1. How would you describe Jacob Walter's style of writing?  Remember that this is a diary.  Is this the sort of way you would write a diary?

It is very dramatic and it shows the situation with really well-placed mood and tone words. The writer portrays the desperateness of the situation really well through his writing. The parts that he chose to write about are really great for the story, using great words t0o describe what he was doing, with the tone of sadness it is really well done.

2.  What is a worry that Jacob shares?  What about his setting (physical, temporal, historical) makes this worry unique?  Can you see/feel the humanness in this worry?

He shared a worry about his being at the back of the herd of people, he was on horseback and he said that he was lucky because he saw people get mugged at the back of the line and he didn't want that to happen to him. He decided to stick to the front and to the middle so if someone was robbed he wouldn't because he was at the front and middle of the group. He expressed the worry at the start of the story, so you can tell that he was worried about it throughout the writings.




3.  What is a hardship that Jacob endures?  Provide a quote (first three words, last word, page number).  What stood out to you as interesting or difficult concerning this hardship?  Could you imagine yourself responding in the same way or differently?

He had to deal with the many things that he had brought with him as seen on the left middle side of page 5. He was starving and cold, as seen throughout the reading, he complains about the harsh conditions and how he was forced to deal with them. Having no supply drops by other soldiers was a plus because they had money provided but he didn't want to deal with the reality of having no food as well.

4.  What does Jacob reveal about the human need for camaraderie?  How do the violence and constant movement of the war influence what camaraderie looks like here?

He talked about having one comrade named Sch, and how Sch treated him more than himself, giving him the food that he needed to survive the night of page 6, left side.

Cultural Anthropology blog

 India Riley Mr.Roddy IHSS September 2, 2021 Anthropology blog     My article was about wildfires. All across the Mediterranean fires are increasingly becoming larger, and more dangerous. This could be due to many different causes, the most likely is human inflicted. Because of climate change the chances of a fire have significantly increased. While farming is practical and beneficial for food, most farming strategies have become more harmful than good for our environment. The chemical pesticides and fertilizers are extremely flammable, with just one spark the entire field could burst into flame within minutes. When dedicating a large amount of land to farmland or cattle range, its safe to assume that at some point that will be engulfed in a fire. Rarely a field could emerge to flames even if a human hasn't touched it, because plants release so much oxygen, too much of any sort of plant could combust to flames during drought seasons or lightning storms significantly...

Prisoner of The Infidels

  Niko Cantu Mr. Rodey IHSS 21 October 2021 Prisoner of The Infidels 1）Osman’s writing is far more modern than other writings from his time. It has a very direct and straightforward structure and its translation to English is paractly identical to modern English writing. An example of this direct writing was when Osman said “From this, I understood God's will,namly, that my master had no intention of ever granting me freedom”. This sentence for one use I as he refers to himself in the first person, which was not very common during that time.   2) Osman is clearly very connected to his Muslim religon and repedidly mentions Allah throughou the story. A clear example of this use is when he says “I have no money, and no one is going to help me because of Allah''. This is a clear example of how SOman instinctively believes that Allah may not have an effect on his current situation, he thinks of Allah as a part of his daily life.  3) A discussion that Osman had to make was...

IHSS reading Prisoner of the Infidels Ira Williams

  Ira Williams Mr.Roddy October 27, 2021 IHSS IHSS reading Prisoner of the Infidels Pick a section to note the style of his writing.  How would you characterize it? The writing was very descriptive and rough at the same time, it made you see and picture the things he was going through and realize how bad it was. It was very humbling to read how he was beaten and imprisoned in a cell with his hand and feet shackled, on his stomach too. What role does his religion play in his thinking?  Give an example. He was very risky in what he did because he had is divine wisdom and foresight to guide him, as well as Allah to fall back on . one instance of this is when he “saw” people surrounding the city and so he slid along a frozen lake to another town, where he hid in a barrel. What is a decision that he had to make?  Do you think it was a good one? Why or why not? When he left his old master, I think that he should have stayed, he was treated pretty well, even was given some ...
