He would always command loudly to his soldiers, he was always the closest to any other warrior when fighting, and most important of all, they were all shooting at him and he was never hit by any bullets. He was one of the best fighters in his time period, probably still the best as of today. What’s significant about Crazy Horse is the fact that everyone thinks of him as a legendary warrior; hence the objects and places that were named after him. After his surrender in the Battle of Little Bighorn, he was stabbed to death. Since this day, everyone always sensed that he was still around as a spirit looking over him or her, protecting him or her like he did

Furthermore, as the author of the biography of Silko, the writer of “The Man to Send Rain Clouds ,” and “Coyote Holds a Full House in His Hand,” remarks, “She concentrates on the everyday life of the people she knows, the distinct mythical, historical, and present-day worlds in which they simultaneously exist.” Consequently, living between two worlds and two cultures adds to the life experience of many Native Americans who blend their ancient traditions with modern life to create a unique life experience. Their connections to their ancestral cultures allow them to incorporate many aspect of the Native American culture into the modern world, which they now have to experience. For instance, in the “The Way to a Rainy Mountain,” the old man who died under the big cotton tree is being buried with Native Americans and Christian traditions. This tradition is incorporated when Leon asked the priest to sprinkle holy water over the dead body of the old man who was wrapped around a red blanket, and whose face was painted with
Through sharing his personal experiences in Vietnam, Heinemann states that he does not believe the country has learned anything from the war. Although many hoped that the war could be remembered as a nostalgic and positive experience, unfortunately it is not remembered in that way. In my opinion, I believe that wars should be remembered and learned from. Most of the time, wars will be viewed in a negative light inevitably however that does not mean that our country should not still learn from past mistakes and move forward. Another main idea Heinemann points out is the idea that Vietnam felt everything had to go their way.

I knew what I would do I’d go see Bill Oliver my old boss, he always admired me I was his favorite salesclerk. We told our father our idea and he was so excited he knew we’d make it.

Each party has their own beliefs on why or why not these documents should or should not be passed and what power is justified. It is these different ideas which helped shape the future of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The Anti-Federalists, such as Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry, were against ratification of the Constitution. They believed that the closer the government was to the people, the easier it was for the people to keep it in check and making it harder for the government to become tyrannical. Anti-Federalist tried to appeal to western settlers with ideas of voting right to everyone and not just rich land holders.
He then meats the latest tribute, Katnis and Peeta, and feels hopeful that they actually have a chance. Because of his renewed hope, he is able to become a sober, worthy mentor and shows that not only is the survivor of a past reaping, but he is a survivor of his traumatic experience and life as a whole. The Hunger Games, being a fight to the death between 24 tributes, twelve females and twelve males, aged between twelve and eighteen is obviously a traumatic experience anyone who survives (Collins 18). As the winner of a past Hunger Games, Haymitch must mentor the future tributes of district and watch year after year as they die. This type of trauma is dealt with in different ways, but Haymitch numbs his pain through the abuse of alcohol.
How does Miller present Joe Keller as a tragic hero In All My Sons? Joe Keller is a man who loves and values his family very much and has sacrificed everything, including his honour, in his struggle to make his family prosperous. He is a self-made business man, who in spite of his humble beginning, has managed to work his way up in the business world and become a successful manufacturer. Joe perfectly fits into the category of tragic hero. Unlike Greek plays, where main characters were kings and nobles for they were thought to embody the whole community, modern tragedies present an average leader of a family, neither completely good nor completely evil, whose mistake leads to his self-destruction.
