A language is a powerful tool for expressing thoughts, ideas, and feelings. Language also serves as one of the primary contextual clues in determining where any one person is from in the world or region. Moreover, language also serves as the driving force for culture development within societies. The concept that language directly affects culture development is the prominent hypothesis within the anthropological community. The primary language taught to any person during their early growth and…

After the Civil War, Congress issued a plan to restore the South. During this time period, also known as Reconstruction, many people questioned how the South should be dealt with. Should the Southern states that seceded be readmitted into the Union, or should they be treated as conquered territories? Since the South had lost their main source of profit, the labor slaves, after the Civil War, there was also the question of how to repair the Southern economy. Not everyone shared the same views on…

This is shown throughout the poem by symbolism. Some of the symbols that I am going to point out are “volume[s] of forgotten lore” (121 Poe), the dying embers, the darkness after opening the door, line 27 “silence was unbroken and the stillness gave no token,” the raven, the bust of Pallas and the word never-more spoken by the raven. There is really nothing proving that my theme for this poem is correct…

production is the process of turning raw ingredients into food products. This can be done through agricultural processes and food technology. During the Epipaleolithic time food production was first developed in the Near East and Mesolithic in Europe (Ember, Ember, & Peregrine, 2015, pp. 159). Food production began through the cultivation and domestication of plants and animals. There was a shift in big game hunting to broad-spectrum collecting. The shift in the way humans secured their food was…

Humans are creatures of habit – once they get used to doing something, any change to it is jarring and often unwelcome. The chorus’ line, “The straying dreams of men/May bring them ghosts of joy:/But as they drowse, the waking embers burn them;/or they walk with fixed eyes, as blind men walk” (Sophocles Antigone 210) articulates this idea, and the idea can be found in multiple tragic works. For example, in Oedipus Rex, Oedipus tries to escape fate but fate reminds him that he is still its puppet…

Sotomayor once stated, “The Latina in me is an ember that blazes forever.” After given much thought on what it means to be an Idaho Latina, I could not think of how to describe the feeling or how one thinks, acts, and lives. I feel like I haven’t found my place in the Hispanic population in school even though I am full Hispanic. I don’t speak Spanish fluently, I am at a different academic level than other Hispanics, and I have different interests. Yet the “ember still burns inside me”, thanks to…

Poe used personification in “The Raven” to give objects human life qualities. The personification he used is important because it gives the readers a personal connection with the article that is being described. For example, “And each separate dying ember wrought…

Between the confederates and the union. “ After the civil war, New England became highly industrialized, and the number of french canadians increased notably,Growing from 103,000 in 1870 to more than 200,000 in 1800, 365,000in 1890 and 573,000 in 1900”(Ember 292). As you can see the population grew and grew over the years and made the industry boom in…

The Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation are considered as magical point in history by amateurs. In some regards, these events were magical. Art, literature, and science flourish like a well-kept garden. It was a pleasant change from the calamitous 14th century, which was wrought crop failure, famine, the Black Death, and fruitless crusades. The world was in turmoil. In the eyes’ Christian, it may as well have been a world forsaken by god. Thus, when the Renaissance and Reformation…

paragraphs, differences between two unilineal systems will be discussed and also how these systems help not just the individual but also their society. Lineage is the tracing down of family members between different people and showing the link. Ember and Ember define lineage as a set of kin whose members trace descent from common ancestor through known links. There are two subcategories of lineage which are patrilineages, which trace genetic links through the males of that clan, and…
