Recommended: Fraternity lifestyle

The ‘folk group’ that we can see in the film is the ’82 Phi Delta Theta fraternity members. All of the members in that fraternity are sharing at least one common factor. For example, all of them are students that are decided to be Greek. As a folk group, they also shared similarities by accepting the tradition of the house and support this particular fraternity. They members of this fraternity define themselves through their brotherhood under the symbol of the ‘salamander’. As we can see in the film, they had a banner with their house symbols and a picture of green salamander—this is one of the unique things of their house compared to others. As we can see from the beginning of the film, the brothers of the Phi Delta Theta would capture salamanders

    Osage Indians were organized into cosmological principles that defined the dimensions pertaining to the universe. The houses were arranged on each side of the main road to symbolize the underworld and the sky above. In the center of the village, two leaders resided along with the people who were assigned as sky or earth people. The population was split into five groups, referred to as bands. Each band had its own village, maintained by religious leaders called “Little Old Men”. Men and women had to marry outside of their clan and outside of their

  • Cannery Row Analysis

    1341 Words  | 3 Pages

    After everyone heard the news that my family came back home, they all planned to visit and settle with a feast. It is similar to how the members in Cannery Row heard the news about Doc’s birthday party. What really surprises me is that everyone knew each other. Whether one decides to visit another home in the community, the people would easily recognize the family one is from. The fact that everyone lived next to each other reminded me of the trip to Cannery Row. Overall, I can definitely see the close knit community in my mother’s hometown and during the trip to Cannery Row. Having a phalanx may allow the individuals to work together, despite the different backgrounds of the individual. Without a close-knit community, everyone would be distant and not know each other, unlike in Cannery Row.

    Native American music has many different musical styles. Within every Native American tribe there is a variety of musical styles and instruments. In response to the research that I have conducted, there are three main musical styles that are going to be my point of focus. The Sioux Grass Dance, the Zuni Lullaby, and the Iroquois Quiver Dance are the principal methods which contribute to Native American music.

  • Wakiash and the First Totem Pole

    This story shows all the aspects of Native American religious and social beliefs. Firstly, the aspect of the "circle of life", which is probably the most important part of Native American religion, is not directly mentioned in the story. I have come to the conclusion, after much reflection to symbolism in the that the "animals with their skin off" that look like humans, are probably dead people who were reincarnated as animals, or were somehow spiritually connected to each other through the earth and the environment. Other than that, the Circle of Life is not an important part of "Wikiash and the First Totem Pole".

  • Informative Speech On The Lochness Monster

    823 Words  | 2 Pages

    When people think of the word “monster,” their thoughts go straight to the scary mortals that frightened us as children. Whether it was the monster under our bed, the creature that hid in our closets, or the strange man that sat outside our windows watching our every move, we have all had a similar experience. People never give the culture behind that particular monster a second thought. They do not know that there is so much more to a monster than just fangs, claws, scary masks, etc. There is a culture behind each and everyone of them. By knowing and understanding who and how this monster exists, you learn about the culture that brought this monster to life. You learn about the monster's body and all the feelings it incorporates. I am going to be talking about a monster that caught my attention and that not many people are informed about, and that is the Lochness Monster.

  • Savages In Brave New World

    363 Words  | 1 Pages

    The metaphor in this quote is used to view the characters as being monsters and unusual creatures. In this quotation, presented in the book Brave New World, the dancers are described as being a ghastly troop of monsters. They are viewed as being more inhumane rather than humane because of the way they are acting; the movement of their bodies and the masks they wear on their face. The use of the metaphor focuses more on the monster-like qualities, rather than the human qualities to help emphasize the way the characters are acting comparing them to monsters without using the terms “like” or “as”. This is interesting because to me, the “Savages” are considered the normal people, but to the people from the World State, they are labeled as “Savages”

  • Group Observation Paper

    I thought this would be a good way to show that even if you're an athlete or classified as any other group it doesn't necessarily mean that's how everyone acts. Now within this group of athletes, it seems to be important to them just to be there and have fun. Yes they all work hard, but they also choose to not stress about sports or even school. Characteristics shared within the group are similar to the other group of athletes that I described such as name brand clothes or shoes. Some members though also interact with the rednecks so they sometimes wear different clothing items. This group of athletes though doesn't worry about having to be a with their group members at certain events, or being in the same classes. Also, when sitting in class I'd hear them talking about almost anything. Something that I heard in particular one day was, “Did you just see that bottle flip?” Everyone seems to be relatively close friends within the group so there's no need for a leader or even

  • Student 2 Reflection

    358 Words  | 1 Pages

    A group that was a significant part of my high school identity was Student 2 Student, the drug and alcohol-free club at Glenbrook South. The club’s goal was to create a safe and comfortable environment in which students can abstain from the use of drugs and alcohol while connecting with other people who share the same beliefs as them. Through Student 2 Student, I was able to meet others from GBS that I would have never met, and I was fortunate enough to become acquainted with some of the most supportive people in my life. A social club, Student 2 Student survived because of the familial atmosphere that was created within it. There was a bond shared between the leaders and members, allowing everyone to have fun while making healthy decisions
