Otto Kilcher's Alaska The Last Frontier
I have always been a big fan of Otto Kilcher, he is off the show Alaska The Last Frontier. Otto is a very funny guy and will try anything. Otto is my favorite person on T.V because he is very interesting. I met Otto at a store in Alaska, he asked me if I could read the label on a jar to see when it expires. After that he asked me if I wanted to see his homestead. So I decided to go to his homestead and we went in his old Dodge truck. After about a two hours we were on his homestead and you could see the ocean and there was lots of land.
Otto had a ton of animals he had horses, cows, chickens, goats, and turkeys. Otto also has a pet goose that follows him everywhere. Otto has a large amount of heavy equipment. He can run every piece of heavy

    The Klondike Gold Rush, also called the Yukon Gold Rush, the Alaska Gold Rush, the Alaska-Yukon Gold Rush and the Last Great Gold Rush, was a migration by an estimated 100,000 prospectors to the Klondike region of the Yukon in north-western Canada between 1896 and 1899. Gold was discovered there on August 16, 1896 and, when news reached Seattle and San Francisco the following year, it triggered a "stampede" of prospectors. The journey proved too hard for many, and only between 30,000 and 40,000 arrived. Some became wealthy, but the majority went in vain and only around 4,000 struck gold. The Klondike Gold Rush ended in 1899 after gold was discovered in Nome, prompting an exodus from the Klondike. It has been immortalized by photographs, books…

    The Crimean war played a huge factor in the selling of Alaska to the US. First of all, the Ottoman Empire, an empire that controlled many parts of the middle east except for Persia, gradually disintegrated after a largely prosperous and cultural time. Egypt and parts of the Balkans were slowly declaring independence from the Ottomans. Russia saw this disintegration time as an opportunity to advance its territory southward. However, the British saw this expansion as a threat, and if Russia took over parts of the Ottoman empire, it could take over India, a British territory, and the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. The French also wanted to restore its former glory under Napoleon II. Consequently, France and Britain declared war on Russia on March…

    A dystopia is a place where negative events constantly take place. Based on this information we can infer that a daring job, such as a miner, can seem like a dystopia. In the text “Klondike Gold Rush” , the author describes a plot of ambitious miners baring treacherous conditions only for a chance to strike fortune. From a conflicting viewpoint , the passage “A Woman Who Went to Alaska” by May Kellogg Sullivan shares a slightly different view, considering the miners got the pleasure of coming across a property of riches but only to have their riches stolen from their grasp by the government. Going over these excerpts I can gather the life of a miner was full of uncertainty, laws, and endless loss.…

    Northrop Frye’s concept in A Natural Perspective discusses a peculiar, yet often seen, occurrence within Shakespeare’s comedies, which is the alienation of minor characters. Typically, the minor character’s isolation is emphasized in the play by the prominent contrast of the other main character’s joy during a celebration, and Frye further explains how the audience should pay close attention to these characters by stating,“there is always a part of us that remains a spectator, detached and observant, aware of other nuances and values” (125). The alienated minor character adds a darker element to Shakespeare's comedies; and in Twelfth Night, the playwright uses Antonio to convey this theme by having him be excluded from the others. More specifically, Antonio’s exclusion is brought to the audience’s attention because he does not end up in a relationship by the end of the final act, unlike the majority of the characters. Due to his harmless infatuation with Sebastian, Antonio is unnecessarily alienated by the new world formed at the end of the play.…

    One of the best animals he used was a wolf. A wolf can be described as a wild carnivorous mammal of the dog family, living and hunting in packs. The author says. “All of the town’s big shots were there in their tuxedoes, wolfing down the buffet foods, drinking beer, and whiskey and smoking black cigars.” The narrator refers the big shots as the wolves. The wolves come in town preying on people that they fell that are lesser than them. They think they run everything. These wolves run in packs. Therefore, they only do their dirty acts together; they feed off each other negative feed.…

    When most of us that live in the United States especially those of us who live in the lower forty-eight things about Native Alaskans we think of the term Eskimos a term most of us learned about from watching movies that were made in Hollywood. This assumption, however, is most likely wrong due to a lack of education or cultural awareness on our part. The Native Alaskan people are divided into distinct cultures. These cultures speak eleven different languages with twenty-two separate dialects (Alaska Native Heritage Center, 2011). Many of us assume that the Native Alaskans and Native American share a common or at least similar culture but that can also not be further from the truth. The truth is that they historically…
