Prompt
Textiles are usually thought to be a "female art." Why do you think it is traditional in the Hopi tribe, that men weave the
traditional baby quilt for new births? Do you think of weaving and textiles as being a craft for females only? Why or why
not?

I believe that the men make the traditional baby quilt because the females work extremely hard and when they are giving birth they obviously don't have the time or energy to make a quilt. I personally don't think that textiles are a craft for females only because if someone enjoys doing something or they're helping somebody else out, then it doesn't matter if they're a male or a female. Especially not in today's day and age. Men and Women today can do anything they want to do. It doesn't matter if it's considered a female activity or a male activity. People can do what they want and it's no one else's right to judge them based on the activities they want to participate in. As long as they're happy and they're not hurting themselves or anyone else in the process, people can do whatever they want. Oh and also as long as they're not breaking any laws.

Explanation:

i'm not sure i completely understand your question, but i will do my best.

i think the answer you are looking for is sequence. (see below)

a repeated melodic fragment would be best defined as repetition, while repeated chords (different or the same) could be a chord progression. however, you then mentioned the chord and melodic fragment beginning on higher or lower pitches, in that case, the answer could be best defined as a sequence. the definition of a sequence is as follows: "the restatement of a motif or longer melodic (or harmonic) passage at a higher or lower pitch in the same voice."

let me know if this !
