Johnathan Anthropology
In the summer of ‘69, Woodstock had just begun when Jonathan Wells arrived with his makeshift garage band in tow. Johnathan’s band had the main parts of any good band. They just weren’t creative enough to get that heart beating, fist pumping, head nodding music that was absolutely necessary for any garage group to find. There was Tommy on the drums. He never really learned to play. All he could do was memorize solos and didn’t contribute at all to the creative pot. Cyrus rocked the bass, but as the same with Tommy, he just wasn’t creative enough to do anything more than memorize his riffs and occasionally scream out the chorus. Cyrus, unlike Tommy though, did learn to play at the crisp age of 13.

Johnathan, on the other hand, was what people call a guitar prodigy. He was the one who convinced his friends to join this band of his anyways. The creativity from Johnathan was astounding; he could pick up a guitar and instantly start rocking, bringing lyrics from his mind and putting them in the smoothest way, in perfect correlation with the guitar. He began playing at the age of five, took lessons at seven, got too good for his teachers at nine, and

    El Loro Anthropology

    The excavation of El Loro unearthed numerous old artifacts. It uncovered pots, bottles, textiles, grinding stones, and numerous other items once used by this lands inhabitants. Based on the law of superposition we know that the stratum furthest down is the oldest and the stratum closest to the surface is the newest. Another fact that we have for excavation is the law of association stating that, items near one another or in the same stratum are from the same time period. From those facts it can be determined that stratum that includes stone tools are from the oldest time period, then the pottery and textiles are from the middle time period, and lastly the painted items are all from one time period. As time progresses the sophistication behind the items unearthed grows. It starts with rock, then becomes handcrafted clay items, then painted and decorated items showing the progression of this civilization. There are also a couple of skeletons buried that show how the people treated their dead. If I were to run this excavation I would have used the total coverage strategy due to the density of artifacts in this area. It would be more expensive and damaging but it would allow us to find all of the artifacts by time period stratum by stratum. Of course there would be part left untouched for the future archeologists and their new technology…

    His mom was a significant part of his life because she raised him and gave him the loved he needed, although, they did not have much with, to begin with. Growing up all he had was his mom, siblings, and maybe even that other mom who was in the movie. Also, it was heartbreaking to see that he did not have a father figure in his life. “Within the family, children learn the language, skills, and social and moral values of their culture” (Berk, pg. 68).…

    Anthropologist George Murdock gathered information from studies previous anthropologist have done using hundreds of groups around the world (page 56). They compared several areas of customs. It seems that although several customs such as incest taboos, toilet training, marriage and others were in some way apart of each culture they were viewed differently. Some cultures define family different, things as simple as toilet training, disposing of the dead. All these things I have always assumed were universal, but it seems that they are not. The views on incest is the one that caught my attention the most, some cultures find it acceptable to allow fathers to marry their own daughters (Labarre 1954)(page 56), or mother's having sex with their…

    In the essay, "The Anthropological looking Glass" by Nancy Scheper-Hughes, the author enters an Irish village, dubbing it "Ballybran", and conducts analysis and investigation among the people in the village and writes a book on what she sees. The way she wrote the book however was for not just fellow anthropologists to read, but the village people as well. They do not take kindly to the way she presented them because of many truths she reveals to them and each other and could have also lead to a few stereotypes. The perception that Scheper-Hughes gives of their village could in a way had become a stereotype in itself for readers outside the village in other countries of what they could think is a typical Irish village all because of a simple miscommunication.…

    Jimi Hendrix Purple Haze

    • 402 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The three piece band that is the Jimi Hendrix Experience packed an explosive musical punch with “Purple Haze”, a track that is notable for its profound musical improvisation. Yet at the same time, the song does retain many supportive qualities that accompany the improvisation, such as a consistent bass groove, and a drum part which closely follows a pattern of cyclicity as it progresses throughout the song. It’s also worth noting that Jimi’s guitar always has that rough, edgy guitar sound to it and that the drums encompass a dry quality in sound both in the drums and cymbals used and the bass has that traditional classic rock sound that chugs along throughout the track.…

    All the theories that these scientist have are very reasonable explanations to how the species of elephant died to if it was killed by humans. The one thing about the article that catches my attention is that they can’t seem to find what caused the elephant’s bones to be crushed or signs of activity of harm? Was it caused by humans, or was it caused by something else? Considering the time frame, it could easily be caused by human activity. What contradicts this theory it that there was no sign of them needing a food source, but humans being the only species other than it’s own can cause harm to the elephant. This is important because scientist need to know how people lived back then, and what they did to shape today’s world.…

    One of the first people that led me to become the musician is my friend Robert, his friends called him Bobby. At the time, I knew nothing of music. All the music you would attach the label of classic to, I knew nothing of. It’s possible the thought of how I ended up being asked to join the band came to your mind and the answer to that is he needed anybody. Bobby wanted anybody to take the place of bass player or at least so I think. When you add up the facts that he asked somebody he barely knew and on top of that had knowledge of their lack of skill, it all equals up to the fact he was a little desperate. He could have asked some of the other players in the classroom we met in, and I’m sure he did, but he asked me. Thinking back on it thought, there is a bit of randomness from my end since I agreed to be in his band. To this day I don’t exactly know why I agreed. I could speculate on why, it’s possible I just wanted the trill of something new. Another possible reason is just wanted to belong to a group since I only knew 1 other person at the…
