Mid-summer of 1996 in Kennewick, Washington, two men stumbled upon an ancient human skeleton in the Columbian River. What seemed to be a miraculous discovery soon turned into an incessant and relentless battle over the ownership of the remains. “Multiple claimants asset[ed] ownership” of this skeleton, named the “Kennewick Man”: the Native Americans of Washington, Pacific Islanders, and even people of Norse descent of Ireland and Scotland. The debacle of whether the thousand-year-old skeleton should remain under scientific custody or return to its “native homeland” to be buried was debated in federal court for several years. The whole process of the Kennewick Man’s discovery opened important questions: Who is the Kennewick Man and why is he so important?
A moose hunter in Alaska spotted two hikers, worryingly trying to grab his attention. They pointed him out to a bus in the woods. Stumbling closer revealed the body of a young man. That body was Chris McCandless, who set out into the wilderness a few months before.

In this weeks reading in Keller, I learned that integrity is of the utmost importance in the work place. In chapter eleven there is a example of a man sacrificing integrity for more wages at a new company he is interviewing at. In the example, Howard (the man who received the interview) lies about his yearly amount he makes at his current job so that the new company he is interviewing for will offer more money than he makes right now. His justification for the lie was that at his current job he has two more weeks vacation. He added the pay he would get from those two weeks into the salary and he told the new company that amount instead of the real one.

She was found guilty of murder and they gave her the death sentenced, but the judge overruled it so she got life in prison. It has been 46 years since the murder of the Manson family.
The Civil War was America’s bloodiest war. Soldiers were not only dying from battle itself, but from the daily practices the military had in place. Medical care and response was lacking organization resulting in many preventable deaths. In 1862 this all changed with the appointment of Medical Director Jonathan Letterman, who focused on how soldiers were being treated both on and off the battlefield. Jonathan Letterman was crucial to the Union’s victory because he advanced civil war medicine and made it more accessible hence why his gravestone describes a man “who brought order and efficiency into the Medical Service and who was the originator of modern methods of medical organization in armies" (Arlington National Cemetery).

I would define brand as a company’s name, logo, and product that a company has and represents. Branding is the act of promoting a company and/or a company’s product through the form of advertising by using media outlets and different events to reach a wide audience. In the article, “LeBron James’ Business Plan Not Operating Within “Established Parameters,” it shows a great example of a brand such as when LeBron James stopped just wanting to endorse brands, but own the brands because he is a brand himself. LeBron James has recently ended his endorsement deal with McDonalds to invest in an upstart pizza chain. Instead of LeBron James just playing basketball and endorsing brands for other companies, he realized that he is a brand and since he

Helen Keller’s quoted, “No pessimist ever discovered the secret of stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.” Erik Weihenmayer, has changed the definition of accomplishment to a higher degree. Weihenmayer has been the first blind person to climb to the top of Mount Everest. Erik is able to achieve anything he dreams.
Hellen Keller once said that, “Although the worlds is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.” In Hellen Keller’s autobiography, The Story of My Life, she wrote about her experiences with learning as a person who was both blind and deaf. In this passage taken from her book, she described her transformation from a child who fought fervently against learning, to an individual who yearned to understand and describe the world around her. Keller presented her shift in the passaged as one that altered her perspective of every aspect of her life, and awakened a sense of happiness and fulfillment within her.
