Speech of Animal Farm

Dear Fellows, 

Today 11th November of 2016, a simple sheep like me has summon you, my partners, to this important meeting that concerns us all. I summoned just some of you because it cannot be revealed the real purpose of the meeting. It’s true that I am a simple sheep that doesn’t do anything truly important for the farm more than agree or disagree the propositions, but I need your help and it is your right to know this.

It’s well known that when we expelled the humans out of the farm we had to decide what we were going to do next. Napoleon took care of the farm and everybody was accepting the situation, but I was the only one that had a different point of view. Snowball, also had the same reaction than I when we listened to Napoleons speech for the first time, but he was different than me, he expressed his opinion against Napoleon, with the consequence of being chased and incriminated like a traitor. Fellows, I investigated Napoleon’s mandate and I discovered that he has cheated to all of us. First he had perverted Old major’s dreams, Old major had imposed the first laws and decrees which were based on where all animals were equal, but Napoleon didn’t care about any of his dreams, until Old major died in hands of the humans. One day when I was passing near Napoleon’s room I listened to a conversation between him and Scuiler that had explained all my doubts. The disappearance of all the chickens was because Napoleon wanted to sell all the eggs that had been hatched by the hens, but instead of accepting this situation the hens flew into the sky and threw all the eggs so Napoleon couldn’t sell it, Napoleon knew this and hanged all the hens.

So how are you going to accept like your leader an animal who doesn’t even care of your own lives, Boxer was the one who worked harder in the farm and Napoleon killed him lying to him by saying that he was going to the doctor but instead he was sent to the slaughterhouse.

Animals, what is the difference between being dominated by the humans or by Napoleon, which instead of being safe, we are constantly afraid of what is going to happen next, he instead of feeding us takes rations of food and brainwashed our minds.

Are you with me or with someone who wants to assume you in misery?

¡¡ Long live to the revolution!!

Indian Reservations

Indian Reservations

An Indian Reservation is a legal designation of an area used by a native american tribe, under the US Government. There are 326 Indian Reservations in the US and they were created in 1658 named Powhatan Tribes. All the reservations have an area of 227.000 km2. Not all of the tribes in the US have a reservation, there are ones that have more than just a reservation, there are others that share a reservation. Some reservations are very fragmented and that's  why are created political, administrative and legal difficulties.
The term "Reservation", comes from the conception of independent sovereings when the constitucion was ratified. There was a treat a long time ago when Indian Tribes surrendered large areas of land to the US Government, wich the tribes, as sovereings, "reserved" to themselves, and those areas came to be called "reservations".
The majority of Native poblation live in other places than reservations, often in big cities like Phoenix and Los Angeles, 1 million of Native Americans live in this cities. 
Many Native Americans who live on reservations deal with the federal government through two agencies, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service.
Refering to the quality of life in some reservations is very similar to that in developing world, with issues of infant mortality, malnutrition, poverty, alcohol and drug abuse.

Written Assignment Corrected

Rationale

This novel is about two Friends, Amir that is the son of Baba an important business man, and Hassan that is the son of Ali, a servant of Baba. These two friends were separated and they never see each other again in their lives. This novel occurred in the middle of a civil differentiation between Pashtuns and Hazaras.

In this task I’m going to refer to different aspects of the book. I’m going to start saying that The Kite Runner is very linked with this task because both are about a letter that Baba sent to Hassan, because he realizes that he can’t occult more longer that Hassan is his real son, so he writes this letter saying he is apologized for not treating him like his own son.

The creative piece is that Baba writes this letter to Hassan, thing that doesn’t happen in the book and saying that he is the father of Hassan. What I’m attempting to say by writing this letter is that Baba always had the opportunity of telling Hassan that he was his father and he was sorry for how he treated him like, but he couldn’t do it in the book because he was afraid and he didn’t have the courage to face anyone, but in this letter was different.

I believe that the letter was the best way of communication between Baba and Hassan, because they didn’t live together anymore. This letter is directed specifically to Hassan and the text type used was semi-formal.

Dear Hassan,                                                                                                    

First of all, I want to know how you have been in this time that we haven’t seen each other. Well, I’m not so good because there is something that I want to tell you, but it’s very difficult for me to say what I’m writing to you right now, and it’s the purpose of this letter. It all started when I was a little boy, I lived in an enormous house with my family, and the family of the servants also lived in that house, and I grew up with the son of the servant. His name was Ali and I had the same relationship with him like you with Amir. It was not so similar because I never admitted that he was my friend, because I didn’t have the courage to do it. Ali and I grew up together, and when I got married and started living alone with Sofia, I invited him to be my servant and I built him a little house near my house where he could live with Sanaubar, his wife.

Now, here is the thing I need to tell you but I’ am afraid of your reaction Hassan, but I believe that you need to know. I lived very happily with Sofia until something horrible occurred. Sofia got pregnant and we were very happy, I believed that I was the luckiest man in the world, but when we were at the hospital waiting for Amir to be born, something went wrong in the delivery phase and Sofia died when Amir was born. That was the best and the worst day on my life. Two years later, I started a relationship with your mom Sanaubar without Ali knowing this, and this event has weighed me down all my life. Sanaubar got pregnant with you and I was responsible for that, I am your father Hassan, and Ali never knew that. He always believed that he was your father but the truth is that I am. I loved you Hassan, my son. I am so relieved now by telling you this, I had always loved you but I couldn’t told you before because Ali was living near my house. I would never going to see his face again because I don’t have the courage to look at his eyes.

Hassan, I want to apologize for not having treated you like my own son because I was afraid of Ali’s reaction, and I don’t want you to be alone because of my mistake and your mother’s mistake. I want to tell you that when I die, I am going to divide all my fortunes between you and Amir, and I want you to stay close to Amir, as if you were brothers. I just need to ask that you don’t tell anybody about this, you need to know that this is for your future, and only for you my son.

I hope you can understand me and forgive me, I love you.

Your Father, Baba

Kite Runner Reflexion

In this reflexion of The Kite Runner, between the book and the movie there are plenty of differences and similarities that we can found but in this time I just will refer to 3 of them. One difference between the book and the movie is that in one part Assef fights with Amir, and in the movie just shows that Amir was very hurt in the floor, but in the book shows that after the fight Amir gets knockout and waked up in a hospital. Another is that Rahim Khan in the book its coughing blood and was very sick and in the movie apparently is okay. The third difference is that in the book Assef tells a story that he was in prison and in the movie doesn’t. One similarity is when Assef and Amir where speaking, in both cases its well explained. Another is when Amir and Farid where well dressed and in both cases is explained with a lot of detail. The last is that in both cases its similar the distribution of the dialogs.

Fairtrade Letter

18/03/2015


Dear Martin,

I am writing to you principally to ask you how you have been in these days, but really I want to tell you that the other day I was shopping in the market near my house and I saw a estrange mark on a chocolate bar, I was very interested about this mark and I searched it in the web. You are not going to believe me what that mark was, a strategy for poverty alleviation and sustainable development named Fairtrade. Martin, the purpose of Fairtrade is to create opportunities for producers and workers who have been aconomically marginalised by the conventional trading system in developing countries. With the Fairtrade mark they could get a better deal internationally speaking.

The weird thing was that this chocolate bar was 10% more expensive than conventional bars, so I searched for it and with this 10% you could help these disadvantaged workers giving them this 10% more for they personal use.

This symbol Martin, represents a lot of things that you can see only looking at them, but the real interpretation of this logo represents a farmer holding their product or a campaign worker fighting for a greater justice.

Martin, I want you to think about this because I believe that is very important to help this people that are economically marginalised by the international powerfull companies, so you need to compromise with this the same as me, and if you are going to buy something try to look for the Fairtrade mark.

Regards Franco,
