Time for courage

    Courage is important to everyone. However, we need to use it in a proper way. Or else, we will be not be able to use it in a right situation. There are lots of times when we have to show our courage. There are huge moments to show our courage, but in our lifetime we usually experience small events that need our courage to go through.

   In my life time until now, I have experienced some events to be brave. I think the most important time was the day I started to take pills for cold. I began taking pills when I was grade two. It was hard  at first, but it got better and better. I took two to three pills everyday. I filled up a huge glass with water and I took my mouth full of water. Next, I opened a pill paper bag. It felt like it couldn't be opened. When I tried to pick up the first pill it felt extremely heavy because I was so nervous. Eventually, I put it into my mouth.Unfortunately, I had so much water in my mouth, I was not able to swallow all the needless water and the horrible pill. I felt nothing but bitter. As the pill melted, the bitterness grew, and I felt a terrible bitter. As I had nothing but swallowing, I tried my neck to be biggest to swallow all the pill and water. As a result, I was able to swallow I think it was my act worked. With my courage and brave try, I swallowed my first pill.

   I felt great relief. After my first experience, taking other pills are much more easier than the first time. Swallowing pills is not as hard and monstrous to me anymore. Now, it is a piece of cake. I want to advise to people: "Eating pills are not as hard as you think."

How did early humans use art to express their prehistoric culture?

    Early humans, Homo Sapien Sapiens, were the first artist who drew on their cave walls. They drew lots of things, such as animals. Scientists think they drew what they could have seen or their imaginations. They also think that they drew a scene of hunting, or ritual, or the nature. They didn't only draw, they made many artifacts too. They made sculptures, spear throwers, and etc.

   I think they express their culture by drawing a part of their rituals and their artifacts which were used in their rituals. Like the Clay Sculptures of Bison-which has lots of children foot prints, so scientists think there was a place which held coming-of-age ceremony-the artifacts include lots of informations about them. We can also predict that they believed the sprits, and the gods by looking at their spear  thrower. The spear thrower has a horse carved on the top. In the birdman painting, there is a spear thrower with a bird carved on the top. Why did ancient people had animal carved on their spear thrower? We can guess right away. Maybe they believed in spirits, or it was their symbol.

   For drawings, there are also an example for this, a painting that contains a picture of a injured man with the bird head, an injured bison with a spear-which has went in, and a bird-shaped spear thrower. Scientist thinks this drawing is a part of a hunting ritual that was held long ago, because the drawing contains weapons. This drawing shows their hunting ritual which is a part of their culture, so it proves my answer.

    I have support my answer with Clay Sculptures of Bison, Spear Thrower, and the drawing of hunting ritual. I think they worked on my answer. Again, my answer is that the ancient people drew paintings about their rituals and they made artifacts which was used in their rituals to express their culture by using art.
