The Choctaw Indians were an important tribe, and the largest of the Muskogean tribes. The Choctaws have two stories about their origins in their traditional homeland in central Mississippi. One is that their ancestors came from west of the Mississippi River and settled in what is now the homeland. The other is that the tribe is descended from ancestors who were formed by a spirit from the damp earth of Nanih Waiyah, a large mound in northeastern Mississippi. Either way, the Choctaws resided in places, holding most of Southern Alabama and Mississippi with adjoining parts of Louisiana.

David Cusic’s, “The Iroquois Creation Story,” was published at the height of tensions between the Native Americans and the expansion of the United States into their territory, and illustrates how the Iroquois creation beliefs are actually similar in some comparison to that of Christianity. The story is about how The Iroquois Confederacy believed the world was created and their views of good and evil. This writing by David Cusic was extremely significant at the time because it was now the only written account of this orally told story on paper written by a native of the Iroquois. Now by saying that, there was already a version of the story written down before David Cusic, but it was by Frenchmen, Gabriel Sagard, therefore his story did not have necessarily as much authentication and reliability behind it.

“He told him everything, about what Assef and his friends had done to him, about the kite, about me” (Hosseini 112)

As I was reading the essay “Notes of a Native Son” by James Baldwin, I was filled with mixed emotion. Baldwin, explains that his father was a preacher who had a lot of anger in his heart; he states that his father had two personalities, the one at church and the one at home. He declares that his relationship with his father was not the ideal relationship a son should have with his father; they rarely spoke with one another, even though; Baldwin was the oldest.

4. We begin to understand early in the novel that Amir is constantly vying for Baba's attention and often feels like an outsider in his father's life, as seen in the following passage: "He'd close the door, leave me to wonder why it was always grown-ups time with him. I'd sit by the door, knees drawn to my chest. Sometimes I sat there for an hour, sometimes two, listening to their laughter, their chatter." Discuss Amir's relationship with Baba.

The black characters act justly throughout the novel by treating every one with equality and respect. In Chapter 12, when Jem and Scout visit Calpurnia’s Negro church for the Sunday service, Lula, a hostile Negro woman tells them impolitely to leave. Calpurnia defends the children and contradicts Lula by saying, “It’s the same God, ain’t it?” Amidst an argument over the antagonistic rifts between black and white regimes, Calpurnia acknowledges that all people, no matter the race, worship the same God, and are therefore equal. During Chapter 12, after the church service, Reverend Sykes takes up an extra collection of money that is collected towards Tom Robinson's wife, who has not been able to find work since her husband is sent to jail since he allegedly rapes a white woman. Reverend Sykes tells the attendees of the service, “I want all of you with no children to make a sacrifice and give one more dime a piece.” The Revenant shows justice by being equal and respectful towards everyone. In order to be fair he asks those who don’t have a family to feed and shelter to donate an extra dime, and not forcing those who have a family to donate extra money. During his testimony in Chapter 19, Tom Robinson states a different story than that of Mayalla’s; he is then questioned on whether he is accusing Mayella of being a liar. Tom refuses to accuse Mayella of lying, but persistently says that she is "mistaken in her mind." This shows Tom’s unrelenting respect and honest living; even though Mayella is unjust to him, he continues to treat her with justice and respect because he knows that she is just a little girl who is lonely and even though she sent him

The author begins the article by preparing the audience what is about to come. Telling the audience that cultures around the world have unusual customs and an anthropologist would even seek out a culture that has one when everyone seems to agree. He then talks about the Nacirema tribe and the extremities of their practices.

Veterans win wars and endure the trauma that entails with them only to come back home and die in the comfort of their own communities. In Sebastian Junger’s book, Tribe, he expresses his beliefs on the importance and strength of social bonding and how people are stronger as an emotionally and socially intertwined “tribe”. In his book he specifically confronts the community of veterans that return from war and the ordeals that they suffer. His concerns lie with the fact that veterans lack a feeling of belonging and a sense of productivity back in society that they had once felt while deployed. To further the understanding of these veterans, studies from Doctor Stefan G. Hofmann, Doctor Melissa D. Wilson, and information provided by the American Psychiatric Association will be used to help explain.

In this passage, Thomas P. states that many people argue that guns are the cause of the nearly 22% increase in the homicide rate between 2015 and 2016. While guns are a problem, giving restrictions may not be the solution. Most criminals would still be able to obtain these weapons illegally, leaving people that abide by the law without them for self protection. Actually, in the passage he says most gun crimes are performed with weapons that are already illegally possessed. Taking away a person’s right to own their own firearms also violates the second amendment, which states the right of the people to bear arms. That amendment was put in place so that civilians could overthrow an unjust government if ever put in that situation.

Baba, Amir’s father, is in search of retrieving his ethical values, for both himself and in the eyes of the servant Ali, Hassan’s father. Hassan was born as a result of Baba sleeping with his servant’s wife, Sanauber. When Amir finds out about his father’s unfaithfulness, he begins to question his father’s past saying, “How had Baba brought himself to look Ali in the eye? How had Ali lived in that house, day in and day out, knowing that he had been dishonored by his master in the single worst way an Afghan man can be dishonored?” (Hosseini 257). He even doubts his own past claiming if Ali can be lied to, his life has the same potential of being bluffed. Babas adulterine can be seen as being very disgusting and vulgar, as expressed by the second half of the quotation; “dishonored by his master in the single worst way an Afghan man can be dishonored?” Amir also questions how Baba had the courage to even “look at Ali in the eye.” Despite Baba’s crude and disloyal deed, he progressed with life, treating Hassan and Ali with honor and respect.

In chapter 11 of The Souls of Black Folk, Dubois creates a connection between the death of his infant boy and escaping “the veil.” He discusses the first moment he held his baby boy and how he watched the shadow of the veil fall across the baby; the baby is introduced to a world where “freedom is to us a mockery and whose liberty is a lie.” His child exits this world almost as quickly as he was born into it; and Dubois contemplates why this would happen to him when life is already difficult. Towards the end of the chapter, he changes his perspective on the death of his child, and expresses his belief “…not dead, but escaped… not bond, but free.” He comes to the conclusion that his child might be better off because he was not forced to endure

The novel We Were The Mulvaneys by Joyce Carol Oates describes Judd Mulvaney as a 12-year-old boy who is burgeoning with maturity, responsibility, and growing awareness. In the novel the main character, Judd, uses repetition of the phrase ‘every heartbeat is past and gone!’ to describe his emotions and realizations of the brevity of life. The repeated phrase ‘every heartbeat is past and gone’ is Judd’s way of expressing that nothing lasts forever – that everything can be gone in an instant. This phrase plainly characterizes the enormity and importance of his realization.
