Native Americans Fur Trade

Thoughts on the Mountain Man and the Fur Trade
Critique This article was somewhat interesting; it
was not a very appealing title for the author to
have chosen to write about. He talks about the
importance of Fur Trade in the 1800 s, even though
there are those who say it was not a very
important export that required few men I strongly

history. What I found very interesting in this
article was the fact that even though the mountain
men seemed to have ...

pistol or Whitworth sniper rifle. The question is,
why these particulars out of the hundreds of
devices that made a battlefield appearance during
the war? There must be something between them that
relates to the story and its mood. All of the

punching a hole in a boiler tank under high
pressure. The northward-directed lateral blast of

Lord Of The Flies Important To Note

1. The conch being inexpertly blown and the fact
that Piggy has only one lens shows that society
has begun to function poorly. The reason for this
decline in society is Jack. Jack broke Piggy's
lens, and now Jack who has power, represented by
the conch, does not know how to blow it properly.
This tells us that Jack is an inept leader who
misuses power and destroys knowledge. To become an
expert at something, such as blowing a conch or
leading a society takes time, so this is also
significant bec...
