of a sudden we notice something strange that is out of the norm. According to the book called "Tribal Beliefs About Bigfoot", Researcher Todd Verna illustrates, "One story that comes to mind is an account written in Theodore Roosevelt's 1893 book, The Wilderness Hunter. He writes about a horrifying experience told to him by a friend known simply as "Bauman." Bauman and a fellow hunter were near the Salmon River in…

What are hunter-gatherers? What is a band? Who are the Ache? Well, to answer these questions we must go back to the 17th century. Jesuit historians first mentioned this group we now know as the Ache at this time in history, describing them as “…living just like animals” (Hill 1996 par 5). The ache lived in bands, which are small groups consisting of mainly family members, in the region of Paraguay. Their total population is around 1500, speaking their own language which is of the Tupí-Guaraní…

The legal trauma of injustice committed by law was the result of societies narratives surrounding science and therefore evidence were taken more seriously than narratives of justice. The ability for the Crown to present their expert opinion and subsequent evidence as superior knowledge to that of other experts and evidence exhibits the limits of the legal system to consistently provide justice. The Crown attested that the circumstantial evidence “pointed overwhelmingly to Mr and Mrs…

thick wool blanket I’m holding around me tightly. I am staring at what would be the most perfect picture. I am literally in paradise, and never want to go back home. It’s a lovely Saturday morning in early November. We just arrived at this beautiful campsite for our annual camping trip with family friends from the neighborhood. I breathe in the mountain…

The newborn sun bled red streaks across the sky. Chloe’s hair glowed like a halo as we marched out of our tipsy cabin with its decayed wood that smelled of raw earth. Despite the ungodly hour, our campsite was glittering with life. A fire was flickering, but there was no smell of meat in the air. I craned my neck and frowned at the sighted of the vegetables roasting. My small nose crinkled with apprehension. Hippies, my dad called these people, my mom used a euphemism: animal activists. My dad…
