The Howling

The one documentary film that really stuck out to me was the first film of the semester, Love and Terror on the Howling Plains of Nowhere. Author Poe Ballantine, or locally known as Ed Hughes, documents the mystery behind the newly hired math professor, Steven Haataja disappearance. One of the main controversies behind this case is that Haataja’s cause of death, to this day, is still unknown. This mystery splits the town in half, the ones who believe it was a suicide and those who believe it was

Harmony and Howling — African and European Roots of Jamaican Music English colonial rule began in Jamaica in the year 1655. The growth of a plantation culture in the West Indies quickly changed the need for labor in the area. Between 1700 and 1786, more than 600,000 African slaves were brought to Jamaica. These slaves were required to work for their English colonial masters who would purchase them from slave traders at various ports around the island. Slaves were abducted from various regions

of them have already spent one year at the school when the new class arrives. The “Howling Ritual” is a student-run tradition, that takes place on the night of the first full moon of every school year. It is organized by the second years. In this study, inspired by my observations as a participant in the ritual and the following conversations I had with students, I will explore the social function of the “Howling Ritual” using anthropologist Van Gennep’s theory on rites of passage.

The only thing we can be sure about in the Treaty Signing at Medicine Creek Lodge, by John Taylor and Howling Wolf is that they “contain the same overt content-that is the peace treaty signing”. (Sayre) How can both artists be so far apart in their renderings and what influences affected their works? Was it the time between the two artworks, cultural differences, or form? John Taylor’s illustration for Leslie’s Illustrated Gazette is more naturalistic than representational because he was focusing

whereas fruits accounted for 58.2%. After recording almost 400 howling bouts for a little over a year, Van Belle et al. (2013) found that 42.1% were spontaneous calls (calls with no discernable external stimuli), 27.9% were reply calls (calls following nearby howling without visual contact with the original caller or callers), 25.1% were intergroup encounter calls, and 5.0% were extragroup encounter calls. The average interval of howling bouts was approximately fifteen minutes, and intergroup and extragroup

Do Wolves Howl at the Moon? Wolves are most often considered with the moon. Wolves howl at the moon but do they really? Wolves talk to each other by howling and body language, most might think they are howling at the moon but it's just how they position their heads back when they howl. Wolves will make sure it's clear to howl when near a different territory in case there are enemies around. There is a lot of myths about wolves and the moon.

Although all the functions of howling are not known, scientists believe that wolves may howl to assemble their pack, to claim territory, to warn intruders away from a home site or kill, or to identify other wolves. Wolves also howl in the evening and early morning, in the summer when

So… For the quotes, I might as well give you one that expresses Buck’s retrogression A.K.A. howling at the sky. “And when, on the still cold nights, he pointed his nose at a star and howled long and wolf like, it was his ancestors, dead and dust, pointing nose at star and howling down through the centuries and through him” (London 26). Basically, this is pretty much Buck howling at the sky like how a wolf would howl, proving more of how Buck is going into a

Artists are unique in the way that they portray and depict the world around them. For example, two artists can create artwork of the same event that looks completely different from each other. This is true of the two artists John Taylor and Howling Wolf. They were meeting to sign a series of peace treaties between some native groups and the U.S government. When looking at John Taylor's Treaty Signing at Medicine Lodge Creek, the content is clear. At a glance, it is clear that an agreement is

The gray wolf is the largest of the canines and can reach a weight of 80 lb and 5 to 6.5 feet in length. It can live for up to 13 years.
