History lesson

History Lesson is a poem depicts the European expansion through the perspective of an indigenous North American by the name of Jeanette Armstrong. She shares the history, through a poem, of how the European’s came to North America attempting to civilize a perfectly well-functioning society. The point of the poem is to inform readers about the tragic history, how the “civilized” societies came and ruined the Canadian nature. More specifically brought death and destruction. The Author Jeanette Armstrong

Should history be written in the form of a lesson? What lessons might such historical accounts teach us? Is history meant to teach racism, sexism, or morality? If a source is predisposed to sexism, racism, or religion, does it lose all value to historians? A man named Guillaume Le Sueur, author of Admirable History of a False and Supposed Husband, instructs that, “God in his judgments, which are unknown to us, discovers all inequity, although we have long concealed it” (Sueur 10). Le Sueur’s document

To accurately judge a piece of written work like “History Lesson”, by Arthur C. Clarke, one must be educated and experienced in detecting the use of literary elements and their effectiveness. Through examination, I have concluded that “History Lesson” is an excellent piece of work that displays its high quality through it effective use of several literary devices. The fictional sci-fi short story exhibits its excellence through its notable presentation and use of a theme, irony and symbolism. The

Argument Essay “One of the discouraging discoveries of our disillusioning century is that science is neutral: it will kill for us as readily as it will heal and will destroy for us more readily than it can build” (Durant 95). This phrase from “Lessons of History” by Will Ariel Durant touched me deeply and caught my attention. At first, criticizing science and medicine by an enlightened and prominent author like Will Durant seemed a little bizarre to me. However, reading “sometimes we feel that the

Additionally, the particular lesson I have chosen is suitable for 11th grade students. Learning Spanish encompasses more then being able to speak, read, and write, it is an exploration into Hispanic culture and history as well. Spanish is spoken across Latin America, Spain, and even the US. Each Spanish speaking country throughout Latin America has a unique story of culture and history, and I want my students to be able to make connections between the Spanish

about US History The famous philosopher, Francis Bacon once said, “Knowledge is power”. But how do you change the world without having the right knowledge to do so? You can`t.

The story of Joseph is one of my favorite in the Bible. Not because it has a happy ending, but because it shows us some incredible attributes of God. As with most biblical study, it’s important to not read the story of Joseph as a history lesson, but rather to focus in on what God is doing, what is motivating God, and how God responds to people. In this case, there are some profound theological concepts that can be recognized from just looking a little deeper into the scriptures, past the narrative

The poem we chose to make a film on is Natasha Trethewey's History Lesson. This poem stood out to me because it mirrors an issue that black people are facing in society today. Segregation of the past connects to the black lives matter campaign that we are facing now in present day. The poem History Lesson represents how individuals in black communities strived for equality. The main theme I found present in this piece was the reflection on past racial struggles and inequality and the hope individuals

Jeannette Armstrong’s poem, History Lesson, she writes in perspective of Indigenous people reacting to the first encounters with European settlers. Historically, Indigenous people did not have a positive encounter with the first settlers due to their clash of beliefs and values of how communities and structures should run. Instead, they had many disagreements which caused the partial destruction of their whole culture. It is clear that Armstrong uses the theme of history to portray the destruction
