Have you ever wondered what is behind fate? A force that is certainly not human‚ that is for sure. If this power is not human what can it possibly be? Mostly fairies and gods are the source of our fate. For example‚ Puck and Oberon in a Midsummer Night’s Dream are just a few of the influences behind fate. Since Puck and Oberon are not human their ways on interference are certainly powers of fate. The duo are not human‚ they work in mysterious ways‚ and are interfering only for the good of the mortals

Land; is this a good enough reason for the mistreatment of Native Americans? Invading their lands‚ killing their people‚ breaking treaties‚ sending them to reservations; all this for land?

It is through their sufferings and misfortunes that Native Americans are entitled to compensation from the U.S. government. Native Americans had been an old culture in America 2000 years ago.

One‚ if not the most provoking themes in this tragedy is fate. Fate as it is eminently implicated in King Oedipus challenges all that we believe. Sophocles upsets with magnificent accuracy one’s reasoning of fate and free will. Shaking the thought of fate as god of our lives‚ we need to understand all that it reflects and seek not only the role of fate in King Oedipus but also the role of belief in such a thing as fate.

I have re-read this book in a relatively new edition. It is a mixture of Kiowa myths‚ family stories‚ history sketches‚ and personal experiences.
