Starting on page 68,the Temple of Tilantongo appears once again, but this time its followed by the image of 8-Deer on the day 5-House. He is dressed with his military jaguar suit, standing on the top of the Mountain of the Petate. On the next image we see 12-Movement standing on the Mountain of 52 Sticks, on the day 6-Lizard. Just like 8-Deer, 12-Movement also wears a warrior suit, as if they seem to be ready for a battle. Both brothers are joined by two other men, one who stands on the Mountain of the Three Gold Rings, known as 2-Monkey. The other man stands on a lake wearing the death mask. On the following page, 8-Deer goes to the Mountain of the Temple to make an offering of chocolate. In front of 8-Deer, a jaguar and an eagle are fighting …show more content…

I’m not sure if both brothers were conquering the mountain together or if 8-Deer was the one that killed his brother. On page 76b, there are many images of men, who hold their weapons and face 8-Deer. They aren’t kneeling, so they could be against 8-Deer or they could either be part of his alliance. In the middle of page 79, 8-Deer meets with 4-Jaguar, on the Temple of Red and Gold. He then continues to collaborate with 3-Monkey. On page 80, 8-Deer visits the god of the sun, which appears to be 4-Jaguar, on the day 6-Jaguar.
8-Deer send someone to kill his brother. On the bottom right hand corner of page 80, we see the murder of 12-Movement inside of a sweat bath. They then cremate the body of 12-Movement and for the first year, people make him offerings. After his brothers murder, on page 83 we see how 8-Deer goes on a vengeance to kill 6-Monkey and her kids, except for the youngest child. On the last page of the Codex there is a sacrifice. This page has fewer colors, than the rest of the pages. This could be that it was never quite finished or someone different added that last part of the story as a side

In Annie Dillard’s, The Deer at Providencia, two clear examples of suffering are illustrated while four people take a journey through the Ecuadorian Jungle. The reader is able to see a deer tied to a tree and a man who is in critical condition after being burnt for the second time. The author makes it clear to the reader the suffering is not the fault of the one suffering but merely a result of accident and other people’s actions. While hiking through the jungle, four North Americans come across a village that is going about their day to day lives; however, at the forefront of the village is a deer roped to a tree waiting to die for the village to be able to eat.

The author Mary Roach shares her knowledge of the dead in the book “Stiff, The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers”. Roach is both the narrator and character in the book. We discover that she struggles with the choice of whether and how to leave her body to science. The book is gross, graphic, and somewhat humorous as it provides medical and scientific information on the dead and how their bodies are used for science, medical research, and other studies. ​Mary Roach divided the book into twelve chapters.

The poem “Deer Hit” had many themes, but there was only one central theme. The central theme is that you make your own decisions. An example is in line one where the narrator says “You’re seventeen and tunnel vison drunk, swerving you father’s Fairland wagon home.” This represents the theme because the narrator made his own decision to get drunk and to drive, now whatever consequences happen to him is solely his own fault. Another example is in line 9, “Glitter and crunch of broken glass in your lap, deer hair drifting like dust.”

It was 1965 and the first U.S. troops were landing in South Vietnam, there were 3,500 U.S. Marines added to the already 25,000 advisers in the country. This war would define how we view life for decades and generations. Most people thought it was a mistaken war with no purpose other than to stop the flow of communism in Asia and the fear of others would follow, and add to the strength of the Soviet Union during the height of the cold war. Some people turned the war into a racist battle ground to justify the uprising and protest against the war. The troops were poorly armed and on average fought 240 days a year when compared to WW2 with only 40 days a year for infantrymen.

In 1955, America stepped foot into Vietnam for what they thought was war, but in reality, was a slaughtering of the lambs. Nick Turse unearths the true realities (and horrors) of what actually occurred during the years in Vietnam in his book “Kill Anything That Moves: The Real American War in Vietnam”. Naturally, this book unfolds not only the politics and racial tensions between American soldiers and Vietnamese revolutionaries, but it also eradicates the glorious misconceptions of the morally upright man. Turse begins the book with the chilling re-telling of the massacre at Trieu Ai.

During the Vietnam War, there were 2 American college students shot walking to class by a national guard.

Young Mountain I presume is also a young Hidatsa Indian and was best friends with Three Legs. On page 126, Goes First died due to a bullet went through his heart, but on page 122, in multiple lines that Bobtail Wolf had sang too many medicine songs for his brother which Three Legs and Black Shield tried to warn him, he did not. I think that the medicine song is an equivalent to a prayer. As a way to ask for protection and to keep safe, but when Bobtail kept saying a prayer over and over again, I just knew that something was going to happen to his brother, Goes First. It just screams ‘Goes First will die and or be injured really badly’.

One of the best days of my life was when we went deer hunting in South Dakota with my dad, brother, uncle and two cousins, but before I tell you about my trip let me tell you how it started. We left early in the morning to head to South Dakota where my cousin Jacob, who had just got a job as Game warden in Custer State Park, was taking us deer hunting. We got as far as Fargo, North Dakota when my cousin Keith asked my dad where our license were. Then to our surprise we forgot them back at home. We were lucky enough to have my two aunts and mom bring us the license because they were going to Fargo that day anyways for a girls shopping day.
