A. RED JACKET 1. Describe Red Jacket’s perspective of the relationship between the Native Americans and the European American settlers. Include at least three examples from the literature and notes. • “They told us they had fled from their own country for a fear of wicked men, and had come here to enjoy their religion. They asked for a small seat. We took pity on them; granted their request; and they sat down amongst us. We gave them corn and meat; they gave us poison in return” (Concise Anthology
Foreign Occupation through the Red Man’s Eyes Can two people sharing the same dilemma, fostered by the same external forces, reach completely different assumptions, attitudes, and reasons for a solution? A similar scenario to this question fell upon two prominent Native Americans, Red Jacket and Tecumseh, during the colonial occupation of the New World. Through their eyes, the surrendering of their land brought forth a mixed bag of emotions, ideologies, and generalizations. When analyzed as a group
I threw my books on the bed and approached the jacket slowly as if it were a large object, larger than I was, and it’s gravity was pulling me towards it. I studied it carefully It wasn’t the exact type I wanted, but it was nice. Much nicer than I thought my family could afford. It was a black basketball hoodie, with blue camouflage on the hood and arms. It had an extra layer on the inside, so it had to be warm. I put it on. Soon, I was almost overheating. I flapped the jacket’s arms like birds wings
I am the one in the picture with the sloppy bun in my hair and the bright red cheeks. The one who can't stop smiling. With all my friends surrounding me, it was one of the best days of my life. All fifteen of us look happy; it was a night for many smiles. Everyone is crowded around the table. There are a lot of red cheeks in the picture; the room was as hot as a sauna. There was a strong smell of barbeque sauce in the air as well. The picture was taken right after dinner. The table we are crowded
My blood ran cold as the sound grew louder. The fearsome thump grew more frequent, echoing through the hallway. It can’t be mum. It’s too early she only just left. The harrowing knocks kept coming as I sat on my couch glaring at the sight of my possible demise. It was the usual Friday night routine. My mum working at her job leaving the whole house to me. I was just relaxing in the living room, watching the news. “Reports have come in of several murders that have taken place across London. All victims
13 or 14 years old, maybe a bit more, but certainly not old enough to drive yet, or maybe she was. She was with her family, I think...no, I assume. Her father (I assume) was the big guy with a red sash on his waist and a jacket with a yin-yang patch on the front right side of it and it was black. The jacket, I mean. Her mother (I assume) was there too, and...I don't remember anything at all about her. There was another kid there, younger than her, and I assumed it was her brother. She was beautiful
I am going to write about a character from the book The Outsiders his name is Dallas Winston also known as “Dally”. I am going to be writing this essay is a first person perspective through journal entries then it was that day…. I was sitting there waiting for Ponyboy and Johnny. So finally they showed up and we went to the drugstore in the shopping center. After a while the movie was starting so we left The Dingo. We snuck through the back fence cuz I hated paying for stupid stuff like this. We
In An Indian’s View1805, the recollection of the great Indian orator Red Jacket, on the arrival of the white people, can be taken as the beginning of the end of the Native American Indian way of living and culture. As he states in his speech to the missionary Reverend Jacob Cram, “But an evil day came upon us; your forefathers (the Europeans) crossed the great waters, and landed on this island. Their numbers were small; they found friends, and not enemies; they told us they had fled from their own
into the kitchen asking what happened. I wanted to go to him and ask him what was wrong, but I didn’t dare…But then I couldn’t stand it anymore and I got up and ran down the hall to the kitchen. There, in the middle of the room, wearing his Goodyear jacket and work clothes was my father. He was on his hands and knees, his head hanging as though it were too heavy to support, and he was rocking back and forth and babbling in a rhythmical stutter. It’s funny, but the first thing I thought when I saw him
blue corduroy jacket of the FFA, proudly displaying the FFA emblem on the back, embroidered with blue and gold thread. These members are standing in the center of Freedom Hall; the main auditorium used to hold the National FFA Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. They are anxiously awaiting the first session of the first National Convention to be held in Kentucky. Amidst the sea of blue and gold, one member stands silently in awe of the multitude of people. The sleeves of his blue jacket hang stiffly
yellow cotton jacket has come off its hook. On the “cloakroom floor” it is trampled on - “scuffed and blackened underfoot.” The sequel to this is that “back home”, a mother (presumably the mother of the child whose jacket this is) “puts two and two together” and gets the wrong answer (“makes a...fist of it” in the dialect phrase). We do not know what the right answer would be. One possible reading is that the mother blames the child for being careless and not checking that the jacket was hung on

approached the jacket slowly as if it were a Christmas present that I had already knew what was inside it. The jacket was perfect! It had all the studs that I wanted, the perfect color and the greatest of all quality. Even though it was 3 times my size I still loved it. Then my heart dropped to my stomach. “Your jacket is in the closet!” says my mom. Her voice rung in my ear like a fire alarm that happened out of the blue. I look in the closet to see if there was any other jacket. I open the closet
necessary given Holden's legal status as a minor--and his younger sister Phoebe. His induction took place without any incident. At the time of his arrival, Holden appeared very tired and run-down. He was wearing woolen slacks and a warm jacket but appeared to be suffering from an intense chill. His walk was slow and his gait guarded, as if he expected an attack at any moment. He appeared lucid but seemed unsure of his location. His tiredness and confusion, however, did not mask his above
I received two awards for my participation in cross-country. The first one I received as a junior, and it was the domestique award, which coach Heath named the award after a biking term used in the Tour de France. The domestique is a term used to describe a rider who works for the benefit of his team or leader instead of trying to win outright. Although I wasn’t our fastest runner, I was almost always at practice, and willing to help push my teammates to greater heights. Later that year I also became
Book Jackets Book jacket, book cover, dust jacket, dust cover. They are all words that describe one pretty innocuous thing: the thing that covers the hard cardboard cover of a book. The book jacket was developed for practical purposes only: to protect books from dust, insects and other harmful entities. However, as years progressed, the book jacket has become a separate part of the book itself and the reading experience. The book jacket has morphed into not only an addendum used to help sell
your parents for chores in order to make money to pay off your bills. • You had to pawn your CD player to pay for all those cool CDs you bought last month. • Your parents give you funny looks when you leave for school wearing a $500 leather jacket, but ask them for lunch money. Warning Signals You SHOULD have this guide, if you have ever experienced one of these: • You’ve really really wanted to go out one night, but simply couldn’t find the money. • The above, but you couldn’t
is clearly the right way to go. Advice that works doesn’t have to be deep or inspirational. Take for example when a mother gives her children the advice to but a jacket on because it is cold outside. It is nothing new, it is just because she is concerned about her children and knows from experience that when it is cold you need a jacket. Also, in my example, the friend that gave me good advice wasn’t being pushy or saying you have to do this or else. She left it up to me. This means for good advice
about the history of book jackets. Although most of the information in the small book was unnecessary, I did learn some of the history behind book jackets. Although the people of today look at book covers to get some idea of the contents of the book, back in the eighteen hundreds books had jackets so that the pages would not get dusty or dirty. Some books had covers made of leather but usually these were books, like the Bible, that needed protection. The bookseller put the jacket on before it was placed
with the Natives. Native Americans, however, are peaceful, accepting, hospitable, tremendously environmentally friendly and their way of life is inveterate with nature and their religious beliefs. Through reading The Iroquois creation story and Red Jacket: Reply to the Missionary
