Eagle Two Eyes She Dove Analysis
OUTCAST

Eagle Two Eyes Sheltered himself the best he could for the night within a hilly out crop, covered with branches and a buffalo skin. He didn't attempt to make a fire, but this decision had more to do with shame than survival.

Being driven thus far, he could still see the small puffs of smoke from the chimenys of the wigwums in the distant mountain valley; and this made him colder than he really was.
He thinks of his beginnings....

A young apache boy of unbounding energy, darts among the steaming cooking pots being stirred by the women of the camp.
He's chasing the wild dogs, who reciprocate the chase. The women swat at them both as they would pestering flies. Their admonishments go unheeded.

"x... Go to your teepee, I will tell your mother you are bad"

The little dogs also stop, awaiting the chase to resume.

He gives a loud war hoop, he'd learned from the war dances, and resumes his play. The women mumble a curse and continue at their cooking chores.

He would play this way all day if allowed. But his father is returning from a hunt with his band, and calls out the boy's name.
He ladens the child's shoulders with a pole of freshly killed racoons, and orders him to the family teepee. The other hunters dispersed to their own wigwams, grateful of a successful hunt.
Little Eagle Two Eyes knows by the animation of the warriors that a celebration would be held that night. He carries the kill with pride, as his father trails behind watching the child's gait as he happily struggles under the weight of his burden.
He imagines him being a great chief someday.

' He is strong and large for his age. What's more he is inteligent.'

The women says something to the father as he and son pass, but he smiles knowingly and continues on to their teepee at the edge of the

    The problem with education in America over the past two hundred years stems its close relationship to brain wash citizens. The American school system has been teaching students one-sided views of history sometimes often complete lies. I was recently read the book Lakota Woman which is a well written memoir by Mary Brave Bird, formerly Mary Crow Dog, a Sicangu Lakota Native American. She discusses the Trail of Treaties in 1972, and how Native culture has been forcefully taken and replaced by Eurocentric Views. She discusses being separated from her family and sent to a boarding school taught by nuns who didn’t allow her to speak her native language for months on end, and then being punished and beat for expressing her personal views. I think…

    To Build A Fire

    London vehemently describes the man’s ignorance in choosing to travel through such conditions; it was the man’s first winter in the foreign land and he was severely underprepared for the harsh troubles that the Territory presented. Once the man had created his first successful fire, he foolishly left it behind in his pursuit of the far-off camp that sang his name like a siren, and despite multiple warnings from more seasoned travelers, the man had decided to go it alone save for the presence of a native husky. The husky knew how to survive in such a dangerous land, for “its instinct told it a truer tale than was told to the man by the man’s judgment” (London 125). The animal’s countenance was unshakably depressed because it “knew it was no time for travelling” (London 125). When the first fire had been created, the dog “yearned back towards the fire” for it knew very well what real cold felt like due to its ancestry (London 128). While the man was living and able to provide food and fire, the husky trailed along dutifully, but when the man had died in the snow the husky had to leave. There was nothing more that the dead man could for the husky, so he left the traveler to seek out the camp that had “food providers and fire providers” (London…

    The imagery of the short “The Birds,” by Daphne du Maurier, illustrates that how nature is more powerful than man. Nat is currently burying the birds he killed from last night’s attack, then he sees something shocking, “Then he saw them. The gulls. Out there riding the seas. What he thought at first to be whitecaps of the waves were gulls. Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands …” (59). The hoard of birds coming towards Nat is showing how the birds united together to form a group to go against man. They’re working together to overpower man and united in a common mission. Nat and his family are hiding out in their boarded up house as Nat thinks about the birds, “He knew them of old, the herring gulls. They had no brains. The black-birds…
