In Tim O’Brien’s “The Lives of the Dead”, no one can die; everyone can live on in stories. This short story is about how to keep people alive through stories. In the war Tim has to cope with an abundance of death; this reminds him of Linda, his first love’s death. The guys in war with Tim would pretend the people never died telling jokes about the people who have died both the dead north Vietnamese and their fallen comrades.
Stumbling over to the window, I lean there, sucking in the humid night air. I have to hold myself up on the window ledge, my legs are shivering so bad. I can’t stop seeing her, those eyes watching me even after her face is gone. I can’t do this! Can’t do this anymore!
She greeted us at the door with milk and cookies. Then we started to talk and get to know each other and then I realized that she was going to be my best friend. She started speaking
Give her my compliments. Ask her if that goddam waiter gave her my message, willya? Why don't you go home, Mac? How old are you, anyway? Eighty-six.
All I heard was the sound of water lapping underneath. It was dead quiet. “Alani.” I turned towards her, but I couldn’t stand, they had me strapped down to a metal chair, with cuffs on the arms. “Where does your memory stop.”
She has gray hair. She limps towards the strip. Lydia and Keric openly laugh at her. Lydia picks up the electrical cord that registers the points I score. She clips me in because she knows this part gives me trouble.
I’ve seen her before at the Study Center. Her name is Elizabeth and she has blue eyes and brown hair. She is kind, but shy. We don’t talk much at first, but then we start to talk about her parents’ jobs. They both have rare jobs; her dad is a scientist and her mom is an artist.
Critiquing “Modern Cannibals of the Wild” by Basil Johnston Indigenous struggles have been ignored throughout Canadian history for centuries. They have lost their sacred land, human rights, and communities. Johnston effectively portrays these struggles by putting us in the shoes of Indigenous peoples and reflecting on the damage we have caused to them, whereas Rice directly conveys his message without the same vibrance. Due to the above, Johnston effectively uses stylistic elements to address the negative impact of human greed and environmental exploitation, surpassing the limited impact of similar stylistic elements of Rice’s essay which primarily focuses on personal experiences and lacks the exploration of broader societal issues.
The nights were swift and lonely, as she dexterously tried to rob me of my heart. She had been in my life for too long, and I knew it was bound to come to this. I could hear her banging the keys on her piano. They were the notes to the song “Oh Danny Boy” which was appropriate for the time. The memories soon began to flash back into my head.
It’s odd, but normal for her. “Great, you’re finally up, princess.” She snarls. “What are you wanting now, madam?” I ask, trying to sound polite
The presence of cannibals in Native American tribes is debatable; their descendants claim it is a myth, nonetheless factual data was discovered to oppose that. Archaeologists identified “butchered human bones, stone cutting tools stained with human blood, a ceramic cooking pot holding residues of human tissues, and finally the most telling evidence found in the actual human feces: traces of digested human muscle and protein” (Wilford). This solid proof was discovered from the site of an ancient Anasazi settlement in southwestern Colorado. The researchers think that this proof dates back to A.D. 900 to 1150 but as these traces are fairly rare, it is most likely that these instances occurred in times of desperation among the community, like starvation. This evidence almost certainly proves cannibalism amongst the Anasazi and yet only proves it to be within this tribe.
I love like I never have before. I crave her—all I want is to hold her in my arms and tell her to continue her brave fight. One day I will see her face to face, whatever it takes. We write each other letters and at four years old her fire for life shines like a candle in the darkness. I am inspired by her, for "she is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh without fear of the future."
When the Indigenous People are mentioned, many think of the way they would dress or the languages they spoke; however, it is not common to think of whether or not these people were cannibals. The rumor of cannibalism has dogged Native American tribes since their first encounters with Europeans. But the essential facts have been shrouded in mystery. A close examination of the historical records shows a pattern of competing narratives that mixes both the most virulent racist stereotype with concrete fact, but all of which has been distorted by history and political agenda. Though it is not a highly discussed subject, there are myths arguing that certain Native American tribes were human flesh-eaters, yet the evidence to enforce these hypotheses
They also ate the things they loved when they died as a token of love and would not let the body rot between worms, ie, they were eaten by Emor. Pathological cannibalism concerns the psychopath cannibalism as we saw in the movie Silence of the Lambs. Finally, we have the current cannibalism which are rare cases but, experts agree that are very similar to those of the tribal groups, and indissolubly linked to Satanism and to group rituals, rather than the practices of
