Sally Keehn Summary

Indigenous stories are not created to answer every inquiry, however they do engender questions as the listener identifies. Indian stories accede the listener to deviate to the storyteller. Written narratives are fact oriented thus promulgating answers rather than generating questions. King epitomes oral narratives from Native and non-native speakers in written form, exemplifying different dialogic relationships to damages caused by industrial societies.

For example, Adichie starts off her speech by painting a picture of her childhood and illustrating how she would only write about white people because that was what she was all she knew. When she finally read African books, it gave her a sense of hope, because she was able to identify with the characters. Adichie goes on to tell the audience stories of the times she was also guilty of stereotyping due to her lack of knowledge about others stories. In addition, she begins to question stereotypes and how they could be prevented by asking simple questions that help the reader better understand her perspective. Lastly, she goes on to tell us that stories are important and that we need to keep an open mind on others and their stories.

Language is used all around the world. Men and women have various ways of using language. There are many factors in using language such as: regional, ethic, and class backgrounds; gender; and age (Tannen 214). Deborah Tannen “How Male and Female Students Use Language differently” elaborates on this topic adequately. Tannen elaborates male and female language patterns, the debate type teaching formats used in college classrooms, and the different male and female attitudes toward vocal expressions exercises used in the classroom that creates a dissatisfying environment for females. Ms. Tannen mainly focuses on the languages differences of men and women. She concludes that different classroom strategies need to be studied and applied in order to accentuate and improve student participation in the classroom from both males and females. In analyzing this paper, three things are evident. One must consider how men and women bond differently, how speaking in a classroom is more adaptable to men in a debate scenario, and how men and women communicate and participate in a group exercise

“The Roots of Debate in Education and the Hope of Dialogue” by Deborah Tannen is about how our society focuses heavily on debate and how it affects our education system. There are many different styles of debate and Tannen points out that our society spends too much time attempting to prove people wrong instead of considering the other side’s point of view. Tannen talks about the Chinese approach in a debate mentioned in a book written by Walter Ong. During the classical period of China, the preferred style of debate was exposition rather than argument. Their goal was to enlighten the opposing side rather than overwhelm them with information.

Louise Erdrich is an author that specializes in writing literature that features Native American characters, the Chippewa Nation, and multicultural backgrounds. This stems from the fact that Erdrich herself is of Native American and German descent. Erdrich knows what she writes and has developed a particular writing style that is flavored by strong characterization and a careful focus on thematic features. (” Reading between Worlds: Narrativity in the Fiction of Louise Erdrich”.) By far, though, her real strength lies within her use of symbolism to represent important

1. The book starts with the main character, Colin Singleton, washed up on his bedroom carpet, devastated after being dumped for the nineteenth time by a girl called Katherine. Not the same girl of course, but by nineteen different Katherines. Everyone has their type of girl.

Nina Jablonski is a American anthropologist from Penn State, and one who is known for her knowledge on the skin color of humans and the diversity among them. In her Ted Talk video she talks from the perspective of Charles Darwin and all the work he did and that of which he lacked the subject of skin diversity. In the video she tells how Charles Darwin, a man who was born into a very privileged situation and in most of his work, he explained how there was a coalition between the distance of living from the equator and the pigmentation of one's skin and not by one's climate. However when it comes to the fact of where there is an exposure of ultraviolet radiation and the amount of (UVA,UVB and UVC) one receives. In the northern part of Africa

In a thoroughly humanist approach, Ms. Eldrige narrates each chapter in a different voice, and through extremely varied characters effectively shows the diversity of the Indians. This is an important aspect of the novel, as it demonstrates that there is no single stereotypical "Indian". The book begins with two scenes from a modern perspective, showing a turbulent family with fairly disturbing problems. Then the author flashes back to the lives of the Chippewa's family two generations

relationship with a white woman. There is also a lot of contrast between the way Native Americans are seen all through the story and in the reservation.

She writes about the mistreatment of Native Americans to a great extent in Cimarron. Sabra?s son was particularly fond of them and when arguing with his mother?s family said, ?Indians don?t fight white men anymore. They can?t. Their, uh, spirit is broken. they only fought in the first place because the white men took their buff?loes away from them, that they lived on and ate and traded the skins and that was all the had, and their land away from them? (Ferber 150). All of her novels are read as a celebration of Americana, when she is actually writing about unfair treatment of the underdog, such as the Jew, the Negro, the Indian, or the strength of the American woman, who would persevere and survive alone even when the man in her life deserted her. Both themes are deeply rooted in her own life? (Shapiro 9).

The white settlers are represented as ignorant, patronising and disempowering, not only the indigenous people, but the land itself. The white settlers treated both the land and its people the same way, something that can be overcome and controlled. This is juxtaposed by the Indigenous ideals, we believe that we must work together to the land to survive, we have a spiritual bond with

The podcasts revolve around the hidden busy world beneath the forest, which generally feels like a quiet and still place, but little do people realize the networked activities that take place now and then. Suzanne Simard who is a forest ecologist discovered the fascinating world beneath the dark forest. Surprisingly, her work is founded on a discovery made while their family dog got trapped in the forest. This led to the realization of the strange environment built by interconnected ground network formed by the tree's roots of different shapes and colors.

This is showing that even though they have had some very disgraceful actions happen that their culture is not as corrupted as the white men. This shows that the natives actually have morals, and that that even when the white men had betrayed them and had ruined an important religious ceremony that they can forgive them.

In order to forecast the value of the stock option package, determining the call price is initially. There are two approaches to calculate the call price for each option, black-scholes and binominal pricing. In addition, the current stock price, exercise price, time of option, annualized interest rate, and the riskiness of the stock are the inputs for either approach. In the market, the current price is $18.75. It is much lower than the 5 year-offer exercise price for each option which is $35. Besides, the risk free rate is 6.02% for the 5-year Treasury bill (Exhibit 4). As well, the stock
