Speech

So as we all know, Napoleon has clearly taken control of animal farm, or should i call it, Napoleon's farm? Animals of animal farm, we are being oppressed and manipulated by the pigs, and we should start doing something about it!

Animals, do you even remember what was the purpose of the revolution? We were motivated by Old Major's words, but now we are doing nothing but falling into the mind games of the pigs. The rules are not even the ones Old Major, our founder proposed, we are living under Napoleon's rules, we are not free yet!

Look around you, where is Boxer, where are the chickens, where is even our food? And Napoleon? He is probably in the house, maybe drinking alcohol, maybe sleeping in a bed, maybe even with the humans, trading our lives for things of his joy, while we are here starving, can you stand this?

Actually, I can recall how I feel right now, it’s just how I felt under farmer Jones' rules, we never have food, there is always someone watching us and we are basically slaves. Old major said we were free but still, Napoleon took control and he self proclaims himself as a leader, and he thinks we are his puppets.

Animals, we are not free yet, the day we are free, will be the day when we can look around proud of something we made ourselves together, and that day will eventually come. THE REVOLUTION HAS JUST BEGUN!

Cloning isn't easy to handle, if you clone someone managed with an IA then I guess its ok but when you use it to clone someone that can think for himself you go over the moral boundaries, you're basically creating life, just as a kid was born. As this may be useful in many ways this may also be harmful too as this new clone has feeling just like you. If you had the information to do that, you would have to be careful with who you share it with. Also i don't think scientist should mind about cloning but they should advance on medical research

A reservation is an area of land managed by a Native American tribe under the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs. There are approximately 310 Indian reservations in the United States although there are more than 550 federally recognized tribes. This is because some tribes have more than one reservation, some share reservations, while others have none, often due to a lack of federal recognition.  Because of past land allotments (for example, under the Dawes Act of 1887) some reservations are fragmented, with pieces of tribal, individual, and privately held land, some of it owned by non-Indians. The collective geographical area of all reservations is 55.7 million acres, or about 2.3% of the area of the United States.

Rationale

A novel that goes from the childhood of two characters, Amir and Hassan, and then goes through the life of the main character being Amir. The Kite Runner got recognition all over the world due its high impact on the reader and for the story that moved a lot of people.

The main character is Amir, how people used to call him back when he was a kid, a "storyteller". Amir ended up growing up and taking that as a job, he ended up living up for these stories so basically doing what he wanted to do with his life. Im taking Amir's storyteller lifestyle into a blog entry that he wrote himself trying to reflect what he has been feeling and how has he been feeling through hes whole life as a fiction writer. The blog is from his point of view of course and his personal opinion on the whole discrimination towards storytellers in general from his perspective.

blog entry the kite runner



People used to tell me story tellers are nothing but liars. I never really believed that, and i didn't really listened to anyone either, I just never took advise from anyone to be honest, thing is, I believes story tellers where nothing but cool guys trying to entertain. Most of the people don't get stories, they just think they are boring and they don't even try to get them. Ive always thought that you have to put some of you in stories, I mean, imagine the story as a car, and you are the fuel, I mean, not literally you but your imagination. A car cant move without fuel, as a story cant move without the reader (or the listener) imagination. Thing is, people usually trash talk story tellers and people who enjoy what story tellers do just for the sake of not enjoying them themselves, and i don't really know if this is because they are dumb or maybe just because they are really jealous of the ability of the reader to create an imaginary environment to entertain themselves in. When i was a kid, I remember sitting under a tree in the worms afternoon from Kabul, surrounded by the heat coat the sun gave us at the time, only me and what I consider my best friend to the date, Hassan. I used to read stories for him, well, i made them up most of the times as he didn't really payed attention to them, or maybe he did but he just never understood them, Its not that I care tho, I was pretty happy with him pretending to be fine with my stories, he made me feel accomplished so that was great, it just felt so great to be able to escape reality even in the toughest of all times, I could escape by using nothing else but books and imagination, and I would always bring Hassan if possible.




I think there have been two phases of my writing "career", the one when i wrote just for banter, and the one where I was actually writing so my art could reach every corner of the world, and I received a huge boost to take the step to jump from one to the other one, that boost was called Rahim Khan. Rahim Khan was was of my dad´s friends, and he was what I saw the most as a role model to follow as I was growing up. This guy was the first person to take one of my stories, read it, and criticize it, and he did not only criticized it, but he praised it at its own was, he said it was pretty good, that was just the best that had happened to me in the longest time. My birthday, not so long after he had read my literal work and analyzed it, he came to the party and gave me the greatest gift I received that evening, and it wasn't something expensive, it was something you can maybe buy at any store but it had something none of the gifts had, a meaning beyond the package. After that day i starting writing my stories in the notebook Rahim Khan had given me, this were real stories tho, stories that besides letting you escape, they teleport you, to a place where you can be yourself, a place with no boundaries.




After that my author life wasn't a roller coaster, I spend my days writing, doing what I enjoy the most as I still remember that notebook he gave me every time I grab a pen.

Sarah: So did you think about the in vitro fertilization of the child?

Vittorio: In fact, I thinked a lot and I´m against

Sarah: But... why, we have everything to make it, we have the money, the resources , etc... please, tell me why you don´t want to do it.

Vittorio: Because, I think this is an unnatural process for make a child and I´m not sure making this, I know we can do it but...

Sarah: Hey Vittorio, I know that you aren´t sure about your decision, but I promess you are going to be fine saying "yes". We can choose the sex of our child, his eye colour, his hair colour, etc. It is a better way for having a child, please believe me.

Vittorio: I´m sorry, but I´m not agree with this. I think that is inappropriate and we doesn´t have the right to decide those things, I preffer the natural way and is an elitist form to have a child. Furthermore this metod is for the people whom can´t have childs.

Diary

My son is a good boy, I still cant believe how amazing he is, he won the kite tourney! But I doubted, about his potential, I didn't  think he was going to win the tourney to be honest, I just told him that I thought he was gonna win to make him feel better, and more confident about himself. After all, I'm really proud of my son, I can say I am very lucky for having a kid like him. His ability with the kite was amazing tho, he managed to win, and cut the blue kite, and that guy with the blue kite seemed pretty good. Of course, Hassan was there too, cheering Amir up at every moment, he is a really good kid too, and Amir's best friend in my opinion. I hope Amir keeps like that, he may be, I don't really care if he writes books or poems anymore, because I think his mother should be proud too, I hope his friendship with Hassan never ends either, Its always nice having someone that you can rely on, its amazing. That may have been the happiest day of my life, that was the day, when I realized, I am very lucky for having the son i have, that was the day, I realized... I am very proud of my son Amir.

Racism




Photo of a racial graffiti sprayed across several houses on Church St, Ryde.
This graffiti is targeted at all the people who see it, to try and change the people mentality towards the islamic citizens.

(From author Chris Crass, from a book)

This poster shows one person from one different group, a black guy, an asian  etc. And all meeting their hand at one point, showing how they can work together, and it doesn't matter where they are from.

dignidadrebelde.com























I think dont think he would be bullied, not something even near that in our enviroment, so he would fit really good because we are not racist.
http://www.weirdworm.com




I can't really remember a "discriminatory incident" because all the "discriminations" i see in my school are minor, its like calling a Chinese guy, "Chino", but the problem doesn't goes any further than that, nobody makes a big deal about something that doesn't really matter because the Asian doesn't get bothered by the fact that they call him that way. Same with the foreigners. There are no black people in my school.

(I have the audio on the phone)

The kite runner:
You can see the racism by the difference between the two religious groups that were made, the Hazaras and the Pashtuns, being the Hazaras discriminated just because the Pashtuns had more power overall, so kid Hassan and his father Ali, were discriminated for belonging to the group that was being dominated at that time where the book develops.
