Warriors, Eclipse By Erin Hunter: An Analysis

In the book Warriors Don't Cry by Melba Pattillo Beals, the author describes what her reactions and feelings are to the racial hatred and discrimination she and eight other African-American teenagers received in Little Rock, Arkansas during the desegregation period in 1957. She tells the story of the nine students from the time she turned sixteen years old and began keeping a diary until her final days at Central High School in Little Rock. The story begins by Melba talking about the anger, hatred, and sadness that is brought up upon her first return to Central High for a reunion with her eight other classmates. As she walks through the halls and rooms of the old school, she recalls the

ThunderClan’s camp had been ruined in the fire and had to be rebuilt. The four Clans were meeting at The Gathering Place. There a new leader was announced for the ShadowClan, who was Tigerstar. All of the Clans were shocked that Tigerstar was the new leader of ShadowClan. Fireheart was the speaker for ThunderClan because Bluestar was sick from the smoke. Fireheart and Bluestar were very concerned that Tigerstar was the new leader of ShadowClan because they knew that he had done some very bad things. The other Clans did not know of the bad things he had done. Bluestar decided to double the patrols to protect ThunderClan. To better protect ThunderClan, Fireheart wants to make some of the apprentice cats into warrior cats, but Bluestar, the leader, only wants Cloudpaw to be a warrior. Cinderpelt had a dream that dogs were heard in the forest chanting “pack, pack and kill, kill.” No one knew what the dream meant. Bluestar, the leader of the ThunderClan, is mentally unstable. She wants to start a battle to attack WindClan to get into a battle over land. Fireheart knew that ThunderClan was not ready for a battle so soon after the fire. Fireheart teamed up with some others and prevented the battle with WindClan.

After reading the first eighteen chapters of David Maraniss’ They Marched into Sunlight, I was really shocked to find out all about what I was uneducated on about the Vietnam War.

The Brown vs. Board of Education Doctrine states, “ We conclude in the field of Education the doctrine of “separate but equal” has no place separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. Therefore, we hold the plaintiffs and others similarly situated for whom the actions have been brought are, by reason of the segregation complained of, deprived of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. THIS REQUIRED THE DESEGREGATION OF SCHOOLS ACROSS AMERICA.

Melba Beals was certainly full of grit. When she insisted to go back to school after segregationists were trying to keep her out the school, but she still insisted on going back to school to finish all her classes and take her final exams. Even after all those people told her to get out; and she finished high school with pride. When Melba showed her grit later on people started encouraging her more saying she’s doing a great thing for this town (Beals 224). I thought this anecdote was important because it shows an example of how grit is used in the right context. The journey archetype means a recurrent image, symbol, or even a situation that instinctual expressions man 's nature and experiences that are universal in humanity. While self-identity means the recognition of one 's potential and qualities of as an individual. People 's traits impact who they are as a person because if they have poorly traits they’ll show that in the way they act same thing for the good traits. Melba Beals’ “Warriors Don’t Cry,” “Homer’s “The Odyssey,” and my own life reveal that our characters traits have an impact on our life journeys and self identities.

The retelling of spooky ghost stories has been a favorite activity in many cultures, wether it be around a campfire of written in various articles and book. Perhaps one of the most mysterious supernatural activities can be reported on the islands of Hawaii. Known as the Night Marchers, these spirits have been known to roam the land, revisiting ancient war sites and significant historical landmarks. In the book, “Marchers of the Night” by Helen P. Hoyt, a renowned Hawaiian author, he describes his first experience with the Huaka’ipo, or the Night Marchers. “In all the hundred years of my life I have seen the Marchers of the Night, the Huaka’ipo, only twice…” (Hoyt 1969). He then continues to explain how “on the night of the sixth of August, 1918, a night sacred to Ku, ancient god of all warriors” the Night Marchers, which their torches and pounding drums came to his house in the town of Waianae. Based on the many stories about the Night Marchers and the other cultures around the world who have similar spirits, I will attempt to demonstrate that these ghosts are more fact than fiction.

From about the age of 7 until now, I have been trapped. Trapped in a never ending wave of distraction that pulls me away from what is real and what truly matters in life. I have been held hostage by technology, and the scary thing is, everyone else in society is trapped as well.

The first resemblance from our course material and Way of the Peaceful Warrior was right away in the book while I was reading the preface. Dan describes how his years before meeting Socrates, he had been sleeping and was dreaming that he was awake. This comes from our second lesson where you can be going about your day or life but are you truly awake? Are you living each day to the fullest, taking everything in minute by minute, not wishing each Monday away? I can relate to Dan’s meaning fully when he says Socrates had to teach him how to live, who knew? Dan thought he was living a good life, he had friends, was a good athlete and did well in school, but he went through the motion every day. I too do this as well, in high school Monday’s were

In times of distress the good will come out in people and show who they really are and reveling their identity. People will fight for people and fight for what Is right. Just like in the holocaust when the Jews never stopped fighting to survive.

Melba Pattillo’s Characterization “You are a warrior on a battlefield for your lord. God’s warriors don’t cry, ‘cause they trust he’s always by their side’ (Beals, pg. 57). In the memoir Warrior Don’t Cry by Melba Pattillo Beals, Beals tells the story of her experiences at Central High School in Little Rock, Arizona. Beal uses imagery to show what her and her fellow friends suffered through during their time at Central.

Can pride takeover and come in between love? This question is hinted by James Hurst in “The Scarlet Ibis” through the narrator. The story was during World War I. This was a time when crippled children didn’t have resources to help them, so in “The Scarlet Ibis” Doodle wasn’t expected to live. However, he did in fact live, and his brother taught him “how to live.”

The book Night written by Ellie Wiesel is an autobiography about his experiences during the holocaust in 1944. He is a survivor and was only 12 at the time. Ellie had three sisters named Hilda, Bea and Tzipora. His parents ran a store in Transylvania where Ellie spent most of his childhood in. Ellie 's mentor who everyone referred to as Moishe the Beadle is poor men who taught and helped Ellie study the cabbala. Early in the war, Moishe was expelled from Sighet as well as all the other foreign Jews. A few months after, everything was back to normal for Ellie and everyone else. His teacher, Moishe the Beadle then returns from his near death experience and warns everyone that the Nazi will soon come after them. No one really listened to him and did not believe that stories he told or didn’t want to believe them. Soon after this, the anti-Semitic Measures had the entire Sighet Jews move into ghettos that were supervised. With everyone living in fear, the Wiesel family remained calm and did not complain once.

The knights of King Arthur’s time were not only brave, but they were righteous, gallant, and faithful. In King Arthur’s time, chivalry was everything. Knights were expected to do battle, be religious, and be respectful to women. One such knight was Sir Galahad. He was the son of Lancelot and Elaine of Corbenic and became a knight at King Arthur’s Round Table. The story of Sir Galahad was shared in The Quest of the Holy Grail from the Middle Ages. It told how Galahad first came to King Arthur’s Round Table, and how despite being brought up by nuns, he was known as a courteous and chivalrous knight. During the medieval era, chivalry was a very important part of society.

Have you ever watched a movie or a tv show and fell in-loved with a character? Or wondered how that character became who they were. I recently started watching a tv show called Outlanders I have developed a fond relationship with a woman named Clare Frasier, the setting of the show is from the late 1700’s and the late 1940’s. This show defines how woman were treated back in the 1700’s and how they were treated in the later years. This show interrupts the life of men and women that grew up in Scotland in the late 1700’s. I believe that this show has information related to life events during the war with the Scotts and the English also it has provided a true love connection between Clare and her husband. The character Clare develops into an independent, fierce, and selfless woman, she also makes herself well- known healer that helps provide her happiness.
