Prairie

Willa Cather’s poem entitled Prairie Spring is one of the greatest epigraphs in literature. The use of symbolism, personification, foreshadowing, and similes is the key to Cather’s success of Prairie Spring. The major theme of O Pioneers is natural evolution. The revolution of the setting corresponds to the change of tone in Prairie Spring. The tone shifts when the poem states, “against all this, youth” (Line 10). At that point in Prairie Spring, the land and the youth are perceived as…

In the pilot episode, Prairie debuts as a woman who was missing for the past 7 years. The audience learns that she was blind as a child, but mysteriously, she is no longer blind and refuses to explain how. Prairie holds back her story and it makes her a very suspicious character, and no one can guess whether she was kidnapped or ran away from home. However, it remains a mystery of how she got so far despite being blind before. The first episode of the OA introduces a brief insight to what the…

[SS] Prairie Foods’ “Complete Blueberry Pomegranate” cereal packaging violates California’s ban against “untrue or misleading” advertising. Therefore, the Court should deny Prairie Foods’ motion to dismiss Sabach v. Prairie Foods, Inc. because there are “enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." Williams v. Gerber Prods. Co., 523 F.3d 934, 936 (9th Cir. 2008). [RS] Under Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17500 (2012), advertising is “untrue or misleading” when it includes…

you kill off the prairie dogs there will be no one to cry for rain … In fact, the burrowing animals, like prairie dogs, open breathing tubes in the Earth. The underground aquifers act like the diaphragm in human bodies; the moon as it passes raises and lowers the underground water table and the Earth breathes through the many fissures and tubes opened by the burrowing creatures. The exhalation of moisture-ladened air, filled with negative ions, helps create rain.” The prairie dogs population…

Prairie Band Potawatomie 2017 Pow Wow Dance is an expressive language that often goes beyond most expectations of non-verbal communication. No less can be said of the Prairie Band Potawatomie 2017 Pow Wow. As we arrive we can already hear the sounds of Native American drums filtering through the trees from the campground. Making our way to the arena we see that the ‘Grand Entry’ has begun and the dancers are parading around ‘stomping’ in rhythm to the drums. Elaborately dressed elders are the…

In “The Prairie” Bill appears to be a child trapped in the body of a strong, tall, and bold man. From the narrators point of view Bill is deemed childish and imprudent since he is always oblivious of what is happening around him. The narrator describes Bill as a simple-minded person who has a hard time trying to comprehend the circumstances that they are facing. This could be substantiated through the following quotation: “Bill isn’t the sharpest tack in the drawer. He’s been that way pretty…

During Summer 2014, I was accepted into the Prairie View A&M University Research Experience High School (REH) program.

Upon the completion of the program, I completed a research poster titled: Examining Factors Contributing to BMI Among African American Freshman Students at a HBCU in a Rural Area. My experience in this program allowed me to get a broader…

I agree with Darren on the fact that the show “Little Mosque on the Prairie” would be able to run in the United States. Although the show is about a minority population (Muslims), we see no direct put down of religions. As with anything, timing is everything. In 2002, I think that the show would have had a hard time airing. The attitude to Muslims whether it was justified or not was negative and the show would be cancelled immediately. In 2015 however, the times have changed and this show…
