Pick a section to note the style of his writing. How would you characterize it?

    I chose to look at PG 72 paragraph 3. This as-well as other paragraphs were interesting to me because the seemed to switch between a narrator talking about what was happening and actually living in the moment. I think that this is cool because it varies and shows detail through the dialogue and also helps us see the greater picture through the narative.

What role does his religion play in his thinking?  Give an example.

    His Religion is what keeps him going in my opinion, because his goal is to get to Bosnia and thinking about that is what keeps him happy. PG 3 “....You'll be seeing your fellow muslims in 2-3 days’ I was greatly encouraged to hear this” But his religion also gives him challenges that he needs to overcome like his clothing for example.

What is a decision that he had to make?  Do you think it was a good one? Why or why not?

    On page 69 he was conflicted with spreading his seed with women. It is interesting that he made this decision because sometimes he looked at it thinking that he was said that he let the opportunities get away, but sometimes he thought it would just be disrespectful.

How does Osman's experience help us understand history?  Why is his experience important?

    Because it shows us what is was like to be a muslim and to be a slave back then. It also just gives us a general idea of what was happening at the time.

Cultural Anthropology blog

   Nate Savarese Mr. Roddy IHSS 31 August 2021 Cultural Anthropology Blog      I read cultural anthropology blog Vol. 36 No. 2 (2021). T his blog covers many different topics. One of these topics is about things such as rural places in the world that use the labor of inmates to produce value in their economy. An example of this is rural places in new jersey where the inequalities of the inmates challenge the work that they must do to make a living. This article also has an example of when people studied ethnography in Japan. In Japan there are Buddhists that sell pet robots such as robot dogs, to people to re-define the boundaries between  life, death, amusement, and play. I have been wondering if society would accept robot dogs or cats as replacements for real ones. I think that this would offer the trade between personality and functionality. In Bolivia Juliane muller offers the thought of large corporate companies attempting to bestow a ne...

What Did Medieval Peasants Know?

  Jayla Balderas  Mr. Roddy  IHSS  16 May 2022                                                   What Did Medieval Peasants Know? A comment often thrown around is how much easier life was in medieval times. What sparked this specific article was a tweet made by a woman named Azie Dungey she said, “We give a lot more labor to increase someone else’s wealth than in times past. We generally work much longer hours. We have far fewer holidays and times of community festivity,” (Dungey).  This sparked a controversy, and brought up the question, what were things really like during the medieval times? It was stated everyone has a different variety of what they believed this era looked like in their head because it's ...
