Also the natural resources used to build structures in the canyon such as stone and mud mortar, along with wooden beams adapted to the natural clefts in the cliff face while utilizing natural building materials. The canyons also were in a box shape with more or less vertical sides created by erosion allowing for the homes to be inaccessible for neighboring warring tribes.]]> 2022-03-29 13:01:37 UTC https://padlet.com/farrowsm231/desert/wish/2119284143 crunkijg232 https://padlet.com/farrowsm231/desert/wish/2119300712 Two contrasting rhetorical devices seen in Cather's perspective are symbolism and imagery, which demonstrates her unique ability to show remarkably compound landscapes within delightfully expressive writing. She brilliantly includes symbolism and imagery to express lowest point of emotions that are generally applicable, while artfully portraying the victories or failures of her characters. This is based on the conflict between the landscape of home and art is played out dramatically by the central character. The geography isn't just what influences the change but also Cather physically visiting then becoming obsessed to the desert and isolated places as a result.]]> 2022-03-29 13:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/farrowsm231/desert/wish/2119300712 Sinagua is the two Spanish words "sin" and "agua" combined meaning without water.

These kind of horizontal craters in the side of the canyon reminded me of the Western Air Temple in Avatar and how the dwellings were structured relative to the canyon. You would never know from above or another angle these little pockets of shelter were there which is a good form of protection. https://padlet.com/farrowsm231/desert/wish/2119729527 2022-03-29 16:25:09 UTC https://padlet.com/farrowsm231/desert/wish/2119729527 saiyedke23 https://padlet.com/farrowsm231/desert/wish/2119729603 i would say the protection was on eof the key features of the Canyons]]> 2022-03-29 16:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/farrowsm231/desert/wish/2119729603 https://padlet.com/farrowsm231/desert/wish/2119730491 Being "without water," the sinagua tribe had to adapt to their conditions.

In the article, the author quotes a paradoxical statement from a man named Bazato. He said, "In the desert there is everything and nothing—God without mankind" which inspired Cather to have a newfound appreciation of the land. This contrasts with her original perspective that the Western town was an “ugly little western town”. This generalization showcases her presumptuous and immature viewpoint about the west. The voice in these two quotes shows how she not only how her viewpoint about the west developed but also how she matured through her experiences. https://padlet.com/farrowsm231/desert/wish/2119741592 2022-03-29 16:31:10 UTC https://padlet.com/farrowsm231/desert/wish/2119741592 Important features that made the dwellers harbor the area are the vast differences between the canyons and hills, the vast desert compared to the mountains https://padlet.com/farrowsm231/desert/wish/2119744637 2022-03-29 16:32:45 UTC https://padlet.com/farrowsm231/desert/wish/2119744637 https://padlet.com/farrowsm231/desert/wish/2123717043 2022-03-31 14:28:36 UTC https://padlet.com/farrowsm231/desert/wish/2123717043
