Indiana

In Raiders of the Lost Ark by George Lucas and Philip Kaufman, we see how the story is an example of an Epic. We see how brave and wise Indiana Jones is when he figures out how to get out of situations and how he figures out different ancient articles. Even when he travels around the world like to South America and Nepal and also Cairo. Also ,how he has superhuman abilities such as punching people out of cars and sliding under cars without getting hurt. There also is a lot of supernatural things…

Growing up in the Northwest in Washington State, I was surrounded by Native American Culture. Although, since moving to Indiana, I haven’t really experienced Native American culture within the state. I assumed the culture difference from the West to Midwest would actually be quite similar, but to my surprise, culturally, the Pow Wow in Indiana was actually quite different, as well as the cultural differences. One of our family friends is a Chief of his tribe and within his tribe, the culture of…

Michael Jordan Vs. Kobe Bryant Kobe Bryant has throughout his life been compared to Michael Jordan in almost every aspect. Some say that Kobe Bryant steals Michael Jordan’s moves, even Michael Jordan thinks that Kobe steals his moves. Kobe and Michael are both champions, shooting guards, and they both had very successful careers. In 1991, Michael Jordan won his first NBA championship in only five games. At the time the Playoffs were four game elimination, meaning that first team to win four…

state government's attorney, I am a lifelong Hoosier who loves this state. And I want to come to the defense of the reputation of the good people of Indiana, who are known for their Hoosier hospitality, family values and strength of character. Part of the reason the current controversy has affected Hoosiers viscerally is the unfair assertion that Indiana natives somehow are unkind and intolerant. That goes against the grain of the very cultural identity we all have learned and internalized all…

“Indiana was home to 314,501 immigrants in 2013, which is more than the total population of Cincinnati, Ohio” (New 1). Over the past two decades, Indiana has taken a closer look at the population of immigrants in the state. Although Indiana is not a border state, people from many other countries decide to emigrate to Indiana for a better life. The largest ethnic groups who come to Indiana to live, originate from Asian and/or Spanish speaking countries. “Roughly 1 in 12 Hoosiers are Latino or…

Indiana Caverns/Corydon Expedition Corydon, Indiana Friday, August 7, 2015- Indiana Caverns is an amazing place to go. You start by watching a five to ten minute video about how normal caverns/caves are created, how the Binkley Cave System was founded, and how Indiana Caverns was ingrained. Before you go on the tour with Andrew, early to late twenties, who had dark hair, very enthusiastic with people, as well as being very polite, and lets kids hold his flashlight in the cave, you get your…

attending The Indiana Academy would be a beneficial academic experience for me is that I feel I would benefit from a challenge. At my current school, I have taken the most difficult classes that were made available to me, but I still very rarely feel challenged by my work. The lack of a challenge is so prevalent in some classes that even the advanced level of a class is boring. This is due to the amount of work and the content covered in these classes. I feel like attending the Indiana Academy…

The first thing that caught my attention about the Indiana State Museum was that the museum is basically divided into two parts. It is divided into the natural history side and the cultural history side. I found this very interesting, as I had just assumed that everything in the museum was imported, categorized, and stored in similar manors. When you think about it, it makes sense to divide the museum into two parts as it allows the staff members of the two teams to be specialized experts in…
