    Otzi shows us that life for early humans was based on a lot of human interaction. Some would think of early humans as these non-intellectual, gorilla-like species that liked to hit rocks together and make grunting noises. They were much more than that. The discovery of Otzi’s body shows us this. He shows us that early humans lived in groups, and like today, they communicated with each other. Maybe even a lot more than most think. They worked together in groups to create tools and other material objects in order to survive through communication. I doubt that Otzi alone would have been able to construct everything he had on him when he died. When he died, scientists found multiple objects and tools that proves this. On him he had a copper

  • Miyabe Research Paper

    805 Words  | 2 Pages

    Miyabe Miyuki’s writing is one that can be categorized more so as criticisms of society rather than actual narratives and stories. By analyzing four of the prolific author’s works (“Brave Story”, “The Sleeping Dragon”, “The Devil’s Whisper”, and “Ghosts of Edo”) this essay will attempt to locate the specific elements within Miyabe’s writing that make her writing style unique in the greater landscape of Japanese women writers. The prevalent of these is her focus on contemporary Japanese issues in modern Japan, as can be seen in her novel “The Devil’s Whisper”, which prominently features romance scams. Her connection with Tokyo (also known as Edo) has a major impact in her writing as well, with many of her mystery novels, like “The Sleeping Dragon”, as well as her book of ghost stories “Ghosts of Edo” centering around the capital of Japan. Taking these two main elements into account is key to understanding the social issues that Miyabe Miyuki attempts to discuss in her writing and themes behind them.
