Number One Day: A Short Story

In A Single Shard, Tree-ear was a boy or adolescent that is growing yet starving and loves to watch a potter work. However, he does not realize the work it takes for this potter, and all potters. At least he does not until he breaks a pot and works for the potter and realized the hard work it is to get the clay and “fire” the clay, but he has not been given the opportunity to make a vase. This previous statement is stated well on page 20, line 16-19,” Chopping wood for hours without a single bite to eat had been hard enough. But the worst that day was the long trip back down the mountainside with the cart full of wood.” The impressive thing is that throughout this process he is relatively happy even though his work is painstaking for a grown man that gets paid.

In the film Number Our Days, Barbara Myerhoff studies a community of elderly Jews in Venice, CA. This ethnography contrasts much of Myerhoff’s earlier work and the work of many anthropologists as she studies members of her own ethnic group. This raises some interesting points since Myerhoff is not fully an “outsider” of their community. The audience likely received more information from the interviewees because Myerhoff had a greater instant rapport with them and was able to gain their trust. Furthermore, the tone of the film was made more personable as she tried to find her own identity and sense of belonging throughout her fieldwork.

“No human being could have passed a happier childhood than myself. My parents were possessed by the very spirit of kindness and indulgence. We felt that they were not the tyrants to rule our lot according to their caprice, but the agents and creators of all the many delights which we enjoyed. When I mingled with other families I distinctly discerned how peculiarly fortunate my lot was, and gratitude assisted the development of filial love.”

You would also need the graphite which they get from South America. What Milton is trying to explain to the audience is that there are many processes included in the process of making a pencil, but no one actually know how to make a

Him and his family were driving to the mall and they got into an accident. His Mom and Dad both died and Ernie was very depressed. He got the notes, of what made the car accident happen, an inspection failure with the Engine. He did not know what to do with his life. He almost committed suicide, but then out of rage, the decided he was going to make the person who caused the car accident. He went searching for months, and finally came to the conclusion that the person that last assessed the car was Eddie Thompson.

He also uses the visual element of “Shape and Mass.” The trees are 3D representation of actual trees. They are over 40 foot tall and very heavy; therefore they consume a large amount of volume and mass. The trees appear to be constructed from geometric shapes but also try to follow the form of nature in a more organic way.

The towering stack of chopped wood sat sturdily. The hard work that the person spent on stacking the pile paid off for a gorgeous work of art. The two trees express unity; without the two inosculated trees the pile would have no

When John came to me, I saw him as hopeless because of how he carried and conducted himself. I saw his deficiencies and ignore his potentialities. “The Woodcarver” found the hidden potential in the tree and with all his tools in hand was able to create a grand masterpiece that had everyone astonished. We cannot prejudge but we should think of the resources available and how we are going to make these precious woods into bell stands, grand masterpieces ready for society.

The tree metaphor also refers to the role of customs in the growth of an individual. Mill gives three reasons why customs may not be adequate to be employed by an individual: first, the interpretation of the customs may not be right; second, his circumstances may be "uncustomary" to the customs; and third, the customs may not have any role in educating him about the qualities of being human. Therefore, under different circumstances, the customs may or may not be adequate to be learnt, like the circumstances and nutrients may or may not be sufficient
