Wampanoag Indian Memory Analysis
I would like to first start off by saying HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY, Uncle Mike! I have been given the wonderful opportunity to share a memory that I have had with you. With Thanksgiving being right around the corner, it brings a flashback to the 2014 Thanksgiving play when you gave me an important role as a key member of the Wampanoag Indian tribe. Unfortunately, my acting career ended there, but I can say I made an everlasting memory. Thank you for including me in all of the holiday festivities and making me feel apart of the Brady tribe.

    When we hear the word “Culture” every person thinks about different things. Some people might think about an ethnic dance or traditional clothes, or something totally different, like importance of the family or values of ancestors. Every culture is unique. We won't be able to truly understand different cultures, until we spend a relatively long time living deeply drowned in it. However, only living in the culture won't help people to solve issues brought by different backgrounds, understanding the culture is a main goal. The only way that people will be able to reach it - is through communication.…

    Those that live in America and those that live in India have different lifestyles and traditions, but when you have to balance both, it’s difficult to figure out who you truly are. Gogol grows up throughout the book with a Hindu-Indian family while living in America. He confronts the challenge of assimilating while trying to pursue two cultures. As he gets older, he then tries to find his identity by changing his name from Gogol to Nikhil and starts different relationships. But Gogol then realized that what has held him and his family together has been the Indian culture, which has influenced him from the moment he was born and named. In the novel The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri, Gogol was influenced greatly by the Indian culture because it motivated…

    The southeast Indians were a interesting group with many different and unique ways of life in this explanation I will tell you about their daily life. The southeast Indians wore clothing made of deerskin, fur, and porcupine quills; the men's clothing was a mix of a deerskin jacket and deerskin pant, and the women wore shawl/poncho and a dress, the men also occasionally wore a headdress. You can see their clothing depicted on all of the people in the exhibit, their clothing was important to them because it distinguished were they were from and what tribe they were in.

    Although most immigrant groups experienced the same labor injustices such as long hours, unsafe working conditions, unfair pay, and unequal pay, the challenges of the labor market divided most cultural groups rather than uniting them. In Hawaii, as described by Ronald Takaki in his article, A Larger Memory: A History of Our Diversity with Voices, Japanese and Filipinos working on sugar plantations protested together in an effort to combat the injustices they faced. The plantations even developed a means of communication between all the races working on the plantation called “pidgin English”. Although this was successful in Hawaii, where the labor market was slightly less competitive than the mainland United States, tensions between immigrants…

    Hammramck Memories

    Hamtramck is a place of memories. Truthfully speaking, Hamtramck seemed boring to me. I moved here two years ago, and I absolutely hated it. I came from a very populated and walking-distance state; New York. Coming from such a place to a smaller one was a huge change. Immaturely, I’d compare everything. “Why don’t people ever walk?” and “New York is so much better.” Personally, looking back, my reasonings to hate Hamtramck didn’t make sense. I never went out or did anything, so I guess making up unrealistic reasonings to hate this place justified the new change in my own eyes. It was like that for roughly two months, up until I began attending Highschool.…

    History and memory does generate compelling and unexpected insights, and this is explicitly conveyed and explored in the Smithsonian website created by the American government, as well as in How to Tell a True War Story by Tim O’Brien. History is the compilation of events and peoples perspective in events, all meshed up into a montage to create a definitive account of events. Both texts demonstrate the fact that history and memory are directly linked, and memories of history are perceptions tainted an emotional aspect. Ultimately history and memory are conveyed as existing in an intrinsic relationship that compose both collective and individual experiences.…

    When it comes to America’s history, I believe there is much to be said that often is left out. Much of this I can reference back to a class that I was fortunate enough to take at Rutgers as a junior, Politics and Culture. The class had a very interesting aspect, which concerned historical memory. Historical memory can be defined as state sponsored collective memory. In order to understand this concept it is important to first understand the concept of collective memory. Collective memory is the emotional quality that is given to past events. It is not so much history based on fact, but instead how a certain society remembers their history. Essentially historical memory is a collection of narratives about the past that state-sponsored elites turn into non-negotiable facts, such as the way Loewe critiques the textbooks provided to students. These students then in turn take what the professor teaches and the textbook preaches at face value as absolute fact, essentially eradicating the possibility for negotiation and debate.…

    Memory makes us who we are. According to How Human Memory Works, most people talk about their memory like a thing they have, but memory doesn’t exist like your body does. It’s more like a concept that refers to the process of remembering. Many scientists and researchers compare the human memory as a filing cabinet with memory folders or a supercomputer in the past, but now people say that the average human memory is a much more complex system; memory is said to be a brain-wide process, not just in a single part. A complex structure a single memory seems to be, because of the different parts. Think about an apple. You probably thought about the colors an apple can be, that an apple is a fruit, even how you eat an apple. Although there are many components of what you thought was a single memory, you probably won’t recognize where the different parts your apple memories are coming from, only the apple as a whole. Even scientists are only on square one with figuring out how the brain brings all the memories together into one whole mental image, graph, or chart.…

    The Persistence of Memory was created by Salvador Dalí in Spain in 1931, this painting's medium is oil on canvas. The time of the picture might be in the morning or late afternoon, because the horizon line and cliff are yellow. The scene in this picture is kind of dark. We see the black color at the bottom and middle area of the picture, those dark areas seem like the shadow on the sandy beach. The beach goes all the way to the water, which might be a sea. At the upper right hand side of the picture, there are some rocky cliffs, like the mountain. The rocky cliff also goes into the water. There is blue sky above the horizon, the sea, and the cliff. At the lower left hand side of the picture, there is a platform that looks like a case. On the…
