In the book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Rebecca Skloot is searching for the identity of…
This book is about a boy named Danny Pickett and a dog named Red. Though not based on a true story and is completely fictional, including the area it took place (wintapi wilderness), it feels as if it was real. I highly suggest this book to dog lovers, for it is based mainly on dogs. The first time Danny met Red was when he told Mr. Haggin about a bull of his that was recently killed by Old Majesty, who was a legend around Wintapi.…
Red’s introductory monologue can be used in a variety of ways. Here are a few to consider:…
Red, White, and Black, Chapter 5, by Gary B. Nash talks about many different wars, rebellions, and colonization's that go on with the coastal societies in the 1600s. I learned that in Metacom’s war “some of the coastal tribes were prepared to risk extinction rather than become a colonized and culturally imperialized people”(Nash 110). This interested me by the way they stood up for what they wanted and would not give up even if it costed their…
In an article published in the Our Brother In Red. newspaper, an author from the Indian Missions Conference penned an article expressing his appreciation and adoration for several of their “friends” from Tennessee, as well as expressing kindness towards baptist ministers in their community in St. Louis (where he mentions that they were detained to). He goes on to express a few outrages that these ministers wish for them to publicly express their sins to the community, when members of the tribe would rather just acknowledge their wrongdoings and push forward to better behavior in their lives. In the context, he is expressing that he and his tribe members had no intention of being a cog in the charges brought upon one of the baptists ministers.…
In Godzilla’s Footprint, author Steve Ryfle begins by stating that the film Godzilla was not released to the Unites States until 2004, fifty years after the original release in Japan. Ryfle goes on to quote critics that were flabbergasted by the contrast of two films - the original Japanese film with its primitive special effects and recollection of the horrific aftermath of the atomic bombings, versus the re-cut, copy and pasted version showed to the United states as a monster-mash entertainment film.…
In this literacy narrative, Blogs Are Not Pseudo-Diaries by Stacy Yi, Stacy talks about her experiences writing about her time spent in the Dominican Republic the summer after she graduated high school. The thesis statement of this narrative is “Far more interesting, though, was my hands-on education in the possibilities of travel journalism, and the freedom that comes with disregarding expectations.” Stacy talks about how there were lots of people who wanted to be kept up to date with her experiences while she was in the Dominican so she set up a blog where she could easily do so. At first she wrote mainly about how she was enjoying her time, posted some pictures, and wrote about missing home, the things she thought she should be writing about. Things she thought people wanted to read about. Stacy began to grow bored with what she was writing and the views on her posts were dwindling, she could tell her readers were becoming bored as well. Soon she stopped posting all together, she thought it was pointless. One day, she had a conversation with the oldest daughter of her host family and she knew she wanted to write about her and Stacy decided to post it. She started posting about local soccer games, restaurant reviews, disagreements she had with members of the family, things she really liked to write about. She felt better about the things she was writing, she felt satisfied. Stacy felt that writing day to day posts would provide a lot of information but not capture the feel of her trip to the Dominican. She felt that to make a good record of her trip she needed to write about things were relevant to her trip and in ways that fir the experiences she had.…
I could see this helping someone in understanding a deaf person in their life. It may help them understand the struggles of a deaf child, such as how hard school can be and how frustrating it can be when you have no means of communications to anyone. It also shows off how important inspiration really is. I also see this as a general audience book. While it may help certain audiences, anyone can read this book and enjoy it in a different way. Whether it be for personal enjoyment or for educational purposes, you will have something wonderful to take…
If you are communicating to people via the use of sign language, there are many different situations that you can use it in but there are still many barriers to overcome in these situations. For example, if you are communicating with an elderly service user, they may also have problems with their vision as well. This could mean that they can’t communicate effectively as they can’t see/ make out the symbols. It is most likely for them to use glasses. This means that it can help them make out the actions and improve the chances of them understanding the message.…

The bitter night Avah was killed the whole town was out celebrating. The Spring Festival was an annual affair and only the most isolated of persons would have not been there. It was a festival meticulously planned out by those intrigued in such matters and each detail was carried out to exact perfection. The Humphrey family would perform a skit each year at exactly six-thirty, the mayor would grace the audience with a well-planned speech at six-forty-five. At seven o’clock the potluck dessert would be brought out by the women and then once a half hour had passed, enough time for the people to converse with each other, the festival games would begin.…
Everyday trash gets thrown on the side of the road and in other public areas like parks, schools, and neighborhoods. When trash gets left in these areas for a long time, some of the metals, plastic, and foods can harm plants, animals, even humans. The Litter Bot is an Adafruit that can pick up trash. Redbots or Adafruits are kits that can be put together to create a machine that is programed using Arduino to do tasks that can help provide a service for society, improve quality of life, and will eventually impact political, social and economics for American society.…
In the second grade, I had a crippling fear of my teacher, who loved to play, “Let's pick on all the students who aren’t raising their hands.” In my imagination, school was where carnivorous teachers scanned the classroom, looking to slaughter the most helpless creatures. And it seemed like this one had clear intentions of mounting my prized head on the wall. This meant that I suffered from a chronic case of rapid heartbeat, timid eye contact, and tense palms that left imprints of red crescent moons on my thighs.…
