Throughout the movie I realized that I was very wrong and that this new family had a lot to learn from each other. By the end of the story I could truly see that the everything that happened between the characters would always be with them the rest of their life. Both Walter and his uncles learned a great deal about life which all of them needed to know.…

    The book Through African Eyes by Leon E. Clark, allows Africans to speak through many autobiographies, poetry, newspaper and magazine articles, letters, diaries, and many more sources in four different parts.

    West African Culture

    • 411 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Richard Franke argues that traditional West African cultures invented better adaptations to their environments than were developed later through outside, Western Influences. As is stated in the first page, "the historical record so far suggests strongly that Western policies have been major contributors to the current degraded state of the Sahel that renders its food production systems so vulnerable to shifts in the weather." (Franke, p. 257) The thought, is that this is because we do not have the historical background or scientific knowledge to do what was envisioned. The relationship between the herder and the farmer is very important and something that you have to be very careful with when trying to find a solution.…
