Reading Response

One of the most interesting aspects of the setting of ATDPTI is that story so far has been set in an Indian Reserve is Spokane, Washington. I found this to be very foreign to me mainly because I haven't actually experienced what these Indian reserves were like. So I thought that one of the most productive things that I could do to better understand the environment of the book is to actually research Indian Reserves and specifically the one in Spokane.

One of the first things that I looked into when it came to the Spokane Indian Reserve is the actual organization of it all. At the current moment, the 2,874 citizens that live there are split among six organizations. There is the Tribal Government, Spokane Tribal Enterprises, Spokane Indian Housing Authority, Wellpinit School District, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the Indian Health Services. All of which are government controlled and funded. So far in ATDPTI, I have only seen three of the six sections so far.

Hits and Misses

One of the largest "hits" for my freshman year was the research paper. I genuinely enjoyed writing that huge research paper about technology in the cold war. I think this is for a few reasons. The first one being that WWII and Cold War history is something that I am very passionate about (I can blame my Dad for that). The second reason for me enjoying the research paper was because I believed that I was good at writing something like that (not to brag or anything). One of the things that I most improved on while doing this paper were my citation skills. That was definitely something that I had almost no experience in until writing the research paper. The writing project that I had the most trouble with was the literary analysis. I really did believe that the paper would have been the death of me. One of the main reasons for this is because I had a very strong feeling about the book that I couldn't necessarily put into writing (or say for that matter). This is because I ...

Week 8 Free Writing

I noticed something very puzzling over this fall break. Every year my family takes a trip to Destin over fall break. We all have a great time as long as there are no red flags. And that was the problem with this year. Every single day that I went to the beach, there was a red flag even though the waves were very calm. Upon getting into the water, my feet fell from under me and I fell face first into the sand. It was painful, to say the least. I experienced something called under toe. It is actually very normal, and I was just stupid enough to not expect it. Under toe is caused by the waves that hit the shore and start falling back into the ocean. It creates a very powerful pulling force whenever there are strong waves. If this force is strong enough, then it can be very deadly. So just be careful the next time things look calm and always check the flag color for that day.
