Essays on Trail

- What features of the landscape are significant to the placement of the trail? There are a lot of features of the Wallace Falls’ landscape. Majority of which are just so magnificent to be treated natural. The trails basically function to connect the different landscape and other geographical features of the Wallace Falls State Park. Some of the best features and landscapes that the trails connect—which necessarily makes it significant include the three greatest falls in Wallace River, the coniferous forests that surround the state park’s land areas, and the rivers, streams, and lakes that intensify the ...

One of the greatest and most tragic failures in American history was the Trail of Tears. The forced relocation of Native Americans from their tribal lands in the southeastern United States (mainly Georgia) to reservations in present-day Oklahoma serves as both a blemish on American history, and a reminder of the legacy of racism that condoned the mistreatment of Native Americans by the earliest white settlers of the young Republic. In 1838, thousands of Native Americans of the Cherokee tribe were forced from their homeland in Georgia by about 7,000 US troops, who were ordered to speed up the ...

Introduction

Andrew Jackson became the president in 1828 through an election. He had the idea of putting up a relatively small and limited structure government. With this agenda at hand, he also had a vision of raising the executive powers for the president. Perpetuated by his vision Andrew made two accomplishments that made him well known among the American citizens. One of the achievements was his objection of the national bank claiming excessive foreign influence in national issues of the United States. It was out of his ideology that turned into the compulsory migration of the Indians to the west of the ...

One question that the world will perhaps never stop asking is “what is the meaning of our life?” Every philosopher in one way or another centers their career around answering this question. Is not literature and art just an attempt at either answering this question or of making the case for one possible answer? One common theme is that the answer is not a static turn of phrase, but one that is found through a journey that endeavors to understand. This essay analyzes how that question becomes answered through the journey’s of protagonists in four contemporary novels: Pauhlo Coelho’s “ ...

The Point Reyes national Seashore is an outstanding monument of national beauty and is probably one of the most striking of islands in the Southern California area. The island was formed during several earthquakes and since it lies on the San Bernardino fault, it is obviously prone to earthquakes of substantial power and ferocity. At present the earthquake trail is quite interesting although it is actually eroding itself day by day making it ever more dangerous for a visit. There actually over 240 kilometers of trails which can explore on the Point Reyes island although this is by far ...

Hollywood represents not just a city but an industry flourishing in film making. Before Hollywood acquired the title of being the world entertainment Mecca, real estate development was the city’s backbone industry. In fact, the naming of the town and erection of the Hollywood sign can be traced back to developments in real estate, the city’s original economic mainstay. The Hollywood sign which connoted the city was erected in the year 1923 by Los Angeles Times publisher Harry Chandler at a cost of 21,000 dollars as a billboard for his upcoming Hollywood land real estate development. The sign originally ...

Book Review - The Long Bitter Trail

In The Long Bitter Trail: Andrew Jackson and the American Indians, Anthony F.C. Wallace takes on the unenviable task of discussing the Jacksonian era of Indian removal, recounting the history and politics of the forcible expulsion of Indians from their native homes by the United States Government. Though brief (the book comes in at only 120 pages), Wallace's work tries for conciseness and brevity in this subject; no footnotes can be found to supplement the material. Instead, Wallace seems to have meant this book "for students of history and others," and tells the story of Indian removal from pre-contact ...

Introduction

The rise and development of America has a lot of historic landmarks. Being a nation of multiracial origin, discrimination was among the major problems that the minority groups in America faced. People were discriminated based on the skin color and their race. People lived very suspicious lives. Due to the differences, the Americans lived very suspicious of one another. The most devastating aspect of this discrimination was manifested when the incidence of “trail of tears occurred.” It was a historical happening where there was forceful relocation and ethnic cleansing that took place when the Native Americans were evicted from the Southeastern parts ...

Introduction

Sea side piers are common architectural structures in Britain. In fact, Britain boasts sixty one piers along its coastline. Most of these piers have long standing histories as many were constructed in the nineteenth century. Most of them have at one point been brought to near ruin by forces of nature such as storms in the sea. Given the significance they hold and the relatively expensive cost of reconstruction, local authorities under whose jurisdiction these piers fall will always have difficulties determining whether or not to invest the limited resources in their reconstruction. Two of the most iconic piers ...

The three events that stood out for me in the video, The Trail of Tears are:

Event 1: The Passing and Signing into law of the Indian Removal Act in 1830 Following the growing appetite for Cherokee land by Anglo-American’s and the discovery of gold in their land, there was a growing movement that wanted Native Americans, moved from their lands. This movement was supported by no other than President Andrew Jackson, and it culminated in the legislation of the Indian Removal Act by the United States congress. During the passing of the act, there was only one dissenting voice, and immediately after the passing of the legislation President Jackson signed it into law. ...

The sign read “Grizzly Bear Scene: June 15”. It was June 16th. The sign was posted to the billboard at the head of Flattop Mountain Trail. Hikers are required by law to post to the trailhead when they see a bear. A bear had been sighted at this trail the day before. This was a typical day hiking in Alaska. This was a typical day on the best vacation I ever had. Alaska is a place full of adventure and life. Its exciting wild areas and vast expanses of unexplored territory truly make it the Last Frontier. Yet, it is also a place where ...

The election of Obama in 2008 met a lot of criticism from the different races in United States of America. Most of these arguments were based on racial background certainly due to the skin color of Obama. The media had different speculations terming the move as an end of racism. Later, it could be seen as the emerging of a different way or perspective in post racial America. The victory of Obama in 2008 followed by reelection in 2012 eluded a series of debates, court orders and sincere discussion on the end of the termed ‘color blind’ or black-white difference. The media ...

When I was a child, my relationship to animals was very close. The neighborhood children and I often included family pets in our games as if they were one of us. Dogs enjoy many of the same games that children spend their days playing. They enjoy frisbee, hide-and-seek, tag, and imaginary adventures of exploration. In a few cases they patiently submitted to being dressed up in baby clothes and became part of the family when we played house. Even though we were the “owners” of these dogs, we never thought of ourselves that way. To us, they were equal members of ...

I could hear the birds chipping and insect noises as I approached the Ojibway Park and Nature Trail. It was a nature trail of about 105 hectares in Windsor Ontario. Many had described of its beauty but none as I witnessed on that weekend. The people who had spoken about it did not do it justice. When I first held it in sight, I witnessed a majestic, overpowering, and enduring trail waiting to fill me with its freshness and almost healing smells. I had not witnessed anything like it in my life. When I was a small child, I always used to ...

Background

In a recent documentary published by National Geographic about the trails of the DNA, particularly in Africa, a lot of facts and correlations between races were discovered. The documentary focused on three races: the Africans, Europeans and the Asians.

The Canadian poet Robert Service remains a paradox. He is the best selling poet of the twentieth century and yet his work has been reviled and criticized by literary critics. His biographer, Mallory, claims that “his poetry has touched the lives of millions of North Americans” (xv). Because of his enormous success, Service’s life was a real rag-to-riches story. Born on January 16th, 1874 to Scottish parents (his father worked in a bank), he followed his father’s footsteps when he first left school, joining a bank in Glasgow, the family having moved back to Scotland where Service joined them at ...

A Presentation

My presentation today is about two well-known Australian poems which are both broadly anti-war in their overall message, but were written in different periods and use different poetic techniques to convey the poet’s emotions and thoughts. ‘The Trains’ by Judith Wright was written during the Second World War when the threat of a Japanese invasion of the north of Australia was seen as a real possibility. ‘Homecoming’ by Bruce Dawe was written in response to Australian involvement in the Vietnam War in the late 1960s and early 70s.

Each poem’s title gives no hint of its actual subject ...

Data mining refers to the computational process useful for the discovery of large sets of data, which employs methods on knowledge for artificial intelligence, statistics analysis, machine learning and database systems.

He was born to a single mom, which at that time was considered to be despicable, thus, his grandparents, took him in as his son, and he grew up thinking that ...

SVEDKA Vodka Case Study

There is definitely a gap in the spirits industry between under-$10 and $25-and-up “prestige” vodkas; therefore, Cuvelier could convince U.S. distributors of SVEDKA vodka to launch this mid priced high quality brand at a selling price of $12-13 for American consumers. It should be noted that the distributors could acquire 0.75 L vodka bottle SVEDKA at $6 – $6.5 and could offer it to retailers, stores, bar and night clubs at the price of $9-10 depending upon sales volume growth of customers. The SVEDKA distributors could make relatively higher gross margins of 35 – 40% at aforementioned price that enables them to ...

This system creates a line between the guilty and innocent, the good and the evil in a manner ...

Self-reliance

“Be yourself; no base imitator of another, but your best self. There is something, which you can do better than another. Listen to the inward voice and bravely obey that. Do the things at which you are great, not what you were never made for.” (Emerson) (Nina et al, 1094) In this quote, Emerson urges people to remain themselves at all times. He insists on people obeying their natural instincts, trusting in their intrinsic abilities and doing the things that they can do best. He believes that by so doing everyone will be able to rely in him/herself. ...

Chip Mazey is a vice president of the group. During a meeting with him, in a working situation or social meeting, I would pinpoint a number of issues that we feel the officer needs to work on. A particular aspect that the manager needs to work on would be on how he relates with his employees. Respect for employees is a trait that is missing in Chip’s style of administration. Chip's style of administration started right after he was promoted to the vice president's position and his ego took a grip on him. The manager is so full of himself that he continually brags ...

In the passage Spade Archer, Dashiell Hammett uses lengthy description of the physical attributes of characters to create a long-lasting impression on the mind of the reader. For example, the author’s description of Sam Spade is interesting because of the manner in which Sam’s mean-looking frame is brought out. Hammett says, “Spades jaw was long, his chin a jutting v under the more flexible v of his mouth. His nostrils curved back to make another, smaller, v.he looked rather pleasantly like a blond Satan” (2). Apart from grabbing the attention of the reader, the vivid description makes the character appear ...

INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE

I. INTRODUCTION In the course of acting as administrator of a victim advocacy agency, there are many instances in which the administrator must interact with individuals of other cultures and other backgrounds. Intimate partner violence occurs across all cultures, regardless of race, age, gender, or cultural status; however, certain societies have normalized intimate partner violence much moreso than American society has. Understanding the normalization of partner violence and the ways that this normalization can hinder women when they seek help for their problems is fundamentally important, particularly when these women are expected to act within the framework of a society ...

In the past few decades, the debate regarding payment for college athletes has become a pressing issue for higher education, necessitating a deeper look into the consequences of paying college athletes such high amounts for their playing. Some argue that the emphasis on athletics in the higher education experience has left other departments hurting for funds, leaving the budget for actual academics lower while athletes are allowed to focus on sports instead of learning. However, the purpose of this research paper is to argue that college athletes’ current high compensation is justified, due to the profits that schools bring in from ...

Introduction/Thesis

The idea of ‘everyday’ is intriguing because no two people see this as a common phenomenon; they see it differently. It can be a time anytime of the day, be it morning, afternoon, evening, or even night, or it could be routines or habitual activities that are repeated by individuals. Whatever the act, the ‘everyday’ phenomenon is hard to define as everyone perceives this differently. When perceived from an artistic point of view, the concept of ‘everyday’ finds a whole new meaning; it harbors on alienation, interaction, space and place, as well as materiality and dirt. Artists Francis Alys and Thomas Hirschhorn ...

Exodus. It is a word that refers to a mass departure of people from one place to another. But for most people, it also means one other thing: liberation. This is because in the Bible’s book of Exodus, the Israelites were liberated by Moses from their slavery in Egypt. For more than 200 years, they were treated as if they were mere objects instead of human beings. But during their exodus, they were able to gain back not just their freedom and rights, but their identity as well. The Exodus perfectly demonstrates how the realities of the physical and material ...

Culture is a set of traditions, habits, values, and norms that a group of people share. That is as basic as definition goes. What it implies though is that culture is intricate, deeply-rooted in a person or nation's psyche, and is quite definitive of a people group's identity. Unfortunately for the outsider, like an entire language to be learned, a group of people's culture takes tremendous amount of time to learn - a lifetime would not be an exaggeration. But for the person who marries as foreigner, or for a merchant wanting to expand overseas, a lifetime is a little too long for such an endeavor. How ...

Answer to Question 1

The novel-based movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers has featured an entirely outrageous concept in its storyline – the involvement of alien forces in the infiltration of a small fictional town of Santa Mira, California.

Introduction to gamma-ray bursts

The universe is made up of many objects some of which scientists have managed to discover while others are yet to be discovered. Gamma-ray bursts form the highest and most complicated cosmic events present in the universe. These are high-energy explosions discovered during the cold war by astronomers. The discovery was made after the United States suspected the soviets could test nuclear weapons in space. They installed satellites in the space that detected gamma-ray flashes. It was until 1997 when astronomers discovered that gamma-ray bursts are caused by explosions of young energetic stars found in the distant galaxies. These ...
