I believe historians should left behind the question of how many indigenous people were living in the American continent before Columbus arrival, after all professionals on the subject are not able to reach an agreement after “more than a century debating the question” debating; according to The unfinished Nation document. This not because to know the populations number is not important, but because there are many other interesting question were they can focus their attention. For example if they can study the way that indigenous people were able to manage their natural environment on their favor in such a large scale like the Amazon forest, as stated in chapter 1 of US: A Narrative History by James West. Understanding this management of resources will help us to determine in modern days how to explode our resources in a sustainable manner.

Remembering the Alamo through Master and Counter Narratives Introduction Throughout my education, I have learned about many historical events, heroes, and social issues within history. As I got older, I started to realize that many of my textbooks seemed to repeat the same stories. I decided to visit the Alamo museum in San Antonio, Texas, and take note of the master narratives and the counter narratives being represented in the museum about this significant event. Master Narrative
Although when she wrote this it did not connect to many reader but now that immigration is at its highest peak is is bound to be connected to many immigrants as well as Mexican-Americans. Anzaldua was frowned upon due to her lack of english, and they wanted to obliterate her native language which was spanish. Now, many believe that english is the language all should know, but in reality it's not. A person's native language is a language that should stay with them forever. This native language is what makes them who they are, it helps develop
It reverberated through the hallways and classrooms of the high school like a primeval monosyllabic chant. Everyone asked it so much that it soon became the newest catchphrase. Forget about “Bazinga”; Move over “Yada Yada Yada .” Even the classic pickup line, “What’s your sign?”, trembles at the mere mention of it. Make room for the king of all mantras.
This critical reflective narrative utilises Mattingly and Fleming’s (1994) three track reasoning model which is made up of procedural, interactive and conditional reasoning narrative reasoning was later added to this model (Unsworth, 2011) cited in Duncan (2011) and this has also been utilised. I have made use of this model to describe, analyse and explore a critical incident from my professional practice within my reflective narrative account. Bannigan and Moores, (2009) maintain that the use of this model enables the development of personal reasoning, thinking and creative problem solving skills. John’s (2009) model of reflection has also been used to guide my thinking and provide structure throughout this reflective process. In addition
What I noticed when I watched the Seahawks two games against the Bengals, and the Panthers were that the opposing teams must have found a weakness in the Seahawks defense through film of their inability to cover good tight ends. Against the Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert had eight receptions 90 yards two touchdowns. Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen had seven catches 131 yards one touchdown which was the game winning touchdown that beat the Seahawks couple weeks ago. What the Bengals, and Panthers seemed to do was throw at strong side safety Kam Chancellor who's not really known to for his coverage skills. These tight ends were able to run good crisp routes that put Chancellor in bad positions to be able to cover them.
In 2008 I was living a fairy tale. I relocated from Indiana to Georgia. Within a year I had 5 credit cards and new home and car. I got engaged to my middle school sweetheart. We purchased our first house which my father prepared my for ever since I was 18 years old.
From the time I was born I have been surrounded by sports. My dad tells me that while my mother was giving birth he was watching the Major League Baseball all star game and she made him turn it off. My middle name is Brenden, named after the now retired hall-of-famer, left wing, Brendan Shanahan. I can remember being in love with sports for all my life. For birthday parties when I was younger I would have all of my friends come over and we would play pick up baseball games.
I have lived in four different states, seven different towns, and nine different houses. I have attended a number of different schools, and have had many friends and acquaintances throughout my life. Many people have never moved before in their life, or at least have lived in one town for their entire lives. Moving around so much might seem difficult for some, but ever since I was born I had been moving place to place, so I never had any trouble with it. Most of my childhood was spent in Washington, where I grew up with my parents and two older brothers.
An event that transitioned me from being a child to moving up into adulthood would be when I got my first job. I say this because now I get to make my own money and spend it how I want to spend it. Before, I always needed to ask my parents for money so I can go to places I wanted to go but after getting a job it showed me that now I needed to work, and earn, my paycheck rather than it just being given to me. When I began earning money it gave me a slight perspective of how my parents had to earn their money to get things they wanted along with my other siblings and me. When I had my own spending money I immediately wanted to begin paying for my wants and needs, just to experience what it was like having that sort of responsibility.
