    chapter 8-16 Summaries

    The physical remains of humanly made artifacts form the bulk of the archaeological record. The artifacts that are found by archaeologists may not represent the range of objects actually used because certain materials preserve better than others. For this reason, stone tools and ceramics dominate the archaeological record. Objects made of fabric, cord, skin, and other organic materials no doubt date back to the very earliest archaeological periods but they rarely survive. The introduction of pottery in a culture seems to coincide with the adoption of a sedentary way of life.…

    Bayeux Tapestry Experience Essay Example

    Months had gone by after volunteering to go to war with the English Saxons. Us soldiers have been working hard in the preparations of the ships we are going to use to sail across the Channel. Each day, more and more soldiers arrive to help in the preparations of this battle. Duke William has separated the men into groups to help the process of building the ships, the weapons and gathering the supplies needed in this battle. The smell of fresh wood being cut and the sounds of the ships being put together makes me more anxious to go to battle. The days seem to becoming warmer and longer and the ships are almost done being built. Finally, the day had come, Duke William had announced that the Norman soldiers were going to move out. We set sail on a hot day in July with Mora, the head ship ahead of the fleet. She was a beauty to look at, she was given a carved dragon figurehead on the prow, and a trumpeter sounding signal at its stern (BBC, 2011). The fleet, consisting of almost 700 ships, moved north to Dives before we crossed the Channel. Duke William was waiting for the news of King Harold's…

    Summary Of Chapter 1-22

    The stories in Chapters eight and nine not only provide a more concrete look into Chris’ sanity, but also allow us to more deeply understand his person and his purpose. In Chapters eight and nine when are introduced to the stories of Gene Rosellini, John Waterman, Carl McCunn, and Everett Ruess. Each man had a different story however obviously the same skeletal structure. Gene had began his journey into the wild as an experiment “in knowing if it was possible to be independent of modern technology” and revert to primitive lifestyles (Krakauer 74). Previously being a 4.0 GPA student and a star athlete, Gene eventually became overcome by his soon-to-be failed hypothesis “convinced that humans had devolved into progressively inferior beings” (Krakauer…

    Continental Congress Advantages And Disadvantages

    In establishing the Continental Army, the Congress had to create a single army out of the different men that volunteered from the 13 colonies. These men were poorly trained and equipped. This was a huge disadvantage because the British army was well supplied, and trained. General Washington adapted to the warfare differences and taught his men guerilla warfare. Despite being considered cowardly,…

    Summary Of Life Begins: Crash Course Big History

    In John/Hank Green’s video, “Life Begins: Crash Course Big History #4,” he discusses many different concepts encompassing the beginning of life on Earth. Life can adapt, metabolize and reproduce; but even these broad standards can make it difficult to classify certain things as ‘living.’ Regardless, the underlying principle is that life will actively try and increase its longevity, contrast to non-living things, which make no active attempt to exist longer. Another big idea is the transformation of scientific knowledge regarding life. For hundreds of centuries, even scientists believed that life could spontaneously appear – if food were to be left out in the open. This concept was shot down by scientist Louis Pasteur, who conducted an…

    Summary Of The Documented Life

    “The Documented Life” by Sherry Turkle is a powerful essay reminding us how trapped our generation truly is within our cell phones and other electronic devices. She calls attention to electronics and how they have begun to dominate how we communicate with each other and document our memories. In moments of boredom we chose to fill our time with our heads down, in our devices. Although, Turkle does see a glimpse of hope for our future generations that are being shown the dangers of technology.…

    The Documented Life Summary

    “The Documented Life” written by author Sherry Turkledec in December, 2013. She starts off walking through the city of Los Angeles, CA with actor and comedian Aziz Ansari. The two are discussing some of their mutual interest they share on the psychology of texting. As they were walking, they couldn’t help but notice how often Mr. Ansari’s fans would approach him demanding autographs. Mr. Ansari says he would rather have a conversation about his fans taste in music, how he performed, or his stand-ups, rather than autographs. Needless to say his fans weren’t satisfied. It’s like they need that autograph to be happy. Turkledec has studied people and mobile technology for 15 years. She interviewed people on their selfies they take on their phones, that’s how she keeps track of their life. She goes over different points ranging from how one doesn’t take the time to appreciate the experience right in front of them, how technology is changing us, and the lack of communication skills. While Turkledec talks about the distractions of cell phones, this leaves us wondering how this is going to affect younger adults later on in life.…

    Text Commentary of the Declaration of Independence

    Text Commentary of the Declaration of Independence

    This is a text commentary about ‘The Unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America’. The Declaration of Independence is a juridical and legal document written sometime between June 11 and June 28, 1776. The reason for that lapse of time is because a draft of the declaration was asked to a group of five delegates of the Continental Congress on June 11, called ‘The Committee of Five’, consisting of John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, Robert R. Livingston of New York, and Roger Sherman of Connecticut, but it remains unknown when exactly was it drafted. Anyway, the draft was presented to the Continental Congress on June 28, so it was written down in only seventeen days. What is sure known is that that committee decided that Jefferson would be the man in charge of writing the first draft. So it’s possible to venture that it was written down in Thomas Jefferson’s dwelling while in Pennsylvania, although some passages of the text were corrected or varied by Benjamin Franklin and John Adams days before it’s final presentation on June 28, somewhere in Pennsylvania (maybe also in Jefferson’s). On the other side, it remains unknown whether Roger Sherman and Robert Livingston participated in the drafting or not, although they were appointed to. This document was made to put an end to the bad political relations between the United Kingdom and its colonies in America, which started to deteriorate since the end of the so-called ‘Seven Years’ War’ (known in the States as the French And Indian War) in 1763, a war between Great Britain and France in North America fighting for virgin territories between what’s now Canada and the USA. This war nearly doubled Britain's national debt. The Crown, seeking sources of revenue to pay off the debt, attempted to impose new taxes on its…
