Totem Poles A totem pole is a well-known native artifact that was used by the Native Indians. Coastal Indians used giant cedar trees for carving totem poles. Totem poles were used for telling stories about a family, a clan or a person’s history. Therefore, totem poles were very similar to storybooks. Totem poles are very important to me because I enjoy the fact that they were used for telling the history of a family, a clan or a person, which taught younger generations the traditions of a family
Native American Shaming When I say the words ‘totem pole’ what comes to mind? Do you picture big, tall poles reaching high into the sky with scary looking faces carved into them? Well that’s only half of the story behind the totem poles. The Native American culture expresses shame in various ways. The Native Americans were shamed in boarding schools, they shamed various other people with totem poles, and they feel shame with alcoholism. Boarding schools drained the minds and culture out of the

Squirrel: I choose to put a squirrel on the top of my totem pole because it is often a message that we should take life a little less seriously and enjoy yourself more. This is often the case with me. I take life a little too seriously and forget to have fun. I get really worked up before and after tests. If I get a substandard mark, I am often too hard on myself. To put this into perspective, the results of one junior high test right now will not decide my future. Overreacting in a pessimistic
Theme Essay If a seven year old read Animal Farm he/she would have thought that it is a sad story about a farm in England. If an older person reads it however, he/she realizes that this story has much more meaning to it. The story is filled with themes that help us understand the world around us. In this essay I am going to talk about four themes that Orwell discussed in this story. They are power, totemism, coercion, and violence. Power leads to absolute power, the job of totemism is to keep
Humanity of the Primitive in Heart of Darkness, Dialect of Modernism and Totem and Taboo The ways in which a society might define itself are almost always negative ways. "We are not X." A society cannot exist in a vacuum; for it to be distinct it must be able to define itself in terms of the other groups around it. These definitions must necessarily take place at points of cultural contact, the places at which two societies come together and arrive at some stalemate of coexistence. For European
meters out. We used survey poles - 3 meters apart - making sure they were vertical. At each survey pole we took a trowel and measured the depth of the beach. We did this by digging until we met the clay and then noted down our results as we got them. Whilst measuring the depth of the beach we also did the angle. We obtained the results by using a clinometer. To use the clinometer we lined it up against a line of the first pole and pointed it towards the second pole, using the sights to line
The Thickness of Nichrome Wire And Its Effect on Its Resistance Introduction A current is the flow of negative electrons around a circuit. Electrons get pushed out of the negative pole of the cell and drift slowly round the circuit, from atom to atom in the wire, to the positive pole of the cell. A current flowing in one direction like this is called direct current. (d.c.) A cell pushes these electrons around a circuit. It acts as an electric pump. Different cells provide electrons
have done. The length affected the period as stated above and I think this will happen again in this experiment. I looked at a clock with a pendulum to see how it worked. I found that to change the speed of a second you adjust the length of the pole which the pendulum hangs from, so I also based my prediction on that as it is the same principle. I set up a trial experiment to test out the following: * Which angle of displacement to use (e.g. 90°) * How many readings to take * Which
E.B. White's Once More to the Lake "Once More to the Lake", by E.B. White was an essay in which a father struggles to find himself. The essay is about a little boy and his father. They go to a lake where the father had been in his childhood years. The father looks back at those years and tries to relive the moments through his son's eyes. He knows he can't, and has difficulty dealing with the fact that he can't go back in time. E.B. White's way of letting the reader know that the father
more than 30,000 men, in Israel alone, had already been crucified. It all started by this guy named Ormazd from Persia. He thought that the earth was sacred, so he did not want to defile the earth by killing criminals on it so he put them on a large pole and left them there to die. After Pilate gave the order to crucify Christ the soldiers took him. The part of their wickedness was not the act of crucifying Christ, it was by what they did to Jesus before they crucified him. The scripture says in

The tow-truck that had hit him looked as though it had run into a telephone pole. Traffic had ceased on the six-lane road, and a large crowd had gathered. However, no one was by my side to help. "Get me some blankets from that motel!" I yelled to a bystander and three people immediately fled. I was in charge. The patient was no

the picture below. The dip net pole can be compared to a lever of class 1 and the lever principle can be applied, similar to the applet at http://www.walter-fendt.de/ph11e/lever.htm.� As stated in the applet from the Contemporary College Physics Simulation Library a lever is in balance if the total left side torque is equal to the total right side torque.� Applying that statement to the picture above the person must apply a much greater force on the pole in order to maintain torque equilibrium
for the BB gun, Ralphie and friends are typical kids. Each day from school they run away from a bully, Scott Farkus, a kid with “yellow eyes.” They even go as far as “triple dog daring” one of their best friends to stick his tongue to a frozen flag pole.

unto me, “Michael, you don’t want to go to college, stay here and you shall have bestowed upon your unworthy head all which you need to know. Here, fill up my coffee cup.” With his words still echoing in my mind, I wanted to sprint down the hallway, pole-vault over the cubicle prisons, hurdle the water ration cooler, and dive through the double-paned sliding glass doors. This spectacular display of athletic ability would have been terrific, but the ball and chain still shackled to my ankles would have

ATV’s were first “work” vehicles for telephone and electrical linemen and other types of people. They used the ATV’s to get from one pole to another that went over difficult terrain where 4x4 trucks could not go. (Estrem ATV’s 10) Second, you do not need a special permit or driver’s license to drive a ATV although special training is recommend by several manufacturers and some even give
