Thunder Rides A Black Horse: Mescalero Apaches And The Mythic Present
Number of words: 1597 | Number of pages: 6.... three major examples of life in the "mythic present" that I
will primarily be discussing are the astronomical concept of the Mescalero
Apache, the kin-system that the Apache implore, and lastly the Apache
girl's puberty ceremony. Although I have only selected three examples,
there are obviously many more such as the cultural heroine, White Painted
Woman, the creation process in which Apache people are seen as the weakest
link in the being-chain, and reciprocity, among others.
The first example of the "mythic present" I will discuss is the
astronomical concept that the Apache Indians have and how they apply it.
This also inclu .....

Delsohn's The Emmitt Zone: Summary
Number of words: 328 | Number of pages: 2.... Johnson that he had made the right pick by
setting a record, three straight NFL rushing titles. Not even the great Walter
Payton or Jim Brown had ever done this. This is what labeled Emmitt Smith as
one of the best football players ever to step onto a turf or grass field. He
was quoted by Jimmy Johnson saying, "Emmitt makes everyone around him a better
player just by his presence."
All in all, this was a good book. I learned all about the kind of
records Emmitt Smith set. I learned that not all people are as fortunate as
Emmitt to have a great skill and be able to take it on. .....

The Queen Of Air And Darkness
Number of words: 710 | Number of pages: 3.... is probably the least well adjusted of the
four. He tends to be sadistic and self-centered. The children were told the
tale of the King of Ireland by St. Toirdealbhach; the tale where the king gets a
head wound and can not be excited, but then he dies while trying to defend his
savior. Agravaine does not see any point in putting one's self in danger to
protect any one else. He says “It was silly, it did no good,” because he does
not understand the principal behind the story. He does not understand that
there are things other than yourself worth dying for. Agravaine's sadism is
evidenced in the Unicorn episode. A .....

The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer
Number of words: 414 | Number of pages: 2.... mattered.
Tom works best under pressure because he thinks more about it.
Somehow, Tom had sensitivity for others, even others didn't have it
for him. Like the situation with the torn page of the teachers book. Even
though Tom didn't tear the page he still took the blame for Becky when
Becky was being mean to him. He got a whipping Tom didn't care he had
gotten them before that was just same as it ever was for Tom.
Tom's upbringing most likely leads to his adventurous side. The
fact he doesn't have a mother living with him probably has a little less
respect for Aunt Polly than he Biological mother. He wouldn't have less
love since .....

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest: Rules In Society
Number of words: 1210 | Number of pages: 5.... thing to do? The people who wear their shoes do not ask questions like this. They follow their fellow men like drone robots, good little servants of society.
There are those people in our society that do as they please when it comes to the unwritten rules of the world. They are decent folks who obey laws that doctrine civilized behavior, but they do so in their own unique way, which makes them seem uncivil to the rest of society. Perhaps they do not wear their shoes to dinner, or in more extreme cases know how to act in certain social situations, such as Billy who does not know how to express his feelings, or more precisely d .....
