The Empire Of The Summer Moon Summary

Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America's Continuing Debate Over Science and Religion concentrates on the Scopes trial, otherwise called the "Monkey Trial," which happened in Dayton, Tennessee in the mid year of 1925. The trial occurred in excess of a Tennessee law that banned the educating of human development out in the open schools. The American Civil Liberties Union needed to test the law, and a junior instructor named John Scopes, consented to help them. The alleged "trial of the century" united the well known government official and speaker, William Jennings Bryan, who headed the opposition to development campaign; and Clarence Darrow, who was viewed as the best criminal protection legal advisor of the time. The two men, plus their individual direction, clashed in the trail with the indictment in the end ready to maintain the law.

Today I read books like no tomorrow and I learn quite a lot from them. I never knew books could reflect your life or even share experiences that other people might feel or have been through. It all began in high school, my second year of school and my class was beginning a new book called Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. After reading the book, I learned it is explicit in its warnings and moral lessons aimed at the present. I could not care less about the world but after reading Fahrenheit 451, I became more aware of the world now. Another book that inspired me to read more was called Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, learning about how we should not forget the fundamentals of what makes human a human. These kinds of books impacted my life to

Perkins makes frequent use of contrast to explore ideas in One Night The Moon. Discuss.

The book talks about multiple points of view of the 40 year war between the tribe and the American government and its’ citizens, and the raid on the Parker family who had traveled

In the novel Alabama Moon a boy named Moon is the main character. Moon is very independent because throughout the story he does a lot of things on his own including living alone. On page 3 I found out that he was ten years old because it said “I was ten years old and he’d taught me everything I needed to know about living out in the forest.” So this showed me that he knew how to live in his own out in the forest and that he was ten years old which was pretty young to be living on his own out in the forest. At first when Moon was scared and lonely without his dad he was aggressive with the other characters. On page 27 Moon really showed his anger toward Mr.Abroscotto

The religion detailed and examined throughout Don Talayesva’s “Sun Chief” can be difficult to understand and near impossible to appreciate. At first glance to the casual reader it can appear shallow and ridiculous; a religion created around the wants and needs of the Hopi but not based on any empirical or even supposed sacred evidence. When coupled with The Sacred Canopy however, the reader begins to understand the simplistic beauty of their religion providing necessary guidance and support to the Hopi tribe. The reader also is able to relate to Don’s religion in terms of the love one has for his or her own dogma and the importance it plays in an individual’s life.

The protagonist in Ernest Hemmingway’s The Sun Also Rises, Jacob Barnes, is a down on his luck war veteran living in France. Jake is characterized by his experiences prior to the events of the book and he narrates the story from a quiet observer’s third person perspective, often times quite cynically, exemplified when he tells his friend Robert Cohn, “You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another.”Although never openly stating it, Jake on several occasions implies that due to a war injury he has lost the ability to have sex which leaves him feeling very insecure about his own masculinity, likely contributing to his

The book Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand made me Realize many things. This book made me realize how hard life was back then for many people,especially the men who fought in war for their country.Louis zamperini was ordered to do a simple mission on a plane that sparked the beginning of a long period of torture.Louis was given the opportunity to get all the food he wanted from the japanese if he just bad mouthed america to the whole world.Instead of accepting the offer from the japanese, he chose to continue his life in the camp and be tortured. Therefore not only did i realize how hard life was for the men and women who fought for their country in combat, i also realized that the men and women fighting truly love their country.

Today I will talk about the book Sounder. This book shows how badly the black people were treated. But also how a boy lost so much because of white people. And how they had to live in the 1880s-1970 in the south.

This book relates so much to the United States history. It is about the american revolutionary war, afterall, and how America gained its independence through the Treaty of Paris in 1783; ending the war once and for all. If the American Revolution never happened, we would still

For my first book review I chose to read Barefoot Conquistador Cabeza De Vaca and The Struggle for Native American Rights by Diana Childress. The book explains the many struggles that the Spanish conquistadors had to go through and the suffering of the Native Americans.

For instance I was able to get so much more perspective into other cultures, including my own. It has helped me to realize that even the smallest things can have a large effect on history. I enjoyed learning about things that otherwise I wouldn’t seek out to learn on my own. The chapters in the book I favorite were Beer and Coke-Cola. I enjoyed beer because the chapter made a lot of sense and I enjoyed learning about the early civilizations. I was able to understand why beer was so popular. I liked learning about Mesopotamia mostly because once farming was brought about all of these new and extremely important technological advances continued. I enjoyed Coco-Cola the most because I love US history particularly the twentieth century, I also love the drink. I knew that Coca- Cola was very important to America, what I didn’t know was how much. I read about the letters from World War Two and was shocked to see how vital it truly was. I thought it was interesting that other countries associated Coke immediately with the United States, making it Americas drink and an extremely recognizable

The first book that I’m going to talk about is “The Black Elk Speaks” and my feelings about the book. The reason I choose this book is because I have an Indian background in my family and thought it would be to learn about the culture and beliefs. In the beginning of the book there was a line

Hey everyone, today I would like to talk to you about the first two books that I have recently just finished called the Lunar Chronicles, by Marissa Meyer. Cinder is the first book in the Lunar Chronicles Series while the second book is called Scarlet. If you haven't read either, then I suggest you read those books first. One of the main reasons why I love this series so much is because they are fairy tales set in a dystopian society. I also really liked how the author connected the first and second book together by having the characters interact with each other. I initially thought that they were stories about fairy tales set in the same dystopian society, but they never interact with each other. I also loved how the author gave enough detail

The film Empire of the Sun passes in Shanghai, in the year of 1941. It portrays the World War Two and the quality of life of the Chinese soldiers and prisoners of that time. Jim, a kid from a wealthy British family comes from a spoiled life to a new deplorable one, as a prisoner; and later, beginning a whole new life separated from his parents. Terrified and lonely, he first tried to hide himself away in his family's mansion, with the naive illusion that they would soon return. When that's no longer an alternative, he wonders out into the city, on the point of starvation, looking for supplies, trying to surrender to the occupying Japanese troops. His situation, considering the war, was common in that time; several other families passed through
