The Mormon Pioneers The definition of a pioneer is one who goes before to prepare or open up the way for others to follow. The Mormon pioneers were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who migrated across the United States from the Midwest to the Salt Lake Valley in what is today the U.S. state of Utah. The movement of the Mormon pioneers was due to the founding of the mormon religion which began not long before their migration with a man named Joseph Smith on April

In the novel, “O Pioneers!”, the character Alexandra Bergson ties to the author, Willa Cather. When Cather wrote this story, she used a lot of her own characteristics to develop Alexandra. In the story, Alexandra learns that Realistic, Romantic, and Naturalistic views exist throughout everything one might go through in life, very similar to what Cather most likely experienced. Cather’s three philosophies on life go along with the topics of Realistic, Romantic, and Naturalistic. I personally think

Among the three philosophies of life: Realism, Romanticism, and Naturalism, people tend to believe in one more strongly than others. After reading Willa Cather’s “O Pioneers!” and the poem she named the book after, “Pioneers! O Pioneers!”, I have come to the conclusion that she had more of a Romantic outlook. Some may say that because many of the events in her book were Naturalistic she had a Naturalistic outlook, and while I understand where this thought stems from, I have to disagree. Although

Human beings: wonderful creatures who must rely on others from time to time, and occasionally become overconfident in their abilities. In Walden; Or, Life in the Woods, Thoreau encourages self-reliance by articulating the benefits. Thoreau’s experiences influenced Chris McCandless, whose untimely death in Alaska inspired the book and movie Into the Wild. The book and movie about McCandless in turn drove others to become overconfident in their abilities to try to live in the wild, which led to dangerous

Pioneer Perseverance The Pioneers persevered even when things were difficult. Perseverance is when someone or something continues doing something difficult. The Mormon pioneers had to travel west because they were persecuted. They had no other choice. The persecutors would hurt and kill people that believed in the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints. The travel West was dangerous. There were many blizzards that could take lives. In the winter animals would hide from the cold. The pioneers

In the book “O Pioneers!” Willa Cather discusses her views on the three philosophies of life. She makes it clear as to which one she personally adheres, from a Realistic, Romantic and Naturalistic view of the world. Cather uses many circumstances of each type of philosophy. Willa uses Romanticism lots of times in her story. For instance, in Part 4, Chapter 7-8 after Frank kills Marie and Emil, Cather says, “two white butterflies from Frank's alfalfa-field were fluttering in and out among the interlacing

Abstract Pioneers help shape the way individuals reflect and perform. Pioneers impact the association's society and thusly the long haul adequacy of the association. Pioneers and supervisors set the connection inside an association that maintains brilliance and the capability to cooperate to attain hierarchical objectives.

After reading and rereading both versions of Walt Whitman’s poem, “Pioneers! O pioneers!”, I noticed that the 1891 version compared to the 1867 version seems a little more “laid back” so to speak. In other words, the stanzas are somewhat more constricted in the 1867 version and that makes me wonder why Walt Whitman even decided to have different versions of the poem. I mean, based on the photos of the printed versions, the pages look different overall, which might mean that the pages were smaller

As the Aboriginal man was approaching the usual scenery, he had a look on his face that resembled the look of dullness watching as the water drops fall swiftly onto the moss-covered rocks. As he walked further into the rainforest and closer to the other side, he heard his feet crunching on the sticks and leaves. He walked with caution careful not to step anywhere unsafe. The loud birds echoing their loud chirp throughout the trees leaving him tense as he concentrated on walking towards the light

Through the years of 1750 to 1901, the journey of thousands of humans sailed out overseas. With many decisions, they all experienced something different, from those who were forced to leave, had to leave or chose to leave. The voyage of slaves, convicts and free settlers differed immensely, yet, they still had slight similarities. Kidnapped and forced into slavery, that was the early stages of becoming a slave. They were forced on to the ships then chained and bounded to each other as they sat,

The story that I had presented for my oral presentation in Task 1 is ‘Boys and Girls’ is a by Alice Munro. This simple short story is about a young girl’s resistance to womanhood in a society infested with gender roles and stereotypes but have to accept the gender stereotyping in the end of the story. The story takes place in the 1940s on a fox farm outside of Jubilee, Ontario. The relevant theories of literary criticisms that can be applied to the ‘Boys and Girls’ short story are historical criticism

Pioneers in Nebraska faced many difficulties in the nineteenth century. The living conditions were not always ideal, but they always survived because of their love for the prairie. Many pioneers came to Nebraska with hardly any money. Many pioneer families had many children. Their food came from their crops and gardens. Sometimes droughts in Nebraska made it very difficult to feed their families and still have some left over to sell. Which was difficult because this is how they earned a living. Most

Perseverance is shown in the nonfiction stories, A Book Writing Venture by Kim Yong Ik, The Pioneer Women by Fabiola Cabeza de Baca, and They Called Her Moses by Ann Petry. In A Book Writing Venture, Kim Yong Ik wished to write and publish a fiction book in his third language.

In O Pioneers there were three important relationships to the progression of the story, those are the relationships between Alexandra and Carl, and Marie with both Frank and Emil. There were many different things which held each relationship back and not one of them was completely smooth sailing. The relationship between Frank and Marie failed due to Frank’s lack of love for Marie and his melancholy behavior, that paired with Marie’s infidelity crashed their relationship straight into the ground

Hardships of the Westward Expansion and the Dangers for the Pioneers In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson began the westward expansion with the Louisiana Purchase. This action practically doubled the size of the nation. Thomas Jefferson thought that westward expansion was “the key to our nation’s health.” In 1843 a huge westward migration started, the people who made the long journey west were called ‘pioneers.’ The pioneers traveled west on long roads, or trails, such as the Oregon Trail, or California
