For my museum report I chose to visit the Bowers Museum in Garden Grove California. The gallery that was my favorite by far was the gallery representing early California. Inside this gallery there were a few dozen paintings of what California used to look like before the industrialization that we have today. That’s when I noticed “South Sierra Lake” by Edgar Alwin Payne. Being an avid outdoorsman this painting spoke to me like none of the others, it reminded me of all the memorable days I’ve spent backpacking through the Sierra Nevada mountains with my friends.
Jeremy Benguma Professor Amir Sharifi ESL 53C April 18, 2014 Bowers Museum During my weekend, on Saturday March 8th, 2014, I spent the whole day, with my aunt, who volunteered as a tour guide, at the Bowers Museum. She helps out by answering questions, and explaining about cultural artifacts, to young high school students. So that is when I got the idea, to do up a profile about the Bowers Museum. The Bowers Museum is located in Santa Ana, Orange County, California. The museum was named after Charles Bowers, a late 1800s Orange County land developer, who donated the land on which it stands to the City of Santa Ana.

One Big Soul Prompt: Support the idea that a major theme in this novel is that all men are part of the family of man. In the novel, The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck shows theme through the hardships of the Okies. Even through the hardships they faced on the journey to California, the Joad Family helped give rides and food to other poor migrants. The Joads were also helped buy others also in misfortune. Even though most Okies were low on money and didn’t have space in their cars, they let others in need join them.
Teofilo is given a traditional Indian burial, and Louis, another family member, suggests that holy water be sprinkled on Teofilio’s grave. Leon goes to see the priest, who eventually agrees to do so. Throughout the story, we see a theme of respect; whether it be the respect Teofilo’s family has for him, or the respect from those of both Indian and Catholic have for the others belief. The actions of characters in “The Man to Bring Rain Clouds” reflect the theme of respect. In the beginning, Leon ties a feather in his grandfather’s hair, symbolizing the respect he has for him.

Throughout the story, you see bits and pieces of both the Indian culture, and the American culture in him. There are many occasions where Victor associates himself with the American culture; he puts a cowboy hat, and a dodgers hat on his fathers ashes, he tries squeezing as much money as he can from the reservation for personal gain, and is very disrespectful to the symbol of traditional Indian culture-Thomas. Although Victor shows association to the American culture, there are still many occasions where he associates with the Indian culture. Victor still follows Indian practices (cremation, etc), he still lives on the Indian reservation (he did not, and does not seem to want to leave), and when Cathy the gymnast asked if he was Indian, he replied, “full blood” with no hesitation. Victor doesn’t clearly relate to a specific culture.
