Own Big-Picture Narrative Journal

Christian’s goal was for, This Fleeting World: A Short History of Humanity, to become an everyday tool in the world history classroom. The bold titles in the preface validate his goal: This Fleeting World as a Teaching Tool, Using This Fleeting World to Plan and Teach World History (Christian, XI & XII). Christian divided history, and his book, into 3 eras: The Foragers Era, The Agrarian Era, and The Modern Era. Human history, In Christian’s explanation, started about 250,000 years ago with the era of the Foragers.

Women cooked for the whole village. They ate fresh meat, fish, turtles, deer, turkey and other animals. Clothing: Their clothing was very different. The women wore long skirts and puffy blouses.

The men usually hunted for food and fought when it is necessary to do so. They cut down trees for planting and used the wood to build homes and canoes. They made tools and worked outside for the most part. Cherokee women worked at home and controlled what happened in the household. The women in this particular tribe owned the men and had the majority power over their families.

They would do anything a typical child would do today. They would play outside and also help with chores around the tribe. Both boys and girls would also go to school and play sports. The girls would accompany the women in helping with household chores such as cooking, sewing, and cleaning. The boys would go hunting with the men and also learn how to farm the land to be able to provide for the tribe in the future.

I have to throw away the books I’ve drank, so my dad won’t find them and ask what happened to the words. What would I say “I drank the words cause I’m and ink drinker.” I definitely couldn't tell my dad. My dad is one of those who believe that only God's creatures have the right to roam this earth. If you're not believed to be a creature of god a mob comes a chases you for days trying to kill you. The last one the mob chased out a young girl who her friends claimed that she was a witch. They chased her through 3 different towns trying to find and kill her. Definitely don’t want that happening to me! Tomorrow is the first day of school. I’m scared something bad might happen.

The tribes grew corn, beans squash, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, wild rice, and persimmons. The people were hunters and they usually hunt small food like rabbits and turkeys. Their clothing were often made my women and it was made out mostly out of deerskin. Men wore breechcloth or a cloak and women wore a skirt with a cloak. The tribes of the Southeast built their houses out of mud and other resources that were available at that time.

You don't realize how easily little things turn into big things until after you wake up. I had been eating dinner with my family when I heard my favorite show's finale announce itself on the T.V. upstairs. I packed in what was left on my plate, thanked my parents for food, and excused myself from the table to throw my dishes in the sink that was piling high with dishes. I dashed to the stairs and hit the first step before my dad began to interrogate me with questions about school and other things that had not involved my show that was now beginning without me. I gave him words of assurance and darted for the couch.

In the southeast region the Native Americans were hunters and gatherers. The Native Americans would take baskets and go searching for berries, nuts and other fruits. Some of fruits they would gather they would set out to dry so they did not spoil. The soil was really good to grow crops. They also planted food like corn, beans, pumpkins and sweet potatoes.

My ancestors mostly lived in teepees through hot summers and cold winters toward the center of North America. They made travois which are like modern day sleds, ropes, shields, bows, and parfleches

The Neolithic revolution emerged around 12,000 years ago and occurred when civilizations began farming crops and domesticating animals (Feder, 2014). The societal shift helped civilizations to change from nomadic type lifestyles, such as scavenging and engaging in hunter-gatherer behaviors. The result was civilizations could locally produce the food needed to survive. This developed into a strategy of farming and then ultimately producing and collecting surpluses of food that had previously been more scarce or more labor intensive to obtain (Feder, 2014). The Neolithic revolution was the cornerstone of developing modern societies, as it marked a global scale socio-economic change which fast-tracked the rise of civilizations and social class divisions.

The tribes were grouped based on their cultural and environmental characteristics (Oswalt, Page 21). The customs of these different tribes impact the structure of families, gender

Even though the tribe was like the other tribes it had a few differences. A main diffrence was they lived in the matriarchal, which this also relates to
