Comparing and contrasting

In the History of Australia, United States, Rwanda, and South Africa, everyone wants to have the most power.

In these past histories the British, French and the Dutch are fighting for power by taking over the natives. In South Africa, the Dutch was their first ones there and was trying to control the Boers but then the British came and started to fight the Boers to get control of them too. One model of the British and the French was in the United States because they were trying to make the most friends of Native Americans to gain their land. And in Rwanda the Dutch got the land before the British so the British couldn’t have the land and also the Dutch had the control of the citizens and had control of it until the end of the holocaust. And in Australia the natives pretty much gave up and gave the power to the British.

Another reason why they wanted the most power is for the gold, free land, and labor. The Boer’s are great workers and the British and Dutch wanted to take them in and use them as slaves. Also in South Africa they were after the land for the VOC and the gold and Diamonds. Like in Australia and Rwanda they got free servants and slaves from the native’s and also minerals like tobacco and wine. And in the United States they were after the land because there was a huge chunk of land at that time.

What did I do over the break!

Over the break was okay at my house, but I had better Christmas’s. I hope that you had a great break. There was so many things that has happen I don’t know where to start.

The first thing that happened over the break is that our garage door brooks down and we had to get a new one. And then my sisters and I had to clean the basement because this year we were hosting the Christmas party. Then the party came and we didn’t had a break to relax and to enjoy the party, and I had to keep my dog Ginger out of trouble because my 4 and 2 year old cousins were scared of her, but she didn’t mean to harm them she was just getting use to the people.

After the Christmas party the laundry washer brook down and the repair guy had to come and fix it. Then it was Christmas!!! I just love Christmas, just how we celebrate each year but last year we went to Rome and Germany to visit my dad side of the family, good thing I took German this year or I wouldn’t get one thing they are saying. Anyway, I woke up by six thirty and I and my sisters played board games till eight when my parents woke up and our grandma came over to celebrate with us.

This year was different because the windows was linking because of the big rain storm going outside and got almost all of our presents wet, image that. And after that we surprise my grandma by going to house with all of our other relatives to celebrate the second Christmas. We played with Jennie’s new game “last word” and ate ham sandwiches and had a cookie contest that my mom won. But I thought my cousin Lisa should of win but I was fine with that.

At the end of our Christmas we all caught a mild case of the H1N1. But Jennie didn’t catch it but she did have a stomach aegh. And at the end of break the dishwasher brook but we really didn’t mind it at all. And at the very end my mom, Lauren (my older sister), and I went to the DIA for the Avedon event to do for my cultural event for school. And also we made a snowman, but is demented because it has yellow Sponge Bob golf ball eyes. So it just an okay break.

How GLEE was at the end...

Though out the fall and some winter there was a great show called Glee. Last Wednesday was the last glee for the first season until the spring. The last two was my most favorite because it is glee and you can feel the heat of the actors.

The teacher found out that his wife wasn’t pregnant and it was freighting. I was holding my hands tight and curling into a little ball. He found out when he was looking for his cuffs for the school picture and the fake pregnant pouch that makes you look like you are pregnant but you really weren’t was in a drawer and he found it. Then he came running to his wife in a mad but hoping not confused face and kind of attacks her. He round her off to a corner and ask her to lift of her shirt. She said no so he lift it for her and it was true. After that he seems angry and wanted to hit her but he left her. That was the most exciting thing that happen on that episode, another one is when they do a comical for a mattress. They sing a song called jump and they jump on the mattress. And oh, the teacher got fired to the leader of teacher for glee.

The last glee was the best glee. The therapy teacher filled in for the sectionals and kicks back her wedding for two hours. There were two other teams in the running besides them. My favorite part is when they sing, they sing don’t rain on my parade, can’t always have what you want, and some other song that I forgot. They were going to sing don’t stop believing, rolling, and a song Mercedes was going to sing but the other groups stolen they because Sue gave them the list (the cheerios coach). At the end the other teams told them that they were sorry and they were going to tell the judges but it was too late. And also the therapy teacher wedding got cancel because she was in loved with the glee teacher.

And at the end the therapy teacher and the glee teacher got together and both agreed that they loved each other, glee won the sectionals, and they put in a special act for the glee teacher because he couldn’t make it. Also Finn got the truth from Quinn; she is pregnant with Puck, not himself.

Reflections on the debate-

For the first time in global Ed I got a glimpse of Simon. My sister says it was so much fun, and it is. If you work hard, study your person/country, and listen to their point of view this game will be easy, you also have to put in the time to do it because it takes a while. Simon is a game that you play politicians and you act out a problem that is or has happens and you try to solve it. And if we could do all the time in Global Ed. I might like coming to school.

I was the dear sister of Juvenal Habyarimana (who just got killed in a plane crash). My brother was president of Rwanda. He funded the radio station that warned the Hutus’ that the Tutsis was out to get them. He also made the MRND which turn their back on him. He died because when he was with a peace talk with Burundian president and the leader of RPF order the RPF to shot down the plane and they did.

I learned about some websites that I didn’t even know about is like BBC. I thought that there was only the New York Times and one and two other big news/stories tellers. And I also learned a lot about this genocide because I didn’t know anything before this. Like Rwanda is even a country, and about how the Hutu’s and the Tutsis hate each other very much. If we’re going to do this again in Mr. Fielder’s class I would like to do it.

In the game, I think the MRND, the RPF, Belgium, USA, and UN did the most talking because they had the most influential in it. Uganda, France, and another force that I forgot the named of was the middle because they did little parts of it. And Kagame and Habyarimana spook the shortest amount of times because Habyarimana was killed and the Kagame was… well… I don’t know really maybe because they were shy or had nothing to day about it.

I think my person had the most impact of it because we took over and he order to kill all those people and when he died it most have made the Hutus’ so mad that they went out and killed all those Tutsis, which I not mad at them at all because they were the one I think that started this genocide.

Man Thinking

Emerson’s argument in “the American scholar” about society still hold true today.

One reason Emerson’s argument still holds true today is that man is only concern about making the most money. Inside the article it talks about how a man sticks to one talent for the rest of his life and doesn’t learn the rest of him. "a farmer only farm, and a teacher only teachs." Another reason is that it is the only way to survive. If you go the mall, or the groceries store, you need money to by clothing or food, which all humans need. We also need money to pay for our houses and the electric bill.

The second reason why that is a man doesn’t have enough education. In China, all of them focus on one thing like science, or math, and focus on that subject and get to know it really well, and then they hope that they could get a really good job. And in America you learn a little bit of everything, but never enough.My uncle didn’t go to college so he work for a auto company and last year his company closed, he didn’t have a job for almost a year, just last month he got one, but under the same subject.

Halloween

I love Halloween!!! Even though I don’t have any good costumes I still love it!!!
You get free candy, and I love candy. If there is one thing I love is candy. My mom and dad though don’t want me to eat any because they think it is too unhealthy to eat, even though they eat half of it.

Every Halloween to me is special to me. Last year I went to my friend’s house to go trick or treating and there was a crazy old lady at one of her houses. And each year my neighbors give my sisters and me something special. One gives us a bag of candy (the big kind), another gives us 30 bucks, and another gives us some cool stuff, like one year they give us some cool cups. I but last year’s my sisters told me that one house the trick or treat past everyone a bible. And I didn’t but I didn’t believe them but then they showed it to me it is crazy. But you better watch out in my neighborhood because there are people who will hurt you, but most of the time they stay at Hoover.

This year I am being a rainbow weather girl because my mother won’t give us money to buy us any new costumes, which I don’t know why because we barley buy any new costumes anyway. And my other sisters are being classic or just weird like mine. Kristen is being little red riding hood, Lauren is being a ghost, and jenny is being a frantic wife, which mean a old lady in a bathroom yelling at her husband(in this case us) to get or lazy butts moving. And this year one of my favorite’s cousins, Wendy is coming over to trick or treat with us, but I don’t know what she is going to be.

To night there are going to be a lot of activities in the Engels household. Lauren is going to a party; Jennie is maybe going with her Leen to going spook someone’s house, and I volunteering my time to help serve the fall festival at an elementary school. And Kristen is going to hang out with my mom. And this weekend I have homework in Mrs. Begeski class and Mr. fielders class so far. I am so tried right now so I hope that you will have a great weekend and have a spooky Halloween.

I Love Glee

On Wednesday nights at 9 I love to watch glee! It helps unreel my stress level and I think it is brilliant and also so funny. If it is one show during the week that I will watch is glee.

If you don’t know what glee is it is about a club that can sing there heart out. Rachel and Finn is the main singer and Mercedes, Arty, Tina, and Kurt are the back ground singers. So far in the year the coach for the cheerios (they are really cheer leaders)is trying to shut down glee club and to do that she send in three of her highest cheer leaders, their names are star, Quinn and some other girl no one knows. Quinn is Finn girlfriend and she is pregnant with Noah. Which he and some other kids join other football kids join to spy on her and Finn so nothing gets to series. And while all of this is happening and to make it more exciting is that Rachel has eyes for Fin when he also do to.

And if you go to the grownups scene is that the director of glee club is thinking to leave his wife then she got pregnant so he doesn’t but on the first time she went to the doctor she realize she wasn’t pregnant but she doesn’t tell him. But when he was about to tell him she found out Quinn is pregnant so she ask Quinn if she could have her baby and she said yes.

In the last glee the coach was partner up with the director and it wasn’t pretty. Each day they have a really big fight about their way about to control glee. The ending up splitting up the glee in half. But the coach got the bigger half because they flip a quarter and she bought a two head quarter so she cheated but no one knew why. And at the end of that show both groups of glee said that they don’t want to do glee if they’re going to be this much fighting. And at the end of that she resigned of his assistant and went back to coaching her cheerios.

See how I love this show. Other people think it is okay but that is one show that I cannot miss. So the next Wednesday turn on the TV and watch the most awesome show ever!!!
