last aerican man ch.8

The apprentices dislike Eustace because they do not matter in his opinion hat maters is that the chows at Turtle Island get done. Eustace only chars about his dream like his father he just wants his dream to become reality but by wanting that he is killing his dream. I feel as though there is this image of Eustace as a man living in a tepee warring buckskin with no modern thing, but that is a Eustace has become a lie. He is a person who uses old tools, builds buildings, and owns a car, but if you look at the begging to the book when Eustace first starts living in the wild he lived like a Indian but also like the Indian’s they were to forced change. Eustace has modified his goal in a way that changes the whole aspect of his image and way of like just to make it money not for his over all goal. This is because Eustace is a “man of destiny” and men of destiny make money and don’t live secluded in the forest. But the worst of it is that Eustace is just like his dad in that they are ass holes and even though Eustace is different then every one else he is not living in the true wild he is living on a pre industrial revolution farm. And Eustace is the head farmer and if it is not done his way no matter if your way is easier of faster you are wrong and he will tell you that and you are not going to like it and to bad if you do not like it because he is the master and you are the slave. And he will use as many people as he wants and won’t be char if you pack your bags and go because you are nothing to Eustace unless you are his girlfriend. I would like to work for the original Eustace not what he has become.

The Last American Man Ch.7

Eustace wants to ride his horse across the country to test his skills and endurance. By riding his horse across the country as fast as possible Eustace is putting his skills to the test and racing against time. You also see something vary interesting it is not talked about in the book in detail. It is the part were Eustace and his brother along with Susan disagree on whether or not to go throw a canyon or to continue on the current path of the highway. Eustace wanted to stay on the highway this is vary unlike Eustace, normally he wants to be in nature but here he wants to stay on the developed rout and not the one that is more natural. You see Eustace stray away from his routes becoming something else; he is becoming a man who only wants to complete his dream and not his ideals.

The Last American Man Ch.6

The pressure of running turtle island is a big factor on Eustace health. He is pressuring himself to archive his goal that he has created. He becomes so consumed with work that he is always angry at some things that he cannot be happy. This is because Eustace is the type of person who cannot sit in an offices doing work it is not his personality he need to to active in what he loves (I can attests to this personally). Plus pressure to buy the land makes him work to get the money to buy the land, which is another challenge in its self. This takes a toll on the people around him and because they do not want to be around him they leave and then he becomes depressed. This tacks a big toll on Eustace in that he becomes depressed and has a hared time getting out of this. Another interesting fact is that when Eustace in angry he is almost identical to his father in the way they act.

turtle island

Starting Turtle Island means Eustace has complotted the first step in to completing his goal. He has past the step of specking at places and moved to his mane goal of teaching by experience of being out in the woods. He can finally say he has done something for his goal and is no longer a man living in the woods trying to get his message out about a natural life and the natural way of living. He is now completing his goal instead of planning it. This is a big step for Eustace for he is embarking on his dream and is the beginning of a new chapter in his life.

local advocacy organization

A organization that I think should be a aided or empowered is the Indianapolis Jewish Community relations council which makes sure the Jewish Community equally represented in political problems and to promote pluralism.

the 4 of july to a slave

Douglas thinks to the fourth of July is hypocrisy because they preach about freedom on that day but yet to him and many other blacks the same freedom does not apply to them. He also comments that we say we have natural born rights and god granted us these rights but yet we do not given the same rights to a African-Americans. So how can god grant rights to some but not to all. Douglas also talks about how the fourth of July means nothing to a slave because they are not entitled to the same rights as everyone. For Douglas the Fourth of July is a time to mourn those are still in the bonds of slavery. Although I had to disagree with some of the references to the Bible in how it does not talk about slavery, when it does.

the worst of slavery

The passage in which I feel that you see slavery at its worst is on page 62 talking about a slave named James who ran away and was caught and dragged back in the punishment he received. This is how window describes the punishment that James received “therefore he decided, after the overseer should have whipped him to his satisfaction, to have in place between the screws of the cotton gin, to stay as long as he had been in the woods.” The passage later goes on to say how after four days that gin was unscrewed and there was the bodies half eaten buy rats. This passage shows how bad slavery is and how cruel a master is to his slaves. The fact that a man has the power to legally kill human beings and in a manner that they can do it is morally wrong.

incidents in the life of a slave girl linda's freedom

Linda finally gets her freedom when Mrs. Bruce by his Linda from Mr. Dodge. Although freedom is what Linda wanted she did not want to attain her freedom by somebody buying her and granting her, her freedom because she felt that she was entitled to her freedom. Also Linda was considered to be in the Free states she was still sold. Linda is still very grateful for her freedom and is glad to be truly free from the bonds of slavery that her children will never again feel the weight of slavery. Linda is also happy because she no longer is in any danger of being taken back and put back in to slavery. The fact that Linda knows that the safety of her children is secure takes a great burden off of Linda shoulders.
