PesonenWildland Research CenterAgriculture Experiment Station243 Mulford HallUniversity of CaliforniaBerkeley 4, Calif.Dear Mr. Pesonen:I believe that you are working on the wilderness portion of the Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission's report. If I may, I should like to urge some arguments for wilderness preservation that involve recreation, as it is ordinarily conceived, hardly at all.
They lived in a range of structures including pit houses and cliff dwellings. They had a major trade network created and was based in Chacco Canyon and Mesa Verde. As you can see, both of these civilizations were quite advanced and were essential to the growth of our country. There are three main reasons why learning about these two ancient Native American civilizations will be beneficial to us in the present time. They are that we can learn from their mistakes, improve upon their own brilliant inventions, and lastly because it will help us understand how our country’s foundation was laid as these civilizations played a major part in it.

Whether or not these assumptions were correct, they reflect a presumption about the unevenness of historical power” (Trouillot 56). I found Trouillot’s entire chapter to be extremely interesting and to comment on phenomena surrounding historical production and work with primary sources and historical archives that I myself have observed in my own research. I specifically identified with this passage where he discusses his own role in the production of new historical knowledge by acknowledging and/or contradicting the historical power already present in already existing and dominant historical documentation/production. In determining who his audience is and assuming the type of knowledge they will possess, Trouillot is playing into the unevenness of historical power. The more of a general historical overview that he feels it necessary to include, the less new knowledge he may be able to contribute.
Historical Society or Museum Site Analysis: The Kimball House Museum The Kimball House Museum has long been my favorite museum. This museum offers an exciting and thought provoking look into the history of Battle Creek, Michigan. Growing up in Battle Creek, I had the opportunity to visit the Kimball House Museum on several occasions. After choosing this museum, I was excited to revisit an old museum and analyse it in a different way. Many of the in-class readings and discussions helped me appreciate further the time and work that goes into creating a piece of public history.
After migrating to England, her memories of Australia are vividly illustrated by the naturalistic and liberating imagery of “lake, hills, blue green light and high sky.” This accumulative listing, formed into one fast paced sentence reflects how Australia’s landscape has a profound influence on her Australian sense of identity. This deep spiritual connection is reflected through the personification of the mountains which “wooed her.” Similarly to Feliks, this need motivates her to find a familiar “piece of landscape I could breathe in.” This mirrors the idiom of a “piece of cake,” which highlights her deep hunger and the satisfaction in finding a sense of Australian familiarity. References to well known icons such as “Home and Away” and “Neighbours,” reflects her patriotism, providing verisimilitude and connection to Australian readers. The continual references to her past highlight the enduring nature of belonging which may provide our identity from a young
The film The Last of the Mohicans was a great film in 1992, because it was based on a novel from 1826. The Last of the Mohicans opens up with a beautiful shot that takes you back to the natural landscapes where the Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeleine Stowe put out a great performance by developing a love-story that brings the courage and beauty of the Native American warriors to life. The film sets during the French and Indian war which set as a backdrop to the drama involving the principal characters. The key players are Daniel Day-Lewis (Hawkeye) and Madeleine Stowe (Cora) who plays the daughter of a British officer focusing in the relationship between the two of them from where they met when he became the voice of the indigenous culture, because he spoke English being white the British communicated with him, because Daniel wasn’t a true Native American, but he was raised by them since he was two, focusing on the noble fact that the Mohicans took care of him. The roles in the movie are clearly defined as in Little Big Man noble savages with a twist where they can also be the detestable savage.
Characters are more important than the plot and action, and complex ethical choices are often the subject of the literature. Characters are related to nature, to each other, to their social class, and to their own past. This relation makes up the complexity of their personality and motive. Realist writers describe reality in comprehensive detail and use believable events in their stories. Naturalism is the philosophy which tries to apply scientific reasoning to the world.
As motivation is considered a key for education, it is also hypothesized to have correlation with such behaviours affecting studying in general; which in this case: procrastination. Procrastination alone, according to Milgram (1998); Haycock (1998); and Kachgal (2001), is usually defined as the general trait or behavioural disposition for unnecessarily delaying or postponing tasks or even making decisions. This complex behaviour was examined and categorized by Sirin into five headings: (1) General procrastination; (2) Academic procrastination; (3) Decision-making procrastination; (4) Neurotic procrastination, and (5) Non-obsessional or non-functional procrastination.
