Lunar Gold Coins came into being in the year 1999 along with their silver counterparts. The aforementioned coins celebrated the Chinese Year of the Rabbit and featured a Rabbit on its reverse. These gold coins are highly valued by investors and collectors alike due to a limited issuing quantity per year. The latest in these series of gold coins is the 2017 design that flaunts the rooster on its reverse, signifying the Year of the Rooster.…
One of the reasons of why the dollar bill represents why the Indian Removal Act was enforced was because of Manifest Destiny. Manifest Destiny was nothing more than an idea or belief that was popular in the 19th century. This belief was surrounded by Christianity. The belief was that the US was chosen by God to have land/resources. This relates to the dollar bill because it says: “In God We Trust”. The Native Tribes were being swept away and the white settlers believed that it was right for them to be swept away because they didn't believe in god. Their decisions were easier to justify because God was on their side. Manifest destiny was religion plus nationality. If you take your religion and say that you are chosen by god, it turns religion…
“The fish were pulling the guys up the rail toward the bow, and back toward the stern, then back to the bow, but they weren’t really taking any line,” Fleck said. “We weren’t sure what they were.”…
Also, in Los Angeles, there are various water fowl within the Los Angeles River. Animals migrate from one place to another, so water fowls in Los Angeles have high chance to be affected by marine debris in North Hawaiian Islands. Those birds need to cultivate their children, but they don’t have hands to get rid of plastic in their food; accordingly, their next generations survive with plastic, so they get used to plastic debris. Moreover, the unbelievable high percentage shows that it’s been a long time that those birds are suffering from people’s inappropriate behavior. Ironically, plastic companions those birds in their whole lives, even when they pass away. Other than seabirds, sea turtles also get affected by marine debris because they eat plastic bags. The reason they eat plastic bags is the small piece of plastic looks like a jellyfish, which is their favorite food. After sea turtles realize that their food in abnormal, they forage food cautiously. They become skeptical of their food, so they prefer not to eat rather than eat something wrong. Sadly, some of them die because of hunger, and this may cause to become an endangered species over…
We knew we had a chance, we knew we could do it, it was a matter of when. This was one of those moments for most people that when you are in it you don’t realize how big it was until your out of it, but we weren’t most people.…
One role of women in ancient Greek culture as portrayed in The Odyssey is subservient to men. For example, Calypso keeps Odysseus on her island. However, Zeus tells her to let him go, as Hermes declares, “Now Zeus commands you to send him off with all good speed” (5: 156. 125). She responds by protesting that Zeus keeps all the mortal women he wants. However, Calypso listens to Zeus and releases Odysseus. Calypso clearly wants Odysseus to stay, yet she still lets him go, on the orders of Zeus. Even though she is correct in saying the gods are unfair, Calypso must obey Zeus because he is a god. Earlier in the story, we hear Telemachus arguing with the suitors. He tells them he will find news of Odysseus. He also proclaims, “[I will] give my mother to another husband” after he has found news of his father (2: 100. 248). The phrasing, “give my mother,” implies that it is Telemachus’s choice not Penelope’s choice who and when she will marry. Despite the fact Penelope is older; she has to listen to Telemachus, since he is the man of the house. Later in the story, Telemachus again asserts his authority in the hall by saying, “go back to your quarters. Tend to your own tasks, /the distaff and the loom, and keep the women/working hard as well” (21: 435. 390-392) Not only does it show Telemachus’s power; it also shows the job of a woman, which is to spin in their free time. In addition, while the men are feasting and enjoying themselves, the women have to keep working. The women have…

The oiler, the strongest of the group, drowns, but the sea leaves unclaimed the correspondent, the wounded captain and the cowardly cook”(Fiorelli and Edward 1).…
The use of pennies is steadily declining. Most people don’t even keep track of the amount of coins they have, so it’s more than likely that they’ll think it’s useless, and dispose of it. People would throw away the pennies they have, without a second glance. Bit if we all save up our loose change, there’s a chance we’d be able to save up to hundreds, or possibly even millions of pennies.…
Between the disability & Native American community, they are still experiencing discrimination. Yet, those who are in no disability at all, have the mindset of something that a person is as normal. They both tend to overlap the lack of resources they don’t receive, due to the fact of not many people does not pay attention to the ones they are not. It is like the same thing if you don’t experience it, then it is not your problem to solve. But why is it like that, could it be the fact us humans do not really take a glimpse of what people have in their lives. Now, I am not saying most humans are not narcissistic, I am just just stating that maybe the reason why Native Americans and disabled people are not care for to be taking action of, because…
In this story, four men, known simply as the captain, the oiler, the correspondent, and the cook, become stranded in the sea in a small boat. Together they are forced to bare the torments of one of Mother Nature’s toughest challenges, the open sea. In this process these four men learn much about nature and just how little they are on Earth. One of the characters, the correspondent, comes to the realization that nature is indifferent despite the struggles of the individuals, “When it occurs to a man that nature does not regard him as important, and that she feels she would not maim the universe by disposing of him…”. The captain, who is seen as a symbol of strength to the other men on the boat, has doubt as to whether they can make it to shore safely, “Then the captain, in the bow, chuckled in a way that expressed humor, contempt, tragedy, all in one. “Do you think we’ve got much of a show now, boys?” The men in the boat are still upset with what fate has dealt them and seem to have the same opinion that they are still in control of their outcome, “If I am going to be drowned----if I am going to be drowned—if I am going to be drowned, why, in the name of the seven mad gods who rule the sea, was I allowed to come thus far and contemplate sand and trees? Was I brought here merely to have my nose dragged away as I was about to nibble the sacred cheese of life?” The men are in a desperate situation, but nature continues to go on as if they were not there. This unsubstantial state is evident in the story when a shark swimming next to them doesn’t even take notice of their existence. All four men in the boat are searching for some sort of miracle to happen, but neither nature nor fate sends anything their way. All they have to comfort themselves is each other. Throughout the story the men in the boat are working together for a common purpose, to get to the shore. The correspondent remembers a verse about a soldier of the Legion dying in…
E.T.A. Hoffmann's "The Sandman" illuminates Freud's theory of the Uncanny. Freud’s understanding of Nathaniel in E.T.A. Hoffmann’s “The Sandman” is that the Nathaniel’s “madman” like actions are the result of the return of his suppressed juvenile material. Nathaniel is the protagonist and is convinced that a frightful destiny awaits him. His fear focuses on a threatening old man whom he has understood since infantile to be the “Sandman”, a monster who takes away the eyes of children who are awake at night. He connects the “sandman” with Coppelius, a colleague of his father and he incriminates Coppelius in his father's death. As an adult, Nathaniel madness is triggered after having a visitor from what he believes to be the “sandman” whom in reality is a salesman named Coppola. Freud uses E.T.A Hoffmans “The Sandman” to describe the idea of repression of childhood complexes.…
But this is my past and now I’m back to where I started, crawling. Except this time I’m crawling down a sewer pipe infested with the filth of humanity. In the distance I begin to see the ocean, as you know the prison they landed me in, of course was surrounded with water. The only way in and out was by boat. They had helicopters surrounding the prison,…
My whole life I have been surrounded by different experiences with biology. My family has always been really active and I have always loved being outdoors. We go on camping trips, skiing, biking, fishing, swimming, and the list goes on. I remember though, the first time I went to the beach when we first moved to Poulsbo about 4 years ago. My dad had planned the whole trip so that by the time we got down to the beach, we had to hike to it, we would be there in time to explore the tide pools. I had grown up in the mountains in North Carolina to my experiences with the ocean were minimal. I had however seen a sting ray before in Florida. So too the sea urchins, starfish and other ocean creatures, was a great joy for me. I loved it. And I will always remember the time I watched as a small fish swam right into the center of a sea urchin and when it tried to back out the sea urchin closes up and sucked the fish in with it, trapping it. It was so interesting to see that happen. Or the time I went clamming at a friends house. I looked down at the sand thinking a saw movement and squatted down to get a better look and a clam squirted me in the face. We ended up making clam chowder for dinner.…
We live in a world where no one is the same. We all go through things because of the way we look, speak, what we believe in, our social status, or where we come from. We are all different. Those differences are what makes us special. Sometimes what makes us special makes us feel left out too. I have felt left out in some points of my life. I think everyone has felt left out at some time.…
