The Crazy Horse Memorial Analysis

In “The Rocking-Horse Winner” we are introduced to a woman who author D.H Lawrence states, “was beautiful, who started with all the advantages, yet she had no luck. She married for love, and the love turned to dust. She had bonny children, yet she felt they had been thrust upon her, and she could not love them.” When I dive into the psychology behind that statement, I come up with a thought that this beginning draws similarities to Lawrence’s own upbringing with his coal miner father and schoolteacher mother. Similarly the mother in “The Rocking-Horse Winner” is disenchanted with her marriage and the way her life

Hester's idea of luck meaning money brings forth the two ideas of greed and death throughout the story.

In Cormac McCarthy’s All the Pretty Horses, the concept of understanding sacrifice to establish a greater moral good is central to the main characters and their developed values. Specifically, McCarthy incorporates a great sacrifice of young love made by John Crady Cole’s love interest, Alejandra. Alejandra strategically surrenders her promising relationship with John Grady in order to accomplish a greater agenda: bailing him out of jail therefore, assuring the forbiddance of their of their future union. In this instance, the sacrifice of love and union reveals the character’s deeper values rooted in moral obligation. This passionate act of love exemplifies Alejandra’s strength and selflessness, while also displaying a deeper understanding to the overall meaning of the book by highlighting how valuable friendships and relationships come at a great cost.

As being two revered warriors from completely opposite sides, General Armstrong Custer and Crazy Horse held very similar characteristics that ultimately made them tick. After doing some deep research on these two men it was almost complete fate that they met on the battlefield of Little Bighorn.

As for the paper goes these two men were brought up with completely different family scenarios that led them to the great warriors that they ended up being.

Location; where the monument is plays a big role in how effective a monument is in memorializing or honoring a person or moment. For instance Mount Rushmore, to the untrained eye, is four important men of the past on the side of a mountain, but it is actually quite more. “I have to admit: Mount Rushmore bothers me. It was bad enough that white men drove the Sioux from the hills they still hold sacred; did they have to carve faces all over them too?”(Source C). Source C is saying that the location of Mount Rushmore is disrespectful to the Sioux because that mountain is sacred to them, and the people who drove the Native Americans off the land have their faces on that

Crazy Horse and Custer: The Parallel Lives of Two American Warriors by Stephen Ambrose is a novel about the lives of two american warriors. These two warriors were defined by the circumstances in their life which in turn, made them be on opposing sides of the war. I liked this book better than the trail of tears, probably because I love the writing style of Ambrose. Both of these men have a lot in common, but as we read the book, we discover that that this was simply a natural side effect of their roles as warriors.

Tragic as well as heroic events will continue to happen in life that raise certain questions. How do we honor or remember the people who put their lives on the risk for others or other incredible acts of service? A part of continuing on in life is looking at our past and learning from it to progress towards a greater society. We can learn from those who showed bravery or other by looking at tragedy to have our hearts softened. Knowing and remembering important aspects of history is crucial to progression. However, many can question how to do this in the most appropriate meaning to benefit as many people as possible without damaging or offending. Many aspects have to be taken into account including the people affected, the location, and the

Certain individuals have a drive that can lead them to achieve what they desire most. In the Short story “The Rocking Horse Winner”, D.H Lawrence showcases this through character motivation and symbolism. He further this using pursuit of desire, and how if you take it to a certain extent it can result in tragedy if the individual chooses not to conform. Paul wants to please his mother because his mother feels that there family has no luck, but Paul proclaims that he is lucky. Paul suddenly becomes consumed with this sudden spree of good luck and feels this is the only way he will be able to gain to the affection of his mother. D.H Lawrence reveals that Paul has a certain flaw that turns him to believe that the only way he will be able to gain his mothers love and affection is by winning money in the horse races. He leads this pursuit of desire to the standards he thought he wanted to, but not to the standards that would have achieved what he wanted, which leads to his down fall. When individuals desire love from another, they may choose to conform their beliefs and actions to that person. At first they may feel successful, however if they sacrifice everything, in pursuing this kind of goal, they may pay a heavy price instead of gaining there hearts desire.

Some people think that a memorial is just a memorial but it is so much more than that.A memorial is something, especially a structure, established to remind people of a person or event.People should view it as a way of learning a lesson or emphasizing a moral value, and it should be considered sacred.
