My Totem Pole: My Characteristics Of My Totem Carking

Cats entered the New World on the Mayflower. A new breed called the American Shorthair was created. This tame cat would have been distinguishable from the wild cats by their color patterns, hair length, and size. The tame cat could help hunt for birds and rodents because they are hardy, tough, and athletic. It is also likely that the tame cat bred with the wild cats, so new breeds that had the characteristics of the wild ones entered the domestic stock. Cats were not always liked though. There were many superstitions about cats, which made people afraid of them. The cat became known as an indispensable pet for all the genuine witches. The black cat also became known as one of the symbols of Satan. These superstitions may have started because nightly, silent expeditions of feral cats, or their weird cries and shining eyes in the dark. So, cats have not always been accepted as a domestic pet.

Totems hold great significance as they represent connections with the land, the Dreamtime and ancestors.

I had an experience that each represents the symbol towards the Allegory of the Cave. My childhood was mostly in Jamaica where I lived with my father for two to three years. I can relate to the symbols from the "Allegory of the Cave".

The poem entitled “Curiosity” written by Alastair Reid is a symbolic poem that uses cats as a metaphor for humans. It relates felines to people in the sense of curiosity, and what could be considered actually living life to the fullest. Essentially, this work contradicts the popular phrase, “curiosity killed the cat” by placing it within a broader context. Instead of discouraging curiosity, Reid explains why people should embrace it.

I disagree with my review because of the following reasons. When I tested I was given the animal the otter, Otters have a personality to be excitable energetic and the cheerleading type, this is not me. However, I was also given the animal the beaver and I also disagree with this because beavers are said to be organized perfectionist kind of people and this is far from who I am. Beavers are very detail-oriented, orderly and enjoy thoroughness I am more of the go with the flow type person and am far from organized. I would agree more with the idea of me being a golden retriever, golden retrievers are very team oriented, easy going and quit calm type of people. And I feel like these are some of the traits that fit me best. I tend to be very

Ultimately, the totem pole is symbolic in the story because it represents the Indigenous people in Canada. In King’s short story, the museum workers are constantly trying to remove the totem pole from the museum as Walter states that, “” the totem pole is not part of the show, and we need to move it someplace else”” (King 14). This quote accurately demonstrates the controlling nature of the museum workers because they attempt to remove the totem pole numerous times, but each time is as unsuccessful as the last. This correlates to Canadian history with the settlers trying to eliminate the Indigenous people in Canadian Society which was also unsuccessful. Additionally, another example that proves the controlling nature of the workers is witnessed when Walter attempts to find the owner of the totem pole instead of just leaving it in the show. Considering this, the whole notion of ownership is very different in Indigenous and non–Indigenous cultures. Indigenous culture believes that everything is to be shared and no one is an owner of anything. This concept is complete and total opposite in non-Indigenous culture as everything belongs to someone.

In a reading done in class, “Farmers of the Woodlands,” written by Peter Nabokov and Dean Snow, there is discussion of the religious and spiritual beliefs of the people who lived in the Eastern Woodlands. For the Penobscot bands, they had the spiritual belief of totems. These totems were animals. They believed the totems were the ancestors to the people of the band. These totems linked them to the lands they lived, hunted, and fished

The first animal that corresponds to my life is an otter. The reason an otter is my first choice is because an otter is a usually playful and easygoing animal. When I was younger I use to be the same. To me, as a younger child, life was all fun and games, but since I have now matured in age I understand that not everything is always a game . Otters also have the tendency to be solitary and protective.

Nekozawa ran to the window, “What did you say? They’re revered by our family, it’s true, but Kirimi wouldn’t participate in something like that, something as occult as befriending a stray cat. Kirimi is afraid of animals, and cats are the creatures she fears most!”

The Gwaii Haanas Totem Poles represent and commemorate ancestry, histories, people, and or events. Each totem pole is designed differently with beings or crest animals. These markings show a family lineage and the rights and privileges that each family held during the time they lived in. Some totem poles honoured a specific event or person, and others are visual representation of kinship. These totem poles don’t really tell stories, they are documents of how each family lived or what they did. Totem poles were first brought up by the First Nations of the Pacific Northwest. During the First Nations they had what was called memorial or commemorative poles. These poles were often created, by their successor,

Did you ever wonder what these scary looking figures were that was on totem poles? Totem poles were initiated from the Northwest Indian tribes. They are “built” using symbolic objects from Elements of Nature, Colors, and Geometrical shapes that represent stories, myths, and/or an important event. I chose seven items that share the same qualities as me. To elaborate, I picked a unicorn, monkey, elephant, lotus, dolphin, dog and the color blue because they represent my story.

The crest on a pole is the most important part of the pole because it tells who the specific family or tribe is. Each family had their own unique crest that would have been been passed down from generation to generation, to the native people of Early American the family crest was more than just a symbol like it is today. The crest was a honourable thing, people would fight and die for their crest. The crest can be anything from carved stone to a waved basket. Eagles are the most common symbol for totem poles and crests because they were considered to be medicine birds also were considered to have very powerful magic abilities. Totem poles were not just used to honor someone, they could also be used as a way to shame someone or a whole tribe. A shame pole would be set up in the center of a tribe if it is to shame a specific person. They were used to expose another person or tribe for something disgraceful they

The Tlingit culture has very good morals and optimism therefore they can relate to the bear totem, as do I. I believe you can achieve anything with the right mindset. The bear totem represents strength, care and optimism which is seen in me and many others. Therefore, I choose the bear totem to represent me.

My love for cats goes back a long time. In a few years I will probably become the crazy cat lady. Cats are independent and self sufficient. They are very intelligent animals and they make good companions. I think these things make the cat a perfect

I agree that I am a golden retriever because the qualities of a golden retriever match my personality the best. I don’t think any other animals best match me. I don’t think any other animal match me because I don’t have the qualities of the other animal such as lions, otters, or beavers. I believe I possess qualities such as witty, caring, and loving so I am a golden retriever. I am not a conflict maker, but I will make conflict if I am forced to, I am not scared of conflict but try to avoid it. But will face it if need being. I am a quiet person unless we are on a topic I care about, then I will voice my opinion and much more. Generally, don’t talk over people when they are speaking unless talking to a friend. Also, Mrs. Fette told me to add
