Hotel Rwanda

What caused two tribes of people who lived in peace for hundreds of years to build up hatred for one another?What reasons do they describe for their dislike,How is the hatred spread? How do they justify the horrible things they do?-Because of the Belgian's that came down to colonize Rwanda. After that happened the Rwandian people were kept in the same tribes they were in before the colonization known as the Tutsis and Hutus. The Tutsis were the people that the Belgians liked more, because they were taller and had smaller noses.(looked more like white people). and the Hutus were treated as the lower class persons. And when the Belgians pulled out the Tutsis kept there higher class ways. Hutus on the other hand started hating the Tutsis for thinking they were better then them. And just waited to make an uprising And did :C. The Hutus were just thinking that they needed to be eliminated.(because they were
"cockroaches"

Rwanda: A Brief History of the Country :My info from a different site

What similarities from other countries or historical events do you see?
- You can also see this type of... behavior from the Nazi army in WW2. The Nazis rounded up Jews,Blacks,Gays and other types that they disliked in Europe. There are a whole bunch of similarities here by the mass killing of a certain group of people, and one group thinking that they are better then one another.
or North Korea millions have died due to starvation (or insufficient necessities) because the North Korean government doesn't help with the aid of their peoples. Just like the way the governments though-out this conflict were. Also the propaganda used in the movie with the radio "cut the tall trees". Korea also does this but making the people there all think that Kim Jong 1 is the leader of everything.

What sort of reaction do you have to watching the film?
- I don't need to say its terrible thing and should never happen... because it shouldn't EVER happen.
My reaction was why do these people need to fight I know that they have their differences but people should never need to resort to mass killings like this

Changes in paragraphs 1 and 2

PART 2 What really started the Rwanda Genocide APRIL 25th

- What really caused the genocide was that people didn't have a proper education. The people had no idea what they were doing was wrong. They were told "This is right, those people are bad kill them, they think they're better then you" and it sparked rage within the group of people. Also people are easily made to hate another group just because they have been told by a leader that "they have done wrong". this ties into what i said about North Korea because said leaders are putting out propaganda to show the people that others are trying to make your way of life end. They also have a leader telling his people that they should fight another group (ie USA) because they are the bad guy.

Report Card

What precent do i wish to get in the class;

I have not missed any classes other then the 2-3 days that we missed due to early dismissals. nor have i been late to any classes. I think for absents and late days (none)i should get -100%

i have complete all assignments and posts. But I should start putting a little more writing into the posts .Link to my blog under here. In the sense of being done all the posts 100% but with quality of them I would say 65% are "a"posts

http://sullicomm11.wikispaces.com/Alex+Trimpl+genius+project
Over all I would say for the work i've done i think i would be getting 60%ish range.

What percent of time do I spend on working on the tasks at hand. half and half. I work until I get my work done. But I need to make my blog posts longer
I think the mark i should get for this part would be 75%

For self regulation I would say I stay on task and I think i make a lot of effort towards my assignments 87%

Overall Quality of work (each Assignment)
http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1584505246760002809#allposts
link to all posts on blogger---^
-Hamlet Assignment : 75% decent amount of writing.
-Finding a song that relates to you: 85% went back to it to add a song and wrote more about that blog.
-Gladiator/ Persona blog post: 80-88% I would like to say I put a lot of work into that post.I also went back to the post to change and add things
-Hypothetical Tattoo: 85% I think I did a great job on this blog due to I already knew what i wanted and had some background/ knowledge to what I was getting
-"in ten years post"100% it was pretty straight forward I stated what I want to be and my life.
-exploring self personality test- 75% little writing but I got my point across

So due to all the reasons above I think I should be around the mark of 80%.
I have shown up to all classes and worked and completed all assignments.
Genius Hour is going well. Songs should be posted within a couple of days :D
All links above will prove why I think I should be getting said marks.


ADDED PART:COMMENT RESPONSE 

I do know I have to work on my grammar and my spelling. And I know that I need to slow down and maybe think a little more about the paragraphs I write 

.Thanks for the feedback

Hamlet reflection

I don,t think I can relate to most of the stuff in Hamlet. He's in a really bad spot. Dad killed by uncle and Mom marries him can't relate. But the feeling like   the whole worlds against you, who can't relate. I mean how many guys can say " I don't care about the girls..nahhh ill just go sit by myself" NONE. But I see myself as a upbeat positive,optimistic . but the days that do suck I listen to music that relate to that feeling and tell myself thats what you sound like STOP !!! then the exciting  faster tempo music comes in to make every thing better and I look forward to the times that will be had. And not dwell on the past. 

What do you think Shakespeare is trying to say about family, suicide, murder, love or life in general in his play Hamlet?
Shakespare is trying to say that Nobel families sucked back then and killed each other for power.(ie the uncle killing the king(his brother)so he could have the throne for himself.Murder gets you no where.The brother of Ophelia killing Hamlet then getting killed himself.Love can drive people to kill others and themselves. Love for Ophelia from her brother drove him to kill Hamlet, but Ophelia kills herself due to conflict of love for Hamlet and her father(whom was killed by Hamlet). And it is also teaching people that life can really suck sometimes.
