You are writing a summary report for the chair of the department. You have to categorize and summarize the data accordingly — using appropriate language. DO NOT use %’s like 14% of the comments said “X.” That is an inappropriate use of statistics and percentages for qualitative data.
Summarize this understanding in your post. What is interesting, significant, surprising, challenging, and/or meaningful to you? (One point to pay special attention to is that God sends a message directly not just to Abraham but also to Sarah and to Hagar. What might the significance of this be?) How is this understanding of all three faiths as siblings important for our world today? (Think about how Abraham is buried. What do his sons do? And how might this relate to contemporary issues?)

This week’s discussion is all about bipedalism! As bipedalism is the first hominin characteristic to evolve, anthropologists are particularly interested in determining why early hominids became bipedal. For this week I would like you all to evaluate the hypotheses that have been used to explain the rise of bipedalism (click here to download the hypotheses with descriptionsPreview the document). For each hypothesis please provide a critical evaluation of how likely it is to explain the appearance of bipedalism, give what you know about human evolution from this week’s textbook chapter, guided notes, and lab. Keep in mind that some of these hypotheses are older, and some are more accepted by the main stream than others. After you have evaluated each hypothesis, tell me which hypothesis/hypotheses you find most convincing and why!

How It Feels To Be Colored Me by Zora Neale Hurston
Im too busy sharpening my oyster knife (266)
In Zora Neale Hurstons short essay, the narrator uses this metaphor. This metaphor expresses how the narrator views the world. How? Well, if you think of what an oyster knife does it shucks the hard shells of an oyster. It splits the oyster in half so a person can get the meat inside (a pearl?). If we think of a person with an oyster knife in hand, we can see a person who is going to any lengths to break through the shell. Similar to this type of person is the narrator of this essay. Hurston shows that she is a person who is willing to confront the stereotypes of this eraracism and discrimination. During this period, Hurston experienced the highs and lows of the prejudices of society. The essay lets the reader know what it was like to be a black woman in the early 1900s.
The essay starts off with little Zora feeling proud of her ability to entertain people (the white people who visit her community & her fellows in Eatonville) and then she discovers the prejudices of the big city. But she does not let this get her down. She has more gumption to deal with discrimination than an average person. This essay shows a persona that is ready to take on the world. Hurston is a badass. She will not be put down. She will not be pushed around. She will fight for what she deserves and will take names as she does so. I love this fact. I love this essay because of how the narrator symbolizes a true warrior. It is amazing to realize that this person was feeling this way back in the 1900s. She seems like someone who I would like to call my friend today. She is a role model for all who suffer from any type of prejudice.
