Chapters

For this week, there were four parts. First there were the Marlowe chapters: five and ten. Then, there were the Chagnon chapters: one and two. First, I would like to talk about chapter five from the Marlowe reading. Chapter five seemed very bland to me. Also, it seems to categorize many groups into perfect generalizations. I disliked this very much because even though some groups are similar, they also have their cultural differences. I do understand that these generalizations are to help…

purpose for the chapter “The explosion” was to build suspense for the plot. It started out as Charlotte resting calmly in her web trying to figure out other ways to save Wilbur’s life. She realized that humans were very gullible and since summer was coming to an end she had to come up with a plan, and fast. The chapter ended with Charlotte still at work trying to figure something out even after everyone had gone to bed, leaving all the barn animals unsure of her next move. This chapter was to…

the opportunities to use different kinds of creative abilities. Chapter 8 discusses the importance of integrating art into the other subject areas in order to provide students with enriching opportunities. Arts help promote esteem, develop empathy, and provide equity. Providing students to work with arts will allow students to actively engage in the material and deepen their connections while learning about other subjects. Chapter 8 discusses the importance of allowing students to express…

coworkers because in the accounting industry you must work as a team and have each other’s back. The chapter ends with Jack experiencing his first busy season.

Looking back on his first year, Jack is proud of his work and states that he has learned a lot in his first year. The end of this chapter portrays to the student what to expect from an auditor’s first busy season. It…

Chapter 3 also poses the question of why marriage even exists in our diversely-religious society. One suggestion is that it has become a norm. Culture is learned and values change over time. The societal norms that were in place in the past are not the same as the norms now. A traditional norm that is changing is the roles men and women play in the household. History has told shown us that women were traditionally meant to stay home, manage the household, and bare children. The men were expected…

Joey Serrano: Chapter 6: Metaphors, Symbol, and Analogy / Metaphor as Cognitive Should it not be argued that we need to even look past the sentence and rather at the whole piece to completely understand the significance of a metaphor? When talking about Ricœur’s emphasis on metaphor, Stiver says that “Metaphor has long been recognized as a literary device that enables us to depict well-known things in striking and focused ways; in other words, metaphor adorns what we already know in dashing new…

All individuals, including those who are self-employed, are eligible to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Along with a petition for bankruptcy, a $235 case filing fee, and a $75…

Evolution: “when science trumps faith”. (pp159) Chapter 7 discusses evolution in the most literal sense possible: the creation of earth and life without any assistance from God. As one might imagine, it is centered on the teachings of Dawkins, whose stance on evolution is clear and unforgiving. Dawkins starts out with the argument that “evolution fully accounts for biological complexity and the origins of humankind, so there is no more need for God.” (pp163) I enjoyed Collins’ quick and cunning…

Chapter 1: Almost 70 million years ago, the most recent of apocalyptic extinction events occurred, wiping out the dinosaurs and signaling the start of a new era. The Cenozoic Era (age of mammals) has been split into seven sections called epochs with the final epoch being called the Holocene epoch, which brought forth a new ecosystem that harbored humanity. To conclude the eras that occurred previously, there have been five apocalyptic extinction events that occur roughly every 100 million year,…
