Many men in the epic dismiss women’s abilities, or the possibility that they could be equals. Often, they write women off as not being intelligent. When Vali, the monkey king’s brother, tells his wife, Tara, that “the only reason to consult a woman is to find out what not to do” (Buck 196), implying that women cannot understand life or have authority. Vali completely ignores the validity of Tara’s argument because he perceives her, and all women, to be less intelligent than he. Vali’s opinion in this scene speaks to the larger view of women’s intellect throughout this epic. Women are also

The story about Mutjinga, a woman of spiritual and asomatous power, is a tale that seeks to explain the relationships between men and women in early Australian societies, while also tying these motifs and themes into the greater collective Dreamtime cosmology of the Aboriginals. This story suggests that women and men did not hold tantamount positions within their early societies - justifying the superiority of men, while also implying that there was a time when women had the upper hand, and may return to challenge male authority once again. To explain, the myth illustrates that in the Dreamtime land of the Murinbata people, a place existed where an old woman named Mutjinga, a woman of power, lived. Aboriginals believed that all the things in the world had both a palpable physical form as well as a spirit form, which was invisible. When living things passed away, it was regarded that their spirits went to a secret cave, of which Mutjinga was the caretaker; and only Mutjinga had the power to speak with these spirits. The tale insinuates, that women, such as Mutjinga, once had the power and authority over men, because they possessed abilities men did not have. As evidenced in “The Man-Eater: The Mutjinga Myth,” “Mutjinga could speak with the spirits. Because she had this power, she could do many things which men could not. [...] The men feared the power of Mutjinga and did not consort with her. They called upon her to lead their dances and teach them songs, but none came to

Bashana Haba’ah was composed by Nurit Hurish, composer of over 1,000 songs and one of Israel’s most prolific and diverse composers, in 1967. This piece in particular comes from Israel and is a Hebrew song. Jewish music first originated in the Middle East area about 2,000 years ago, specifically in the land of Israel, and has continued to spread from there, soon reaching America, where we now sing and perform it today. Something interesting about this piece is that it was written shortly after the Six-Day War and a lot of the poetry throughout the piece creates a very strong image of a world in peace, without war.

During World War 2, Kahoʻolawe was used as a training ground and bombing range by the Army. After decades of protests, the U.S Navy ended live-fire training exercises on Kahoʻolawe in 1990, and the whole island was transferred to the jurisdiction of the State of Hawaii in 1994. The KIRC(Kaho’olawe Island Reserve Commission) is now taking care of Kaho’olawe and its island.Sometime around the year 1000, Kahoʻolawe was settled by Polynesians, and small, temporary fishing communities were established along the coast. While it is not known how many people inhabited Kahoʻolawe, the lack of freshwater, probably limited the population to a few hundred people. Also, Kahoʻolawe became a men's penal colony sometime around 1830. Food and water were scarce,

Baba Joon is the newly released movie by writer/director Yuval Delshad. With a film career that grew from the documentary world, this is his first feature. Never one to shy from reality, Delshad turned to a subject that spoke to his heart; the father/son relationship. To create authenticity, the movie is filmed in the dusty village where Delshad grew up and the actors speak a blend of Hebrew and Farsi, just like it was in the 1980’s of his childhood. Delshad loves the fact that life imitates art, “My baby, Yitamar, was conceived during the start of photography and he is already trying to crawl!”

The upper-class society of Brazil gives Jardim Gramacho a bad name, one that Muniz disputes, emphasizing it as a place for the lower-class. Jardim Gramacho is seen as a place for people of low-quality and for the those who have nothing to lose or left to give, but by Muniz using the garbage and other materials found around Jardim Gramacho, he displays how beautiful this wasteland is and how important the people who live there are. When talking to his wife Muniz says, "Check out the geography of this thing. This is the end of the line, this is where everything that is not good goes. Including the people."(Wasteland) By saying this Muniz is implying that living in Jardim Gramacho is depicted as a negative place and people that are not fortunate to have money or have nothing left to live for are condemned to living there and are seen by the outside society as bad or worthless lives. The reason fom Muniz creating his sculptures out of the garbage from Jardim Gramacho is to show that there is something beautiful within the garbage which is the people. For example, one of the sculptures Muniz creates is of a man named Zumbi. The sculpture shows Zumbi smiling throwing grain out of one of the bag that the packers carry around. In the documentary Zumbi says, "Before coming to the land field we had an easy life."(Wasteland) He talks about how is parents were still alive and together and how life was good. Then one day his father died and he

Born February 19, 1473 in Thorn, Prussia, which is today known as Torun, Poland, to his father Mikolaj (Nicolaus) Kopernik and his mother Barbara Watzenrode,. He was born into a family that lived off of the commerce of the area. Unfortunately, his father died in 1483 and Nicolaus was taken under the guardianship, along with his brother Andreas, of his uncle Bishop Lucas Watzenrode of Ermland (Warmia) (Urban 1). Their uncle gave them the opportunity to be able to provide them with positions in the church, which resulted in making them have to receive a university education in order to hold such a position. Therefore “ Bishop Lucas sent the boys to study in Krakow, then in Italy” and “Nicolaus not only became a master of mathematics and astronomy but acquired knowledge of medicine, painting, and Greek” (Urban 1). Had Mikolaj not died in 1483, the two of them would have entered careers in commerce and possibly never would have further pursued any education. After receiving an education, he made his return to Prussia in 1503 and Latinized his name. He then became one of the canons in the Ermland cathedral chapter and managed his uncle’s diocese for several years. Later down the road, he eventually announced that he had a greater interest in being an astronomer than becoming a bishop. Yet he

Authors go about proving the theme of their writing in different ways. Thus a way of proving this is through a reward system where the author writes how the character is rewarded for doing or accomplishing the themes purpose. In the text Mother to son by Langston Hughes the mother has gone through a rough and hard life and she was rewarded for never giving up and pushing on throughout her life. For example, in the text the mother said, “I’se still climbin.” This quote shows how she is still not done pushing through life. Also, In the text it stated, “Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.” Therefore she was rewarded with the wisdom she gained throughout living, gifted with having a son to then share her experience with, influence and survival. In comparison, in the clip Mouse Survives Trap it showed a clip of a mouse who had a mousetrap that snapped down onto him and how the mouse had pushed the trap up and down off of him to continue to live. Therefore, the mouse was rewarded for not giving up and dieing on the mousetrap with survival, cheese,wisdom and power. Also, in the text Caged Bird by Maya Angelou connected a lot to the author Maya Angelou. The bird who was captured reflected much on how she felt in her life. For example, the caged bird was rewarded by never giving up through life and being captured much like how Angelou never gave up in her life aside from being raped and experiencing a

Parvez migrated from Pakistan before he got his son. They now live in London, England, where Ali was born and raised. Working as a taxi driver Parvez haven’t had an ease getting money, but with dedication, he has raised enough money for his son to get the dream education as an accountant. But lately Ali has acted significantly different. A change from what you would call a normal Western cultured teen who plays sports and video games to a muslim fanatic who prays five times a day. It is this change that starts the statement of problems represented in the story. Parvez deeply wants to embrace his son with all the
