While these artists’ renditions of the Treaty Signing at Medicine Lodge Creek contain the same content, John Taylor and Howling Wolf's show very different views. I believe that the difference in views arose due to the fact that these two men had different cultural backgrounds from one another. John Taylor was a hired journalist while Howling Wolf was Native American. John Taylor's sketch has a very natural feel while Howling Wolf's is abstract. John Taylor’s illustration is more natural and realistic than representational because he was focusing on what he saw at the treaty signing, but his beliefs may have caused him to make the Native Americans look stern and no nonsense by creating micro facial expressions. While the European Americans
John Taylor’s work of art, Treaty Signing at Medicine Creek Lodge, may seem to be portraying very much alike affair, however, there are numerous differences from Howling Wolf’s work of genius, Treaty Signing at Medicine Creek Lodge. I believe that Taylor’s work tends to be more figurative as it represents the naturalistic of substance which can be distinguished clearly. Wolf’s art piece turned out to be more conceptual such that the objects expresses more on the non realistic. In addition, Taylor’s work can also be described as more of a sketch form possibly used by pen or pencil. On the other hand, Wolf's drawings are more of freedom of lines where it seems more of children's art work. The landscapes of these two are definitely differ from
It may take deeper analyzation to determine, but an agreement is being found between the two parties. This artwork is more abstract due to the fact that it is a ledger drawing that was made using pencil, crayon, and ink on paper. Ledger drawing is a native’s narrative drawing that is created using paper or cloth. The form also contributes to it being abstract. The coloring shapes and lines are all simplified. Wolf’s artwork also uses the convention called iconography. Tribal colors are used to differentiate the native groups along with red ceremonial paint on the part of the native women’s braids. These details are culturally significate to Wolf and other Native Americans with the same
Treaty Signing at Medicine Lodge Creek is the title given to two different renderings by two different artists. At first glance, it is immediately clear that the pictures are very different. The work of John Taylor is presented in a way that appears sophisticated and from a trained artist. On the other hand, Howling Wolf’s drawing is less sophisticated and the artist is apparently untrained in art.
Lindsay’s statement illustrates how racial formation greatly influenced the actions and mindset of the European-Americans and its effects on Native Americans. It reveals how disillusioned European-Americans were because of their belief of racial superiority and that it caused them to turn a blind-eye to the possibilities of peaceful coexistence with the Native people. The portrayal of Native Americans as savages shows how European-Americans used this to prove themselves as a higher race in the social hierarchy and to justify their entitlement to the land and resources that waited for them in the west.
John Taylor’s illustration for Leslie’s Illustrated Gazette is more naturalistic than representational because he was focusing on what he saw in the grove at the treaty signing but ethnocentric beliefs may have caused him to make the Native-Americans look hostile in their facial expressions, with their bow and arrows at hand. He also portrays them as non-descript so you
John Taylor's and Howling Wolf's depiction both represent what they saw in a representational form. However, Taylor's is more natural than Wolf's. The trees and grass in the background help create this. On the other hand, Wolf's art gives a better detail of the Native Americans. He includes the women that were at the ceremony as well as tribal colors and tipis.
In the “Address to William Henry Harrison”, Chief Tecumseh uses pathos and causal relationship to propose an offer to General William Henry, while in The Letter to President Pierce by Chief Seattle connotations are being used as well as pathos. Chief Tecumseh calls his audience to bring awareness on how the Spanish are wrongfully taking advantage of the natives and their property. The Spanish had previously succeeded the natives around 1800s in hopes of strengthening their realm. As Chief Tecumseh states, “You are continually driving the red people, when at last you will drive them into the great lake, where they can neither stand nor work.” (L. 14-15). Tecumseh uses emotional appeal to evoke pity towards the native americans in hopes of receiving help from General William. He also uses cause and effect to show
Henry Clay, known as “The Great Emancipator” and a tough political opponent versus Andrew Jackson in the 1832 election, made his opinion on Native American removal known in 1829 during his “State of the Union Address” (Biography.com Editors). Clay was in a position of great power, as he was one of the “first modern politician who had carefully create an image for himself”, which boosted his popularity in office, even against a famous opponent, such as Jackson. To convey his audience, he uses literary devices, such as logos, by comparing the Indians as a lower form of life. Despite his powerful position, he lost the electoral college 's presidential vote by a large margin, 219-49 (Courier). In Clay’s speech “On Native Americans,” where he addresses his plans of Indian removal west of the Mississippi, he uses ethos, logos, and others opinions to take a stand against Native Americans.
Through these neglections and stereotypes, two Chiefs, Seattle and Tecumseh, speak out for their people by using various forms of rhetoric. In Chief Seattle's speech, he makes a letter to President Franklin Pierce and any other Americans that play any parts in Parliament. The audience that the chief is reaching out to may have Manifest Destiny, belief that God approves of the U.S, as well as the belief that Indians are savages. Chief Seattle explains, however, that the Americans are the true savages because they can not hear the sound of nature in addition to having “no place to hear the leaves of springs or the rustle of the insect’s wings” (Seattle). Chief Seattle contrasts how unnatural the Americans are by saying that the sounds of nature are absent in the American lands. The author does this to show his intended audience who the true savages are in hopes of showing the Americans how the Indians view the American beliefs. Chief Tecumseh was another Chief who spoke out for his people, but used different tactics than Chief Seattle. In chief Tecumseh's speech, he makes a letter to General William Henry Harrison, rather than the President. The audience that Tecumseh is reaching out to may see the Indians as a threat rather than the Americans as superior. Chief Tecumseh explains, however, that the Americans are continually driving the red people, when at last you will drive them into the great lake [Lake Michigan], where they can neither stand nor work” (Tecumseh). Tecumseh
When the first colonists landed in the territories of the new world, they encountered a people and a culture that no European before them had ever seen. As the first of the settlers attempted to survive in a truly foreign part of the world, their written accounts would soon become popular with those curious of this “new” world, and those who already lived and survived in this seemingly inhospitable environment, Native American Indian. Through these personal accounts, the Native Indian soon became cemented in the American narrative, playing an important role in much of the literature of the era. As one would expect though, the representation of the Native Americans and their relationship with European Americans varies in the written works of the people of the time, with the defining difference in these works being the motives behind the writing. These differences and similarities can be seen in two similar works from two rather different authors, John Smith, and Mary Rowlandson.
William Golding kills off everything important to survival and by this he means that the world is doomed. So many significant objects are broken by the end of the book, The Lord of the Flies by William Golding, which is a novel about a bunch of inexperienced boys being trapped together on an island and are forced to find means of survival. There are a lot of symbols in this book that all represent the only way they can survive. Each symbol represents a piece of the world and how it functions. Without all of these pieces, the world can’t function. William Golding clearly shows that the world is doomed by one by one killing off all of the objects and symbols that keep them sane and alive.
The Howl and Big Sur are two excellent representations of people who lived alternatively, instead of conforming to society views and the materlistic lifestyle. The incredible creator of Howl, accurately demonstrated The Beat generation by displaying the destruction of the best minds. The destruction of the best minds were not teachers, lawyers, doctors or even nurses. However, the best minds that the reader were informed about were drug users, homeless people, as well as people who had mental health issues. Howl author viewed the lower class people as the best minds during the 1950s instead of stereotypical best mind, the middle class. Contrary to American mainstream, Howl showed defiance in the way he viewed America by highlighting druggies

Hey boys, have you ever heard “real men don’t cry” because I have. You see a boy with long hair or a high voice and immediately assume they are 1. Gay or 2. A wimp. But instead of spreading this expression to your children like a disease, how about you weigh the consequences of the words that comes out of your mouth. Men from the beginning of time have felt the need to be that mainly man with big muscles and a thirst to fight that hasn’t been quenched. This simply can’t be true, notice how the boy who are sensitive are generally happier your sadness and loneliness is not something to suppress until you finally spill over. I remember hearing this phrase as a tear rolls down the cheek of a boy whose pet just passed away. Men are not defined
