1. The point is to show the emotion in the project by having the people talk instead of writing which really shows the importance in spreading the history of it.
2. To put an emotional part in the project as it shows how the elders feel about their whole history.
3. Inform as there native elders are dying and informing their stories helps the culture keep going.

It is biased but not in the wrong way as it leans on the side that the name and logo is wrong and it is wrong. They do prove the point that being biased is not always wrong.

I think that if they were to keep a native type name they should change it to something less offensive. For example the chiefs have a native based name and logo but they do lots of charity and help out the native community of Kansas City. But having a slur for a name and having a native as the logo is also wrong.

After reading the passage both titles affect her as her labeling herself as a puritan meant that she didn't want people being praised in the church but when she started writing she was praised as the best poet writer. She also had to live up to the expectation of being the best which put a lot of stress on her. It was harder for her back then because she was one of the only female poets as it was mostly male dominant.

A good thing to do would to be to start the day off with a prayer or some sort of meditation to get your mind right for the day. Starting your day right will lead to better days which leads to a happier life. Another good daily habit is to get a good breakfast as having good food in you will keep you productive and energetic through a long day. I do these daily habits and they help me through long days where I feel exhausted but I push through. Having the mental drive and physical drive to work is the key to success and winning the day.

What does this video show us about the depiction of the devil throughout literature?
It shows how writers have changed how he looks and what he does and acts.

Why do you think writers from the Romantic period shifted away from the Puritan style of morally good characters and began writing about characters who made bad choices?
To show that not all people have good values and to show that people regret the bad things they do in life. This would start the era of dark writing of morally bad people.

He revolutionized the poetry world with his style of writing as he didn't keep a steady pattern and just wrote. He also did not go to college which a lot of other poets did which showed you didn't need to go to college to write.

1. Metaphors describe something by using something else to compare and they aren't always true.
2. It is a metaphor that expands over a few lines.
3. Football is a 9-5 job. During football season there is a lot of clocking in and clocking out with practices and film. With football if you do not do good enough you will be replaced with someone who is better.

1. The left one is more realistic and the woman has a more natural look.
2. The woman has a more bright and studio like lighting and she is wearing a dress that usually doesn't fit the everyday style.
3. The romanticism shifts away from everyday stuff while realism stays on that path.

WW1 affected families as they had family members go and fight in the wars that resulted in death. This affects the family as they had to deal with the fear of being killed by the war and had to deal with the death of their families.
Women found jobs and some desired to keep working. This helped many women secure jobs and help support their families.
Not really as it just explained a lot of the positives that helped a lot of people out.
