Thaw with her gentle persuasion is more powerful than Thor with his hammer. The one melts, the other breaks into pieces. 
Henry David Thoreau 

Opinion Response

        Being able to speak freely, is one of the human rights. In this article they talk about a girl in swat that is shot for telling facts,through a blog, about the Taliban taking over Swat. The main reason she created this blog is because she wanted to fight for another of her rights, the right of education. I think she was doing the right thing, people all around the world are afraid to speak, and that's why we are so corrupt, dishonest etc.... Because other people have allowed us to. If everybody around the globe wasn't afraid of standing up and saying, what you are doing is harming us all, the world would be Utopian. But we all know that will never happen.
       One thing I admire this little girl is that she is now a martyr just at the age of 13. I know it is sad that she was shot in the head, and I feel sorry for her, but in some way it is good, I don't want it to sound cynical, because she is now a martyr. People in her country will follow Malala's example. They will stand up and say you are wrong so that all the world now´s what the Taliban are doing wrong.

The Dowry reading response

I relate this chapter to the real life. The chapter starts showing a rebel girl that is soon going to get into big trouble. Then her parents decide to send her to Austria. My grandma had a maid that once decided to send her son to the US to look for a better life, just as in the book, also she promised to go and live with her in a few months. She never did, and that got the maid really sad, my grandma said to e she was never the same.

The Passport reading response

I relate this chapter with the problem in Cuba. In this chapter and in the book the people can´t get out of their country legally, so in both people escape to Turkey(in the book) or to Miami(in Cuba). In the book the uncle of the main character was sick and needed to go to England for surgery. Unfortunately his visa wasn't approved so he died. In Cuba this days the medicine is horrible, people that are very sick can die easily just because of the medicine, and in Cuba they aren't even allowed to leave in such case scenario.

The Sheep Reading Response

I related this chapter with all the holocaust movies, especially with Inglorious Bastards. In this movie they start killing the family of the main character and everybody escapes from the Nazis, by leaving their country. They all do this because the Nazis are killing them just for their beliefs. The same happened in this chapter, the  muslims killed people with different beliefs as theirs. So many people started leaving the country, and in the end they kill the uncle of the main character. And I also relate it with the holocaust movies because of the disagreement of beliefs.

Persepolis reading response

I relate this chapter it to the movie Even the Rain. In the movie people view the dead as martyrs, and take pictures of them, when it is forbidden, to show people what is happening. That is what happened in this chapter. The only thing I didn’t understand and can’t relate it to the book so, I will ask a question is; why did they laugh about the dead guy?

Through the chapter the characters talk about the war, they say it was forbidden, that they could die thanks to the rebellion, but that they would give their life for the country. Everyone that dies because they are fighting for their country is an automatic martyr. That’s what they do in the book. Another very important component in this chapter is the hope that all the characters have; they think one day they will be independent. In the book they also make reference of how the government is spending all their money in ridiculous celebrations. In the movie it is the same the government spends a lot of money in celebrations. The people are full of hope, like a character named Daniel leader of the revolution that almost lost his life. And in the movie they also talk about the government waiting all their money in unnecessary things like streets.

The veil, reading response

Why do they have to use a veil?

Why do the split in boys and girs?

Why is it so bad that her mother is on the cover of a magazine?

Why having a cadillac makes her want to be a prophet?

Why did her parents act normal in front of the teacher when she told them she wanted to be a prophet and then acted normal?

Gilgamesh Tablet XI

This tablet I had to relate it to another book, the bible. In this tablet they tell almost the exact story of Noah. Everything was the same even the order in which he dismissed the birds to search for land, the sacrifices he made. There was nly one thing different in gilgamesh the people helped utnapish, in noah arcs he had to build it alone. This tells me a lot about the bible, that not everything is true, because the bible came first. And te¿he end of this tablet was nothing exiting he finds a plant but they steel it, in my point of view that just stupid, maybe it has a meaning or something behind it. I will have to research. A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. Albert Einstein

Super Hero

Everyone looks up to you. They listen to you. If you tell them to fight, they'll fight. But they need to be inspired. And let's face it "Superman"... the last time you really inspired anyone ... was when you were dead.

Photo of Gilgamesh's Question

Where do we go when we die?

This picture represents the question because it includes the 3 parts of the main theory, heaven, purgatory and hell.


Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
Lao Tzu

Gilgamesh VI-VII

Were did Gilgamesh found out all of that about Ishtar? Why does taking the bull of heaven cause scarcity? what is the bull of heavens? What importance does the bull of heaven has? How does Gilgamesh know that the gods made sick Enkidu? Why does Enkidu talk about the hunter at this point of the story? Why is Enkidu cursing everybody? Why does Enkidu have this dream? What does the dream mean?


The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
Albert Einstein

Gilgamesh Tablets IV,V

I relate this part of the book with one personal experience I once had. Once I went on this trail, it wasn't for camping the idea was to cover everything in one day,but we had to walk a lot. And in the middle of the trail I started to have day nightmares, because we were supposed to enter some caves, and I was claustrophobic so I had nightmares that it would crash and fall down, dreams similar to the ones Gilgamesh had. And at the end I defeated fear like they did with Huwawa the difference is that my victory only lasted for a minute, then I got out of the cave.

The fear of death is the most unjustified of all fears, for there's no risk of accident for someone who's dead.
Albert Einstein

Gilgamesh I-III

The Tablets I-III i actually relate it to Thor, in Thor the Mjnonir comes to earth like a meteor and it was sent by the goods. That's the same thing that happens in Gilgamesh's dream, but instead of a hammer its a hairy man called Enkidu. But that's not the only relationship between this 2. The hammer of Thor is like Enkidu to Gilgamesh. Both stand always by the side of the other and never betray them. They are companions. The hammer may not convince you so much, but here is some evidence, the hammer only responds to thor camands and only Thor can grab it



He who does not trust enough, Will not be trusted.

Zebras By Owen Evans Published in the national geographic

From this picture you can infer many things. The first thing you can infer from this picture is that this 2 zebras are a couple and that they are like hugging. The second thing you can infer from this picture is that there is that this zebras are kind of having a sad moment. You can also inffer from this picture that animals are capable of loving, because we, takers, think that love is something only for humans, but this zebras are clearly in love.
