I’m kind of glad school is over. I’m not graduating but its all good. My best memory would have to be going to the plays and stuff like that. This year went by so fast it was so much fun here I think I have changed a lot in just this one year.i see the value of life and I have made a lot of friends this year. I wish I could just stay at school but I’m going to go home. I will always remember this one year I’m just Tyler now nothing else and I have made friends with all the teachers. I’m just glad that its all over.

I feel that we need to start making changes because we don’t want to have another dictator like in every one of the movies and the graphic novel a part of being human is repeating history and our history has a lot of dictatorship and violence. I think that we all will have to change to make sure history doesn’t happen again. And our history has been judge mental I mean we have the starting of having a black president. Anyway I think the best example is like in swing kids the rebels because they didn’t believe in the same thing as there dictator believed in and they were sent to camps and killed and beaten just for there beliefs. They were also rebellious with the music they listened to. They were also judged for where they lived.
In persepolis it was the government that was trying to dictate what people could do and wear and say pretty much. The women had to wear a veil over there faces and no one could drink or anything fun like that. I believe that’s what will happen if the government gets to powerful. Its probably worse than a dictator because it’s the government.
In concluson I believe that its in all of our power the make a better world. No more violence and no poverty and no more hunger and every other problem so just stop and think what will happen when you don’t. look to the future and help others.

HOTEL RWANDA
In Africa there are 2 types of religion hutu’s and the tutsi’s
And in the beginning of the movie there are 2 girls sitting by each other
One hutu the other tutsi , which was weird cause if you have seen the movie
They hated rach other. The reason for that is there great grand parents.
Paul the hotel manager keeps his friends and family from
Getting killed by the hutu soldiers, he bribed them with everything
He had, money, jewelry, beer.
Paul is changing from a hotel manager to a hero by making
Sure everybody gets to safety and everybody gets fed. On his way
back from getting food, a hutu soldier told him to go the back way
so he did and the driver couldn’t cause it was all foggy ,when the fog
started to clear, there were hundreds of dead tutsi all over the road,
they have been chopped up and shot, there were kids and adults.
At the end of the movie they get the un to send troops that will
Get them to safety.

Hotel Rwanda
My favorite quote was said by Cornel Oliver. he was a U.N. peace keeper in charge of protecting the lives at the hotel. His words were extremely important to me, and I quote “we are peace keepers, not peace makers.” I believe he meant that he must follow the rules of engagement, not to fire unless fired upon. That meant that they could not leave the hotel and just start shooting into random crowds of people. He was a great man who seemed to have no fear, at the time he only worried about the innocent lives at Hotel Rwanda. He did all he could to ensure he was at the hotel. Even when the Hutu’s entered through the gates after killing the guards he had posted their. He still kept his head telling his men not to fire. Soon after he begged Paul to let the refugees stay. I think that this part was crucial in helping Paul to open his eyes.
After Paul met cornel Oliver, and having seen nothing but death and destruction I noticed significant change in his personality and his ability to stay calm even when his family was in great danger. He wanted nothing more then to help as many people as he could. The big change was when he had been given a passport by Cornel Oliver to leave the hotel. When the time came to leave most the people at the hotel, he just couldn’t do it. He quickly got off the truck and said goodbye to his wife, thinking they would be safe. So he stayed with the people, he knew he probably wouldn’t make it.
I shall be keeping those words close to me. Not only are they meaning full in war or conflict, I can also see them being used in day to day life. I will never forget that movie, the lessons it has taught me have been stuck with me ever since we watched it. I shall always lead my life towards nothing but good, Paul is one amazing person, I wish I could have met him. He had great courage as well as Cornel Oliver.

If I where to live in a different place I think I would live in Amsterdam. People think drugs are all bad but I disagree depending on how you use them and why. Some drugs like magic mushroom or peyote I don’t think people should look down on, cause those drugs are not addictive and they make you think about things that you normly would not think about and in turn they can make you a smarter person. The thing that sucks about people being so agenst drugs is that most of those people that hate them so bad and want them gone is the people that have never tried them. Drugs can give you an understanding of life im not talking about hard man made drugs im talking about drugs that grow natruly. It sucks that the main reson drugs are illegal is because some people do not take them responsible and they make it so the public look down on drugs. But there is plenty of people that do drugs responabley. Think about it, if drugs made you completely stupid they would not be around cause anyone who took them would get caught.

This term is that last one of my whole high school life. I have been going to school for about 14 years now, 5 years straite with no break. Its not cause im dumb and cant learn its cause I would never fell like being in school sol I always sluffed with my friends. I am glad that school is almost over and I am ready to move on to collage. At first I was scared cause I was not sure how I was going to be able to move on with my life and start being an adult but now I have a better understanding and I have a plan so now I am starting to get exited about growing up. Im so glad that I don’t have to worry about not passing highschool anymore. Im not afraide that im going to be a loser.

If your going through hell keep going! I think this means that if your going through hell don’t stop and give up just keep going cause there is always an end to bad but there is never an end to goood so if your going through hell don’t give up. I think life really is what you make it. One way I know this is true is from experience. Like high school. It was majour hell but now that its almost over I am really exited cause I can do awesome things in my life now. Im more muture now so I think collage will be easyer then high school. A nuther example of when I was going through hell is with my girlfriend. I have been with her for 3 and a half years and we are still together. We have been together all through high school and sometimes that has been hard because sense we don’t go to the same school our curiosity about dating other people has caused problems but we worked out a way to stay happy by just taking a bread for a month and that’s all it took to make the curiosity away. People always tell me that 3 years is a long time but I really don’t think it is. 57 years is a long time, that’s how long my grandparents have been together.

Swing Kids
This movie was very good. I liked this movie because it showed how the Jewish people had to go through a lot to get what they wanted. This movie showed youth that put themselves in danger to do what they loved doing. They overcame many challenges and adversity. When they were forced to join the Hitler Youth they did what they were told, but when they went back home they were their own people again. The town these kids lived in was like a prison for them because they were always being watched and they could not do anything without the other Hitler Youth knowing.
The kids showed that they are willing to go to any extent to do what they loved to do. Dancing was their hobbie. They would do it even though they knew that it could get them into trouble. This showed that the kids were very brave and were not going to quit doing what they do just for an organization. These kids all overcame many challenges like getting up and doing what they believed they had the right to do. When Peter and Thomas first joined the HJ they did not really like it. It wasn’t until they seen things through the Nazi’s perspective that they started to succeed in the HJ activities.
Even though the kids were involved in the HJ they were still going out and dancing in the clubs. They knew what their consequences would be but they did it anyway. Eventually they were caught but they always seemed to get out just before the HJ seen that it wan them dancing. At the end of the movie it shows Peter being taken away to a concentration camp because he was caught in the club dancing. This showed that he didn’t care what the HJ thought about dancing he was going to be a Swing Kid forever and he let them know that when he was put into the back of the truck.
