    A Summary Of Daniel Junior's Diary

    It was ridiculously hard to get married back in the 1700s but after years I met my beloved Abigail Gilbert at the age of 25 and we wed in 1772, it’s been history since. Months after our wedding I got the news that I was going to be a father of a boy and the name Daniel Junior came to mind, later in 1773 he was finally born. Years passed and I became father to more children including two beautiful girls. We eventually had to go down the road to Shutesbury in the west so I was able to join the militia there because I wasn’t able to stay as a member in the Brookfield Militia. Moving was hard but the outcome was great because after all my hard work in drilling I was known as Sergeant Daniel Shays and later on turned to Lieutenant Daniel Shays.…

    The Significance Of Junior In The Hero's Journey

    Contrary to what one may expect, Junior does not experience the hero's journey. Junior is never emerged in the special world, which is a large part of the hero’s journey cycle. He gets a break when he comes home because Junior knows the adventure will “be waiting for [him] in the morning at school," (Alexie, 70). Junior never concluded that pivotal part in the hero's journey by completely leaving the ordinary…

    An Analysis Of Junior's Hope

    At the beginning of the book, Junior believes that most of the hope and opportunity in Spokane and Rearden, rests with white people. We know that he believes this because of what he says on page 50 when he recalls playing rich, white Rearden teams in competitions, he says, “Those kids were magnificent. The knew everything. And they were beautiful. They were beautiful and smart. They were beautiful and smart and epic. They were filled with hope.” This quote confirms Junior’s original belief that the hope rests with white people. Also as a result of this, we can infer that he doesn’t think he is as good as white people, which might be why the teams from the Reservation (rez) always lose to the Rearden teams. The rez teams lose to the Rearden teams not because the Rearden kids are more athletic or smarter, but because the rez teams don’t think that they can win.…

    Part Time Indian Challenges

    Junior is accepting of the loss and depression that he is facing. On of the first loses in the book that Junior faces is his grandmother dying. “ My grandmother's last act on Earth was a call for forgiveness, love, and tolerance.” His grandmother was very positive and helps Junior through hard times and it was really difficult to see his grandmother die, but he didn’t give up but accepted what he was going through and stayed positive. The second biggest loss is when his sister died. “No,” Miss Warren said. “ Your sister, she’s dead.” Junior could easily become really depressed and not do anything but he accepts what happened to him and that is how he overcomes his losses and depression.…

    Diary Of A Part-Tame Indian Analysis

    One of the biggest differences between Junior and Rowdy is their attitudes towards school. Junior wanted to leave his school at the reservation and transfer to Rearden. Going to the school in his reservation upset Junior.

Juniors school was poor and they couldn't afford to buy new resources. Wellpinit was poor and Junior didnt got angry…

    The Sterile Cuckoo

    The story divides in four main parts. Nichols writes about two years in which Jerry Payne 's life changes, by the power of his first love, as Amazon puts it: "we see Jerry Payne, the protagonist, flourish into an outgoing, and then mature individual" (Amazon - #2). The first part is when Jerry is at an Oklahoma Bus Station, there he meets a very unusual and outgoing girl, her name, Pookie; he at the beginning as being a shy person feels somewhat intimidated by her, they take the same bus and sit together. On the road, they were talking for a long time and he becomes more comfortable with her. At one point of the road, they have to take separate ways so she asks him for his address and then he takes again the bus and continues his way thinking about these crazy little girl he have just known. The second part is when he is at college, his life at the fraternity house; but the most important of that part is when he finds her photo in a magazine, and decides to go with his friends to visit her. They arrive at her college making a noisy entrance, and after a little conflict and a breakfast, Jerry, his friends, Pookie and two friends of hers, go to a little road near a river, where Jerry and Pookie separate a while from the others. While they were alone, they talk about how have been their lives, at some…

    Personal Narrative: The National Junior Honor Society

    One day in seventh grade something wondrous occurred to me. At the end of the school day I was packing my belongings that I would need when I materialized at my house. Though while I was preoccupied, I espied something in my mailbox with my eyes suddenly. In matter of that fact, I decided to walk over to it. I slipped my hand through it and then grasped a letter. In result, my body very slowly went to my seat and I opened it. I couldn’t believe my eyes! I was accepted into the National Junior Honor Society. I was so thrilled that I was going ditzy with my adrenaline rising, at least in a fine way. I started cavorting up and down. My body could not stop jumping,vibrating with joy or talking about my news. So I told all of my friends in my class…

    Leaving a Legacy of Hope

    So many people when asked what it was that drew them to this field would tell me, “I go home every night feeling good about the work I do.” Though this is a genuine and relevant answer to the question, it is not mine. I have always said that it is the people that make this work so special. What makes the population of people that we work with so incredible is that they are not caught up with the everyday way of life that you and I are. It is that freedom from conventions which sets them apart. They are not as worried about the latest fads, trends or fashions. They are people shaped through the years of their lives, filled with experience and wonder that is hard to imagine, let alone understand. They are individual’s not so much worried about “What do you think about me?” as much as, "Do you love me?" Their character and convictions are steadfast, and though they may be hardened to change, their hearts remain soft and tenable. The following essay has been written for these people, with hopes that it would inspire even a single person to take an earnest look at Oregon’s current service models for Seniors and People with Disabilities, and to keep Oregon as a premier model in which other states can continue to look to. What legacy will we leave? What hope will we inspire? My objective is to utilize this essay to answer these questions.…
