Urban Legend Of Crocodiles In The Harlem City

Social Data: Doney is a retired local rancher who lives up the block from the collector’s whose own home sits partially in front of Doney’s land and ranch buildings. After searching through available neighbors who knew the history of Bear Lake, I called him up to see what he knew about Bear Lake and any relevant stories about the area. Knowing a little bit of the history, he was willing to be interviewed, and I was able to visit him at his home and asked questions on the Bear Lake Monster and its early beginnings. I was the only person listening to the story, and found the story very interesting and learned several things that I didn’t know about before.

In The True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp, by Kathi Appelt, a pair of raccoons, Bingo and J’miah, become the Official Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp (Appelt 3). Bingo and J’miah go on special missions to serve the Sugar Man, a creature that rules over the swamp, and heed to the “Voice of Intelligence” that comes from a junky old DeSoto car abandoned in the swamp (Appelt 3-4). One day, Bingo and J’miah hear a rumble in the swamp and figure out that it is a herd of wild hogs, who are trying to eat all the sugar cane in the swamp (Appelt 62-83). However, that is not the only thing that threatens Sugar Man Swamp. Sonny Boy Beaucoup, a business man, and Jaeger Stitch, a World Champion Gator Wrestler, are trying to turn the swamp into a the Gator World Wrestling Area (Appelt 76-79).

We traveled through the humid wetlands and marshes, taking tallies and notes of the many species here. We were all dirty and smelled just like the animals here. All of our crew stepped through huge clearings of murky water, and we stumbled upon a new creature: what we call an alligator. I have seen it with my own eyes, a long beast with a mouth larger than Augustine’s. We attempted to take notes of it. In fact, there forced me to do the primary observation. They all decided to leave me with this animal. I could not believe it, but I was alone with the beast. And then, as I tried to come closer to it, in an act of sheer bravery, it snaps at me! Then, I started chasing me! I ran away, and I made leagues of distance away before I would stop. I began to relax, until I realized that I no longer had any idea where I was. I was out in the wild, just like the savages. They were no people, no oxen or boars to eat, only what looked like thousands of foreign trees inhabiting an enormous amount small creatures, from rabbits to squirrels and beetles to mosquitos. There was no where and no one to go to. I was lost and had to fend for my own self. I spent two days, May 1st and 2nd all alone, starving, drinking water when I could. I thank the Lord for my cunning survival. At one point, my gun ran out of bullets

Humans have been giving common names to plants and animals for as far back as cavemen go. It has been no different for the American Alligator commonly known as the “gator”. The name “Alligator,” according to Kelby Ouchley, is an Anglicized term from the Spanish word “lagarto” (lizard). This name can be traced back to early Spanish explorers in North America, who came across the giant lizard looking type of animal. In 1802 the renowned French herpetologist, Francois Marie Daudin, officially described the American Alligator as Alligator Mississippiensis. The term Mississippiensis comes from the Mississippi river where many of these lizard like creatures were found and the Latin term ensis meaning “belonging to.”

A rattlesnake is one of the most dangerous animals in the world. In the story. “The Rattler”, a man encounters a deadly rattlesnake during a peaceful walk in the desert and he kills the snake in order to protect others. The author uses language and details of the snake, the man, and the setting to generate sympathy for the snake and empathy for the man.

The raccoon crawled slowly, limping on one leg, his eyes deranged and blood-shot. Even though he was frightening to look at, the raccoon was guilty of nothing other than having a bad case of rabies. A young squirrel, ignorant to the fact that the raccoon was rabid, immediately told his family, who immediately told their friends, who told their cousins, who engulfed the whole forest in the viral rumor that the raccoon was a Bad One. The Bad Ones now threatened the sanity of a wooded area that was once as serene, beautiful, and close to Heaven as a bunch of trees could possibly get.

The Harlem Renaissance was the name given to the cultural, social, and artistic explosion that took place in Harlem, New York between the conclusion of World War I and the middle of the 1930s. During this period, Harlem was a cultural center, drawing black writers, artists, musicians, photographers, poets, and scholars. Many had come from the South, fleeing its oppressive caste system in order to find a place where they could freely express their talents; this became known as The Great Migration. Among those artists whose works achieved recognition were Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, Countee Cullen, Arna Bontemps, Zora Neale Hurston, and Jean Toomer. The Renaissance involved racial pride, fueled in part by the violence of the "New Negro" demanding civil and political rights. The Renaissance incorporated jazz and the blues, attracting whites to Harlem speakeasies, where interracial couples danced. However, the Renaissance had little impact on breaking down the rigid barriers of Jim Crow that separated the races; while it may have contributed to a certain slackening of racial attitudes among young whites, perhaps its greatest impact was to reinforce race pride among blacks. The importance of the social movement we refer to as the Harlem Renaissance cannot afford to be overlooked. Like the musicians of their day, Harlem Renaissance poets advocated for an equal society, and incorporated personal anecdotes and historical snippets into their compositions to make the

According to the state of New York, approximately thirty thousand families were living at shelters in 2012. I am not ashamed to say that my family and I were included in those statistics. For the past three years, the percentage of families in shelters around New York City have increased. Growing up in The Bronx was extremely challenging for adolescents due to the amount of drugs and crime. Many families are receiving help from the city and still can not afford housing or food. Homelessness has also increased, creating every corner a new home. Although I have faced countless issues growing up, I have been taught an infinite amount of lessons. I have learned that failure is not always a bad thing in life, achievements include hard work and

Over a significant time frame, African Americans have been forced to endure numerous hardships – one of which being the negatives stigmas that unfairly generalize their people, culture and way of life. Therese stereotypes of a whole nationality label Blacks as, “superstitious, lazy, ignorant, dirty, unreliable, (and even) criminal,” (“Stereotypes”). Such generalizations are products of the public’s perception, which has been diluted by rooted historic and current prejudice as well as the media’s conveyance of a well-known African American cultural center: Harlem. Despite negative connotations associated with it, Harlem stands as a community that strives to flourish and maintain its strong cultural status. George Canada, the founder of the

The setting of the story is not described, but by using hints the author placed throughout the short story, I managed to figure out the setting. In one section of the story, it explains how Sibia, a twelve-year old immature woman, had husked corn, gathered sticks, put dung to dry, cooked, weeded, carried and fetched water, and cut grass since she was a toddler. This allowed me to predict that this setting took place in a small and poor village. It led me to believe the village was in a scorching, sunny environment, explaining why Sibia was sweating while she was working. The author mention “the river” many times, so I inferred that a river might be close to this village. The river was a dangerous one, mainly because it was occupied with numerous fish and reptiles, including many crocodiles. The “when” of the story is mainly during the day, with an exception of it being night at the end of the story. There might have been a gorge, as it states in the story, “The light of evening was striking up the gorge.”. The last detail I could catch was how the village had mud houses, instead of brick or wood houses. I figured this out from the introduction part of the story, where it mentioned “In the shrill noisy village above the ford, out of a mud house the same colour as the ground came a little girl…”. This is the description of the story that I could collect.
