This shows that the aspects of human life should never be taken for granted. Jack London…

"Are you sure that we're allowed to be here, Evan?" Jules asked, looking around at where the two were. "Of course we are, Jules. It's a desert, not The White House. Now c'mon, less talkie, more makie outie." Evan forcefully put his arm around the girl, a tight grip asserting his dominance. It was a desert, somewhere near town. Jules had expected it to be burning hot, but in the starry night, it was actually quite chilly. Ominous sounds came from every nook and cranny, making her worry grow…

In line one she talks of how she has "...not been able to touch the destruction within me...." (1030) The destruction may represent her own hatred for the corruptness of white politics. That corruption that she has not given in to, yet. In line two and three she talks again of using the difference she finds in poetry versus rhetoric. This difference is meaningfully doing something against these type of injustices. Line…

for containing strong emotional and moral messages. The stories are used to teach a moral lesson or understand why things are a certain way, or how they came to be. For example, deserts were created when Phaethon was driving his father’s sun chariot, essentially burning certain parts of the earth such as Africa to form deserts.

Dear commenter, let me try and answer your question through an anthropological perspective. I will give you 4 distinct examples from four different Native American tribes. My first example is from the White Mountain Apache tribe in Arizona. To the Apache people, lands are not just private properties that are bought and sold. Land to the Apache hold a great deal of influence. The land also is the greatest tie the modern Apache have with their ancestors. Throughout the Wisdom Sits in Places…

I was recently reading a short memoire, “Where the World Began,” written by Margaret Lawrence. It made me realize that the world has not changed much in their thinking. Margaret starts by describing the prairies, and I couldn’t help but laugh to myself.
