2) What do you see as the important differences between “taking” and “leaving” cultures? Give examples of each kind of culture. In your personal life, would you describe yourself as a “taker,” or a ”leaver”?

Book Report Assignment

"Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn is a book you must really read. By that I mean you cannot skim it, or just read a few chapters or the beginning and ending of chapters, or take any other shortcut. To understand what it contains and its significance, you must read it carefully and in its entirety. That?s the only way you?ll ?get it?. And that?s the only way you?ll be able to get full credit for your report.

Take notes as you read each section of each chapter ? there are thirteen chapters. (I took 15 pages of hand-written notes.)

Here?s what I want you to do for your report:

1. Outline the main points of the Takers story. That means you must explain
- the main premises, assumptions and teachings of Mother Culture
- where Taker culture is leading humanity
- Taker culture?s effects on the planet (the natural world).

2. Outline the main points of the Leavers culture. That means you must do the same
three things as you did above, with special attention to the differences in the
approach to the natural world.

3. Describe your reactions to (a) Ishmael?s explanation of how things got this way and
(b) his ?program to save the world?.

Do not try to write great prose. Keep it lean. Just stick to providing the information I?m asking for, and Don?t embellish - just the facts. Do not bring in extraneous information. I?m fine with you using the author?s own words rather than you trying to paraphrase.

Your report must be between four and six pages in length, double-spaced, 11 point type, one inch margins all around, no cover page, stapled ? double-sided if at all possible. Put your name only on the top line of the first page.


I look forward to your reactions to this unusual book.
