Both the books Blood Trail by C.J. Box and Custer’s Fall by David Humphreys Miller are books that show that a lot of overconfidence can lead to your death of you or your reputation in general. Both Custer from Custer’s Fall and the killer from Blood Trail are fantastic representations of how overconfidence in yourself and how you approach what you do can sometimes lead to your death. Overconfidence can almost certainly lead to your demise, whether its your death or just the demise of your…

Roediger’s “Why Are Textbooks So Expensive” and Hannibal’s “Why the Beaver Should Thank the Wolf”, are journals about two different subjects, yet they share the common belief that one small change would be for the better. The obvious difference between the journals is that one refers to a wolf and one to textbook. Roediger gives many examples and a few ideas for solutions to the rise on the cost of textbooks, while Hannibal states the benefits and consequence of having and not having wolves in…

Optional Essay The organization of the course by ethnic serves as a culturally valuable pedagogy. It helped me comprehend each group by its costumes and traditions. Even in class, professor Weidman used to make some remarks of the particularities of the members of some tribes. One that I remember was the skillful hunters (i.e. getting the neighbor’ animals), since, the same group was not specialized in harvesting the foods they eat. Also, the Mohawks from upstate New York who work in the…

They spent the winter at Camp Dubois on the east bank of the Mississippi River where much of their vegetation died…

One cold night in late January, volunteers counted 2659 homeless people in the Sacramento County. Many were found sleeping on the sidewalks, near parks, and even along rivers (Hubert). Homelessness has become normal in America because it is always seen as the effect of individual choices. Because of this, many fear and re-categorize (putting them in a different social class) the homeless. In Sacramento, statistics show that nearly 65% of veterans make up the homeless population. The percentages…

Throughout the history of the United States we have always had those that have stood up for the natural resources that we all as Americans share, and we have had other people who feel like the human race needs to be more industrialized. The former is a persuasion that one who truly values America’s great beauty should fall under. Unfortunately, it is the latter in which many of the politicians and people who control things in this government have succumb to. Greed, power, money, and corporate…

Out of all possible road trips, the best one is by car. Every summer, for as far back as I can remember, my family has taken a long journey to Colorado to get away from our busy lives. We never flew because that would be too easy, so we would drive instead. We would leave early so we could beat traffic and arrive at a reasonable time. It’s 5:30 AM and we’re off, the adventure has begun. The destination is Colorado. The cool, dark, dewy morning air is refreshing and wakes us up. There is no…

However, these animals were not the ony ones brought to New Zealand, for example “[a]mong the many creatures the societies tried to “acclimatize” were red deer, fallow deer, white-tailed deer, sika deer, tahr, chamois, moose, elk, hedgehogs, wallabies, turkeys, pheasants, partridges, quail, mallards, house sparrows, blackbirds, brown trout, Atlantic salmon, herring, whitefish, and carp” (Kolbert 170). They even imported brushtail possums from Australia to start their own fur…
