and to spread religion. Finding the Indians offered them the chance to do both. These people had never seen anything like the Europeans and were mostly receptive to new goods to trade, and were willing to listen to new religious ideas. No one was prepared for the Old diseases that the Europeans brought with them. Disease swept across the continent in the years of European settlement, paving the way for the European dream of controlling the New World. The Indian people had no way to defend…

the Indians presents one aspect of their culture in which they might recognize themselves. This is a way of shaping identity or reputation, a good way but there is also a bad way. This happens when Indians confess that: “We didn’t begin that way. We haven’t always been entertainment” but due to the lies and deceit and their effects on the Indian people “we ceased being people and somehow became performers in an Aboriginal minstrel show for whites in North America” (King 68). In fact, Indians are…

Years’ War, the British and French military were able to witness firsthand the savagery of the Native American tribes. The Europeans, who primarily practiced what they called “civilized warfare”, found the Indians style of fighting much too barbaric. Instead of face to face combat, the Indians liked to use surprise tactics and ambushes. Many of the Europeans found this style of fighting cowardly, that they could not face their enemy in combat face to face. But this did not at all halt the use of…

It is common for people of the first world to wander from their place of home to consume food that might not be completely natural to them. Some do prefer to stick to what they know, but others like to experience something new and fresh. I, personally, enjoy going out to eat. I like trying foods that I don’t normally have prepared for me at home. In that, there are places that I like to visit more than once, because I can appreciate the service, ethnicity, and quality of food that they offer.…

pastor from New York, since we came all the way to South Africa and heard a sermon from another American pastor. The pastor’s sermon was about love and acceptance, which is also interesting given the churches history and apartheid. Another aspect of the service, which I thought was different was the use of incents. I had never been to a church service where they used incents, which were symbolizing cleansing and for prayer. I thought it was an interesting element to the service, although I was…

Ernest Hemingway once said ”there is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men.

When approached, the woman is screaming on top of her lungs. Nick asks why, and his father has to explain to him that she is in labor. Nick has an uneasy feeling and keeps looking away.

Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States of America, he served two terms as a Democratic Republican from 1829-1837. The entire Jackson campaign not only started up revolutionary political election tactics such as rallies, parades, and lavish dinners that supporters paid for, but it also sparked up a whole new era of mass democracy, and gave birth to the political party that we now know as the “Democrats”. Mr. Jackson considered himself, a president for the people, with a…

Hemingway App makes your writing bold and clear. America isn’t a promised land, nor is it a hodge-podge of everyone who wanted a different life from the norm. It’s a hypocrisy, from the roots to the leaves. The first time I realized this was the summer of my sophomore year of high school. The day in question, August 9th, didn’t start out any different for me. I woke up to the early morning peeking and browsed the internet, as any teen with a free summer day on their hands does. I had only just…
