Stepping stone

When analyzing the differences between the song “You are my Best Friend” by Queen and the cover performed by The Once, it may feel almost incomparable. Although the formal structure of the cover follows the same form of the original, the tempo varies. The cover is sung slower which gives the song a differing emotional response than the fast-paced rock song. Personally, I find it difficult to compare the recording production between the performances. When comparing the technology between both…

From the beginning of humankind tools people have used for the use of survival and livelihood. One of the most useful but underrated tools ever invented, the tomahawk’s humble beginnings go back thousands of years to the days of wood and stone. Of all of the forms that this tool took, pipe tomahawks have received the least attention. The pipe tomahawk and the DeQuindre tomahawk both possess great and interesting traits. Though a form of the hatchet, the tomahawk has a slightly more elaborate…

10,000 years ago, the Neolithic Revolution began. As we read in our text it was simply defined as, “…the far-reaching changes in human life resulting from the beginning of farming.” Civilization was a change for the better, and the most revolutionary shift to the world we live in today. Without the impeccable advancement and basic idea of civilization, many of our accomplishments and progressions would have never been as strong, or even completed generally. A flashback into one of the ancient…

Based on Otzi’s belongings I think he was a hunter. IF he was a farmer I believe he would have brought some of his own food with him. Even though he had arthritis he seems to be too skilled with a bow and arrow to just be a farmer since 1 arrow had 2 different people’s blood on it. I also think he lives with a group of people since he was whipworm. Whipworm is spread by human poop which makes me think he can’t get sick of his own poop. I don’t believe he died from this illness since he does not…

When kidney stones get stuck due to their large size, they may…

Paleolithic people were mainly hunters and gatherers. While the men hunted, women would take care of the children. Also, they would gather plants that they could eat. Women would scrape the the hides of animals the men had killed [Gifford-Gonzalez 247]. Women were seen as equal to men. They had the freedom to choose their partners, and to divorce them [Strayer 21]. They also so could freely engage in sex without being shamed for it. The Neolithic world was agricultural. People used farming to…

Early on in Martin Scorsese’s new film, Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) cheerfully describes money as being like “mainlining adrenaline.” Belfort, the real-life rogue trader who set up Long Island stockbroking film Stratton Oakmont, is depicted in the film as reckless, obnoxious, and sexist. Nonetheless, as portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio, he is a very likeable character. We can’t help but root for him. Everything about The Wolf of Wall Street is excessive. It’s a three-hour orgy of greed,…
