"The Wild Horses of Assateague Island" & "Wild Ponies of Chincoteague" & "In Thunder and Rain, Chincoteague Ponies Make Annual Swim" Opener In this poem, I am going to show you more about the ponies by the illustrations. For example, in "The Wild Horses of Assateague Island" the illustration of the herd of horses on the beach shows that the horses were survivors of a shipwreck off the Virginia Coast. Another example in "Wild Ponies of Chincoteague" the illustration of the people on the boats and the horses in the water shows that the people who were actually the 'Saltwater Cowboys ' were rounding up the horses who were actually not horses and were ponies. Another example in "Wild Ponies of Chincoteague" the illustration of the people watching the ponies while the ponies were walking shows that the ponies were walking to go somewhere.

In 1864, after being given whiskey by two Franklin settlers one young Indian from Chief Washakie’s tribe tried to run over Franklin settler Mary Ann Alder with his horse. During the event, one other settler shot the Indian and had to leave in order to alert the Minutemen in Cache Valley. In order to pacify the Indians several Franklin settlers, including Bishop Lorenzo Hill Hatch, Peter Maughan and Ezra T. Benson of Logan, spent the night at the Indian camp with Chief Washakie discussing what took place. As payment the settlers who had sold the Indians the whiskey were to give flour, cheese, other food items, and two yokes of oxen to the Indians. Overall these events and the treaty, not only enabled the Franklin settlement to expand, but it also enabled other settlements to expand outside of their fort boundaries, encouraged more settlers to the area ,and promoted the use of local natural resources and the expansion of new industries for the
"I think that Chris McCandless was bright and ignorant at the same time. He had no common sense, and he had no business going to Alaska with his Romantic silliness. He made a lot of mistakes based on ignorance. I don’t admire him at all for his courage nor his noble ideas. Really, I think he was just plain crazy."

There are many different stories as of to where he achieved this name from, but nobody truly knows how he came to be known as the one and only Crazy Horse.
In his novel Fools Crow, James Welch depicts the historical conflict in ideals and territory between the native Pikuni tribes and the Napikwans, or whites, in the Montana plains. Through perspectives of different members of the Lone Eaters and their personal progression, Welch presents the dichotomy of acting for the good of the community versus acting for personal gain and wealth. No narratives more accurately describe this internal struggle than the ones provided through Fools Crow’s and Fast Horse’s experiences. Since both start from the same relatively low status, each of their trajectories through the novel explicitly show how different
As the son of a Comanche chief and a white captive by the name of Cynthia Ann Parker, Quanah Parker rose from the status of a Comanche warrior to their tribal leader. Although not much is known about Parker’s personal life and early years, he plays a vital role in William T. Hagan’s book “Quanah Parker, Comanche Chief”. In this book, Hagan identifies the Comanche Chief through his upbringing to his death, describing his transactions with local Indian agents, presidents, high officials in Washington and the cattlemen of the western United States territory. The author presents the Indian chief as a “cultural broker” between the cultures of the white southerners and his tribal members, presenting a blend of beliefs that are heralded as progressive and traditional as he maintained the control and organization of his tribe. During a period of transition for the Comanche people,
Throughout history, great men and women have been willing to die for a cause they believed in. Society often holds these people up as heroes, role models to be celebrated by the following generations. In his novel Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer makes the argument that Chris McCandless deserves to recognized as one of these heroes. Into the Wild tells the story of Chris’s life and ultimately his death in the Alaskan frontier, following him from his disappearance after college graduation to the eventual discovery of his remains two years later. Although Krakauer portrays Chris as a noble young man on an inspirational quest, in reality Chris’s journey reveals an out-of-touch young man who naively followed the ideals of his favorite authors.

The “Iron Horse” also known as the “Transcontinental Railroad” has started to take effect on the Sioux Native Americans. Taking a look at the effects, they look more on the unfavorable side. Not only do the Sioux live in an undeterminable world for themselves, they also don’t know what this giant “horse” really is and does.

The Mistaken Adventure In the nonfictional novel, “Into the Wild,” by Jon Krakauer asserts the claim that Chris McCandless’ death should not be considered as suicidal, reckless, or idiotic, but should portray a sense of braveness, heroic, and noble. The author portrays this assertion by retracing Chris’ journey. He noted character witnesses that claimed to have met Chris on his journey, traced back to his family background, and compared his personal life to McCandless’ in order for the reader to compare and contrast the two together. McCandless small time decisions in the long run proved fatal, but it was an innocent mistake that anyone could have made.
There are a multitude of scenes in the book that didn't make it into the movie. Some of these scenes were the most exciting scene in the book and other scenes really were ok to take out due to the amount of time the movie could be. A scene which was in the book but not the movie was where Ponyboy and Johnny jumped off the train into a field of grass to get to their hideout. Also in the scene Johnny hurt his knee a little and had to take a break before they continued to walk to their hideout. Another scene which was not in the movie was the scene where Ponyboy asked a tractor driver where the old Church was located.
