This gold originally belonged to the dwarves, but Smaug the dragon had stolen it, so they went and took it back. This newly found greed was no good for the group as it caused trouble. The first time Thorin’s greed caused trouble was when he was captured by the Elves.…

Elder tribe members were very popular for telling stories. Children and adults would all gather around the fire to listen to these ancient stories (24), as shown in Figure 1…

The Hmong’s are perceived by some as unclean and barbaric. They appear to me to be very proud people, and people of great faith. They had different views and depended on the natural resources of the earth for their therapeutic healing, and to worship their GODS as they understood it to be. They did not want live in a modern civilization as we do here in America. Even during the time when this story took place….There is old sayings that how can you go back to something if you know nothing about it. They believe in their gods or higher power as we believe in ours. This again begins the diversity of how cultures exist in this day and age. What may appear as bizarre to another it’s a key principal to their kingdom which they believe that they will eventually end up in.…

Paul Chaat Smith once stated, "Only when we recognize that our own individual histories are a tumble of extraordinary contradictions, like those of all other Indian persons of this century, will we begin making sense of our lives (Smith 33)." Life is full of contradictions. No one ever truly knows what is true and what is false. Society is reliant on the stories passed on from generation to generation to understand what happened before them. Sometimes these stories can be true, other times they are false. This is what happened to the people of many Indian tribes. As stated in Paul Chaat Smith's article, Home of the Brave, several false books were written about the Indian people's history. These false writings are just one of many issues and struggles Indians have had to live with their entire lives.…
