Totem Pole: Bear, Lion, And Fox

My personality is quite similar to who I am when describing myself. I am also a person who values other people and being surrounded by others. I am the one who makes tries to lighten the mood during a heavy or deep situation. I also tend to always put others before myself because I strive to help others find their happiness. I am definitely a fun and outgoing person. I love putting a smile on others’ faces and I love to laugh on a daily basis. Additionally, I am also quite serious, responsible, and well organized. Overall, I would say that I have a “go-getter” attitude/personality, but I am quite the lively person as well.

The one that describes me the most is the realtor. I feel like this is my personality theme. In the description it states that” I do not shy away from meeting new people but I prefer to be around the people that I know. I believe that to be true because again this reflects back to me being and introverted person.

For my totem pole, I am picking animals that are like me. The animals are supposed to be like me or if they mean a lesson to me. The essay I'm writing is inspired by book Touching Spirit Bear. In the book Cole makes a totem pole referring to himself or a lesson that represents an animal. A totem pole is a lot that has carvings in it to represent things. I made a totem pole because I want something to represent something of who I am.

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

My personality is defined as “Guardian” which fits my personality perfectly. Guardians are practical and down-to-earth, but they know how to have funs with their friends. They take their duties seriously, are hard workers and are dependable and trustworthy. They are most comfortable when life is structured (Keirsey, n.d.). I am a loyal friend who like to have fun, but follow the rules. My friends have said I am their “voice of reason”. I enjoy socializing with my close group of friends, but I am cautious when meeting new people. I enjoy watching sports, probably because there are defined sets of rule which allow for a fair turn for each team. I do not like when plans change suddenly. I am a planner and when things change I have to alter my plans.

Standing Bear’s “Nature” provides a deeper look into Native American religion seen through the Oglala Indian’s sacred love for nature. Luther Standing Bear was the son of an Oglala Sioux chief, and later after his career as an Indian in the Hollywood film industry he became chief of the same tribe in South Dakota. Luther Standing Bear uses both personification and symbolism of the Earth and Mother Nature’s soil to create meaning of their religion, which is significantly influenced and maintained by nature.

The most defining attribute that represents me is being too quiet. This started out when I was young and a bit clumsy, just trying to find my place

On occasion when watching a show or movie or when reading a book we can come across characters to whom we can easily relate. For this assignment we were asked to do just that and find characters with whom we felt we shared characteristics that could be used to describe ourselves. The three fictional characters that I believe most represent my personality are Mal Reynolds from the show firefly and the movie Serenity for his loyalty and courage, Jack Sparrow for his silliness and free-spirited nature, and Alucard from the anime Hellsing for his professional demeanor and mannerisms.

The word totem derives from the Algonquian word “odoodem” meaning kinship group. You can see how that represents a totem pole well because a ceremony for a new pole is watched by hundreds of tribe members. More than just beautiful carvings, totem poles represent myths, legends, and honourable stories of families or tribes.

I likes to encourage, support and make people feel appreciated at all times. I am the type of person who likes to point out the strengths in other people and likes to help them improve on their weaknesses. I am the type of person who is loyal but who also expects loyalty in return. I am the type of person who tries to find a correct and positive way to approach a tense or uncomfortable situation. I agree with the results because they accurately define my personality type.

Have you ever wondered what three character traits would describe you? In our own words would you describe yourself differently they your friends and family. If I had to describe myself in three ways I would say I’m athletic, intelligent, and faithful.

Native Americans believe Animism - the belief that the universe and the objects within it have souls and spirits. According to most Native American cultures, Power Animals are the embodies or conveys some sort of influence on a person with the traits and characteristics of the animal associated with them. It is believed that everything is alive and also possess strengths, power and wisdom. These animals are a person’s connection to life, character, and power. They are seen as guides who are found in dreams - Vision Quests. They walk through life with a person while teaching them, guiding them, and sometimes protecting them. The Power Animals include: the armadillo, the

I've always found it incredibly hard to describe myself. I feel like I don't really fit into any specific category because I have many different traits from different personality types and don't just fit into one set group. Looking at the archetypes Carl Jung came up with, I can definitely see that I identify with several different archetypes. Starting with ego, I think I identify most with the orphan/regular gal. The orphan wants to belong, to fit in, and not lose themselves in trying so hard to fit in. I struggle with this a lot, actually. I always feel the desire to want to fit in, I want to blend in and connect with people without standing out too much. I want to make friends and have people to talk to, but I also don't want to be singled out and have

The character trait I share with a gazelle is that I am very visual. When a gazelle can sense a lurking predator they shake their ears or stomp to warn the other gazelles. In class a teacher can’t be boring or quite. I quickly become bored and occupied with other things. But when things become interesting I tend to be more involved and more of an active listener.

I do not agree fully that I was a golden retriever. I think I am half way an otter because I love talk. I am a very outgoing person and I like to be in the center of everything. I have many friends and I’m very encouraging to my teammates in the weight room. I’m usually the life of every party. I don’t think I was a golden retriever in some ways because I’m not the most patient person in the whole world, but I’m loyal in relationships and very committed. I’m not very quiet but I am a team player. I like to take risks and live life on the edge. Which makes me more of an otter but I do have some attributes of a golden retriever as I already said. So I think I’m a mixture of both a golden retriever and an otter. Otters are go getters and I am
