  • Ernest Hemingway
    ANALYSIS “Big Two-Hearted River” (1925) Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) Chapter IV The vignette preceding the story, Chapter IV, renders the death of a bullfighter gored in the arena. In the previous vignette the bullfighter, Maera, is characterized as a responsible matador with integrity who is consequently assigned the bad bulls that survive bad matadors. The story dramatizes the recovery of a soldier wounded in the war, who like the bullfighter got injured by chance. A bull is wild like warfare and wildfire. The first 7 vignettes in In Our Time are about war, followed by one about crime, then 6 vignettes about bullfighting. This vignette and story bring together the thematic motifs of war and bullfighting. Both the soldier and the bullfighter are carried away on a stretcher, one in war and one in peace. Everything speeds up for the bullfighter as he dies, whereas everything slows down for Nick as he recovers. The vignette that follows the story is the second one about crime, bringing the third motif into relation with the other two. In Our Time is a succession of dispatches and stories by a war correspondent intended to shock complacent readers into facing the brutal facts of life. Violence and the prospect of death are everywhere in our time and all time. I Nick Adams, an American Adam, experiences a “Fall” when he gets wounded on the Italian front in Chapter VI of In Our Time (1925): “He had been hit in the spine.” Though he is the protagonist, Nick is so much subordinated in the book, especially by the vignettes—in the Naturalist tradition the individual is a small and insignificant speck in the universe--that most readers miss the fact that he got wounded and consequently have no idea what happens in the last story or what it means.

Nomination Point of Contact - Name, Phone, Email, Address Darryl Ertel P.O. Box 318 Paradise, MI 49768 810-247-4583 [email protected] Section II - Introduction Narrative Description – a brief overview of the nomination This nomination area resides within the Michigan waters of Lake Superior described by noted Great Lakes shipwreck author, Frederick Stonehouse, in his book “Lake Superior’s Shipwreck Coast”. Stonehouse writes therein “If there is truly a graveyard of Lake Superior, it is the general area of Whitefish Point. More vessels have been lost there than any other part of the lake.” Stonehouse lists over 100 vessels lost between Grand Marais MI, west of Whitefish Point and Pt. Iroquois MI, southeast of Whitefish Point. Less than half of these shipwrecks have been found and documented to date. Several shipwrecks of historical significance have been found in amazingly well-preserved condition including the Comet, Cowle, Vienna, Osborn, and Mather as documented in GLSHS’ project report “The Art and Science of Mapping Lake Superior’s Shipwrecks: Ghosts of the Shipwreck Coast” 1.

Dr. Douglas Hurt Dr. Mark Palmer Dr. Anna Ball DEDICATION I am happy to dedicate this work to my family, especially my beautiful fiancé Nikki. I could not have done it without her help and support, and I look forward to the next chapter in our lives together. We made it! My parents, both Annette and Mark Erbes and Jim and Kathy Keating, gave me important support during my time at Mizzou, including even finding some historical markers for me in the deepest, darkest corners of rural northern Michigan. I am very thankful for their help and emotional encouragement throughout my graduate career. I also want to thank my fellow graduate students in the Geography department. The advice, venting, laughter, and intellectual conversations (serious or otherwise) that took place in Room 2 were greatly needed at many times throughout the past two years, and my colleagues were always there to provide it.

  • Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) Grants for 5 Active Or Completed Projects
    The COUNTY ALCONA MICHIGAN NATURAL RESOURCES TRUST FUND was established under the Kammer Recreational Land Trust Fund Act of 1976 to provide a permanent funding source for the public acquisition of land for resource protection and public outdoor recreation. Funding is provided by revenue derived from royalties on the sale and lease of state-owned oil, gas and mineral rights. This landmark piece of legislation came to fruition thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Michigan Oil and Gas Association, Michigan United Conservation Clubs and state legislators on behalf of all Michigan citizens. The MNRTF has contributed immeasurably to protecting our state’s natural beauty and helped paved the way for wise and prudent development of our state’s abundant energy resources. To date, the MNRTF has awarded over $1.1 billion in grants to Michigan’s state and local parks, waterways, trails and nature preserves throughout all 83 counties. Of this total, $245 million has been invested in trails. In excess of 1,000 public parks have been acquired and / or developed. Other projects funded include ball fields, tennis courts, trailheads, restrooms and other amenities, for a total of just under 2,500 MNRTF-assisted projects since 1976. ALCONA COUNTY Alcona County has received $644,100 in Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund (MNRTF) grants for 5 active or completed projects.
