The Yellow Cow Franz Marc Essay

Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony is a multidimensional novel full of Laguna symbols and themes that are easily overlooked in a casual reading. Like many of the elements in this work, Josiah's spotted cattle can be interpreted in multiple ways: as cultural metaphors, spiritual representation, and racial mixing. Silko's depiction of the spotted cattle creates a strong metaphor that links them closely to the Lagunas, illustrating the animosity the Laguna tribe has with the white Americans.

We decided met with the other charachter groups and mad deals with both Charles and Perpetune. We would give Charles 3 cows in exchange for ⅓ of his land to own.

Although my Frederick did get exactly what my character group came up with, apparently some of the other Fredericks were more creative in their deal making.

The entire last four passages are examples the author uses to argue the reader's ideas, “dogs give barks indicating surprise, pleasure and all other emotions. Cows will bellow for days when mourning their dead.” These are examples not only prove the author's points that animals and humans share similar experiences but it also mentions “superhuman animal” traits.

Not only does the seller receive good fortune from his trades, but distributes his good fortune by slaughtering sheep and cattle and giving some meat to the poor and the rest to the figure (388).

Their lives were spent dwelling in caves and tending to their herds of sheep. Odysseus wanted to bargain with these creatures, since in his previous stops he’s had multiple supporters who assisted him along the journey. But Odysseus clearly did not expect voluntary assistance from such a rowdy beast, so he decides to bring his finest wine. He states, “I had a goatskin full of that sweet liquor that Euanthes’ son, Maron, had given me… he gave me seven shining golden talents, a solid silver winebowl, and then this liquor-twelve two-handled jars of brandy, pure and fiery” (Homer 137-138, 142-145). This wine was so powerful that one cupful had to have been diluted throughout twenty cupfuls of water (Homer 148-149).

So how was I supposed to make people want to listen to me, I knew I had to make them feel what I felt when I was doing all my research. Thankfully I had such wonderful teachers to help me along the way offering me many techniques and strategies to pull my audience in. I wants was such an unconfident writer and speaker but at this moment in time I wanted to make a difference about something I was truly so passionate about.

First, it uses Pathos, which is an emotional appeal to the audience, when it states that drinking milk will give you results. These results are portrayed as helping you transform into leaner, thus attractive, build more muscle, thus stronger, and be more decisive, thus more successful. Second, it uses Logos, which is the reasoning part of the argument, when it states that if you eat right, exercise, and drink three glasses of milk a day instead of sugary drinks, then you will be lean and build muscle.

The phrase “tend to” helps to make this statement more logical by eliminating the absolute and permitting their statement to not be true in some instances.

In the United States, during the eighteen-hundreds’, a small group of people believed that slavery was immoral and did many things to abolish it. John Brown, a Caucasian male who was part of this group of people, did two things that many people in United States history didn’t have the passion to do. John Brown’s life was very interesting: His early life and transition to adulthood, his decision to fight for the cause, his actions of violence in Kansas and Harper’s Ferry, along with, the long-lasting effects of these actions led to his hanging. These events were pivotal to the beginning of the Civil War. “John Brown was born in Torrington, Connecticut, on May 9, 1800, five months after the death of George Washington”(Marrin,7).
