Under The Rice Moon Summary

S.C Gwynne writes about the history of the Comanche tribe during the United States’ attack on the natives of North America in his book, Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History. In this book he talks about the rise and fall of Comanches under Quanah Parker who was the last free tribal leader of the Comanches, and also goes in depth about the tribe itself and it’s growth over time. He details how the Comanches war with the white man essentially began and ended with Quanah Parker.

To start off, we will start to talk about Who is the caged bird and why. I think that according to the story, “The Long Walk Home”

He grew and throve very well in his small cage. “Here he grew, and throve in strength and beauty under the care of an invisible protecting hand.” The animal’s owner provided all the life supplies he needed and nourished him everyday. One day he discovered that the cage was open. The animal was scared at first, but then approached it. He decided to make a run for freedom. A leap for liberty. The animal dashed out of the cage and now lives free like any other wild animal. Waiting and then taking the risk was worth the chance.

When a bird is put into a cage, it feels trapped. Even if it wants to leave, it can’t. All of it’s decisions have already been made for them. When it tries to speak out, we shut it up. In the book Out of the Easy by Rupa Sepetys, Josie, the main character, was treated like a bird in a cage, trying to escape and always trying to seek help. The decisions her mom made impacted her more than the decisions Josie made for herself. Since her mom was labeled as a “whore” or “a prostitute”, Josie was thought of that as well. But Josie turned her situation around, she had a willingness and such strive to get out of her rusty cage, her miserable town; she didn’t let her past affect her future.

This expanded definition of freedom is one that deserves to be considered, and it is one that Lambert dedicates a significant portion of text to. Birds are an obvious choice in nature to represent what freedom looks like because they are not bound to the earth in the way that men

The reason why the children at the market couldn’t understand the bird’s pleas for release was that

"The Moon We Left Behind" is an article about the importance of the US space program, and why such a program shouldn't be cancelled. The US space program was cancelled in 2010 according to the article by president Obama inciting the need of Charles Krauthammer to write the article before it was cancelled. The article “The Moon We Left Behind” was written in July 17, 2009; a year before the space program was actually cancelled. Charles Krauthammer is a widely known author and an experienced veteran within the field of journalism since 1981. Today, the space program is not of great importance; but to Charles Krauthammer, the space program, as many do, saw the program as important. Their reasoning is the usage of such a program can advance technology,

“Free as a bird. It’s the next best thing to be… What ever happened to the life we once knew? Always made me feel so free!” This song, by the Beatles, shares the well known idea of being free as a bird. Since the beginning of time, mankind has wondered what it would feel like to fly, to travel around the world, and to be free. Humans have idolised the talents of birds for this reason. They can go wherever, whenever, and always seem happy soaring through the sky at their own leisure. While birds used to all roam free, now, approximately 3,700,000 of the 8,300,000 birds are being kept as household pets in the United States according to www.avma.org. That’s about 44% of the birds in the United States that are kept in cages. Naturally, these birds yearn to fly free and be happy, but instead they are trapped in tiny cages, or, for the lucky ones, some are thrown in a cage as big as a living room television. This feeling of being trapped is how Tom Wingfield from The Glass Menagerie and Mamie from the poem “Mamie” feel.

They each long for the joy and adventure that freedom will provide them. In fact, Corey is so excited about freedom he can hardly contain himself, “My heart was a frog leaping out of murky water into clear sunlight. I said, ‘Thanks!’ and I ran for the door.” The animal realizes the joy and adventure from freedom after he accidently escapes his cage when, “On he rushes, in his mad flight, heedless that he is wounding and tearing his sleek sides – seeing, smelling, touching of all things.” Both Corey and the animal find great joy and adventure in their

In ‘Flight’, I think the author is trying to say that if you hold something too tight then they will try and rebel against you, but if your let it have freedom then it will return. She does this through symbolism, using the pigeon as a symbol of the granddaughter. In ‘Flight’ the granddad lets the pigeon free, for a few minutes, to spread its wings, which shows that the granddad is willing to do the same for the granddaughter as long as she comes back. I think the

I am reading a book called The Empire Of The Summer Moon. This book is about the Comanche tribe, when reading this book it makes me realize how much the American government has done for its people in the past. Which honestly in my opinion insnt very much, it's always been the people of this nation that has gotten us through the hard times. This book shows the charisma, boldness, and strength of the American people during the mid 1800s. I enjoy this book greatly because i am learning about my heritage and where I came from and what it took for me to get here.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein is a 1966 science fiction novel that depicts a lunar colony’s revolt against Earthmen’s dominion over its economics and politics. The novel presents strong female characters who incite and sustain the revolution, alongside the male torchbearers. Although Heinlein’s characterization of Lunar women as citizens with freedom of choice over marriage and employment is suggestive of his progressive attitude, the lack of self-ownership and ultimate marginalization of women as wives, serve to elucidate Heinlein’s greater conformity to the traditional gender representations of the 20th century.

The first stanza of the poem introduce the free bird. Angelou uses words such as “leaps . . . and floats” (Line 1-3) in description of this character’s movements. These actions relate directly to moving without restrictions. The words leaped and floats are contradicted immediately in the second stanza as Angelou brings the caged bird into the picture. Angelou uses diction that complements confinement
