that our ancestors were not great hunters, but scavengers that roamed the savanna looking for leftovers. Pat Shipman, discusses how it would be possible for early hominids to survive as strangers and how this method of cultivation affected human evolution. Shipman, uses the marks that stone tools, and teeth would make on the bones of prey animals as evidence for her hypothesis. She theorizes that early hominids weren't mighty hunter, but cunning scavengers. If Shipman is correct and humans evolved from

The poem ‘Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in a Mercedes’ has been chosen to be compared to ‘Nothing’s Changed’.

Half Caste and Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in a Mercedes Of the two poems from the other cultures booklet, I have decided to compare “Half-caste” by John Agard and “Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in a Mercedes” by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. In this essay I will discuss the meaning of the two poems and what the poet is trying to get the reader to think and / or realise. The poem describes four people held together for a moment at a red traffic light. There
The two poems I am comparing are Two Scavengers in a truck, Two Beautiful people in a Mercedes', written by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, which shows the contrast between rich and poor in San Francisco, and Nothings Changed', written by Tatamkhulu Afrika. Nothing's Changed' is an autobiographical poem about a man returning to the town he grew up in as an adult, and how everything is still the same. The tone of Two Scavengers' changes between sombre, when the poet is describing the two garbage men
'can scroungers', 'Dumpster divers', and 'scavengers.' (Eighner, 1993). In addition, Eighner's blatant demonstration of his superiority to the people he scavenges from reveals his true character of snobbery. Although Eighner reveals that his chosen lifestyle was to live on another's refuge, he kept in accordance with his acts of superiority and snobbishness by excluding himself from the term "Dumpster Diving." Instead, he preferred to be called a "scavenger because of its frankness in the term." (Eighner
As depicted by Mayberry (2009) Lars Eighner began dumpster diving for food a year before he became homeless the first time in 1988 and again in 1995 but prefers the term scavenger, which he feels is a “sound and honorable niche” (p.351). It is not clear from this excerpt why he started scavenging for food long before he became homeless nor what led to him become homeless either time, however one could surmise that it was from
within (49)." Anse is often unshaven, dirty, seeming dark and dreary. He is selfish and continually on the prowl, like a culture, for more money and extravagance. The Latin meaning for the word "vulture" is the basic nature of these birds: breeze scavengers. Rarely flapping their large wings, vultures cruise by on air currents, searching for dead animals to eat. Anse grabs Addie's attention by driving past the school house watching Addie. He drives by, trying to catch a glimpse, almost stalking her
be difficult to connect with the text and author if he had said that he went through peoples trash for blackmail or something of the sort and it would also be difficult if he had treated his dog poorly. The development of his character, the noble scavenger, may not add to the story in a truly significant way but it does make sure that the reader can't look down upon Lars in a negative light, ethically speaking that is. When he speaks of his belief that digging through personal trash is a bit inappropriate
A GPS treasure hunt. Can you think of anything more exciting? It's like an Indiana Jones-style scavenger hunt. This style of treasure hunt brings to mind the movie Scavenger Hunt from 1979. (Yes. I saw that as a child, which makes me 46 this year.) *coughs* Anyway. The Basics of the GPS Treasure Hunt A treasure hunt with your GPS is called geocaching. That's pronounced (jee oh cashing). Instead of a treasure map with a large X to mark the spot like pirates use to bury treasure, people hide

Some people will say that people live on earth to work and others will say that they work in order to live. In Ana Castillo’s poem, “Napa California” and Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s poem, “Two Scavengers in a Truck, Two Beautiful People in a Mercedes” these people work to live. The characters don’t have any other choice. The poets use imagery, tone, and symbols to show that the work that the characters take on in both poems is inequitable, unfulfilling, and obliterating them. To begin with, Castillo
part of the University of the People and so glad to have such enthusiastic and positive people to go through university with! I hope to graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and become part of the technological revolution. The Scavenger Hunt was interesting, the most important thing I learned while completing it was how much information is available through the Student Portal, which is very helpful. Many of my questions can be answered just by visiting the Student Portal and looking
Raking both hands through his loose hair, his elbows pointing almost to the ceiling, Loki stopped a moment. Closing his eyes, he took in a deep breath. With both hands clasped at the back of his neck, he was well aware of the picture he presented to Tony. All long lines, slender, but with well sculpted muscles, long blue black hair contrasting with his pale skin, now delicately flushed from the heat of the room. And tall. While he was attracted to all the rest, Tony had a weakness for those that
The U.S Scavenger - 12 but most people called it the Scavenger. It was one of the biggest mining vessels to ever exist. It can hold over 1,000 tons of cargo along with over 200 people. Over the most recent voyage the people aboard the Scavenger have found fresh new resources. It’s been two weeks since the mining operation started and it’s been a huge success. Building materials and good conductors were all over this planet, even though it was frozen over there were berries able to grow in extremely
CERCLA stands for the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, or more commonly known as the Superfund. The Superfund created a tax on the chemical and petroleum industries and provided broad Federal authority to respond directly to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances that may endanger public health or the environment, and was enacted by Congress on December 11, 1980. On October 17, 1986 CERCLA was amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization
“Remember that on Earth we try not to kill our enemies if it can be helped,” Steve reminded Fandral. “I thought your berserker had already killed several Zeta Reticulans.” “The ones he killed attacked us. Besides, piss off the Hulk and you deserve what you get.” Loki smiled. “I am saying this as someone who has pissed off the Hulk.” “I never thought anyone could be that good a sport about being smashed,” Bruce mused. When the Avengers (plus Fandral) arrived at the grey hideout in Arizona, a small
Sociological Scavenger Hunt: Item 5 Objectification of women and misogyny is a common trend in song lyrics, but it is often socially accepted and further perpetuated. Finding a song in which the roles are reversed and a woman depicts a man as a sex object is incredibly difficult because when women try to break norms in the music industry, they are often criticized. In “Blah Blah Blah” by Kesha, she reverses the typical gender roles in song lyrics by objectifying men. Kesha has her own struggles
Predators, prey, and scavengers that are native to the same area will not harm the population of each other’s species nor harm the environment if unprovoked. The food chain, if undisrupted, is a complex system of animals that remained perfectly stable before humans intervened and began to damage ecosystems and the population of animals that live in a specific ecosystem. As humans began to intervene, species began to die off at a more rapid pace that affected all ecosystems around the world. Many
The Scavenger Life Essayist, Lars Eighner, in his prize-winning essay, "On Dumpster Diving," discusses his experience as a homeless person. Eighner's purpose is to convey the idea that society needs to be less materialistic and place emphasis on items with "sentimental value" (387). He wants society to not get caught up in materials and live life to the fullest. Eighner creates an informative and educated tone to convince readers that dumpster diving is a honest, not greedy or selfish, "modern
Chapter 4-The Hunt aka i feel like shit but this is still gonna be LIT “Now this is more like it!” Lucii-Ann was practically bouncing with excitement for her newly forged “spear”. It was just a large branch, now with a sharpened point of stone tied to the end but, well, it was better than nothing. “I could gut something with this!” “Yeah, a small bug maybe,” Seventeen muttered, who was a bit less optimistic about their chances. She tightened her grip on her
