I Take My Hat Off Analysis

Not all elements and symbols of patriotism should come in the form of flowers, anthems, or flags. In fact, some are just living human, human beings. Those people have done tremendous jobs which cannot be expressed in mere words. From a tender age, Canadians are trained to appreciate that some of the country’s honored symbols are their fellow compatriots who have achieved great fame or success for their positive contributions as well as various good deeds to their country.

As the title of the article indicates, arguments about Canadian culture also make up a large portion of the article’s logos. The author argues that sports shows in Canada “feature the top fights every night” and points out that “almost all NHL goons are Canadian” (par.13). He continues, arguing that one particular proponent of violence in hockey “can’t stand seeing his country’s game wussified by foreigners” (par.14). This is a bold assertion, and is one he backs away from rather

First, in her essay “Chief Little Feather, Where Are You”? She was a child, she reflected her loneliness. For example, she explained that her parents owned an appliance store, but especially she remarked that she felt lonely because her parents never had time for her. As she said, “If my father was the brain of the business, my mother was the heart and the soul”. (pg.4). Most of the time she had to do her homework by her own because their parents worked long hours at the store. At her young age her father lets her and her sister Linda to walk home at night. He seemed that he did not care about them, but just the money.

Catherine is like a bird trapped in her cage. Many things are going through her mind. She's asking herself many questions. How will I get out? Or why am I even trapped?

The second discussion board posting I chose to respond to is by Hyesoo Byun, and he posted it under, “DB 3: Red Jacket.” He posted it on October 4th, 2016 in the third discussion board posting. I agree with his posting and ideas like how the Great Spirit is their ultimate leader; the Great Spirit creates and gives everything to the Indians that they need. Hyesoo states, “The Great Spirit is a universal supreme being that was worshiped among some Native American tribes as the universal provider and creator. From the Great Spirit there were nature like the sun and the moon and creation like animals and plants for food and clothings” (Byun). The Great Spirit did a lot for them, so Hyesoo is correct. For example, “The Great Spirit had made it for the use of Indians. He

Sometimes it is easy to forget the game played on frozen ponds and backyard rinks, and get lost in the overwhelming professional sport known as hockey. However, we strive to remember that hockey became Canada's game because it made our never-ending winter months more bearable . The game gradually became a sport, then an entertainment industry. It seems like the lockout was one of the biggest news stories of the year. Part of the amazing nature of the game is that it's origins are fairly vague. However, we always remember that hockey is our game. It may not be our official sport, like lacrosse is, but hockey is what Canada seems to be most well-known for, and it continues to have immense influence on our free society, with its unique style

The story Fearless by Eric Blehm takes readers deep into SEAL Team SIX, straight to the story of one of its greatest operators, Adam Brown. Adam is a man who has a lot of rough patches in his life. Somehow he manages to power through until the end and even manages to get into the Navy SEALs. Adam Brown achieves his own American Dream by overcoming his hardships and having his family and friends surround and support him.

I disagree with Lauren Slater’s theory that throughout a person's life, one will only surround themselves with ideas and people similar to their own because, it is easy to see that people enjoy controversy and over the course of our lives, our beliefs and ideas can change.

Cultural issues are complicated ones to solve. Sometimes it is even tough to express opinions about them. It is an area where one has had to establish one's bona fides before weighing in. The audience has to be assured that the commentator loves Canada more or at least as much as the next person and is willing to stop at nothing to protect our culture. Trade consultants wanting to mine the cultural field are well advised to have a Can-lit or artistic icon as an immediate family member. Otherwise, they need not even bother hanging up a shingle.

Hockey is seen as a unifying strength that urges Canadian identity. For Canadians, hockey is not an ordinary sport but has now become a national winter sport of Canada (National Sports of Canada Act, 1994). In the commercial, hockey was used at multiple occasions such as parents dropping their children to hockey practice or everyone gathering together to watch the game. Hockey leaves an impact on Canadians to extent where it defines them. The game has a significant affiliation with the country that the logo of the maple leaf is stamped on many of the jerseys. All in all, hockey is sport that brings many Canadians together on many occasions whether it’s the Olympics, NHL games or World Cup of

Why is it that when I picture Canada I am able to see snow falling, the night setting, with teenagers, children, and adults walking towards a rink with their the laces of their skates tied together and thrown over their shoulders, all getting ready to play the great Canadian game. What is it that makes hockey so profoundly important to Canadian identity, and a representative of our country? To start off, all across the country, on frozen backyard ponds, community rinks and state-of-the-art arenas Canadians are playing hockey which is Canada’s national sport. I believe that hockey is a representation of Canada because, the maple leaf, a familiar Canadian emblem, is found on Canadian hockey jerseys, and major chains selling our favourite food, donuts, were started by hockey greats Tim Horton and Eddie Shack.

I think that using "similies" and ""metaphors" add creative expression in writing. Similies is when we compare two different things and it use the word like or as. Using similie in writing adds an additional interest for readers. It doesn't make writing boring. It can take a long words to explain feelings without using similies but if I am using similies I can explain all my feelings in one line so using similies makes the writing creative. Using similies can draw a picture or can gives a king of feeling to the reader for example "The blanket is soft" doesn't gave any idea how soft it is but if I will say that "The blanket is as soft as a feather" it gave the idea and feeling to the readers how soft the blanket is in

of his female characters and the term “womaniser” might have characterised him by virtue of his numerous relationships with women and the manner in which treated them as insinuate to not have stability or lasting satisfaction in his relationships. Hemingway had four wives Hadley Richardson, who shared the Paris years and one son; Pauline Pfeiffer, the mother of two more sons, who created a haven in Key West; Martha Gellhorn, a writer and acclaimed journalist; and Mary Welsh, a Time correspondent. Hemingway never recovers from the emotional damage inflicted by his mother, evident in his personal life and in the dysfunctional relationships in his short stories. He remains vigilant and is concerned that he will end up like his father and be controlled

When you associate words like shameless with everyday life you don’t think of it being a television show, one may think of shameless as a negative adjective used to describe a person showing a lack of shame, but it's a comedy/drama television show that really digs deep into real life scenarios and shows how a true dysfunctional family lives in the “hood” of Chicago. Shameless details how much leadership and mental stability Fiona Gallagher has to have in order to run a family of six in her early twenties.
