Good evening Mr. Wehmeyer, this is Roderigo here. I feel not the need to excuse my love but find myself in a situation where it be necessary ( can’t afford to worsen my grade.) But do hear me out! For your lessons have not been in vain. I surely can explain my actions using what we have learned in class these many weeks and that I will, starting now.

John Grady is not your average cowboy. All the Pretty Horses is not your typical coming-of-age story. This is an honest tale. Cormac McCarthy follows John Grady as he embarks on his journey of self-discovery across the border. Armed with a few pesos in his pocket, a strong horse and a friend at his side, John Grady thinks he’s ready to take on the Wild West of Mexico. At their final steps in America, a stranger, aged thirteen, joins our heroes. This unexpected variable named Blevins challenges John Grady, testing his character and pushing him to uncomfortable limits. The dynamic of their relationship reveals John Grady’s capacity to care for others as he shelters this kid from the hardships of reality and the

Welcome, dear family and relatives of Banquo, noble thanes and kinsmen. You have come far and to attend this funeral in Lochaber and pay tribute to my best friend and your brave soldier. His death was untimely and it is truly hard for me to speak of him now that he is deceased. I am here today not to speak of his death and that he is no longer here by my side but to speak of his times of great triumph. His death has hurt me and I will do whatever it takes to destroy the lives of those people who murder him. All of you and myself will mourn the loss of one of our great soldiers and my best friend.

A phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor. To a phoenix, death is merely the birth of something new. Similarly, in All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy, death represents the beginning of something new. It is what causes change in the characters, and can explain why they act as they do. The novel begins with the death of John Grady Cole’s (the main character) grandfather. This death leads to John Grady leaving for Mexico. So in a way, this death really does mark the beginning of this novel- literally and figuratively. Furthermore, halfway through All the Pretty Horses, John Grady’s ill fated companion Blevins is killed. This death represents a change in the characters,

I am the daughter of a livestock dealer. My father was an amazing wrangler and rancher. Throughout my life, we have bought and sold many horses--too many to count, and I have also sent my own fair share to the slaughter plants. As a young teen I had a horse we called Whino, he was a great horse for me when I was learning to ride and wanting to follow Dad around. There comes a time in a horse’s life when they are not capable of doing what they once were or that they become sore or crippled to lead a life with meaning or comfort. I was raised to understand life and death and that one will follow the other. I knew when we had

Fate plays a very powerful role throughout this novel. The idea that everything is inevitably planned. In the beginning of the novel John Grady, seems pretty content with the idea of fate, although his idea of fate was that he would be the one taking over his deceased grandfather. When that didn't work out he took fate into his own hands and went out in the world in search for his future with his best friend and right hand man Lacy Rawlins. When certain things begin to happen to Grady and Rawlins, his view of fate is somewhat confused and he does whatever he can to resent against the laws and create his own fate.

After a few weeks I returned to horseback riding; after a year I returned to redeem myself at the same show. As fate would have it, I drew the same horse from the previous year. Flashbacks of the accident raced through my mind as my coach broke the bad news. I immediately ran to Claire, tears welling up in my eyes.

The article focused on the formation of Native American consciousness through five personal themes unique to each individual. The five themes are as listed: “Native American language and culture, validity of one's genealogy, adoption of Native American world perspective that aligns with traditional native American customs, one's self concept as a Native American, and enrollment or not in a tribe.” (Horse, 2005, p. 65) Throughout the article horse starts to discuss the oppressive history of Native American groups in the United States and the socio-cultural conflicts that Native American culture have had with “White” mainstream culture. The legal status and cultural change provided an in depth look of how different

Grant’s white horses finally arrive for him and he becomes more aware and gathers insight about how to learn and cope with tragedies in his life. Waiting for white horses is the theme of how people will become able to receive intuition about the journey of their life. There is an idea expressed towards the end of the book that describes Grant’s dad’s funeral. It is the idea of a funeral being sad that I refute with. I disagree with the book’s thoughts and believe that funerals should not be mournful, but in fact they should celebrate and reflect someone’s life and also celebrate the beginning of one.

It was third grade, and I got the opportunity of a lifetime. I was going to get my very own short story published! I would be the author, the illustrator, and my own idol. I can recall how it all happened very vividly.

Finalizing, death is the word we all live to avoid, and we forget to actually live. According to Piven, the fear of death plays a critical role in our emotions (2004). We fear the idea of the unknown when in reality stepping into its thought it could ignite positivity within ourselves. Writing my own personal funeral eulogy for this assignment was a bit difficult at first, but with an open mind regarding such topic I was able to connect with myself in a unique and new way. None of us are completely certain of the possibilities presented when our lives some to end, but being aware of the fact and writing your own eulogy like this assignment enhanced us to presents you with new insights of how you are living life now.

Hello to all lovely people here. Though I am not really as elderly as you, I have my own share of problems for conceiving. As far as IVF is concerned, I think most centres have their upper age lmiti set for allowing IVF treatment using "own eggs"of somewhere between 42 and 45 years of age. This is because egg quality decreases with age – and it declines steeply after 35. A degree of realism is needed. So its very important to have a complete claritiy with your medical team before arriving in any decision.

Have you ever had someone do something so small and simple but have such a huge impact on you? That one thing that makes you feel unstoppable. That one thing for me was my uncle Mike. Mike, no matter where you were or what you were doing could make light out of any situation. There were no comments made of “this day is so slow”, or “work sucks”, the everyday complaints of the average American. Mike was my number one inspiration in life. He saved people’s lives in the military, and in his everyday job as a prison officer.
