Another character who plays an important role in both texts is Manuelito or Hastiin Ch’il Hajin (Man of Black Weeds), a Navajo born in 1818, son-in-law of the famous leader Narbona. Both the Americans and the Navajos looked at Manuelito as a leader through the period of the long walk (Denetdale 52). Denetdale focuses on Manuelito in a chapter entitled “A Biographical Account of Manuelito: Noble Savage, Patriotic Warrior, and American Citizen.” Her attention is directed at the multiplicity of views of Manuelito in established American history, Navajo oral history, and the popular discourse. Denetdale includes Navajo stories of Manuelito from his son, Bob Manuelito or Naaltsoos Neiyéhí, and Herrera, a Navajo chief at Bosque Redondo, highlighting…

About twenty-six Mexican men risked their lives on the journey to cross the deadly desert to the United States. As their “coyote”, Jesus Mendez was paid to guide the men (referred to as “walkers”). By the end of the journey, fourteen men had died while Mendez and the rest of the twelve men survived. As a result, Mendez was charged and tried for 16 years in prison for manslaughter; however, the walkers were aware of the risk they were taking so Mendez shouldn’t have been responsible for their deaths and charged with manslaughter.…
On the morning of September 11,2001 nineteen men hijacked four planes. Only hours later 2,977 innocent people were killed. Have you ever wondered what a criminal mastermind could contribute to a society? I thought about the same thing when I saw Osama bin Laden’s name on the list of people to choose for this project. This is the main reason why I picked Osama bin Laden for my report. I wanted a challenge, not an easy look up in two seconds type of research report. Osama bin Laden actually did contribute a few things to our society, not to give him credit, but he did indeed contribute something. “No man has had a greater impact on American culture in the 21st century than Osama bin Laden.” (One-man show:How Osama bin Laden).This…
I’d believe Winston to be a human trying to make a change. He gave in at the end and loved Big Brother but this was from the torture and mind control that he endured from O’Brien, he always knew this would be the outcome from his diary entries, conversations with Julia and his observations of Jones, Aaronson and Rutherford at the Chestnut Tree Cafe. Breaking his only promise to Julia, not to betray her, was unable to be avoided, seeing his rantings after his visit to room 101, and the brief encounter with Julia when he is released. She betrayed him too. Everyone betrays everyone. This was room 101’s purpose. To remove everything and everyone you love except Big Brother.…
In this photo, including myself, there are five people. I am on the far left, and one of the four persons on the inside of a barbed wire gate located at a motel about thirty miles south from Tegucigalpa. I carried a large bottle of water and wore an aged Redskins’ football t-shirt. These four people on the inside of the gate are in their night wear and etc. The one person behind the gate is wearing semi presentable clothes (a tucked in blue collared shirt, a buckled white pair of cargo shorts and sneakers). The woman wearing glasses whom is next to myself was the oldest out of the five in the photo. Her name I cannot recall. The boy facing her is named, John, who was the same age myself then. Behind John, stood Jake, and he was the second oldest at least two or three years ahead of John and I. The boy behind the gate was David.…
