Moving forward into chapter seventeen of Cormac McCarthy’s “Blood Meridian”, Glanton’s crew rode on as the Apaches they drank with held back, as they refused to ride through the night. The next night Glanton’s men made a fire and discussed what’s happened in their group, the members who’d been killed. Then brought up there possibly being life on other planets. The Judge immediately disagreed though and did a trick, as if that was being the proof to his point or something. As they travelled a little farther, Glanton and his men discovered a ferry to travel across the Colorado river to check out a nearby campsite. They discovered the camp was run by a guy named Pablo and called the Yuma’s, which was basically the same group as Glanton’s, ran …show more content…
This next part of this chapter honestly makes me feel better from worrying about the caged mental boy only still alive to be used to make money. A group of women (known as the Borginnis) found out what had been happening and made a change of it. They took The Mental Boy out of the cage and down to the creek to bathe him. Then afterwards, they took his cage and burned it in front of him to show he was really free now. Later that night though, the mental boy was wondering down to the river and tried to swim. He began to drown though. Surprisingly, The Judge realized what was happening and ran down to save him. “The Borginnis woman waded out with her dress ballooning about her and took him deeper and swirled him about grown man that he was in her great stout arms. She held him up, she crooned to him. Her pale hair floated on the water.” (McCarthy 269) This comes when the Borginnis Woman saved the mental boy from the torture …show more content…
Glanton tried to warn the doctor that was running the ferry that the Yuma’s were going to attack him. He didn’t believe him, stating he knew the Yuma group and was on good terms with them. Glanton knew the plan though, he made the plan, he knew what was going to go down. As Glanton knew, the Yuma’s attacked a couple of days later. The Judge betrayed the Yuma group, as he used the Doctors howitzer and killed half of them right then and there and chased the rest into the woods to be killed, only leaving a few to get away. Come to further discovery, Glanton only did this to take charge of the ferry, charging everyone that crossed everything and anything they had to be able to pass by. He even used a few of them to turn in to his slaves. (Which again, confuses me because he just ran to save the mental boy from drowning, and then captured slaves a day
I have chosen to write my response paper on our course’s monograph Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin, by Timothy D. Snyder published by Basic Books in 2010. This text is considered revisionist history and has been very well received, even earning the 2013 Hannah Arendt Prize for Political Thought. Snyder’s was considerably unconstrained in his research. He has a reading knowledge of eleven European languages allowing him utilize a wide range of primary and secondary sources. These widespread sources allowed him compile a book containing many groundbreaking perspectives and conclusions.
Cormac McCarthy's setting in Blood Meridian is a landscape of endless and diverse beauty. McCarthy highlights the surprising beauty of combinations of scrubby plants, jagged rock, and the fused auburn and crimson colors of the fiery wasteland that frame this nightmarish novel. Various descriptions, from the desolate to the scenic, feature McCarthy's highly wrought, lyrical prose. Such descriptions of the divine landscape seem to serve a dual function. While being an isolated highlight to this gruesome novel, McCarthy's beautiful setting also serves as an intricate device in defining the novel's themes and creating the reality in which it is set.

a. Railroads in the late nineteenth century helped America become the richest industrial nation on earth. The railroads increased commerce and integrated the American market as well as helped national brands to emerge such as Ivory soap and A&P grocery stores. They also introduced time zones to make shipping and passenger travel more standard. The railroad was the first modern publicly traded corporations, the companies were large and expanding across the country. Railroad companies had a large amount of employees. Capital was needed to build railroad tracks so stocks were sold to the public such as wealthy tycoons such as Vanderbilt and Carnegie. The Railroad system was also a symbol of the partnership between national government and industry. The railroad would have never been created without legislature, land grants passed out by congress. An example would be the Central Pacific Railroad it was backed by wealthy tycoons including Leland Stanford, the ex-governor of California who had useful political connections, and Collis P. Huntington, an adept lobbyist. Railroads gave land th...

The group included Fathers Dominguez and Escalante, eight Spaniards recruited in New Mexico and El Paso, and four more from southwestern Colorado . Along the route in Colorado, the group encountered Utes (whom they referred to as Yutas) several times. They eventually convinced two to join them as guides. These guides were given the Spanish names Silvestre and Joaquin. They proved to be invaluable to the group’s success in their travels. Another vital member of the group was Berenardo Mierra y Pacheco who drew a detailed map of the area, which turned out to contain several inaccuracies, but was still influential to future
In conclusion, this was an awesome story. The above questions were the catalyst to the real truth that would make the brother to that little girl free at last. His son was determined to break the cycle and remedy this generational condition, although the means by which he used were terrible. But, he would get through to his father. He shed light in the dark place by first beating his father into sobriety, so that he could think clearly. He then helped his father to open up to the discussion concerning the secret he had held on to for so long. Then, he also convinced his father to burn the “Shawl” of his deceased sister. And finally, his father realized what the true story was. A story that would in turn loose the tie that bound them all together with generational sorrows.
The captain of the local guardsmen stood near the chained child and took a deep breath. "Citizens and guests of Eir Village!" he yelled as if he was going to announce his proudest achievement. "This runt has plagued us for years. One of the Cursed Generation denied by the gods and blessed by demons. He has committed a numerous amount of crimes within the past twenty-four hours: Theft and vandalism are among the minor occurrences," he glared at the boy. "He has eluded us for too long and now, he's here because of murder."
The first and most foremost thing that would come to mind when reading this story is how caring Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones was, that she took in the boy and nurtured him; she tried to teach him between right and wrong. She gave him food, a nice conversation, and even a chance of escape, which he chose not to take, but these methods are still an immoral way of handling the situation. If a boy were to come up to an everyday woman on the streets, that victim would not be as sensitive as Mrs. Jones was to the boy she caught. To teach a young man that if you steal and you are going to get special treatment is not an effective method of punishment.

Bad blood is a book that was written James H. Jones who is an associate professor of History. The book narrates on how the government through the department of Public Health service (PHS) authorized and financed a program that did not protect human values and rights.

In the novel Blood Meridian, by Cormac McCarthy, he illustrates how bloody and gruesome the expansion to the west really was. Deconstruction is defined as “a critique of the hierarchical oppositions that have structured western thought: inside/outside, mind/body, literal/metaphorical, speech/writing, presence/absence, nature/culture, form/meaning” (Culler 126). The author uses deconstruction so that the reader can see how dark the movement to the west was. As previously mentioned, deconstruction of a culture can take place in one’s mind, and by reading this book, the reader’s thoughts on American westward expansion changes because of the dark elements the author uses in his book. McCarthy does this in several ways such as using vivid details about the many battles and fights that happen on the Kid’s journey west, maintaining historical accuracy throughout, and the constant struggle between good and evil.
