Chapter three of Ancestral Lines begins with Barker being taught how to paint a Tapa (a personally designed cloth) by two elder women, as the process is explained Barker compares the Tapa cloth to society “composed of basic elements that fit together to produce a whole.” (Barker 2017:75) Barker also breaks down the “three key facets of contemporary social organization: The socialization of children into gendered adults, the formation of kin- based groups and categories, and the formation of alliance between groups through marriage exchanges and life crisis ceremonies.” (Barker 2017:75-76) Things to note about children in general and as socialized gendered adults: when a child is born, they are not considered ‘socially human’ and are believed to be vulnerable to attacks from spirits because their souls are not yet attached to their bodies. Mothers are the main source of care. Girls are often put to work first, assisting their mothers with cooking, cleaning, and caring for infants. Boys contrastingly help their fathers with hunting, building, and protecting. While inequality is prevalent, women are not without power and enjoy high levels of security and influence. They also believe that men

Jacob was partial to Joseph because he was the oldest child of his most loved wife and this caused him to be thought of poorly by his brothers.

Leah Price, the second oldest daughter of the four. Leah is the opposite of Rachel, I would say that she is most like her mother, obedient to her father and doing what is Holy.

Rachel is a survivor of the Holocaust. She has lost all her family except for grandfather and her younger brother, Yacov. In the concentration camps, the Nazi took advantage of her in the most horrifying way. They beat and branded her. After the war, she was released and smuggled into Palestine. She had hoped to reunited with her grandfather but instead she was put in a home with many other families. The Jews, her own people, shunned her and would go near her. They called her horrible things like tradior and Nazi. They bullied her until she thought she was worthless, unloved, and ugly inside and out. Rachel closed herself off from others. It was through her friends, family, and faith that she finally started to heal. This process was not easy.

Another brother story in the Bible is that of Esau and Jacob. The prophecy of these brothers was that the younger would rule the elder. Esau was a hairy man that was skillful in the hunter – gatherer ways and Jacob was somewhat of a “mamas boy”. One day while their father Isaac was dying he told Esau that he would bless him. Jacob then deceitfully went into the place of his father and was blessed as if he was Esau. When Esau returned he was very upset and was going to kill his brother. Jacob fled and was out of touch with his brother for a long time. Then Jacob sent word to meet his brother again and heard that Esau followed by 400 men were coming to him. Afraid and distressed about what Esau might do, Jacob had a dream in which he wrestled with God and was there blessed. With the new name of Israel he met his brother Esau and gave him many gifts. Esau came to his bother in open arms not needing any gifts because the only gift he wanted was to see his brother. Again united Esau and Israel showed that being brothers was more important than any childhood feud.
