Reindeer

For my animal performance scene I was a reindeer. The biggest strengths that I had for my scene was my movement, portrayal of eating, and display of the prey-like nature of a reindeer. During research I learned that a reindeer walks heavily but also spry. I properly conveyed this concept in my scene by leaping from leg to leg, making sure to lead with my knees when I was in the air and to place my weight on my leading foot when I landed. Since reindeer eat grass and shrubs that is often buried under snow, I used my legs to display digging through snow similar to how a reindeer does. Lastly I displayed my reindeer as a prey by abruptly halting while I was eating to look slowly around for a predator. The first area of improvement for my scene…

I took another trip to Pao Hall of Visual and Performing Arts to see the Senior Exhibit. I was quite impressed by the artworks that were displayed in the Patti and Rusty Rueff Gallery. As I walked around the West Gallery, there was an artwork that I kept going back to. I reckoned it was a sign. An art student named Congdi Wang used a single instrument, a ballpoint pen specifically, to draw Deer in Forest (Figure 1). Compared to my inept and appalling ability to draw or doodle anything noteworthy…

It was Sunday, October 10th and it was a beautiful afternoon to go hunting. The sun was shining and colorful leaves were falling to the ground as the trees swayed back and forth. My dad and I walked to my grandpa's hunting stand that was in the center of the hay field. We got settled in and watched for deer. The sun was starting to set when I heard leaves crunching behind us. A few minutes later some deer walked out of the woods. They moved closer to the hunting stand and started grazing on the…

My ancestors were Norwegians so if I was a nomad I would be a Norwegian nomad that would be herding reindeers like a pro by now! I would have the same job as my daddy because I followed in his footsteps. We would migrate every year so the reindeers would not run out of their food supply. If they ran out they would obviously die by starvation! Also if I were a random nomad person I wouldn't be at this school or at any other school because I would be taught at my laavu, portable tent. Each herder…

Seven point three billion people in the world suffers from chronic undernourishment in 2015 and 2016. THe world is so unequal because of geography. Geography influences the world’s inequality because latitude affects climate in geographic locations. Climate determines inequality because it it dictates what locations have resources such as the ability to farm, qualification to domesticate animals, the capability to resist disease, and the intelligence to produce steel. The geographic locations…

The two poems "Traveling through the Dark" and "The Woodchucks" both have a relation to animals, and they each had to do something to put them away for a reason. The two poems also have differences they differ by the friendliness , the way the animals were handled, and the forms of the poem. The poem "Traveling through the dark" is this friendly person who actually stops along the highway road to check on this hit deer to see if it was still alive.The speaker in this poem is caring to the…

In the poem Traveling through the Dark by William Stafford a quick overview is that it gets into a man driving on a curvy road along a mountain side at night, then sees a dead deer on the road and gets out of his car and throws it into the river. The poem itself is exceedingly detailed and finds a way of pulling different emotions out of the reader, while also having different meanings to different people. My secondary source was by Terry Fairchild, who did an analysis on the poem traveling…

Arwin thought of how he would get the deer out, and then looked around him. He saw a many broken trees and logs from past storms, and thought of a plan. He could form a ramp from the trees so the deer could climb out. He told the deer his idea and gave it a try. Arwin placed his bag on the ground and pulled the thick branches over to the edge of the brook. He pushed the logs one by one and used all his might and they slid of the crumbly edge and they all shot into the water and locked into the…

Shelly is probably the highest quality deer head that has ever been found in a high school industrial technology department dumpster. This summer, a head of a buck was thrown out by the board office secretaries of Buckeye High School in Medina county. When asked why they would throw out such a high-quality deer head, they responded that it creeped them out and made them uncomfortable; although, it is evident that many feel otherwise. Benjamin Lutman, Buckeye Industrial Arts teacher talks about…

WOOF. THUMP. Silence. Those are the sounds you hear when you are driving down the road, going 20 miles over the speed limit, and you hit a family dog that was simply crossing the street. You wouldn’t just leave it there, would you? Nobody would. If it were a deer, would your decision be different? In the poem “Traveling Through The Dark” by William Stafford, the speaker has this hard decision to make. Does he save the deer, or kill it off? The speaker’s actions in the poem may appear humane at…
