Summary Of Alaskan Fisherman's Plane
An Alaskan fisherman’s plane is downed by mysterious engine failure during a routine flight back from the secluded lakes of northeastern Alaska.

As he is nearing his wits end, he finds what was believed to be a long-lost village of the Tlingit tribe, which is still home to only a single remaining member. The tribesman explains the apparitions as the spirits of lost travelers who were drawn to the Alaskan Triangle by the being known as Kush-taka. These

    A Fool's Drug Analysis

    Tim experiences “A moral freeze: [he] couldn't decide, couldn't act, [he] couldn't comport [himself] with even a pretense of modest human dignity. All [he] could do was cry”. At this point his imagination takes over when he visualizes “[his] parents calling to him from the far shoreline. … All [his] aunts and uncles were there, and Abraham Lincoln, and Saint George…”(). His imagination provides the final push needed to make the leap of faith into the water, and over to Canada. However, as quickly as it helps him, it also drives him to turn back when he imagines “villagers with terrible burns, little kids without arms or legs… a slim young man [he] would one day kill with a hand grenade along a red clay trail outside the village of My Khe”. These powerful images result in tim being unable to jump from the boat, and forced to accept his future.

    A River Runs Through It

    Fly fishing is not what this story is all about, although it might seem so at first. Neither is it about religion, even though the father's first line is: "In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing." Yes, these two things are themes that run through the story and add to its power. But there is so much more. It depicts a place of beauty, history, myth, and mystery, it is a triangle of earth in Montana where the writer grew up. And it captures a space of time in the not-so-distant past with a sensitivity that is both witty and poetic. Robert Redford loved this story and turned it into a handsome movie. Read it yourself or watch the movie, and you will learn something about fly fishing, but you will learn more about the wonders of nature and the strengths and frailties of man. Author Maclean was truly a man of words—well chosen words!…

    In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

    Released in 1998, In The Aeroplane Over The Sea has since gained a cult following from members of the indie music community. Revolving around the story of Anne Frank’s life, the album’s dense lyricism and lo-fi instrumentation attracted little attention upon release, but with the advent of the internet, the album’s popularity exploded. The singer and songwriter of the band, Jeff Mangum, wrote the songs over a 5 year period between 1993 and 1998. Some time during 1997, he read the Diary Of Anne Frank, and it heavily influenced his songwriting from that point on, becoming the focus of the final movement of the song Oh Comely, the opening track King Of Carrot Flowers Pt. 1, and the title track In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. The unprecedented success…

    A Community’s People, Places, and Conflicts: Alexie’s View of the Spokane Reservation

    In The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, Sherman Alexie tells the stories of a Native American culture trying to fit into the modern world. These stories primarily focus on the conflicts that exist within his community for various reasons, including broken personal and family relationships, fistfights, arguments, destruction of property, lack of money, and youth versus elderly perspectives on life. Several of the conflicts in these stories are escalated through the use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs. While Sherman Alexie’s collection of short stories can be read for entertainment, it can also be used to understand the community that Alexie grew up in. By looking at the characters, places, and conflicts of the Spokane Indian Reservation, as seen in Alexie’s stories, one can see that this community has its struggles and times where it drifts apart, but the heroes and traditions will bring the people of the community together in times of trial and times of separation.…
