different ways. Different films in different eras have led to stereotyping American Indians and poorly portraying the construction of American Indian life. At the beginning of this semester, films portrayed American Indians as savages who could not kill a Cowboy, but at the end of the semester, that stereotype changed into American Indians represented as helpless people who cannot be rescued from the alcoholism and distress found on reservations. The ways the American Indians are portrayed in…

motionless. On his hip is a holstered pistol, ready to be drawn at a moment’s notice. As he rides off in to the sunset, a tumbleweed grazes by, and western music begins to play. This is the modern depiction of a cowboy. What one does not realize however is where all of this came from. The cowboy did not always exist, he had to be born and carefully crafted. This crafting that arguably created the manliest man the world has ever seen, was done by none other than William Cody, Buffalo Bill.…

One of those teams is the Dallas Cowboys which was known as “America’s Team”, but according to new poll data they are not the most loved team in the NFL anymore. In a recent survey by CBS Sports they found that the Dallas Cowboys have been thrown to the curb, and a new team has emerged as “America’s Team”. That team is the Denver Broncos.

one can preserve the past and manage present disappointments. In addition, the Native Americans are seen submissive. These hold truths in the film and in the American culture and society.

On the other hand, there are some stereotypes that are not represented in an American culture and…

TITLE Tombstone: The Town Too Tough To Die LEAD PARAGRAPH There’s a town out in the Arizona desert steaming with history. Drive just 30 minutes outside of Tucson and you’ll be traveling back some hundred years. You’ll stand in a town reminiscent of a time when America was young, boisterous, and unsettling. It’s a bygone era free of today’s fast paced mobility, where adventure was around every corner and the frontier was alive. Out passed wide arid space the surrounding mountains were a…

Due to economic conditions, in terms of jobs, working as a farmer would be the most reasonable with good profit as well. Considering all the criteria to be a farmer isn’t that hard, simply growing crops and selling isn’t as tough as being a miner or cowboy (more work). Being a farmer at the time has its benefits alongside its difficulties. There were quite the benefits after the Civil War that helped farmers such as the equipment and profit they were provided with. You have to have the right…

end students were allowed to go to go to their centers. Some students chose to play in the Texas center. In this center (as discussed earlier in observation 6) students used the Texas related clothing (boots, cowboy hats, jackets, belts, stuffed horses for riding) and imitated being cowboys. It was interesting how a girl dressed up and stayed at home and pretended to cook for the boys who were riding horses. I got to see how pretend play can also be a learning opportunity for young…

A review of John Moore’s “Intensive Care” from Sub Terrain: Strong Words for a Polite Nation In the literary magazine, Sub Terrain, John Moore wrote a short story called “Intensive Care”. It’s about a lawyer named Doug Wilson who leans that his partner, Jean, had gotten in an accident and is in intensive care. This story seems like a cliché story about someone having a horrific accident and then dying, but, although the plot seems cliché, the details of the story are different from the cliché.…
