Daniel M. Cobb's Native Activism in Cold War America: The Struggle for Sovereignty examines an often overlooked side of the American Indian Movement (AIM). This book is Cobb’s argument against the "tendency to fixate on AIM" throughout history. Cobb states that his attempt is to "decenter and resituate [AIM] within a larger context of Native political action." (2) Cobb is not looking to take away from everything that the American Indian Movement has fought for, instead he wants to bring…

where the movie is taking place. But this technique is also used in many other movies directed by Tim Burton such as “Big Fish.” In this movie Tim Burton uses this technique to show the audience an old house that is a dirty white and has branches and vines around it making it look old, and creepy which we could see because of this shot letting the audience know what the house looks like. Making this cinematic technique help the audience know the setting of a science of…

Traveling to an island looking for something no one knows anything about is an adventure of a lifetime. Exploring the unknown can bring many different emotions from many different people. Having a crew where all the information is disclosed even after setting sail. Once arriving, seeing the native villagers participating in a ceremony and then disrupting/spoiling the ceremony caused everything to go downhill. The 1933’s King Kong is a subpar film in my opinion. Its filled with a very early…

captured their attention. Eshe fell to her knees and covered her ears. “My sister” She cried. “Don’t listen, they’re playing games with your head, it’s not her you hear!” Logan helped her up. Just as Ava and Francis pushed forward a corpse wrapped in a vine and sprung out at them from the coiled trees. Ava shrieked as she looked up at her deceased mother. “It’s not real” Francis reassured her as he took his shaken sister into his arms. A choir of laughter burst from the hills and the rain that…

The Harlem Renaissance was an African-American cultural movement in Harlem, New York during the 1920s and 1930s. It witnessed a revolutionary upsurge in artistic, social, political and cultural expression and instilled empowerment in African-Americans as they fought racial oppression and injustice. Langston Hughes, widely regarded as a major leader and influential writer of the Harlem Renaissance, wrote poetry and prose often promoting racial pride, condemning racism, and depicting the diverse…

Among the many arguments for intelligent design, Behe’s argument of irreduciblecomplexityisbyfaroneofthemostfascinatingones. Whilemany may consider Darwin’s theory of evolution to be the catch-all argument that irrefutably demolishes any and all argument for intelligent design, Behe manages not only to propose a design theory compatible with it, but also to use it to further empower his argument. Ultimately, Behe’s irreducible complexity argument lacks the support needed to differentiate itself…

frame, breaking apart into seeds, twigs, leaves, and petals in an endless loop. There is an array of colors being used in this piece. The flowers range from red poppies, to yellow and pink tulips, and a various purple and white wildflowers and green vines and stems. The blue flowers bring a sense of calmness to the sea of flowers, while the red flowers bring forth a sense of power and love. The bright golden-yellows, orange hues and white flowers in contrast radiate warmth both through emotions…

There are many metaphors and similes in this poem. One example of a metaphor in this poem is, "My garden overflows, thick and wild and hidden." By using this metaphor, I get a lot of images flowing through my mind. I picture a cave, filled with green vines and bright wild flowers, and that line really sets that image for me. Another 'metaphor in the poem is, "with a clean heart." I like this metaphor, because Calypso's heart isn't really being washed or anything. It's just stating the fact that…

The non-native plants are actually very harmful to the environment. For example "some vine-like plants actually grow over original trees and plants, but growing so thick that they block out water flow and movement of animals," quoted from "Are the Everglades Forever?" This is a huge problem but people only think about themselves and what…

Many people argue this question, "Is social media is good for our society," on a daily basis. The average adult would say no due to the fact that some people take their lives away from it. Martin Baily states specific and elaborative facts on why it could benefit us. For quite a while, we have been focusing on the negatives and not the positives. If you look deeper into this statement, you would see why I think social media is in fact good for our society. In our generation, social media is a…
