The Medicine Bag Short Story
Embarrassed, unsure, minimal food, without a clue. These are all things that play a part in both rites of passage. The medicine bag rite of passage is about a boy named Martin that las a Lakota grandpa that's time is coming to an end yet he still needs to pass down the tradition. The Apache girl rite of passage is about a girl that has to go through an intense process to get to her success of being a woman 0f her tribe.

    Personal Narrative: The ER Waiting Room

    The ER waiting room smelled stale. Sick babies and toddlers were crying, waiting to see a doctor. My brother was laying on the tan tiled hospital floor. He was shaking terribly as the antibiotics from the previous hospital wore off and the infection set in more. Both of his hands were red and swollen. His right hand, had a black mark from where the IV initially infected. His left hand was swollen to the size of a small balloon, kind of like a blown up rubber glove I used to get from the doctor when I was younger. My mom took her jacket off to cover him. His skin was hot to the touch but he was still freezing. His fever was 101.2 but there were no open rooms in the ER at our second attempt at a hospital. We had to get him antibiotics…

    Difference Between Cherokee And Lakota Rite Of Passage

    The Lakota rite of passage and the Apache rite of passage are both similar and different in the ways that they show what the rite of passage that the children went through. The rites of passage are different because the Lakota rite of passage is more of a mental rite of passage and the Apache rite of passage is more of a physical rite of passage. The Lakota rite of passage for Martin was more of a mental rite of passage because Martin had to deal with the fact that his grandfather was going to pass away some day and that he had to take the responsibility of taking the medicine bag and passing it on. The Apache rite of passage is more of a physical rite of passage for Dachina because she had to go through more physical challenges such as dancing…

    Lakota: Religious Traditions, Oral Stories

    There are seven sacred rites the Lakota abide by. These rites came to the Lakota people through the White Buffalo Calf Pipe. The sacred pipe has been passed down from generation to generation. Only those with the intentions to do good may handle the pipe and hold the knowledge regarding how to use it properly. A holy spirit brought the pipe to the Lakota people in the hopes of peace and spirituality. Lakota people today pray for the spirit who brought the pipe asking her to watch over their loved ones, feeding them and providing shelter (Dooling, 2002).…

    Summary: The Douglas Bag

    During exercise the demand for oxygen increases as the respiring cells require more oxygen to meet the increased demand for energy, there’s also an increased removal of carbon dioxide, (Burton, Stokes, & Hall, 2004). Carbon dioxide is a by-product of aerobic respiration (as well as water and heat). In this experiment Douglas bags were used to collect expired gas to be used for analytical purposes. Douglas bags enable readings of both carbon dioxide and oxygen to be taken with the use of a Servomex Analyser, as well as total gas content using a dry gas meter and pump. The analysis of these results can be used to determine the gross efficiency of an athlete, Douglas bags are used as a gold-standard approach due to their high reliability (Gregson…

    Narrative Essay On Sick Soldiers

    Sickness hangs heavy in the air with the stench of death. Soldiers walk by me in tattered clothes, some missing shoes and toes. As I lay on the ground of my hut, trying to sleep, that another poor soldier had to build, I shiver and huddle in a ball to try to keep my body heat toward me in an attempt to keep me somewhat warm. The Continental Army made our winter camp in a town called Valley Forge, located eighteen miles out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. During the winters of 1777 and 1778, there was freezing weather and a couple thousand of sick soldiers and dead soldiers (Busch, 147). Many soldiers are not re-enlisting or are deserting before their nine-month re-enlistment has ended which I would never participate in due to loyalty and honor. General Washington, desperate to keep an army together to fight the war against Britain has asked us soldiers look…

    A White Pill: A Short Story

    I used to wonder why we had to take a white pill every morning. The government forces us to have them. To make sure we are taking the pills, they made it illegal to skip your daily doses. They will charge you $500 for one day, and my mother always thought that was too extreme. I miss my mother. They say she died in a car crash, but I'm not sure if I believe that story. I'm suspicious about it because of how my mother acted before she passed. She used to say she could hear voices and see people, and when my father and I would look, we would see nothing. My father asked his coworkers if they have experienced anything like this, and they suggested to report her to the City Hall just fora checkup. My mother went, and on the way home she got in…
