Code Talkers Chapter Summary

Yes, I could read more books about this topic because this book was very interesting to me because I love learning about US history and what happened to make this country free. I have been interested in this topic for a long time and will keep reading these books until I get bored with them. I fell like it is important for an American to learn about his/her country so they can know why they came here. I also like this

Imagine a world in which men could act feminine and women could act masculine without being judged. Now try and identify why this may never happen. Men and women are both taught at an early age what they can and cannot do because of what gender they were born as; they are markedly similar in this aspect. There is a known gender stereotype for girls and boys, and the parents of these children enable these stereotypes from the day that they are born. girls are given pink clothes, and boys are given blue clothes. These colors set the rules of how they must behave for the rest of their lives, this idea is known as The Girl and Guy code. It is all black and white thinking, or in the case pink and blue. There is no in-between because once you stray from the code it is immediately recognized and looked down upon. Although the girl and guy code are almost polar opposites, they go hand in hand with one another because they are both used among society as a way to create a better image in front of others. The Woman looks better in the eyes of other women if she is more lady-like, and a man looks better in front of men if he is more manly; both genders deal with a heavy set of homosocial ideals.

In conclusion, this book would not be recommended as an authentic historical piece of literature. The beginning and end of the book is based solely in racism eluding the realities of what happened at the Alamo and why it happened. Crisp is defending his own research rather than having a well-rounded historical book based on facts from all sides and he uses historical documents where there is a language barrier and therefore the translation is done with speculation. Crisp says in the book that there were no survivors of the Alamo when there were known survivors who did in fact do interviews and saw the massacre firsthand. This is not a recommended book to read for perspective on what happened at the

Personally, the book taught me a lot about how people deal with situations when under pressure, people’s need for power and how easy it really if for a war to break out and I found that in my mind I could easily link what was going

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as it went into great detail on various events and the thoughts of each of the people involved. It was an easy book to follow, which can be hard with a book that covers so much information. I would definitely recommend this to another US History student or someone that enjoys learning about not only history, but life changing events, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I was very interested in John F. Kennedy and his death after watching the movie on Lifetime that Mrs. Macioce wanted us to watch earlier in the year. I decided to choose this book to further my knowledge on the topic, especially since we have recently learned about mentioned

Overall this book was very, very good. It teaches good morals in interesting ways, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who would like a good, nonfiction read. There are many memoirs but this one is sure to leave an impression on you. In other news, Paramount took the liberty of purchasing the film rights to The Glass Castle, a movie that should be extremely interesting in the coming years. I hope they do a good

The story starts out by explaining how the main character “William” is a Spokane Indian. But, not just a typical Indian. He didn’t live on the reservation or have any ties to any Indian Casino, instead he was his own man. William had a demanding job that made him travel quite a lot. He was away from his family too much and even though he enjoyed his job, he despised the fact that he had to be away from his wife and children so much.

From information gathered, my opinion is that this book had emotional effect on most people. It was tragic and sad and also a profound impact on readers when it was first published. It talked about the history of the white settlement of the American west which was told by the people who were there both white and indian which was not learned in school. It is a great book which present a people who loved the earth and respected human life. It also talked about the loss of a beautiful land and the demise of a conscientious and spiritual way of life and finally the extirpation of a nation of people. The interest in environmental issues was growing and the accounts of the destruction by the settlers of the Eastern forest, the soiling of the rivers

The book, Sioux Code Talkers of World War II by Andrea Page, is about Native Americans serving in World War II and using their unique language as code against the Axis powers. The book goes over the time during World War II and also World War I. Native Americans were never treated fairly by the American people coming over from England. American people always felt superior to other races. During World War II Native Americans joined the military to help serve their country. In World War II Germans were good at tapping communication lines and decoding messages.

In 1997, a group of Indian Code Talkers were communicating between radio during war time communications. These codes were created by Native Americans, also the Choctaw language was used during these wars to create secret messages. The United States used these codes because they believed it would secure any messages that they send. Navajo Code Talkers had many advantages in WWII because it saved millions of lives due to their ability to communicate with one another. Since the United States had this code, it gave them an advantage against their enemies.

In Sherman Alexie’s The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (2007) a teenage boy named Junior, explains his struggle of breaking the cycle of his indigenous people and moving between an Indian American reservation (the ‘rez’) and a mainstream school in a town called Reardon. The protagonist explains, through first-person accounts, his life on the reservation and his experiences as he attempts to break the cycle of alcoholism and poverty that is imposed on him merely because he is an Indigenous American. One theme that remains constant throughout the novel is that of lack of hope that the Indians have for their futures, they see no need for dreams or hopes as, for them, there is no way that they can achieve any more than any of their ancestors. Another theme that is present through Part-Time Indian is poverty and the cycle of negative events that lead to it continuing. This leads to the Indigenous Americans having no hope. An extremely broad theme that is present in this novel is identity. Junior explains very simply how being Native American leads to his peoples’ inevitable poverty. There are many aspects in Part-Time Indian where some actions and habits are considered normal.

“What I’m about to tell you, Corporal, cannot leave this room. Under no circumstances can you allow your code talker to fall into enemy hands. Your mission is to protect the code… at all cost.” In the movie, Windtalkers, this is how a commander wants his marine to treat the paired Navajo code talker. That is, if it’s necessary, his marine could kill the Navajo, just like abandoning one of his properties. Even in the mid 1900s, the Native Americans were still treated not as human beings, but rather, machines; therefore, it is not hard for us to imagine how even more frightening the Native Americans’ circumstances were in the early days when they were first colonized by the western settlers. In Deborah Miranda’s “Indian

I never knew about it, but once I read the book I felt more knowledgeable and it made me want to go out and read more information on the topic. There were a couple of pictures included in the book which really brought the reality of the war. There are candid pictures of Brady as he passed the time in the snow and photos of human bones found after snow had began to melt.

In the story The Code Book by Simon Singh, the story is about breaking codes and encrypting them. The author writes it in a scientific way and presents a central idea and supporting details. He uses a lot of analytical terms and ways to put his point across and to tell the story in the way it needs to be told. He uses scientific words such as encryption, cipher, decipher, electromagnetic, and cryptography. The author uses those sort of words because he wants the reader to know about how to decode things and how scientific and some what difficult this story is when reading and understanding it.

I believe that this book has value and people from all walks of life should read it. We all need to become much more aware of how strong and how damaging this kind of
