Essay #2 w/ Two response DIBARRA

Life hadn't been so pleasently blissful in regards to our way of food consumption and production. Prior food production, early humans had to go out and hunt each meal; unlike todays herders and producers. Hunter-Gatherers had hardships during the past 11,000 years as wild animals had slowly but surely started to dissappear. This alone had caused the newly founded usage of food production which involved: the domestication of wild animals, and the use of horticulture to produce crops.

The Ambush of Attahuallpa DRAFT

intro: Chapter 3 of Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond tells the story of Atahuallpa: The Emperor who was praised as the god of the sun by the millions who he ruled over. He was the sovereign ruler of the most advanced civilization in the new world and commanded an immense army of over 80,000 soldiers.

Casey Henderson's Draft

Into:
In the second chapter of Jared Diamond’s novel Guns, Germs, and, Steel: the Fate of Human Societies, Diamond talks about two different populations who both started as Polynesians. By describing exactly how these two groups of people, the Maori and the Moriori, became at war with each other, in a bigger picture, he is explaining a case of a natural experiment and how environments affect human society as a whole.

Watchmen: Peace through Fear?

Chapter 1 Summary for Understanding Comics

Scott McCloud, in the book “Understanding Comics” gives us a perspective into the world of comics, by first

giving us a short history of how he was first introduced to them, saying that he used to think of them as

“Childish Fodder”. A closer look, however, proved to be fundamental to his progression through the literary

type. Instead of seeing comics as just a bunch of words put with pictures, he chooses to go further back to

even Mayan and Egyptian times, showing that pictorial stories with juxtaposition did start in a different

Chapter One Summary Understanding Comics

Until the eighth grade McCloud thought of comics as “not real” books he is Seeking to take comics past the stereotype of “kiddie fare.” To truly define comics you must focus on the medium and not the object of the panels. Will Eisner uses the term “sequential art” to describe comics. Sadly critical examination of comics has been rare. McCloud describes comics as juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and or to produce an aesthetic response to the viewer. The space between panels in comics is the same as time is for a film.
