young age. I refuse to bend and crack under the stereotypes that have been thrown around about girls hunting. All my life I have heard it said that girls can’t hunt or shoot as well as men. I’ve been hunting with my dad literally since I was a baby. We are a family of locavores‚ what this means is that we live off the land. We grow our own vegetables and we hunt and fish for our own meat. So when hunting season comes it is all hands on deck to get the amount of meat we need‚ which is usually at least

The Red Hunting Cap Massimo Giannone There are many motifs throughout the Catcher in the Rye but one really interests me‚ and that is Holden’s red hunting cap. The red hunting cap is a motif that symbolizes Holden’s alter ego‚ the side of Holden that wants to confidently stand out.

Holden Caulfield’s red hunting cap is a symbol for his individuality. Caulfield only wears his hat when he “d[oes]n’t give a damn how [he] look[s]” and when he knows “[he] wouldn’t meet anybody that kn[ows] [him]” (88‚ 122). Caulfield is insecure about himself--this is demonstrated by his inability to connect well with others--and his “corny” hat is one of his insecurities (18). Despite how insecure he is about his individuality--and subsequently his hat--he still keeps it close by. Most of

Theodore Roosevelt describes what the Western part of the United States is like in his book Ranch Life and the Hunting-Trail. He states that” the whole region is one vast stretch of grazing country‚ with only here and there spots of farmland‚ in most places there being nothing more like agriculture than is implied in the cutting of some tons of wild hay or the planting of a garden patch for home use” (Roosevelt‚ 1).
