Words: 729 - Pages: 3.... was throughout my school career I have heard so many stories and read so many books about native Americans and native American rituals that it was kind of getting a little old, but never the less I gave this book a chance and it turned out to be a good gamble. That was becuase this book was different in the sense that it got way more in-depth with the beliefs and different legends of the native Americans than all other books that I have read.

Big Two-hearted River
Words: 1176 - Pages: 5....

Words: 792 - Pages: 3.... created and
heightened all the more by its contrast with the initial feeling. From
this point forward, darkness and fear reign supreme. Such words as
"wander", "rayless", and "pathless" are used to describe the stars and
create a sense of despair and hopelessness. The word "extinguished" is
used multiple times in describing both the sun and later for the loss of
fire. Men first give "selfish prayer" and later cast their eyes downward
with "curses". Both of these words portray the close ties to a religious
setting or event. The most obvious of the religious ties is line 46 in
which, "The meager by the meager were devoured". The ironic .....

Mr. Shimerda rose, crossed himself, and quietly knelt down before the tree……" History shows that the Bohemian people were constantly revolting for their freedom.
