An Analysis Of Arleta In 'Adventures Of An Indian Princess'
Pre-Test Writing Assessment
Prompt: Would the world be a better place if everyone always told the complete truth?

Yes, the world would be a better place if everyone told the complete truth. For example if Arleta in “Adventures Of An Indian Princess” told the truth about how she felt towards the Rapiers remarks and stood up for herself maybe the Rapiers would stop their culture appropriation, “When I first arrived at their home they had seemed to be full of curiosity of what it was like to be an Indian(Native American).” which made Arleta feel uncomfortable already Secondly, if the truth was told certain cultures and races wouldn't be thought of wrongly or represented incorrectly, “In the books available to me as a child Native Americans

    Queen Aggravain Character Analysis: Once Upon A Mattress

    In the eighth grade, I auditioned for a youth production of “Once Upon a Mattress” at the Morgan-Wixson Theater. It was my first time auditioning for a show in which I wasn't guaranteed a role. Being certain of my abilities and craving a challenge, I auditioned and landed a role in the ensemble. A week into rehearsal one of the leads dropped out, and the director called back members of the ensemble to replace her. After performing just a quarter of the monologue I was recast as a lead character. However, I was oblivious to the stress this character would end up putting on my life. I had only ever played romantic leads who had sweet demeanors, and this character had anything but. The villain and antagonist of the story, Queen Aggravain is an…

    Bartolome de las Casas

    The impressions I had about Columbus’ discovery of the New World are completely destroyed by this firsthand account of the horrible truth concerning the native people of America. In both middle and elementary school, I read about the discovery of Christopher Columbus and the evils of both the settlers and Native Americans. Never before, though, had I heard of the torturous, unprovoked attacks directed at the innocent. Never before had I felt such disgust toward people claiming to be Christians. Never before had I known how good and virtuous the natives, at least a large portion of them, were toward the settlers and in their lifestyles. We spend so much time in our schools learning about the horrors of World War II and about how Jews were discriminated against to the point of extermination towards extinction. Civil rights are also studied, and I am in no way displacing the crucial reminders of what African Americans went through in the United States’ past. However, although history textbooks typically mention settlers taking lands, killing off tribes, and taking advantage of the Indians ignorance in the ways of earthly possessions and worth, all I have ever learned concerning the unfair treatment adds up to nothing more than a single scratch on a gory corpse. Compared to this brief, breathtaking, bone-chilling account, I consider my days as blissfully ignorant over as the ugly facts melt away the sugar-coated excuses of angry, murderous tribes forcing…

    Cinderella And Princess Culture Analysis

    In the article, “Cinderella and Princess Culture”, Peggy Orenstein, a contributing writer for New York Times Magazine, explores the successful “princess” market and how it negatively impacts young children. Orenstein claims that the princess culture promotes a common gender stereotype of women to young children, especially young girls; therefore, society should lessen the encouragement of being a “princess” and fortify their promotion to a more strong-willed role model (327). Although the article contains evidence to support her claim, Orenstein is unsuccessful because of the use of her biases and opinions placed throughout the article, that expresses her own negative views toward princesses and the feministic reinforcements she makes on her own daughter.…

    Howard Zinn Ch.1

    In the first chapter of A Peoples History of the United States by Howard Zinn, the main focus is on the Indians, Christopher Columbus and the human progress and the author’s way of presenting factual information. Christopher Columbus is introduced as the famous navigator and explorer of the “New World”. We were taught in school that he discovered America and that was just enough for our tiny brains to like him because America is built on freedom and justice. We assumed that the man who “discovered” the place we call home had the same moral and ideals. Sadly, what was neglected to be taught in school was that our ideas about Christopher Columbus weren’t entirely true, infact we were even given the whole story.…

    Self Analysis Psy/285

    I am honest. Telling the truth can be hard for people to do but not me. Telling the truth can be hard for people to hear. But it is the only way for us to better ourselves or to move past an event in our lives. I have seen the affects growing up of how my father lied to my mother and the damage that is can cause. Honesty allows us to build trust which is such an important bond that we build with our family, friends and even total strangers. As I am getting older I am realizing that honest is always the best policy but it matters on how you deliver the honesty.…

    Being Honest Tell The Truth Rhetorical Analysis

    We live our lives by what we think we should do” (Ballinger 9). Is lying the best route to take while trying come to a solution? Or, is honesty the best way to go? In the article, “Brad Blanton: Honestly, Tell the Truth” Barbara Ballinger the author, interviews Brad Blanton who argues that telling the truth and being honest is better than lying. In the text, Brad Blanton believes that “being honest all the time is what’s radical - and rare.” However, he wants to convince others that honesty is better than lying. For example, he says that, “You have to think about what the person’s reaction might be, and you start manipulating information to control the outcome” (Ballinger 7). This proves that lying isn’t always the greatest path to take when trying to get out of a uncomfortable situation.…

    Myths that Hide the American Indian

    Nearly everyone in this world is guilty of stereotyping against a certain race, religion, ethnic group, nationality, etc. One of those groups that are stereotyped is the Native Americans. Ever since the Europeans "discovered" the New World, there have myths about the Native Americans that lead to this stereotyping. In the essay, "Myths That Hide the American Indian" by Oliver La Farge, many of those myths are brought up. Due to these myths about the Native Americans, people's views, past and present, of who and what they are have become extremely distorted, or essentially hiding the Native Americans from white people.…

    Everyday children are taught that Christopher Columbus is a hero and that he discovered America, but they aren’t taught about what he did to Native Americans while discovering America and the real truth about whom he was and what he did. Although Columbus encouraged European exploration of the “New World”, he is not the hero that everyone believes him to be. He had very little knowledge of where he was and Native Americans were badly mistreated under his command.…

    Critical Lens Essay on Othello

    Adrienne Rich once said, "Lying is done with words but also with silence". This means that lying isn't only when one tells something false, but also when one does not speak at all, the truth included. This is generally true. A text that illustrates this quote would have characters who do not reveal the truth at a time when doing so would be important. Othello by William Shakespeare satisfies this quote with characters like Emilia and Iago.…

    Final Paper

    Before taking the class, “American Indian Literature,” I was not aware that I had stereotypes regarding Native Americans. First, this class brought it to my attention that I had misinterpreted Native people in a few different areas of their lives. It upsets me that I thought the stereotypes that I once held in my mind were true. After I acknowledged these generalizations about this group of people, it was a process of reading truth directly from Native writers in literature class. As I was told the truth from Native people themselves, these stereotypes slowly diminished and I realized how ugly and hurtful categorizing people really is.…
