Bucky: The Power Of Words

1. Buck - A half St. Bernard and half sheepdog that was kidnapped and sold as a sled dog.

Many characters in Morrison’s book are given names that describe them somehow throughout the story. Names in the book or either historically based or given in regards to the character’s personality or events that happened throughout the book. As the story goes on, character either let names define them or escape them.

Curley: On the surface Curley is called Curley because his hair is curly. on a deeper level his nickname was also a description of his personality. Curly didn't have good control with his anger and he would lash out unpredictably, like a curl.

In 2017, John Koenig completed a seven year project in which he wrote a book called The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows (Koenig)1. In writing this book, Koenig’s goal was to help people communicate feelings and emotions through words that never before existed (Koenig)2 . Without words, it would be difficult to understand others at all. While it is easy to see someone’s physical pain, without words, it would be hard to truly understand what they are feeling. Koenig’s book helps to further our understanding of each other with words that describe things we all feel but find hard to put into words.

… I had forgot what my name was. So I laid there about an hour trying to think, and when Buck waked up I says:

I enjoyed the Craft talk with Kerry Howley on the role of the narrator as a character in the story. It was particularly interesting to focus on the narrator and to actually get the chance to develop the narrator as a character. She mentioned that often the narrator is the character that gets the least amount of attention from the author, which seems bizarre. The narrator is the character with which the entire narrative arc is seen. Intuitively you would think that this character would receive the most attention from the author. The characteristics of the narrator can influence every detail of the story.

Buck is a type of dog that doesn’t give give up, he was taken through some of the worst conditions and yet survived them. He was stolen, he was beaten, he was forced to run the entire distance of the Yukon mountain range. But yet he pushed through clung to life as if it was the only thing left that he had.

Cutline: –Ralph Huskey describes himself as an “old country boy.” In Tennessee, he spends his days, on and off the clock, delighting in simple pleasures.

     After all that he had been through, one would hardly suppose that Buck could love a person. However, love he can and love he does. He loves John almost more than is possible; once, as a joke, John commanded Buck to “Jump!” over a cliff. A second later, he was struggling with Buck at the very edge of the precipice. They could happily live together for the rest of their lives...if it weren’t for “the call”.

* Buck –a proud and powerful dog, half St Bernard and half shepherd dog, who begins life on a comfortable Californian estate as a family pet, yet soon changes when he is stolen and sold to work as a sled dog in the frozen North.

Genesis Chapter 15 is God’s covenant of a son and land to Abram’s people as a reward for Abram’s faithfulness. These promises are fulfilled in the later chapters of Genesis and in Exodus. The book of Genesis is the first book of the Old Testament in the Bible, written to the people of Israel. The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew; “Genesis” in Hebrew is translated as “in the beginning.” Within the book of Genesis, the journeys of God’s creations are explained.

!” In many cases individual artists make their own artwork. Michaelangelo Buonarroti did most of the painting. Vincent van Gogh painted all his own paintings, because as he wrote to his brother Teo, he valued the act of creation more than life itself. Eva Hesse made seventy sculptures during the few years of her life, even though she is very ill much of the time. She was driven to create work that seemed off balanced and expressed life’s absurdity and fundamental strangeness. Pieces lean against walls, spread across the floor, or hang on ceilings often made from materials that seem fragile or barely

A Farewell to Arms is acclaimed author Ernest Hemingway’s second standalone novel, published in 1929. The novel is set on the battlefront of World War I and tells the tragic love story of Frederic Henry, an American ambulance driver in the Italian army, and Catherine Barkley, a grieving British nurse. Joel Armstrong’s article, “‘A Powerful Beacon’: Love Illuminating Human Attachment in Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms”, provides an in-depth analysis of the use of love throughout the novel, supported by the views of philosophers as well as Hemingway himself. Armstrong uses these viewpoints to determine what type of love story A Farewell to Arms is. In the end, Armstrong states that the love between Henry and Barkley is so complex and impacted by other variables that it defies all other love stories and forces readers to “re-evaluate, head on, the question of love”(Armstrong 81). Armstrong’s position on A Farewell to Arms is supported by Henry’s change throughout the novel, the impact of war on Henry and Barkley’s relationship, and Catherine’s unexpected and sudden death.

Finally, Steve’s last story was about death. At this point I was thinking he had gone through enough and finally was going to gain the happiness he deserved. Unfortunately I was wrong.

Eventually Steve had a miracle. The cancer ended up being cured.
