White's Argumentative Essay
In White's depiction of the section village, I feel it is a toss up between appearing civilized or uncivilized to the Europeans.
My reasoning behind this is because in the image we see a thriving community with shelter, agricultural resources and people dwelling together in what I can say looks harmoniously. This village may have been more civilized than most towns or communities were in Europe back then. But I do think White painted the native Americans uncivilized savages by painting them unclothed and participating in religious ceremonies and ways of prayer that would far from the Norm

    In the beginning of the essay, the narrator explains his views about life. The narrator goes onto compare the different aspects of the cultures, and in a sense thinks like the White man, that his culture is inferior. He talks about the peace that he feels when he is home in Wisconsin, “That land which is my home! Beautiful, calm—where there is no hurry to get anywhere…” (paragraph 5). However, he also mentions how such peace is completely lost in the everyday life of a big city. It is apparent that the narrator has lived in a big city for a long time, at least long enough to evaluate the quality of life in such an environment. The narrator expresses dissatisfaction with society, most notably in the essay, “white” society. He bluntly states: “I am tired. I am weary of trying to keep up this bluff of being civilized. Being civilized means, trying to do everything you don’t want to; never doing anything you want to” (paragraph 6). He makes a clear difference between white society and Native American society. Clearly, the writer feels as if he is not fit for white society; after all, he is a Native American. It is this dissatisfaction with his present situation and his present place in culture that causes the conflict that he faces. More simply put, the narrator is in search of an identity.…

    If I would to be a Hollywood producer and if I remade this for a 21st century speaker, I would use a celebrity person named Miranda Crosgrow cast as a speaker, and I would set the scene in San Diego, California. The reason why I would put it in San Diego, California, is because it is very nice there and there is a lot of people to be found there that can be useful for a lot of things. There are Celebrities there as well. It is just a good city overall since it’s in California anyways, where there is good weather, a good scenery is always good. The “Seven Ages of Man,” by William Shakespeare’s play I think that Miranda Crosgrow would be good as the speaker and I could compare her to this act of William Shakespeare’s scene. Miranda Crowgrow played…

    Donald L. Niewyk’s fifth and sixth chapters both deal more with outside perspectives and outside reactions than it does with those who were persecuted. The fifth chapter, “Bystander Reactions,” offers four different arguments as to why bystanders acted they way they did during the Holocaust. The sixth chapter, “Possibilities of Rescue,” discusses three different viewpoints on what foreign governments could have done to prevent the Holocaust. These two chapters conclude Niewyk’s book The Holocaust and wrap up the final sequence of events surrounding the Holocaust and the camps.…

    In this video, I learned that the white Americans who were colonizing America saw the Indians differently from themselves. They stereotyped all Indians as savage and uncivilized things. They used these stereotypes because they were unfamiliar with Indian culture. The Europeans were afraid of tthe Indians and as a result of their Ignorance, they tried to kill them off, assimilatet them, and move them off the land. Since they viewed them as unequals due to their skin tone, it was justification for all the wrong ways the Europeans treated the…

    If someone attempted to rape you, fail to succeed, and then beat you, what would you do? Go to the police and risk nothing coming of an investigation? Pretend it never happened and sweep it under the rug, just to manifest in your later years as perhaps a mental illness or PTSD? I believe that Bean going to a lawyer and pressing charges was the best way to handle this problem. Why? Well, because Jerry Maddox needs to pay, the town needs to know, and Liz needs justice.…

    Charles Lummis: Civilised

    “Civilized men are more discourteous then savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.” once said Robert E. Howard. This quote is related to many historical documents due to the different connotation of the word civilized in each individual story. The reader can interpret the writer's text differently than the actual denotation. In passages such as the Dawes act and Charles Lummis, Native people experience the trials and tribulations of another racial interpretation of the word civilized. In the nineteenth century, when trying to conform to the white mans view of civilization, becoming civilized had multiple effects on the…

    In Brave New World, Bernard and Lenina go to an Indian Reservation. The Warden mentions that anyone who is born in the Reservation is destined to die there (Huxley 48). As they arrive to their rest-house via plane, the pilot assuringly says to Lenina that the savages of the Reservation, the Natives, are tame and that they will do no harm. The pilot adds in that “they’ve got enough experience of gas bombs to know that they mustn’t play any tricks” (Huxley 50). The Natives are often described and mentioned as savages. They are thought to be an uncivilized, barbaric, and vicious population. In Huxley’s fictional society, the savages are tamed through constant violence until they ‘learn’ to do as the ‘civilized’ people tell them to do. Like in Brave New World, modern society abuses Native Americans. The New York Times wrote that “American Indians are more likely than any other racial group to be killed by the police”. The New York Times also wrote that “adolescent [Native] women have suicide rates four times the rate of white women in the same age group”. American Indians are not being treated as equals. The fact that Natives are more likely to be killed by the police, who are supposed to protect, is outrageous. Their race is being targeted or it is not given enough attention. Both societies wound the lives of American Indians, which is not acceptable in any way. Hate towards a race has become one of many normal…

    The asker is a young girl – the freckles on her delicate hands standing out starkly as she clutches the umbrella desperately in an effort to ward of the needles of rain driving hard into the dark, slick pavement of the train station. As I watch, a bead of water drips down the curve of the black hood of her raincoat and lands directly on the center of her nose. Miraculously, it retains its shape, resting there like a perfect dome of reflected light. She wipes it away impatiently, unconscious of the precious gift she has just destroyed. “Ma’am?”…
