Mink

warning from an elder film actress with experience to a younger naïve scarlet. Hittinger uses intense detailed imagery and symbols to create this image of what the life style of a scarlet is like. The speaker, Dietrich, gives us direct markers of to whom she’s refereeing to in the text when she states, “you arrived, tipsy, a bit chartreuse/ a subdused platinum angel.” Monroe had a bit of a reputation of representing this sociality party girl, which was a life style that Marlene was very aware of because she played into that narrative in the 1920s in Berlin. The imagery of the “platinum angel,” is an allusion to the iconic platinum blond hair that Marilyn Monroe wore throughout her life. In this same line we are introduced to the “white mink,” that will create paradox and be…

Signs of Mink Present Successfully identifying signs of mink present is first being able to identify the animal and knowing its habits and preferred habitat. With their range encompassing almost all of the 49 continental states and a healthy population, finding signs of the presence of minks isn’t difficult if you recognize what to look for. Is it a Mink, Weasel or Otter? Minks are members of the weasel family and look very similar to weasels and otters. When attempting to identify the animal…

A man called Michael Shermer once said, “Myths are stories that express meaning, morality, or motivation. Whether they are true or not is irrelevant.” The Alaska native cultural myths that I will be referencing are “The Mink Boy” which is an Alutiiq myth, “Salmon Girl” which is an Athabascan myth, “Sleeping Lady” which is an Athabascan myth, “The Eye of the Needle” which is a Yup’ik myth, “Keet” which is a Tlingit myth, and the Yup’ik origin myth. Many Alaskan native cultural groups share some…

When asked to describe an ideal leader, many would name attributes such as intelligence, toughness, determination and vision, which are all qualities traditionally associated with leadership. What most would often forget is that while softer skills are not as prominent in many leaders, these skills play an immense part in a leader’s overall success. In fact, some studies indicate that emotional intelligence may be the key attribute that distinguishes outstanding performers from those who are…

American minks were introduced because shipments of minks were being made to North America. They were then initially presented in the UK in the 1920s. Thew were discovered mainly in the wild as a result of escape and also due to human intervention which made there population expand in lakes and rivers that were in Europe and South America. American minks were mainly introduced for fur farming to make jackets and capes for humans. 
The first mink to be found in Britain was an accidental cause…

Did you ever have a friend growing up that made it his or her ultimate goal to gross you out? Wether it be by cracking their fingers, telling jokes, or tortures through smelly socks, it is guaranteed that you did not appreciate when your your friend teased you about such matters. Most people as they get older they mature and grow out of this kind of humor. What if I told you there was a man that never grew up. A man that became a director to channel his talent into what he considers an art form.…

Our rabbit, which measured twenty-two inches in length by six inches in width, beared a few similarities to the minks we previously dissected. Taxonomically, minks and rabbits are quite different; whereas rabbits are of the order Lagomorpha and Leporidae family, minks belong to the order Carnivora and Mustelidae family (Animal Diversity Web). Despite these differences, however, their internal structures were composed rather similarly. For example, both the mink’s liver and the rabbit’s liver…

pace. The author uses dialogue between Mrs. Morris and Mink to demean Mink. Mrs. Morris’s seven year old Mink’s mother , establishes Mrs.Morris’s attitude…

The wolf is represented by the s’klallam tribe because in the tale, mink didn’t want to share with wolf and even though wolf sneaked his catch away; he still left mink with something. This was interesting to me because in real life, even when the settlers didn’t want to share the land with tribes, most of the tribes tried to help and assist them.This story can be interpreted however one thinks it should be interpreted. If one were to read this tale, it would behove of them to research the tribe…

One of her hands is on her hip, as she holds the corpse away from her body as if to indicate a state of displeasure with the viewer. The nonchalant dangling of the animal 's corpse in the air suggests their role in the fur trade is of a subservient nature. Animals in the fur trade are seen as nothing more than a means to and end. They are mistreated their entire lives, from birth to their death, many not even reaching adulthood. They are kept in small cages, tight living areas, and have no means…
