Seems as if the writer made this a hard situation but showing how the characters handle it, make it interesting.

Actual Meaning: Violet, turbulent, brawling women Thu, 06 Oct 2016 11:25:49 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61764?scroll_to=587732 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61764?scroll_to=587732 Inlet(Noun) My guess from context clues would be going in or an insight Actual Meaning:Indentation of shoreline; usually long and narrow Thu, 06 Oct 2016 11:23:18 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61764?scroll_to=587731 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61764?scroll_to=587731 The parallelism in the sentence shows a lot on Tom Walker and his Wife as the plot keep unfolds Thu, 06 Oct 2016 11:20:02 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61764?scroll_to=587730 https://nowcomment.com/documents/61764?scroll_to=587730 The imagery described from the author is beautiful scenery in the imagination side of it.

Thu, 06 Oct 2016 11:15:58 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59727?scroll_to=575314 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59727?scroll_to=575314 They differences between mainly all tribes is that usually they only consist of one main leader, who is passed down by dynasty. Here in the U.S we have re-elections and anybody can participate in this, only by following the rule of what the highlighted paragraphs says. There fore our Constitutions are different because they don't always rely one leader only. The similarity is that we all made a kind of Constitution for peace and freedom or protection for one another. With a Constitution we can all look back on, to remember or recognize or show how that tribe or country runs by.

Thu, 15 Sep 2016 12:25:01 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59727?scroll_to=575292 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59727?scroll_to=575292 I think the word disposition is a word used to offend someone, like their not included. Actual meaning: Out of position or misplaced. Thu, 15 Sep 2016 12:22:52 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59727?scroll_to=575285 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59727?scroll_to=575285 The word transacted. To me it sounds like it means its a synonym for return or replace by being used in the sentence with context clues. Actual Meaning: To carry or conduct of conclusion of settlement.

It seems as if the tree was only for a few people, is this true? Thu, 15 Sep 2016 12:17:03 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59725?scroll_to=567960 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59725?scroll_to=567960 This passage is about the understanding of creation from Native Tribe stories on how man and woman were created. Showing how everything in the story was involved and still is important to most tribes today. Wed, 07 Sep 2016 14:22:14 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59725?scroll_to=567959 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59725?scroll_to=567959 Throughout the story we learn many different gods or things used to help create new life. Wind can be a way of refreshment and understanding geography, maybe if you were one of the first tribes? Animals are relativity close to us scientifically showing that our bodies come from them. This probably puts a perspective to understand the Native Morals and beliefs on different animals. Wed, 07 Sep 2016 14:20:28 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59725?scroll_to=567958 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59725?scroll_to=567958 It makes the story seem a little sketch without mentions all of God bodies. Yellow Body was not included much in the story. Wed, 07 Sep 2016 14:16:39 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59725?scroll_to=567957 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59725?scroll_to=567957 I at least noticed they kept the story true by white ear for men and yellow for women. This probably why they dried in white and yellow cornmeal Wed, 07 Sep 2016 14:12:54 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59725?scroll_to=567952 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59725?scroll_to=567952 Like most students have probably said, How was the first women and men created? Weren't they created by other people, therefore those gods should be the first people? Wed, 07 Sep 2016 14:09:55 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59724?scroll_to=567946 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59724?scroll_to=567946 This story could be retold in many different ways, but with the same moral. To understand past mistake for the future, or to understand how culture like the small things, and how it can be super important. Valuing this means honoring the elders, pretty much Wed, 07 Sep 2016 13:58:35 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59724?scroll_to=567941 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59724?scroll_to=567941 I think the word brittle in this passage would be like fragile or maybe even small? Actual meaning Brittle: Having a sharp tense I think this is a right word for the passage because it helps understand the setting in the moment. Wed, 07 Sep 2016 13:52:33 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59724?scroll_to=567934 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59724?scroll_to=567934 The word cast according to the text may mean to spell or sent out? I conclude this with the sentence before and after. Actual meaning Cast: To throw or hurt Cast in this text meant to hurt someone for not honoring native tribal expectations, almost. Wed, 07 Sep 2016 13:47:22 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59724?scroll_to=567893 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59724?scroll_to=567893 I agree with Kaleb, this change in the story sounds like the start of a myth to Sasquatch or Bigfoot Wed, 07 Sep 2016 13:39:07 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59724?scroll_to=567889 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59724?scroll_to=567889 I like how there is now 2 interactions with Spirits, telling the story as if one owns one part of mother nature. This making it more realistic, from historic information. Wed, 07 Sep 2016 13:36:14 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59724?scroll_to=567885 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59724?scroll_to=567885 My questions for the passage so far is, How come only one Spirit God made all animals and earth? Do they believe in another spirit who told them how one Sky Spirit made this world? The story is actually pretty cool, I was just interested Wed, 07 Sep 2016 13:33:05 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59723?scroll_to=567870 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59723?scroll_to=567870 I would guess the consulted used in this text would mean discuss or argue? I only say this by re-reading the sentence showing that there was someone else involved Actual Meaning Consulted: To seek advice or information. I think in the story the women was asking for help immediately so she can survive from falling Wed, 07 Sep 2016 13:24:55 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59723?scroll_to=567859 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59723?scroll_to=567859 My guess on the words bared would be, honored or worshiped of some kind. I conclude this because of the sentence before, showing how great the tree is Actual meaning Bared: open to view, undisguised. The word Bared used in this paragraph is that he can see some of the roots of the tree and realized something. Wed, 07 Sep 2016 13:20:43 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59723?scroll_to=567843 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59723?scroll_to=567843 We know it's a natural thing for women to have cravings of some sort when she has her child. So, why was this tree there with many fruits? I find it almost offensive to put something in someone's eyes, that they desire to have but cannot touch or have? Was this suppose to teach a lesson or moral? Either way it shows how beautiful some things can be in the world, I guess we just have to look at things differently. Wed, 07 Sep 2016 13:14:33 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59723?scroll_to=567839 https://nowcomment.com/documents/59723?scroll_to=567839 In my mind this imagery reminds me of the "First people", referring to all native tribes. I can understand through the text how the native people felt seeing this new land Wed, 07 Sep 2016 13:08:25 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/57213?scroll_to=555744 https://nowcomment.com/documents/57213?scroll_to=555744 Citing quotes and referencing can be difficult and tedious but helps out a lot. Personally using quotes or phrases people have already come up with help make a point come across clear. While using this method people can be tired of flustered organizing and remembering where what cited quotes go where with what referencing. It's always good to have someone proof read your work, and make sure your referencing and citing is done right. As myself and most people follow, it's better to be safe than sorry; even if its taking the long route. Finally this avoids plagiarism by giving the author(s) credit for the work they did.

Examples of this type of plagiarism is just copying a text or passage already written and pasting it into a document for an assignment. It's to obvious, don't do it. Even if it's worth the bad grade, it'll save you grief later. Mon, 29 Aug 2016 21:22:21 -0400
