Questions On Otz's 'The Iceman'

455 Words2 Pages

Otzi The Iceman
My Thoughts
Well firstly I think that Otzi died of lost blood. I think when he was up on the mountains he was struck by an arrow head and lost enough blood to die. Then I think his body came to be like that because of the severe weather weather conditions and that atmosphere.
Describe the artefacts found with with Otzi. What did they reveal? Otzi was a hunter. He was found with tools and weapons.
When he was found he had a copper axe which said some things about witch tribe he came from. He also had a bow and arrow I suspect to hunt things with and gather food. He had a wooden backpack and he also had a stone dagger. Again probably to hunt things so maybe Otzi was a hunter. He also had a flint dagger. Leads to hunter.
Describe …show more content…

Although most scientists agree that he was killed by blood loss. So maybe he could have survived if he didn't have that arrow in him.
What questions remain unanswered?
Could he have survived in that weather condition?
How old was he?
Where did he come from?
What else did he eat?
Did he believe in a religion?
How old was he?
How many theories are presented about Otzi’s death?
There are two main theories that I have read about. One being that he froze up there on the mountain and the more popular one being that he died because of blood loss by the arrow head in his shoulder. I also read that Otzi may have been shot by a hunter. Then maybe the hunter buried him.

    Perhaps the most common is the belief that Ötzi was fleeing from a battle when he was shot in the back by an enemy. There are several facts that discredit that theory. One is that after he was shot, Ötzi was hit in the head. Any enemy close enough to knock Ötzi in the head would also have taken his copper axe to use in the battle. This would not have been the case if Ötzi was not alone when he died, but fighting in a skirmish, or small fight.

  • Change In Williams Faulkner's A Rose For Emily

    1252 Words  | 6 Pages

    In Williams Faulkner 's ‘A Rose for Emily’, a local narrator provides a very personally nuanced and chronologically disjoined narrative. Through this lens Faulkner uses the imagery and symbols of the Grierson home, Emily as a monument, Homer’s body, in “A Rose for Emily” to convey the theme of change vs. decay, especially as it relates to the American South and its traditions. Although he describes particular individuals within Jefferson (Miss Emily, the older men and ladies, the town leaders), he seems to be using them as symbols for the larger issues that the South was facing at the turn of the twentieth century. This paper discusses how Faulkner uses imagery and metaphor to highlight on the necessity of adaptation in changing times. This
