Rodeo Barry Ceremony

As humans, we carry around many tangible objects in our daily lives. Whether it is a bag filled with what is needed for the day or just our phone, we rely on certain things to navigate us through our days. There are also intangible things which are the traits that make us up, that we carry around with ourselves every day. Personally, I try to carry as little as possible when I go out. I will most likely grab my phone, keys, money, and chapstick and be out the door. In most cases, the difficulty of carrying the weight of our personal lives can seem to outweigh what we are physically carrying. As for abstract things that I carry, I have a lot going on. I am an extreme overthinker and find it almost impossible to stop myself from thinking, no

You may have heard that “everything is bigger in Texas.” and if you really want to experience how everything is bigger, you go to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR). The HLSR, or “Houston Rodeo” as it is referred to by Houstonians, is the largest event of its kind in the world and has been in session since 1932. In 2013, The HLSR had more people in attendance (approx 2.6 million) at the Rodeo than the entire population of the city of Houston (approx 2.1 million), which happens to be the 4th largest city in the United States as well as the most populated city in the state of Texas. The HLSR is held at Reliant Park for three weeks during March, and since parking is always a hassle, Reliant Park also happens to have one of the largest parking lots available as well.

← EDIT FOR THIS TO BE CLEAR “The Things They Carried” presents artifacts and identifies their connotation. For example, a simple pebble picked up by Martha on the Jersey shoreline and sent to Jimmy Cross as a good-luck token became much more significant once in his hands. His interpretation of the gift was that it was a romantic symbol of her truest feelings for him. Alas, O’Brien writes that Martha stated, “It was this separate-but-together quality, she wrote, that had inspired her to pick up the pebble and to carry it in her breast pocket for several days, where it seemed weightless, and then to send it through the mail, by air, as a token of her truest feelings for him”

Ceremony by Leslie Marmon Silko is a novel written multidimensionally to portray the traditions and ceremonial practices of the Native American. Silko describes the rebuilding of the Native American culture by writing the real story and poems in the alternate story. The animal symbolism is an integral piece of the novel’s importance that reflects characters and the Native American culture with the use of them in metaphors. Silko respectfully depicts the animals, such as cattle, Fly and Hummingbird, and mountain lion that represent Tayo and the Laguna people, Betonie, and the cultural relationship with nature.

I have a children's table and chairs set, painting/drawing easels, toys, books, puzzles, play dough, and various garden toys.

Having Brandon in my life allowed me to improve my learning ability and achieve my long-term goals quicker. In my words, a prized possession is something that helps you to make your life easier, happy and encourage you of achieving your dreams. To illustrate this, a teddy bear for kids does not have the same meaning for adults, and a specific teddy bear can be more exceptional for an adult than for a

The following five questions and answers pertain to the reading from Chapters 20, 21 and 22 for week 7 assignment.

My second precious possession is my Nanny’s (grandmother) wedding ring. I would take her wedding ring with me because it is the only thing I have from her since she passed away two years ago. My nanny was one of the best people I knew and I miss her everyday, I wish there was a way to be able to see her again but there isn’t and that is really hard on me. Wearing this ring would remind me of her strength, faith, and humbleness that she portrayed during her battle with cancer, and it would be a constant reminder that no matter what happens to me I can get through it. This possession would be one of the hardest things for me to leave

belongings that she had her for almost all of her life such as, her swimming hole, the singing tree, and the rest

Embarrassment can be one of the hardest pills to swallow; I know this because of firsthand experience. As humans we go through humiliation all the way through life. I do not know a single person who went through life without a moment of discomfiture, if someone has then they must not live a very audacious life. My personal experience was not only utterly embarrassing but also broadcasted on national television. I was competing in the National Little Britches Rodeo Association Finals at the Colorado State Fairgrounds in Pueblo, Colorado. I have never been one to mull over a certain moment but incidents like this tend to stick with you. What I learned from this experience, I will never forget.

My wallet has a picture of my family which, again allows me to be redirected in high spirits during the rigors of war. Furthermore, all my credit cards and personal information is stored in my wallet. I like debit cards and credit cards more because all the security protection that comes with a debit/credit card. My wedding ring never leaves my finger this piece of jewelry is most precious and sacred once I became a husband on the 7th November 2013.

People hold on to pieces of jewelry, furniture, and other symbolic collectables that is passed through generations. These things can remind a person of a loved one that is seen as being priceless.

Discard or donate unwanted items: If you are one of those people who constantly sorts through items to figure out what they need and don't need, then you probably already know what you're planning on taking to your new home

There are many items that I have in my possession that make me feel accomplished or an item that I use just daily. There is however, some items that have absolutely no idea why I have, and continue to hold on to them. For example, I still have a karate trophy that I really don’t pride, a computer hard drive that should have been thrown away, and some empty boxes of Run Gum. It’s either I don’t want it or I don’t need it, and these three items I really should not have, but will continue to possess.

Out of the millions of things that could describe anyone or anything, my pipe cleaner object shows what makes me unique. The colors in my pipe cleaner symbol are not the most important or symbolic, but definitely mean something. The pink in the heart is a symbol for love, just like the care I have for my best friends and family. I added green because it is my favorite color, and it compliments the pink nicely. The blue and yellow in the sneaker show my “Boston Strong” and my love for running. Finally the red and black in the “Netflix” copy the logo. The symbols represent all the things I care about and what I love in my world. I probably could not live without any of them. Things I have not shown in my object that I still value are my gender
