When we read about prehistoric people, most of it is about cave men. There isn’t much about cave women. Most of us think of preh

istoric women from cartoons, many of which show men dragging women by their hair. In other words, we get the idea that men were the dominant gender of ancient times.
Science tells a very different story. Evidence from prehistoric statues and cave art tells us that women were probably held in high regard and probably invented many things necessary to human societies. For example, it seems likely that women, not men, invented gardening, as well as created the first baskets and pottery. This makes sense for two reasons. First, women had to care for young children, so they remained close to the camp or cave. Men were often away somewhere hunting for game. Women were also the ones who had the time to weave baskets, make clay pots, and help feed the people by tending to gardens.

Use your own words to explain the main idea in the paragraph.

List two details that support the main idea.

List two details that give information about why women probably were the ones to invent pottery, baskets, and gardening.

The main idea of the paragraph is that women should be credited for much more during the prehistoric times that they are at the moment. We only get the picture of them being rather irrelevant at the time which is obviously not true, based on this excerpt. The paragraph is quite feminist, meaning that it is shedding light on actual history and the role of women in such a society which not much is spoken about in contemporary analyses. 
They were the ones who invented gardening, as well as pottery and weaving. The reason why they did this was because they often stayed 'at home' taking care of children, so they had time to do other things as well, while men were out hunting and providing for the family in other ways. Thus we have solid proof that women were far more creative and responsible for various things than they are credited for now.

THE GIVER why do you think a Receiver must have the qualities named by the Chief Elder? Be specific.​
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Because if they don't have the qualities the person thinks they need then they won't be able to handle the memories in a logical and mature way. It's like choosing your successor, you wouldn't want them to be unprepared or to give them what you have and watch them ruin everything you've built to get destroyed because you made a mistake on choosing the person. They need to have specific qualities to fulfill the checklist and see if they're capable of enduring the duties that come with everything. They need to follow the same footsteps you did and continue the tradition.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Gestures are very effective in communication, but the same gestures can have different meanings in other countries which can cause a lot of confusion when communicating. An example of this is the gesture used to ask for a ride in the USA, which is characterized with the thumb raised, over the other fingers, which are lowered laterally. Although this gesture means a ride request in the USA, the same jesto means "ok" in Brazil.

Nadusha1986 [10]
People should read lord of the flies because it has an interesting and surprising plot. Also because it shows the darker side of humans in cynicism that isn't very popular nowadays, which offers a refreshing point of view. Also it encourages deep self reflection about your own dark side and how you would honestly feel in a situation that the boys were in.
