After Jack shot Polly, the author describes Jack driving aimlessly down the trail path towards Saskatoon. Simmie continues to write that “Crickets and frogs, something rustling through the weeds, like any normal prairie night, reassuring until he turned back” (Simmie 80). The symbolism of the frog and cricket share significant similarities – they both represent purity, good luck, and healing. The author chose these two animals to create situational irony through contrasting the creature’s geniality

As both Neil Levine in the text The Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright and Robert McCarter from Frank Lloyd Wright observe, Frank Lloyd Wright’s personal life directly affected the architect’s design advancements in the early decades of the 20th century. The architect’s trip to Europe in 1909 and tragedy of Taliesin would be tangibly recreated as objects of his art. His private and public architectural endeavors reveal that Wright would continue to wrestle with contrasting principals of design and

Global warming is an increasing concern that people have to worry about everyday. Global warming is the overall rise in temperature in the atmosphere due to the increase in carbon dioxide (CO2). The CO2 acts as a cover and keeps all the heat on the earth, which is warming the planet to extensive amounts. When people burn fuels like coal and natural gas they release carbon into the earth and the carbon just keeps building up over time. Energy supply represents a big chunk of the problem for global

abundance and simulating the resettlement botanical complexity of a region should make it easier to solve many agricultural problems (40). The share to work side by side with nature may be one of the solution to establish a new sea of perennial prairie

In his novel The Once and Future World: Nature As It Was, As It Is, As It Could Be, J. B. MacKinnon claims that we are dealing with an ecological disaster many years in the making and that it’s not too late. He says we can rebuild wilderness and conserve it in what he call the age of restoration. The concept of ‘rewilding’ is to make something wild again.

In this excerpt from Willa Cather’s My Antonia, as it nears night in the prairie of Nebraska. Jim Burden returns to his hometown of Black Hawk, visiting family and friends during his summer vacation before he starts Law School. He first visits his Grandparents and other family friends, but finds himself reminded of Antonia, his childhood friend who he grew up with. He walks to Antonia’s house, and Antonia’s sister directs him to the field where she is working. Their reunion is sentimental, as the

Section A: Compare and contrast the purposes and cultures of the Native Americans and the French in the Illinois Country. Be sure to include the following terms: Illinois Prairie, Cahokia, “corn, beans, and squash,” Marquette and Joliet, voyager, and Kaskaskia. The Native Illinois and French cultures are very different but occasionally they can be similar. For example many of the native Illinois people were hunters and enjoyed hunting like the french did. The French people were also seen as friendly

medicine, and the bitterroot which was later used for injuries and headaches. Some new animals they discovered included, the Pronghorn antelope, the big-horn sheep, and the prairie dog. “Caught one live by poreing a great quantity of water in his hole.”(“Famous Lewis and Clark Quotes”) Quote by Meriwether Lewis on the prairie dog. Without some of Lewis and Clark’s discoveries, America would of had more trouble treating injuries since they wouldn’t of had all the plants that treated those injuries
