The main character, Nathan, reminds me of my older brothers, Mike and Matt. They both love to hunt, big or small game animals. They always brought food to our table, as well as Nathan and his father take food to their families table. Anytime they shot and killed something they would always thank the good Lord. Before and after every meal they would tell their stories because they were just so grateful and happy they had one, gotten some food on the table, and two they had another awesome experience not everybody has. Nathan in some parts of the book was struggling to kill some animals. There will be the good and the bad days. But life goes on, you can always try the next day. Nathan never got discouraged by not seeing a deer, or seeing a leaf …show more content…
Which really reminds me of my brothers because they had a conversation about poundage while buying bows a little while back. In that compound bow chapter they also talk about drawing back the bow and scaring the whitetail …show more content…

It was not the first day of archery season, but just an ordinary Saturday morning and he wanted to go squirrel hunting, he had an alarm set for 5:30 but woke at 6:50. Very little time to get into our field and find a spot to sit, wait, and watch. He got out the at 7:15 right when the sun has arouse.

certain death that awaited, therefore making Nathan feel like a coward and therefore subjected to
Every time Nathan was present in the story I was immediately displeased and wanted him gone. His vulgar comments and actions anger the reader so much, and Kingsolver wanted that image to stay. She wanted the readers to hate him so they can sympathize with Orleanna and her daughters. If she included his narrations in the book, the reader could possibly see his “soft side,” and his anger. His frustration has to have a root somewhere (his horrific experience in the war), and with the exposure of his own thoughts and feelings, the reader would be able to witness them and have a new opinion of him. For the purpose of The Poisonwood Bible though, Nathan had to remain the antagonist and stay the “bad
Nathan’s source of guilt stems from his escape of the Bataan Death March. Nathan left the battle after being wounded, and right before the rest of his company died. Although he miraculously survived the horrific incident, he never got over the “suspicion of his own cowardice”. His guilt over his survival is greater than his sadness over the death of his unit, and as a result he considers himself forever indebted to the Lord; and as his punishment, he is tasked with converting as many people to Christianity, as he possibly can. Nathan viewed himself as a coward and therefore goes to extreme measures to spread the word of God and prove to “[God] that [he], is in fact not a weakling.” His uncontrollable need to prove himself to God, is much like
here once was a man who loved his country more than anything in the world. “ I wish to be useful, and every kind of service necessary to the public good becomes honorable by being necessary”. That man was Nathan Hale. Nathan Hale was born on June 6, 1755, in to a family of 12 children. His birthplace was Coventry, Connecticut. He was the middle child of Richard and Elizabeth Hale.

He also had three sisters named Elizabeth, Susannah, and Joana. He grew up as a normal boy healthy and
It wasn’t until Nathan started going to W.E. Waters when his views changed on his priorities. Being around his “own people” distracted him from seeing what his true goal in life was. Now, instead of focusing on his education, he instead focused on the latest trends and worried about fitting into the social scene believing that he “had to work on getting [his]

This writing by McPherson and Rabb is very intriguing. It goes into many different topics and is very informative. The first chapter as one would expect, sets the groundwork for the rest of the novel. It notes that it is the study of philosophy and not specifically on Aboriginal peoples themselves as they have been the object in observation a multitude of times. The statement of such is important to keep in mind throughout the reading to fully appreciate it. “One purpose of this book is to discover and tap that ancient wisdom, to make it accessible to everyone willing to approach it with the respect it deserves” (17) is a sentence extracted from the writings that shows what this piece of writing is about.
Alright for our first box we have key terms. You have nothing to write here, but can someone read the first key term to me? The teacher calls on a random student that has their hand raised. Government: a system used for running a city, state, or nation I love your reading, now can someone else explain what that means to them? Or maybe give me an example. The teacher calls on a student that has not had a chance. Well in the video it said that a school is like a government. THAT’S RIGHT! So here we are talking about how there is a system to keep everything running. It’s like a four-wheeler, if the engine doesn’t work than neither does the four-wheeler. Can someone else read our next question? The teacher calls on a student that has not had a chance to read. Leader: someone who inspires a group of people/ the one in charge. Thank you for reading that spectacularly. Now can anyone give me an example of a leader? The teacher calls on a student that has not had a chance to answer. Mrs. Holcombe, she is the leader in our classroom. I love that example! Alright this is the last one. Can
David A.J. Richards graduated from both Harvard College in 1966 and Harvard college of Law 1971. He received his Doctorate in moral Philosophy from Oxford University in 1970. After a three year experience with a firm in New York, he became and continues to be a teacher of both Constitutional law and criminal law. In New York University, Dr. Richards is the head of the Edwin D. Webb Professor of Law. Besides, Dr. Richards has written many books that credits him to be knowledgeable about politics, and law; for instance, Toleration and the Constitution, and Foundations of American Constitutionalism. The use of his book Conscience and the Constitution: History, and Theory, and Law of the Reconstruction Amendments, helps to interpret the actions
Nathan mentioned some small issues in her writing and one of these issues is when the student experiences something that they think of it as in appropriate or rude while it is actually fine. As Nathan mentioned, “there is an informality to the US. College classroom that some, including professors, would interpret as bordering or disrespect”. (Nathan 78). An example of that is the clothing that students come with to class. Another illustration is the freedom you’ve got in the class where you can eat, drink or even walk out of class without taking permission. So, it was in a way strange with international students to endure that freedom. But overall, that freedom is indeed pleasuring
Another thing to be looked at would be the Draw Weight or Draw Force of the bow, which basically is how much weight or force is
