Words: 1171 - Pages: 5.... Memi's hair, especially along the tips closest to his shoulders. All other paint on the statue seems to have deteriorated over the years.

In The Beginning
Words: 750 - Pages: 3.... to have sex while they were pregnant, men who were going or coming from war were not allowed to have sex either because they needed to keep their minds on the battle.

Another freedom that women had in their tribes was that they had ownership of their land, houses and their children.
As time went by the Americans, French, and the Spanish took the Indian women to be their wives. As far as sex between them went, the English were used to paying for sex and the Indian women were used to trading for it so it worked out pretty well for .....

However the traditions aquired, and at times given the power of laws, in
the course of the long centuries of diaspora differ considerably from one
branch of Judaism to another. Just as the worldwide language of the
Ashekenazim, Yiddish, is a mixture of Hebrew with German, the common
language used by the Sephardim Ladino, still in use in some parts of the
world, is a dialect formed by combining Hebrew with Spanish. The Sephardim
