Exercise 6.4B: The Symbolism Of The Raft
The entire collage would have a black construction paper background to symbolize the darkness that kept surrounding them wherever it was that they went. There would be a light blue strip of shiny fabric running from the top left corner of the paper to the bottom right. This would be the river. On that river would be shiny jewels, silver and black in color, to represent the rocks that the had to go through to get from one part to another. One the top of the collage, there would be a simple squared with a triangular roof topped house on a raft. Although Jim and Huck did not have a fancy raft, it was still what they considered dear to themselves and it was what they saw as home for the time being. This would be painted on however, in watercolor to also represent that their home was still indeed on water.
Around them would be complete chaos. Magazine cuts images could be placed surrounding the entire stream and raft representation. There would be pictures of guns, animals, people's faces showing the difference facial expressions. Over a section of bright colors, or the brighter magazine cut outs with the positive expressions would be the quote, "Jim this is nice. I wouldn't want to be nowhere else but here" (47) to emphasize that there were also some positive times shared amongst all the chaos and drama.
Exercise 6.5B: Conflict of Conscience
Huck befriends Jim, a former slave who he sees as just being Black at first. Because of this entire experience, Huck is...
Not knowing which way to go, or which direction to fully invest his soul to, he finds himself conflicted with his life. He goes with his heart because at the end of the day, he finds out what is truly important to him.
Even though I do agree that the right thing to do was what Huck did, and that is protect Jim, but in reality, it was not practical. I disagree that he did the right thing, at least when it comes to putting his interests in mind and in really deciding what would be best for him as a person. He put himself at risk, he put his life at risk, and he put at risk the lives of those closest to him. During the times that he was living, it would have been impractical for him to choose the way he did.
Exercise 6.6B: Another Last Chapter
Huck will decide to continue on his adventure to really find out what lies ahead for him. To go back to the Widow and to his friends, would mean to go back to the life that he ran away from in the first place. It would not be like Huck to continue his life the way it was after going through all the adventures and all the experiences that he went through with Jim. He risked his life, he put everything at risk because he did not believe in what he was raised to think, and in order to fully appreciate everything, Huck would continue on an adventure until he found a place elsewhere, far away from his home, to settle down and live the life that he had always wanted to live.
I do not really practice any superstitions, but sometimes I do like to pick lucky numbers or act superstitious with my friends just for fun. I think the media influences people in strange ways: we all see so many things in the media -- we think this is how people really are -- violent or sexy or vulgar or good or perfect or happy. But the media is a liar. Very
Nevertheless, anything that causes a character that is associated with some emotions, exclusive fear, and anxiety must be real. Since superstition does not manifest as madness or abnormality, it however can influence emotional effects. Mad people will behave weirdly because they are experiencing certain "real situations" in "their worlds" that we normal people cannot understand or visualize. To these people, these are real situations. Connecting this perspective with superstition, similar
Does that mean that I think babies are being haunted by ghosts when they cry for no apparent reason? No, but the superstition does put you in mind of the thought that we should have respect for the spiritual world. The Chinese words for spirit and breath are similar, which keeps one in mind of the fact that life is filled with the spirit, just as the body is
However, she admits the likelihood that her grief and distraction had prevented her from tending with the proper attention to her garden. She denotes that though she is not entirely certain that she believes the superstition applies in practical reality, she tends to communicate her feelings to her plants on a regular basis now. She feels a greater emotional connection to them now as she strives to keep her
Stealing Rocks From Paradise: Pele and Her Vengeance The Hawaiian Islands are home to a diverse population. Much of this population comes from Polynesian roots, and culturally, there exist many different forms of religious and superstitious ideas that permeate modern Hawaiian culture. One of these superstitions surrounds the ancient Polynesian goddess of fire and lava Pele. It is said that if a person steals a lava rock from the island that
The Aztecs believed 13 to be a sacred number. The Aztec week was thirteen days long and the number was respected as a measure of time and completion (Number 13, 2010). The Aztec calendar year was 260 days long, which was calculated as 20, thirteen day periods, called Trecenas. The goddess Tlazolteotl was the ruler of the 13th Trecena, who was the goddess of sin and could forgive sins
