African Mask

The mask I choose is made of ebony wood. A strong dark wood that is easy to carve into with the right tools but really hard to break by anything else. Africans use this wood for most of there masks because it is so strong. 

The mask that I choose to write about is a black mask, with thin drawings on elephants, and snakes on it. The animals are drawn with a gold and really pop out on the mask. It is a long narrow mask, with an open mouth at the bottom and eye holes in the middle. I really like it because it stands out and really pops with the different colors, and it looks like it is made for someone tough. This mask lets us know that they are one with nature and love all the animals that surround them. 




Blind Belief is Dangerous

The saying "Blind Belief is Dangerous" comes from Western Kenya.

The meaning of the saying Blind Belief is Dangerous means that you should not just believe what you hear because it is not always true, and that you should know it first before you tell anyone else. At least this is just what I think it means.

I chose this mosaic because I like the different colors and the way it looks

Is a Woman a Stronger Leader Than a Man?

At times a woman can be stronger then a man but no always. I think that in a time of was a man is the stronger leader, because he is more aggressive, but at times of peace a woman is better.

A man is better during a time of war because he is more aggressive and men are better warriors because they are trained from a young age. A man will declare war if necessary or if invaders are attacking them, but a woman will try to negotiate a way out and somewhat endanger the people she rules.

But during a time of peace a woman is better because she listens to the people and knows what they want. Woman are also a little more self contiguous and don't seem to get as power hungry as men which means they are less likely to become dictators.

My opinion is that men and women are both fit to rule and both have different strengths.
