Coopers Chingachgook
The Death of Chingachgook as the Apogee of the tragedy of the Indian
Nation in Cooper^s The Pioneers
The Pioneers, written by James Fenimore Cooper in 1823 opens the
popular series of books about the adventures of an inhabitant of the
New England forests Natty Bampo ^ a white man, a scout, and a hunter.
However, the novelist does not merely narrate the life of Natty, his
main aim is to present the whole situation on the Eastern Coast of
America in the seventeenth century. In The Pioneers, in particular,
Cooper writes about the new settlers in America, about their conquest
of the lands, and about the tragic extinction of the Indian people,
who had been proud owners of the lands of America. One of the most
important moments in this book, and even in the whole cycle, is the
scene of the death of Natty Bampo^s best friend Chingachgook, the last
representative of the Indian tribe of Mohicans. In this scene the
author presents his most important ideas about the vices of the new
settlers, hypocrisy of Christianity, and the tragedy of the native
inhabitants of the American lands. C! ooper actually makes the death
of the Mohican sound as a final chord in the calamitous history of the
Indian people, who under the onslaught of European civilization are
doomed to disappear. He makes the dying Indian chief a symbol for his
perishing nation, presenting him at the last minutes of his life in his
national costume and believing in the Indian morals and gods. Moreover,
by misspelling his name on the gravestone, Cooper redoubles the tragic
implication that after the death of Chingachgook his culture is
forgotten and lost, and a meaningful Indian name loses its importance
for the white people who come to live in the formally Indian forests.
Towards the end of The Pioneers the tragic story about the
Indians who were expelled from their lands by the white
Europeans, reaches its apogee. The scene of the Chingachgook^s
dying is full of sadness, pain, and hopelessness. In a very
meaningful way Cooper presents his Indian hero on the threshold
of death, sitting "on a trunk of a fallen oak" (p.381). Thus he
hints at the identity between the old chief and the tree,
implying that once young and strong they both are now old and
lifeless. Moreover, as the fallen tree is now disconnected from
the company of the strong young forest mates, thus also
Chingachgook with his "tawny visage" (p.381) is lonely among
the liveliness of the newly established colonies. So Cooper
writes that in place of the once virgin forests where the
I have a tendency to forget to breathe when I'm sitting in my art history class. A double slide projector set-up shoots its characteristic artillery - bright colors, intense shapes, inscriptions in languages that are at times read merely as symbols by my untrained mind, archaic figures with bodies contorted like elementary school students on the recess monkey bars. I discuss Diego Rivera's "The Liberation of the Peon," Frida Kahlo's "Self-Portrait," and Anselm Kiefer's "To the Unknown Painter" with my classmates. The room is never silent as we marvel at these images. When the slide projectors give off that first glimmer of light, their Gatsby spot of a blurry green hope at the end of the dock, we depart on our collective imaginary field trips. The teacher doesn't need to coax, to pry, to pose multiple-choice questions. We are already on our way.

Creole and Cajun cuisine has been around since the mid 1800’s.[] The best place to trace its origin is New Orleans, Louisiana. The Cajun and Creole recipes are influenced by: French, Spanish, German, African and Italian contributions.[] New Orleans is a place where people live to eat and the living is easy going. Dinning is part of New Orleans culture and you are sure to find a place to find food love. In present day, New Orleans’ menus vary from corner to corner. There is so much to choose from, it is hard to believe that any restaurant could have survived all these years. However, there is one restaurant that has been with New Orleans since the beginning of its exquisite cuisines. Antoine’s a family owned Creole-French restaurant that has had over 174 years of success in the city.[] As we look into the history of Antoine’s, we will discover what is it about this place that keeps customers coming back.

We all have to face it at some point; an event of such enormity that it can make everything else in our lives seem insignificant: death, the end of our existence; our departure from this world. We live in a society where people denies death. We are taught to forget about death. Death is hard for everyone. No-one can live forever. We all have our own time to leave this universe. We are always busy in our life thinking about making our future better.But, we even don’t know what will happen next. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (1969) divided the behavior and thinking of dying persons into five stages: denial and isolation, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.Denial and isolation are Kübler-Ross' first stage of dying,
“According to Humane Society International, animals used in experiments are commonly subjected to force feeding, forced inhalation, food and water deprivation, prolonged periods of physical restraint, the infliction of burns and other wounds to study the healing process, the infliction of pain to study its effects and remedies, and "killing by carbon dioxide asphyxiation, neck-breaking, decapitation, or other means.”(Peta). Have you ever wondered if a product you own was safe to use? Did you know that millions of animals are tested on each year for the daily products you use? According to Peta, around 26 million animals are tested each year in the United States for scientific and commercial testing. Animals are used to develop medical treatments, determine the toxicity of medications, check the safety of products destined for human use, and other biomedical, commercial, and healthcare uses (Peta). Animals are harmed or sometimes even killed in this process. Animals are not the same as humans, therefore; the testing done on Animals is not helping our human society, it’s hurting the animals. There are alternative ways to performing testing rather than testing on animals.
Each year animals are brought to animal testing labs where scientists preform experiments on them to see if a product is safe for a human or not. These animals patiently await the next procedure to be done on them because they have no other choice. These experiments can cause multiple side effects on animals that can be both painful and agonizing. These experiments can also last days which means that the innocent animals have to live in pain up until a scientist thinks that the experiment has gone on long enough. Also, animal experiments cannot always be trusted because they have different genetics than humans so
“Animal testing has its flaws and its benefits and results in helping humans while harming animals. Animal advocates claim that this act is extremely inhumane and unjust to animals; yet, are we doing the right thing? Are humans so much more important than animals? Is an animal’s life worth less than a human’s? These are all questions we will have to ask ourselves when we take our next vaccine or medicinal
As mentioned earlier, the expectations for mixtapes have shifted within the past decade, which may work against Y-3 .The project has a traditional mixtape sound, which inherently isn't a bad thing, but may disappoint some. There isn't a clear, cohesive theme or sound that can be found beneath the tracks a whole. Mickey's latest is a collection of loosies which is intent on showing off his skills with little to tie them together. Topics range from social issues to relationships to video game punchlines. Production varies from chaotic (such as on "Syzygy") to slowed down like on "Heaven's Whisper" and everywhere in-between. The variety and diversity can be viewed within a strength once contemporary biases are put aside. The strong lyricism on "Hayworth" with Elzhi and Cyhi along with the relationship woes of "Never Bout Us" gives listeners the best of both worlds.
Throughout the history of mankind there are two main things that are guaranteed in life, taxes and death. According to researchers at Hebrews For Christians, 56,000,000 people die each year, (Parson, 2014). Many of these people die at ripe old ages while there are a plethora of young people who die slow and tragic deaths. When death occurs many people are not prepared and therefore many devastating things can result from this. People usually experience problems with their emotions, they will stress over a number of situations, and many health issues will arise. Many people become depressed for long periods of time and give up on life. Although there are people who take these experiences to heart, there are many ways a person can deal with these problems. Dealing with these problems in a healthy manner, can lead to a very healthy healing process for everyone who is being affected by it. In this research paper I will discuss three main keys points. The first key point I will discuss the stages of death in the Kubler - Ross Model. Secondly I will discuss is the psychological effect of how death can effect people in many different ways. Third and final, I will show you many different ways a person can deal with grief.

The most unfortunate fact about death is sometimes arrives unexpected and the quick action seizes years of work, plans, irreplaceable feelings and definetly damages the surroundings. Death collects away the energy from our closest friends and loved ones, while our few companions have to make adjustments moving and sustaining into the future discovering divergent paths to lay a hold of and experience while leaving the old ways behind. People are abandoned to bare the vicarious feelings from such a tragic event and become survivors, often abscond into different lifestyles or professions. “ Who will
Many sands had the tree known; many green neighbors had come and gone, yet the tree remained. The mighty roots had endured such whips and scorns as had been cast upon it, but the old tree had survived, a pillar of twisted iron and horn against the now sickly sky. In the waning light of evening, the tree waited.
