Chief Big Foot and his followers were on their way to the Pine Ridge Reservation in hopes that they could persuade those at the stronghold to surrender. The group had stopped along Wounded Knee Creek, and James W. Forscyth intercepted them during the previous night. At daybreak, Forscyth ordered the Indians to surrender their weapons and move from the "zone of military operations" to trains that would take them away. The medicine man of the tribe, Yellow Bird, began urging the tribe to defy the demands of Forscyth, and one Indian, Black Coyote, raised his newly bought rifle and declared that he would not give it up. When Forscyth's troops surrounded Black Coyote to disarm the man, Black Coyote's gun fired off and caused the troops to fire their weapons at other Indians, thus triggering the massacre.
5a: I think that they different because Zaroff from the beginning to kill humans and even though they are both hunters and killers, Rainsford had no choice but to kill Zaroff . Rainsford would never take hunting to that level and Zaroff is proud of his idea to kill humans. What is a quote from the story that catches the theme? 6a: The quote that explains the theme of the story is explained by the quote “The world is made up of two classes--the hunters and the huntees. Luckily, you and I are hunters.” This quote shows that Rainsford thinks that violence is perfectly fine when hunting animals and Zaroff would agree with the quote as well.
We hunt for food and resources. In America, hunting is considered a sport, but not for the Indians. And since Martin said the keeper of the animal make the Indians sick, they go on holy war of revenge, and traded the fur of the animal to the English
In O’Brien’s ‘How To Tell A True War Story’, the story he tells us about Rat Kiley shooting the baby water buffalo both disturbs and intrigues. The act itself is without a doubt horrific, but it does not elicit a response of disgust. The question itself remains however, why did he shoot the buffalo in the first place? Rat’s actions were not random, pointless cruelty, but are in fact indicative of a much deeper, more complex emotional state. We must eliminate several more obvious answers first, but we can find that Rat Kiley is trying to reconcile what he is feeling with the situation he finds himself in.
Lennie had no idea what he was doing, and it wasn’t fair that he should be killed out of hate. George had learned from Candy when he said: "I ought to have shot that dog myself, George. I shouldn't ought to have let no stranger shoot my dog." (Page 86) Candy had taught him that if Lennie's death was unavoidable, it might as well be done by someone who cares about him. Lennie had to be killed out of
The English would trick the Indians to sell their land for less and if the king would not then the English man would create a new Indian king that would sell the land. The English horses would roam onto the Indian land spoiling their land. The English sold alcohol to the Indians and then the drunken Indians would plunder the English cattle and no one could stop them. Easton believed that the grievances were
Unable to verify any hostile intent from the herders,Murphy asked the team what should be done with them. Axelson reportedly voted to kill the Afghans, and Dietz didn't offer an opinion, causing Murphy to state that he would vote the same as Luttrell, who said the herders should be set free. Shortly after the goat herders disappeared over the mountain ridge, the SEALs were confronted by a force of Afghan fighters, estimated between 50-200 strong,causing Luttrell to believe that the released herders had given away their position. The insurgents set up a "well organized, three-sided attack", which forced the SEALs to begin running down the slope. After 45 minutes of fighting, Dietz abandoned the cover of the forest and ran into the open intent
Montezuma, however, chose to lock up the elders and starve them to death so no one else would hear of this. (p.34) His methods never cease to confuse me. He had a picture drawn by an artist that depicted the same events. “Pale men with white beards riding on beasts”(p.85), they didn’t know they were horses yet. I found this to be shocking and very interested.
Why’n’t you shoot him, Candy?’” Another man, Slim, also agrees with Carlson’s beliefs. “‘Carl’s right, Candy. That dog ain’t no good to himself. I wisht somebody’d shoot me if I got old an’ a cripple.’” (Steinbeck, 44-45) The men all agree that the dog is old and has suffered enough, living through the last days of his life. They all want to end the dog’s misery by killing him.
This very well pleased the animals. It came to pass the humans and animals have multiplied, but the humans, after they killed the animals, just left the carcasses of the animals to rot. After Bison Spirit heard enough of the cries of the dead animals’ spirits, he went over and gathered all the humans and gave them one specific rule, “If you decide to kill an animal for now on, you must use the entire body: the meat, the skin, everything, or you shall be punished, because I’m tired of hearing the cries from the spirits of the animals.” This rule became so, that whosoever killed an animal and did not use it all, shall be punished. After telling the entire human race the rule, Bison Spirit disbanded the whole population and spread them out across the Earth, so that it will not get crowded in one area. Creation is now complete and there is no more that needs to be added to the Earth, to make it
