    In the narrative of western history there is no shortage of Westerners oppressing people from different cultures. There is also no shortage of white, powerful men oppressing people within their own culture. Throughout colonial western European history, society compelled individuals to fulfill their assigned role that language stereotyped them as. If they did not, Westerns would destroy them so that there was no evidence they didn’t match the stereotype. When Colonizers encounter those they call savage and those “savages” don’t actually fit that definition, instead of revising the narrative to accommodate the reality, westerners destroyed as many natives and as much of native culture as they could.…

My drawing of the total amount of sheep also helped me approach this problem mathematically to get an accurate representation of just how many sheep were shorn before Eric got to the front. I began evaluating this problem where Eric himself stood, behind the 50-other sheep waiting to get to the front. My drawing helped me discover a pattern of movement in Eric’s skips. I drew 50 circles to illustrate the pattern movement and realized that for every two skips Eric takes, one of the sheep in the front of the line gets eliminated for they have already had their turn.…
