Articles: Rwanda*

I read the article 10 years later in Rwanda, The dead are ever present and children of the genocide, both articles were very sad and touching. The author's tried to let others know how life was to the suffering people in Rwanda. There are children in Rwanda who live alone and have no parents, some live on the streets because adoption centers don't have enough room to keep every child, they are hoping to make a center to help people especially kids. The tragic that happened 10 years ago in Rwanda still has not been fixed, families still have no recovered.The articles impact me a lot, i am still in shock that people in Rwanda are still suffering from the tragic which happened 10 years ago, and thinking about recent tragedies in Haiti, i feel guilty because most people in British Columbia ,Canada are so lucky. The authors explains and gives a lot of facts which are tragic, they fit in vocabulary so we can picture things in our heads.

Comments

Are you sure his intentions were good? When is it good to kill someone? It is a difficult decision to make? Deciding whether or not he is a tragic hero? You have to think about what one is and then think about all the things he did before you make your decision. As you have indicated, you need to do some more reading. Are you understanding the play some more now? I am glad that you are enjoying the presentations. You have some good observations about how technology is impacting us too.:)

Tragic Hero

Im my opinion, i am not quite sure if Macbeth is a tragic hero. His actions were terrible however his intentions were good. Macbeth really wanted to have power and decide to do everything to gain it, it got in and over his head that it erased the wrongs and rights that he knew. I must do alot of reaserach and read points from various websites to decide if Macbeth is a tradgic hero. After doing a little bit of reaseach, i have decided that Macbeth is a tragic hero indeed, he is not a bad person but he just had many tradgic flaws

Presentations

I thought the presentations were really interesting, I enjoyed the video clips that 2 groups acted out, it was really funny however a bit inappropriate. The presentations were very creative, many groups used technology.IT was different this time because i guess you involved the class with technology with blogging and that technology was a suggestion given out that we could use for this project,that everyone decided to chose it because no many people have tried it before. Using technology in presenting our parts of the scenes was a succes, everyone seemed more organized and interested.

How does power corrupt?

Power may corrupt one's mind, it changes one in many negative ways. Power makes one make bad decisions and take part in bad actions. Macbeth was corrupted by power and ambition, he wanted to have power so badly he killed King Duncan and felt guilty of his crimes and wrong doings. However, it did not stop him , he still decided to go through with his plans. Macbeth was so set on having power that it ruined his life, he was willing to do everything he could to empower but in the end he ended up dead. Power corrupts one because it changes ones decisions, actions and behaviors.


What could destroy or build a person's self worth?

Power can destroy ones self worthiness if you one is not open minded. One's self worth has something to with respecting oneself and being oneself while not letting anything or anyone get in the way of taking over your actions. Self worth can be destroyed by not respecting oneself letting something get in over your head, not in control of your actions and your mind allowing one to make bad decisions for something you want. For example, macbeth killing and lying , making Lady Macbeth die because of wrongs he did himself. Self worthiness can be built by being incontrol of one's life, knowing what you can and cannot do for somethings you want. Self worthiness is important to be successful

Today i got a clearer understanding of tragic heroes of macbeth and the definition of a tragic hero. I saw very many clips on youtube on Macbeth which made me understand it very well.I looked for a few verses in Macbeth which was very interesting.This Tragic hero project is not really working for me because i think our project is harder then the other people in our class because its more complicated and id rather do a verse. This process is working for me because i love working as a group because i can hear everyone's opinions and ideas which helps with my thinking. However working in the computer room doesn't work for me because i get side tracked.

Let's catch up
