Brief Summary Of 'The Nethergrim'

The Indians and Europeans are divided but together in terms of the appeal Indian cultures had on some Europeans. In New Worlds for All, the author Colin Calloway goes into detail about how some of the Europeans had interest in Indian cultures because of the woman and networking they had over there. Calloway says about the European traders in Indian territory that “Traders in Indian country enjoyed casual sexual encounters with Indian woman, but they also cultivated relationships that tied them into Indian kinship networks and gave them a place in the community” (Calloway. 154). In other words, the Europeans that had interest in living in Indian territory were there for sexual pleasures from the Indian woman as well as having a better life

Ultima teaches Antonio of this magical strength as she tries to help him understand the murder of Narciso. The townspeople do not seek justice because Narciso had been the town drunk and his life seemed worthless, “Because Narciso was the town drunk, nobody cared much”. Ultima explains that Narciso had died trying to help a friend and that was honorable. Once Narciso had been a respectable young man but hard times had fallen upon him after the death of his young wife. Narciso had turned to alcohol to ease the pain but had remained forever indebted to Ultima for trying to save his wife. Ultima uses the death of Narciso to teach Antonio the ways of his ancestors. She explains, “The old people…always helped each other; through good or bad they stuck together, and the friendships that were formed in that desolate llano were bonds for life”. It was through Ultima that Antonio discovers life is not what is always seems. Narciso had died trying to warn Ultima but few remembered anything good about him. Narciso had an inner goodness that had been hidden by his use of alcohol. Ultima taught Antonio to see the magic in Narciso, just as she had thought him to see the magic in the river and all that surrounded it.

Ta-Nehisi Coates describes the American Dream as, “It is the perfect houses with nice lawns. It is Memorial Day cookouts, block associations, and driveways. The Dream is treehouses and Cub Scouts. The Dream smells like strawberry shortcake.” In Between the World and Me Ta-Nehisi Coates teaches his son, Samori not feel like he has to be like the Dreamers because they will have to find themselves out of the Dream by going through the struggle which they’ve created. He also says the Dream is mainly for rich white people and those people who believe in the Dream are called the Dreamers.

After their success in their first video, Haida Raid 2, the song writers and producers came together once again to produce a second segment. In their first video they showcased their views on the pipeline and oil dilemma as well as trying to reach the audience of the general public, they did so through rhetoric. Rhetoric is a technique used by most authors to assist them in persuading their specific audience. According to the Oxford English dictionary rhetoric can be defined as “the art of using language effectively so as to persuade or influence others “(Rhetoric, n. d). With this definition in mind, and “others” as the specific audience, this document will provide an analysis of how rhetoric was used to persuade the audience by the author,

The book Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates offers a poignant reminder that the battle for equality is still ongoing for African Americans, and that the average black reality is rife with perils, which could easily lead to the destruction of life or liberty. In the wake of the recent string of deaths involving unarmed African American citizens by the hands of local law enforcement, Coates presents his narrative in the style of a letter to his son. Writing in the form of a letter offers a deeper sense of intimacy both with its perceived intended subject (Coates’s son) and the reader. The intimacy expressed through this narrative style denotes Coates’s own intense emotions to the reader regarding race in America. In this way, Coates offers a view that is authentic, humanistic, and emotionally charged contrary to just being an omniscient narrator.

Geologically ‘almost’ centered in North America, Mandan Indians occupied “the heart of the world”, present day North Dakota, where the Heart River joins the Missouri River. They were once cradled prosperous human settlements, but Mandan Indians are only mentioned in History when Meriwether Lewis and William Clark spent the winter with them in 1804-1805**. Elizabeth A. Fenn took a trip to North Dakota in 2002, and she had an urge to write about Mandan Indians. For twelve years, she spent time to gather and learn every aspect that can bring Mandan Indians. She learned archaeology, anthropology, geology, climatology, epidemiology, and nutritional science, anything that could bring Mandan past. Winner

The investigative piece consists of anecdotes of famous stories (such as the Rice video), denunciation of TMZ (by showing how badly the celebrities are affected),

Stefan Zweig means explains the “Golden Age of Security” in numerous ways. The Golden Age of security is very significant in the novel, “The World of Yesterday”. The Golden Age of Security took place before the First World War in the younger years of the life of Stefan Zweig. For example, “If I try to find some useful phrase to sum up the time of my childhood and youth before First World War, I hope I can put it most succinctly by calling it the Golden Age of Security” (Zweig 23). This quote shows his views on what he calls the Golden Age of Security is. Everyone lived their lives in a more convenient and easier way.

When it comes to Nabokov’s explanation on how a book or any work of art, is “the creation of a new world”(1), it is being seen that literature or art itself  has a hidden value that is unseen until it’s investigated with no prior knowledge. The interpretation of his explanation is proven that “when this new world has been closely studied, then and only then let us examine its links with other worlds, other branches of knowledge” (Nabokov,15). This piece of evidence exemplifies that if we study art and literature as something we’ve never approached before, that is only when we’d be able to see its hidden value. To bring his point further it is only right to state that if we are “approaching it as something brand new, having no obvious connection
