Three Day Road Analysis

The central conflict in The Devil’s Highway, I believe, is Person vs. Nature. The whole book is about a group of men traveling through a desert, otherwise known as the Devil’s Highway. They go through scorching heat, and run across several life-threatening issues. I would definitely describe this conflict as an external conflict. The heat was so hot, and on top of that they had no food or water. Only the resources that lay around them. Which aren’t necessarily the most appealing. (Drinking their own urine, etc.) This conflict really advances the plot. If this conflict wasn’t included in the book, and the weather was perfect and they had water and food, then the book wouldn’t be what it was. A lot of the problems that they encountered had to

-There is a focus on storytelling as a means of healing: "It is the story of my childhood. Now I tell it to you, Xavier, to keep you alive."(35)

In the short story, “Along the Frontage Road” by Michael Chabon, a father and son visit a pumpkin patch off a frontage road to escape from their home and problems. While at the pumpkin patch, the father reflects on how many situations in life are uncontrollable. The family had suffered the loss of their unborn daughter, and the father and son use their experience at the pumpkin patch to move on in life. Michael Chabon uses figurative language in the form of metaphors and similes, a depressing mood, flashbacks, and pumpkin symbolism in “Along the Frontage Road” to comment on hardships in life that people have no control over.

This morning prior to the start of school in the area of Ash street it was reported that a man in a dark blue van had asked a student to come over to his van. Upon this being reported to the school we called Dispatch and an officer was sent to the seen to investigate. Pleas remind your students to be aware of their surrounding and to not approach cars and people that they do not know and to always eminently let an adult know of any situation like this

Three Day Road is a complex and layered novel. It incorporates several themes and plot lines to form a classic novel that students will be reading for years to come. The stories of Xavier Bird, Elijah Weesageechak, and Niska are influenced and changed by obsession or fixation. Xavier maintains Ojibwa beliefs and traditions, and seeks to protect himself and Elijah. Yet Elijah seeks only to impress others and to protect himself. Niska wishes to maintain her father’s legacy, and ensure Xavier’s safety.

The novel I chose to read was “Three Day Road” by Joseph Boyden. When I finally finished the novel, I felt satisfied and thought the conclusion was appropriate and well though out. The idea to follow two storylines that relate to each other was an amazing idea by Boyden and allowed the story to cover material, not only from the Great War, but also other settings. Regardless of my small review, this novel is necessary to read because it brings to light certain subjects in our world that we seem to forget. Firstly, throughout the entirety of the novel we follow Aboriginal Canadians. Therefore, we’re allowed to see the Great War through their perspective and in turn, we see the discrimination they face. In addition, the novel involves two characters;

The two main characters in this story have different reactions to the European’s slow takeover. Elijah represents one extreme. He knows very little of his own heritage in the first place but is so eager to learn the Europeans that he loses it almost instantly. Xavier is on the other end. He tries to preserve his heritage and beliefs in his own mind but does not strike out to do so. The European culture is taking over and pushing that of the Cree natives out. Some of these characters are trying to preserve their own beliefs while others are eager to learn more about the

California – Has brought together all representative groups along the highway what was very important because then was made possible the discussion about the route’s preservation as one single structure and the importance to follow the same preservation criteria all along its path.

They also have incorporated outdoor seating with covered plastic canopies or parasols that act as the signage showcasing the name of the different restaurants. The same condition applies to the stores and shop, where they have implemented neon or colorful signage facing the side of the street so drivers can noticed them, instead of being placed parallel to the façade like the ones in Ocean Drive. Both have used the idea of signage, which is explained in the book, to their advantage to call people’s attention into their business. This way, Lincoln Road acts as an important Strip of Miami, where people can find a variety of shops and restaurants, surrounded by the green palms and spaces.

Crooked Roads is a collection of stories that explores all that is crooked, messed up and thoroughly f**cked in society. But what one doesn’t know and what one may not expect, is the way the author is able to flay the layers and characters of the stories to the point where it is personal. He isn’t writing about Ol’ Buck out in Rednecksville scratching his a$$ and spraying buckshot into the back of his neighbor’s trailer… He’s writing about you, he’s writing about the people you’ve met, the things you’ve seen, the rumors you heard in the town you live. The intrigue of the stories isn’t because of their shock value (though some are truly shocking!) it is because Mr. Cizak knows how to make crime relate directly to you as a person.

Erttttt. As I slammed on brakes in theupcoming chaotic traffic. Maybe I should get off on the next exit and take the back roads. As in back roads I mean good ole Route 66.

And honestly, you're both wrong and you're both right. I frequently see a program multiple times as part of my job, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity. I learn an incredible amount about the work and about the dancers this way. In reference to Angelica's comment -- it is a different feeling to be watching an individual throughout a work, especially when they aren't dancing the leading role. Following someone's pathway through a work gives me a very different insight on the structure of the choreography as well as their specific movement qualities, almost like a Blue Highway trip. I think we all have very powerful feelings about our "home" companies, and for me, it's all tied up in the individual dancers.

The significance of the opening scene is that in the opening scene the main character, Patty. Is at the train station and so is almost all of the town, because a train full of German POW's is getting stopped of in her town because a new POW camp was put there. The signifcance of this is that eventually in the story she protects an escaped

drawings, paintings, and sculpture. One of his works, Rush Hour, demonstrates how the discombobulated shapes, variation of colors, and confined space can leave viewers pondering. As contemporary art continues to make an impact, it shows how much we have evolved throughout American art history.

So I have to say my commute in was pretty easy today despite the metro being closed. I caught a ride with a coworker, and it took 30 minutes to get from Takoma to Chinatown. Also I never seen so many metro buses in the morning. I thought the buses would be overly pack and crowded, but every bus I passed was only half way filled.
