...using a Time Machine, the following steps would have prevented this tragedy from happening. Forcing relocation, miscommunication of the Ghost Dance, and the seizure of Sioux weapons all lead to the Battle of Wounded Knee in 1890. Tensions have been rising between the European settlers and Native Americans for hundreds of years before this battle. When the Ghost Dance movement came along, the Indians thought it was a peaceful end to white expansion. A holy man named Wovoka founded the Ghost Dance. “When you get home you must make a dance to continue five days. Dance four successive nights, and the last night keep us the dance until the morning of the fifth day, when all must bathe in the river and then disperse to their homes. You must all do in the same way” (Wovoka 1891). This piece of the message from the messiah shows that the Indians were doing the ghost dance as a way to get their homelands back and in no way had the intent to be violent. The Indians believed that it would free the area of white men so they could return to their original lands and live freely. Wovoka preached nonviolence, however, whites feared that the Ghost Dance would lead to an Indian Rebellion (Education Portal). This excerpt from Harper’s Weekly in October of 1890 shows how the people of the United States say the ghost dance as a from of aggression to come, “The delusion of the coming of the Messiah among the Indians of the Northwest, with the resulting ceremony known as the ghost dance, is indicative...

...A Doll's House's Symbolism A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen was written in the late 1800’s and uses symbolism to get the writer’s ideas and descriptions across to the reader in greater detail. We will examine four of the writer’s uses of symbolism. The first is actually the title of the play and sets the stage for everything that transpires in the play. The second symbol is the Christmas tree that is brought into the first scene by Nora. The third use of symbolism that Ibsen uses is the macaroons that are only introduced in the first scene. Finally, the Tarantella can be interpreted as one of the most symbolic parts of the whole play. The title of Henrik Ibsen’s play, “A Doll’s House,” is symbolic in itself. The doll in the play would be Nora. Nora is in a mindless role of a plaything that first belongs to her father and then to Torvald. Nora play’s her part in the life but secretly wants more and is constantly reminded of how little control over her own life she has. An example of this is that after 8 years of marriage and three children, Torvald Helmer wags his finger at Nora and asks “Hasn’t Miss Sweet-Tooth been breaking the rules in town today ?” (Ibsen, 1897, p.)_Torvald speaks to Nora as a parent would speak to child in a condescending tone throughout the play. The title “A Doll’s House” is an ironic metaphor for what could be considered as more of a prison than a home for Nora who is really not expected to ever make decisions for herself or think for herself. In the...

...Africa. Questions like; do we live on trees, do we dance in the nude around fire and do we have wild animals in our backyards? First, I would like to talk about the belief that we live on trees. I know for a fact that everybody has a roof over their head. It can be hut, brick, or mansion. Generally, people who live in huts are away from civilization in villages. The rest of the population would have a regular modern brick house. About twenty years ago, my dad was surprised when asked the question during a business seminar in Boston. An executive asked him if he still lived on trees. My dad was speechless. And then he explained to him that nobody lived on trees, not even the poorest Congolese. Secondly, do we dance in the nude around fire? The answer to that is no. I have seen pictures of people dancing around fire, but they were never nude. Dancing plays a big part of our culture. We express our emotions through music and dancing. Sometimes for different occasions, people would wear costumes such as raffia or traditional clothing to dance. In the village, people wear traditional clothing versus modern clothing in the city. Finally, do we have wild animals in our backyards? Africa has lots of Safari’s and Exotic Animals. This is a true fact but not to the extent that people outside of Africa perceive. We do not have wild animals in our backyards. The only time we see wild animals is at zoos and national parks. So in summary, many of the Stereotypes of Africa are simply...

They were married for a long time but Awiyao her husband has to marry another girl named Madulimay because Lumnay cannot bear a child. On the night of the wedding of Awiyao and Madulimay, Awiyao went to his and Lumnay's house where they used to live to personally invite his ex wife to join the dance but Lumnay refuses to join. Lumnay is the best dancer in their tribe. They had a heart-to-heart talk about their separation, and on their conversation they found out that the couple still had a thing on each other. They still love each other but they have to separate because their tribe’s custom is--every man in that tribe should have one (or more) child that would carry his name and if his wife cannot give him a child he can marry another woman. It's a man's necessity to have a child. Lumnay can hardly let go of her husband. The two both agreed that if Awiyao's second marriage did not work, he will go back to Lumnay's arms and this was sealed by the beads that Lumnay will keep. Then Awiyao goes back to the wedding because someone is calling him already. After being fetched by others, Lumnay decided to go to the wedding not to dance or to join the celebration but to stop the wedding.

As you can see the dancers have their careers, their fashions, and their talents. First of all, the careers of the dancers are different between the males and the females. For instance, Gene Kelly can be seen playing a sailor, a painter, and a movie star in some of his best roles. While Fred Astaire can be seen playing a supposed playboy and a famous dancing performer and a brother to a princess to be. Also sometimes men were more successful than women and made all the money for their cloths and food. On the contrary, the careers are different for females than males. For example, Rita Hayworth can be seen playing a Femme Fatale in Gilda, The romantic version of Salome, and a gypsy. On the other hand, Ann miller could be seen playing an ex-dancing partner of Fred Astaire, Bianca in Kiss me Kate and a female professor in On The Town. Also women were often able to have only minor careers and able afford things because the men especially if they were actors were kings of the hills. Secondly, the styles of male dancers are different from the female dancers. For instance, Gene Kelly could be seen wearing a variety of athletic suits and cloths. While Fred Astaire could be seen wearing tuxedos and top hats...

...Question: How Zumba related to therapy and how can it be used as a therapeutic tool? Based on various definitions, Zumba can be defined as an aerobic fitness program that combines Latin and international music with dance moves. According to the oxford dictionary, therapy is defined as a treatment intended to relieve or heal a disorder. On the other hand, therapeutic tools are tools that are used to maintain or restore one’s health. Researchers have discovered that zumba can be used as a form of therapy. Based on my research, I have gained the understanding that the related aerobic moves conducted during a zumba session are beneficial to one’s health and can be used as a effective therapeutic tool, especially for individuals with illnesses and disorders. Three ways in which I think zumba may be used as therapeutic tools are; Effective Calorie Burner, Weight Loss and as Stress Therapy. Firstly, zumba can be used as an effective calorie burner. According to a recent zumba study led by Dr. John Porcari, a person can burn an average of 369 calories (9.5 calories per minute) after doing a 38 minute session with an average heart rate of 154 beat per minute. Of course the actual calorie burn will depend on the energy you get from the session, the instructor, the type of music, dance moves, and your actual mood. Calorie burn is also compared with other exercises studied in the past. However, it was discovered that zumba could help burn more calories than step aerobics and cardio kickboxing...

INDEX 1) Poem- Daffodils 2) Questions and Answers 3) Summary 4) Explanation Poem I wandered lonely as a Cloud That floats on high o'er vales and Hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden Daffodils; Beside the Lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: A Poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed--and gazed--but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the Daffodils. Questions and Answers 1) What was the poet doing when he saw the daffodils? Answer: The poet was walking around through the hills and valleys, but he felt all lonely and mopey. Suddenly, as he passed the lake, he noticed a big group of yellow daffodils waving in the breeze. 2) What does the poet compare himself with? “I wandered lonely as a Cloud...
