Tracey Lindberg’s novel Birdie is narratively constructed in a contorting and poetic manner yet illustrates the seriousness of violence experience by Indigenous females. The novel is about a young Cree woman Bernice Meetoos (Birdie) recalling her devasting past and visionary journey to places she has lived and the search for home and family. Lindberg captures Bernice’s internal therapeutic journey to recover from childhood traumas of incest, sexual abuse, and social dysfunctions. She also presents Bernice’s self-determination to achieve a standard of good health and well-being. The narrative presents Bernice for the most part lying in bed and reflecting on her dark life in the form of dreams.
Impacts of Plastics on Laysan Albatross Located across the Pacific Ocean is a seabird known as the Laysan Albatross. These large birds glide gently over large distances with little to no wingbeats a day. They generally appear around the sandy beaches of the Hawaiian Islands. They have large heads with long, thin wings while showing off a vibrant white color across the body with dark circles around the eyes. These seabirds eat during the night by sitting on the water and catching smaller prey with their bills.
One of the theoretical perspectives I found in the movie was symbolic interactionism. I found about how they interact between the T-Birds and the Pink Ladies, and one of them was during a pep rally event. When Sandy was in the Rydell cheer team, she was encouraged by a girl was obsessed to school spirit. Then the Pink Ladies decided to reunite with Danny and Sandy, but Sandy ran away after Danny’s behavior since he wanted to protect his affiliation with the T-Birds. Ultimately, Danny’s behavior against Sandy was an example of symbolic interactionism since it was basically groups by gender – male or female, and shoed of how the T- Birds and the Pink Ladies interacted during that part of the movie.
Parrothead or Parrot Head is a commonly used nickname for fans of Jimmy Buffett. Origin of the Term "Parrot Head" The term Parrothead was coined during a Jimmy Buffett concert at the Timberwolf Ampitheater outside Cincinnati, Ohio. At that show, Jimmy commented about everyone wearing Hawaiian shirts and parrot hats who keep coming back to see his shows, just like Deadheads. Timothy B. Schmit, a current member of the Coral Reefer Band and a former member of both Poco and The Eagles, coined the term "Parrothead".
Thinking back to when I read "To Kill a Mockingbird", I now recall striking comparisons between Maya Angelou 's autobiography and Harper Lee 's fictional novel. While reading "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings", I drew more connections between the two very different books. Matthew has already pointed out the similar theme of racism, but I think there could be more similarities between the characters. Even though Maya Angelou and Jean "Scout" Finch were of different nationalities, both girls suffered due to their imaginative nature and physical appearances. Maya and Scout have compassionate older brothers (Bailey Johnson Jr. and Jeremy "Jem" Finch), a loving parent (Annie "Momma" Henderson and Atticus Finch), and the two girls live in a
“When you teach your son you are teaching your son’s son.” Imagine not being allowed to eat your dinner because your alcoholic dad decided to stay at the bar all day, and not fitting in at school. This is how it is for Manuel (Manny) Hernandez the main character and narrator, of the novel Parrot In The Oven by Victor Martinez. I can relate to Manny’s narrative because of his struggles with fitting in and his dad getting arrested, but I can not relate to having an alcoholic dad.
One of this week’s readings focused on Ch. 5, “Caged Birds,” in Professor Lytle Hernandez’s book City of Inmates: Conquest, Rebellion, and the Rise of Human Caging in Los Angeles, 1771-1965, and this chapter was particularly interesting because it further explained the development of immigration control in the United States. As a continuation from the last chapter, there was a huge emphasis in the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the Geary Act of 1892. This essentially prohibited Chinese laborers from immigrating to the United States, as well as eventually requiring these people to comply with regulations. “Caged Birds” encapsulates the events afterwards, as the book heads well into the early-1900’s. The disenfranchisement of immigrants develops towards further exclusivity because “[by] 1917, Congress had banned all Asian immigration to the Unites States and also categorically prohibited all prostitutes, convicts, anarchists, epileptics, ‘lunatics,’ ‘
In the essay “the plastic pink flamingo: A natural history, Jennifer price reveals the popularity of the flamingo in america as the generation evolves from the bleak events of the past. This iconic 1950’s lawn decorative represented a culture filled with ignorance and vain. Throughout her essay, Jennifer Price uses tone, satire, and symbolism to create an insightful analysis on her view of the American culture as they are too absorbed with material goods and their pride. Emphasizing the ignorant attitude of America, Price begins the essay with a critical tone describing the importance of flamingos. She adds to her claims of boldness that “it was also a flamingo” and “was pink” italicizing part of the sentence’s end to demonstrate America's
The passenger pigeon or wild pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) is an extinct species of pigeon that was endemic to North America. Its common name is derived from the French word passager, meaning "passing by", due to the migratory habits of the species. The scientific name also refers to its migratory characteristics. The morphologically similar mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) was long thought to be its closest relative, and the two were at times confused, but genetic analysis has shown that the genus Patagioenas is more closely related to it than the Zenaida doves.

During the time of segregation, a woman went to the Court Square to catch a bus to go home. In her autobiography, “from Rosa Parks: My Story”, Rosa Parks describes the the time when she refused to give up her seat to a white man. She was riding the Cleveland Avenue bus in Montgomery, Alabama when the incident occurred. Rosa Parks’ experience is most similar to both a free bird’s and a caged bird’s, because of the way she felt, acted, and viewed herself.
