What's with the rabbit?

Hey gang,

I love the artwork...A plus for everyone, except Mr. Philen. What was his point anyways? So, enjoy Lampool! We'll have a hype time!

So, for Monday you should read through part 7. Also, I want you to find at least 3 important/significant quotes from this part of the reading. Please write them down and be prepared to share these with the class for discussion.

Also, begin to think about the essay topic you will choose. Here are some of the choices:

1. You are a politician transformed by reading Ishmael. What laws would you enact in order to turn things around (or promote change)?

2. In reading Ishmael, what did you learn: a) about yourself? b) about the world? c) about learning?

3. What do you feel are the most important themes in Ishmael and why?

4. Can we as a culture identify the bars of our prison, or are we too happy in our captivity to care? is our society really a cultural prison?

5. What are the origins of culture and cultural beliefs, especially yours?

6. Since it isn't feasible for current society to go back to hunting and gathering, what can we do?

7. Write a paper entitled: "How We Should Live."

8. Mr. Rutherford has invited YOU (or Ishmael, you choose) to give the commencement address, write it.

9. Write your own philosophy related to one of the five branches of philosophy.


Have a great weekend!!!
