Sonnet X: Genocide

Tell Me, How Much Pain Can One Tear Contain?
What Is It Like To Stare In Hungry Eyes?
What Is It Like To Only Own A Name?
What Is It Like To Feel Cruel Genocide?

Children Watch As Their Mothers Slowly Fade,
Mothers Watch As Their Daughters Slowly Starve,
A Father Watches His Son Go To Trade,
As Tears Travel Down The Gully They've Carved

Haunted Eyes Softly Whisper To The Sky,
Disease Scuttles Through Brittle Broken Bones,
Hours Fill Their Schedule On Which They Cry,
As They Shuffle With Bare Feet On Small Stones

What Is It Like To Own Unearthly Eyes?
Why Does Our World Still Harbor Genocide?

 This poem was the one that struck my interest due to the fact that it made me think of something. Something that is to me, a topic to want to understand yet I found no answer. This poem to me has one meaning and that meaning is how genocide will affect life, not just one life but the life of the entire place that it has occurred. This poem is based on how genocide affects/ deteriorates ones way of life. This is why I chose this poem.

Answer to the questions relating to hotel rowanda

Generally if a race is  separated into two groups and are treated differently, they will gain hatred for one another. Even though they were at peace, one the other race leaves the two groups, the group that is lower class will want to become powerful and more in control so hatred is eventually built.
 The reason they dislike each other is because the hutu's wanted more and the tutis wanted to make things stay the same.
 This hatred for one another is spread mostly by radio, it also was when the initial attack started.
The justification they had was due to the fact that President Habyarimana’s plane was shot down while returning from a peace meeting with the Tutsi rebels. 
This horrific event was the catalyst for the Rwandan genocide and gave the Hutu extremists justification to kill the Tutsis. I found that on this site http://www.trincoll.edu/~thyde2/rwanda_history.htm . 
Compared to this, mao zedong killed over 80 million chinese with the help of his red army. For more information about mao zedong this is the link to the documentary I found when I set to find more information. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATOEI_IM1vk.
When i first watched this film it took me by surprise because it had actual footage of the incident that occurred during that time. 

mid-term mark

I believe I should get a B because i have only been away from class if i was sick, or had a appointment. I would say I attend 96% of classes the three percent is because i have either been sick or had been at an appointment. I have over 75% of the assignments completed. The reason i have some that are not completed is because i rarely have the time to do them as the assignments we do get need to be done here is a link to what is completed- mikescom11.blogspot.com. I have done every assignment i have completed with the best of my ability so that would be at around 86% because when i do an assignment i do the best of my ability at that specific time. For an example here is one of my assignments i have done. 

I am interested in getting this tattoo because the symbol is first off irish, second of it is a symbol meaning love, third i would get this so i could put my mom and dads names over and under this tattoo to symbolize that they will always be with me no matter what. As for the place I would get the tattoo is simple, I would get the tattoo over my heart to always let me be reminded on what they gave to me and where they will always be.

Also another example is from the assignment where we had to find out the meaning of the poem. This was my well though out response I apologize for no linking the videos.

 This man speaks the truth and also he does what is right, by telling people what is happening. All credit goes to ryley for showing me the video to help me see the truth of the lies the government has given.
The message I get from the poem is the message that the A.I.'s are actually us, the people who are now blind and deafened by the governments that control over us. When it says that we slave just to get by, to me it means that the government has made the people their slaves by controlling the way they live their lives. In the fourth verse I believe it talks about the author realized that we are just pawns and that we need to let our power out by making it so that there is a place ruled by the people not the government or ruler. In the last verse it indicates that people dislike the energy bills but the people who have all the power constantly persist to give bills on everything until someone takes a stand and tries to bring down the government but then get dealt with as a traitor for realizing the truth.

For my genius hour i have 60% of it done because it is on my guitar but i may want to change it to something on war. On self-regulation i would have to give myself a 50% because i feel as i am not the best at regulating myself. For effort on assignments i would give myself a 73% because even through i do my assignments to my best i always feel as if there could be more.

For assignment 1 was easy to do and there is no quality because it is creating a gmail. 

For assignment 2 it was also easy and the quality for that would be around 67%. 

For assignment 3 was easy and the quality for that i would say would be at 63%.

For assignment 4 i would say the quality was at 66%.

For assignment 5 this assignment should have no quality due to the fact that it is the one where you add followers to the blog.
For assignment 6 was quite easy yet i somehow struggled with the embedding. I would say that the quality is around 60% due to the fact i did not figure it out until later on.
For assignment 7 i would say the quality is 0% because i forgot to do that and it is so easy.
For assignment 8 i found that my quality is around 66% because i did get confused on this particular assignment and i feel as if i didn't do that well.
For assignment 9 with my genius hour i find that the page's quality is at around 68% due to the fact that i may change my topic later on.
For assignment 10 i feel as if i should have chosen a different topic because i cant really talk or record my progress without disturbing someone either at school or at home.
For assignment 11 i forgot to do so the quality would have to be a 0%.
For assignment 12 for the interim report i would say that the quality of that is about 66% because most of what i said was true somethings i wanted higher on.
For assignment 13 i would say my quality would be 68% because you can always add more to any post.
For assignment 14 i would say the quality is at 64% because i could have added more but felt lazy and chose not to.
For an overall percentage i would give myself a 63.6% because i dont feel as if i deserve an A due to the fact i have not done the absolute best. My evidence lies within the first bit of the mid-term. 

hamlet soliloquy

I can relate to the soliloquy "to be or not to be" because I have had some of the same things as hamlet because I have felt the same emotions as him. The hate towards someone, the depression, the thought of suicide, I have felt all of those before. The struggles I go through when i am alone are to great to list. When i am down i generally try to find what brings me happiness around me and try to remember a memory that brings my mood up that would be recent but sadly not one good memory has been around lately. I believe that shakespeare was trying to put an outlook of the play hamlet as a what if scenario but the message I got from this is that love, death, betrayal, suicide and loss of sense are just a part of life.
