The war of the wall- by toni cade bambara

what makes a community?
much like feeling the special bond of family, belonging to a community can give people feelings of identity and security. what things in the community contribute to those feelings? in “the war of the wall”, an ‘outsider’ comes to a town and challenges its residents’ idea of what it means to be a community.

a story usually has one main theme, but it may also have other themes. to determine the story’s theme or themes:
note the setting of the story and how it might relate to the plot and characters
make inferences about character motivations and relationships
note what conflicts arise and how they are resolved

a theme may be indicated through the lessons learned by the characters in a particular setting. as you read “the war of the wall” keep these tips in mind in order to identify the story’s themes!

why is the wall special to the narrator and lou?

why don’t lou and the narrator carry out their plan to recapture the wall?

reread the final three paragraphs of the story - how do you think the two boys feel about having bought paint once they read the inscription on the wall? explain.

was the painter an “outsider” or a part of the community? why?

“the war of the wall” is told from the first person point of view. everything we learn about the characters and plot comes from what the narrator chooses to tell us. for that reason, we don’t know very much about the painter’s thoughts and feelings.

what do you think the painter may have been thinking about the community? why? provide some depth of thought here (with examples from the story, if possible).

Which of the following scenarios is an example of the bottleneck effect? answers a in south africa, much of the afrikaner population is descended from a small number of dutch colonists. in this population, this is an unusually high frequency of pseudoxanthoma elasticum (pxe), an elastic tissue disorder. b four white-tailed deer are introduced to a park in finland. thirty years after their introduction scientists compare the genes in the population and find that there is no variation. c during the industrial revolution, london's air became filled with soot. as a result, birds started eating more of the lighter moths because they were easier to spot than their darker counterparts. over time, the moth population changed so that there were more darker moths than lighter ones. d 10% of the population of american alligators in an area have the recessive trait albinism. a massive flood results in the death of 80% of the population. of the remaining population, 60% have the recessive trait of albinism.

You will create a molecular clock model for an arthropod gene. follow these guidelines to make your model: . your timeline will span from 90 million years ago to the present. the common ancestor in your model is an arthropod that lived 90 million years ago. the gene that you'll track codes for a protein in the species venom . the dna sequence youll track contains 10 nitrogen bases. you can choose the order of the bases and where the mutations occur. this gene mutates at a rate of approximately 0.76 base pairs every 17.1 million years. to build your model,/ calculate the estimated time period it takes for 1 base pair to mutate. the first time period will only show the common ancestor. at the beginning of the second time period, three lineages will diverge from the common ancestor, each with a different mutation in their gene sequences. the first and third descendant species will survive for the rest of the timeline. the second descendant species was extinct 50 million years ago. calculate how long it will take for one full base pair mutation to occur. explain your reasoning by constructing a mathematical equation
