Animal Farm Speech

Fellow animals and friends

We are conscious of what's happening in the farm, so it's time to put an end to it! Napoleon took the power and now we are doing the things he say, his slaves. So,what are we waitinf for?

Not long ago we were living happily in the farm, defending animalism. But all things has a limit, and Napoleong already passed that limit and there is no way back for him, sadly. We perfectly knew Boxer, right? He's no longer with us because of him! And what about Snowball, our friend? Napoleong ordered to expell him from the farm. Maybe some of you think different, but you must understand that Napoleon washed your brains! The Old Major wanted for us to be equal, to be finally free of humans, but in the end, Napoleon is just like them. He started to act like them, to drink alcohol with them, is he really our leader? Think about farmer Jones. He treated us really bad, and he deserved the punishment of his own medicine. But Napoleon has done the same things, even worst things. He killed our mates! Why nobody can sleep in comfortable beds except for him? What about the windmill? We all worked really hard to achieve Napoleon's aim, be he just stood there and forced us without stopping. In addition, when the windmill exploded, he ordered to re-build it, and again we worked unhappily and tired. 

But now, my friends, it's time to react. We will go all together and confront Napolon for all those things he had done. Or we'll still obbey his orders and live in this dominated farm? Let's fulfill our whish!

Written Task Corrected Kite Runner

September 4th, 1975

Dear Baba,

I'm writing to you because Ali asked me to. I'm a friend of his, so I'm writing the letter because, as you know, he's illiterate. He wanted to write to you so much, he reallly wanted to explain why, after 40 years, suddenly decided to leave the house along with Hassan. So I will concede his wish.

It has been 40 years, in which we treated each other as brothers. I'll never forget that moment, as a child, when your father finally adopted me, those years where I grew up with you. Making silly things, the mischief you and I used to cause. I know you got confused when I told you that both of us were leaving the house, because Hassan told me everything.

I'm sure you remember exactly the kite tournament, Amir cutting the last kite, Hassan said it as a bright blue one, a cool one. So when the kite started falling down, you were so happy and distracted that you didn't realize Hassan wennt straight away to the place were the kite was supposed to land.

So he went alone, he ran through the paths and ended in a cold alley near the bazaar, and he actually found the kite - you know Hassan never fails at it -. But his happiness of finding the kite lasted only  a few seconds.
Assef knew about the kite tournament, so he waited, together with Wally and Kamal, to be ended so he could talk to him about their unfinished business. But, while they where waiting near the bazaar, they saw a boy running through the alleys, It was Hassan. And in that moment Assef remembered how rude he was when they met together with Amir, so Assef and the other two guys started chasing him.
So when Hassan finally found the blue kite (the one that I mentioned before), he turned back and found Assef and the other two. Assef asked nicely if Hassan could let them the kite he was holding in his hands. But, the worst thing is the person who was also there, hiding behind a corner: Amir.

So Assef told Hassan to give him the kite so he "would forgive him for his rudeness". And of course, he said no. So Assef proceeded to insult my "stupid hazara boy". So Assef decided to let him keep the kite, but you know nothing is free in this world. Assef final words were "I'll let you keep the kite. I'll let you keep the kite so it will always remind you of what I'm about to do": he raped Hassan.

He raped him with no compassion. You know Amir was there, right? Well, he could just step into the alley and stand up for all the time Hassan did it for him in the past, and I'm sure you think the same thing, or he could have run. While Hassan was with his face towards the cold wall, he remember seeing a boy coming out of the alley and running alone.

It maybe be surprising for you,but the reason Amir hid his watch and the bills under Hassan's pillow was because he felt so guilty that he only wanted no longer to see Hassan again. That's why I decided to leave the house, so I ask you a favor. Don't ever think I forgot those 40 years, because I haven't done it.

I hope you both take care,

Best wishes,

Ali.

Written Asignment Kite Runner Rationale Corrected

Rationale

The Kite Runner tells a story of fierce cruelty and redeeming love between Amir, a young afghan boy, and the main characters. specially Hassan, a loyal hazara kid, a friend of Amir. Both loved to fly kites, until something happens that breaks with their fondness for the game.

The letter that I'm going to write explains the reason of why Amir and Hassan stopped seeing each other, just as Baba stopped seeing Ali in a specific event inside the story.

I will mention how Ali tells Baba about Hassan's rape through an emotional letter. In addition, the 40 year-relation between Ali and his friend. Finally, an important detail, where Ali tells Baba that Amir was also there hiding when Hassan was fiercely raped, but ran.

The reason I chose a letter was because it fits perfectly with my purpose and aim, and also it fits with the time the novel is set. And the use of language in the letter is informal.

Discussion dialog:

Reductant: I'm not sure of the IVF decision, because I will be holding in my arms a test tube baby and not my son.

Eager: I disagree with your point of view. The in vitro fertilisation is just a modern way to choose our child sex, in our case a boy.

Reductant: I know that the in vitro fertilisation is a chance to make sure our child is going to be a boy, but it's completely unnatural and feels wrong. You know how important the moral is for me.

Eager: You may be right, but IVF is a medical solution to our problem, and we have enough money to afford it. Just think about it, having a girl and a boy. We will be such a happy family, and we will not be dealing with girl problems that are so hard to underestand.

Reductant: Yeah, I think so. So it's decided, let's go together to have our litle boy!

Correction Written Part "The Kite Runner"

Winter, 1975

Dear Father,

I'm writing to you because I want you to know the reason of my behaviour these days, the reason why I arrived at home the day of the kite tournament bleeding.

As you know, Amir and I took part of the tournament, and we won, it was great! But it lastedd only the ame afternoon. When the tournament finished, I told Amir I would fly the blue kite for him, the precious kite he had won, but then I was so distracted that I ended running the kite near the bazaar. I was so distracted that I didn't realize it was getting late, that I needed to come back with Amir, but the worst, I didn't realize that Assef, Wali and Kamal were following me all the time.
In the end, when I started running, they stalked me in one of the alleys, the alley that changed my life from now on.
Assef forced me to give him the blue kite, but I knew that a servant must be loyalto his owner, so I denied. So he got angry and charged me, hold me and with Wali's and Kamal's help, he raped me.

That's the reason why I arrived bleeding all the way back. But when Assef was doing such horrible thing, I barely saw someone's foot on the back of the alley, I know it was Amir, no doubt about it. Now, I will never smile again.

I'm sure it is all Amir's fault, because I had never failed to him, and in the worst situation of my entire life, he betrayed me and dind't do anything.
I'm sure you will do something about it, because someone who will never betray is you, father.

Best Wishes,

Hassan.

New Zealand Task B

Some of the cultural elements of New Zealand is they're multi-cultural, and they can easily include everybody who come either on holidays or exchange. Also the Maori culture influence in New Zealand was really interesting. They are so many places that are related to Maori, for example in Te Papa museum their is a section of lots of Maori buildings, houses, etc.
Some of the things that are different from Chile is the huge amounts of green zones, the New Zealanders takes serious care about the grass and the tress, making it look good. Another difference is the car wheel is on the right side of the car, just like England. This is added when we cross the road, because they have told us that when we want to cross, we must look to the right side, and it is and important detail if we don't want to get hit by a car.
But their was a huge difference of Chile that surprised me, and it is that New Zealanders can start driving at the age of 16, because they consider that they old enough to learn one of the most important things in your life, which is your transport.

New Zealand Task A

What it is to be a New Zealander? A question I had made myself many times in my stay here in New Zealand, and I had noticed it is a very different life and routine.
 I realized that New Zealanders are so kind , and you don't have to worry about taking so much care of your things, because if for some reason they find someone's stuff, they will know that they have to bring it back.
Also, I had seen that my family have a strict daily routine, that starts at the morning ( 6:30 am ) on school and work days, and it ends at 9 pm for the boys and later for the parents. The students here in Scots start school at 8:45 and it ends at 3:30, and depending of the individual activities of each one after school, they either stay at school or go home.
The New Zealanders knows that at 5:30 pm is already dark, and most of the people go home before it's totally dark for security and also because it gets cold. And because of it, their day is much shorter than our days in Chile.
And, in my opinion, the most important thing of New Zealanders is they're multi-cultural. Here in Scots College, Wellington, I could appreciate color people, Asians, and people from different religions and different parts of the world. It's maybe because Scots accepts lots of exchanges, like us, and they include them in their society really fast and kindly, as one of them.

Task Kite Runner Chapters 8 & 9

Chapter 8:

1) On the way to Jalalabad, Amir gets dizzy and sick, because he sat in the back row of the van, and everyone was talking loudly and nearly shreaking.

2) Amir answers him he wouldn’t go, that he better go alone, Amir was clearly cruel with Hassan who only wanted to be with him.

3) When Amir and Hassan went for the second time to the pomegranate tree, Hassan asked Amir to read him a story, but just before turning to the first page, Amir picked up and over-ripe pomegranate that had fallen to the ground, and asked Hassan what would he do if he throws him the pomegranate. Hassan didn’t answered, and Amir throwed it to Hassan, but Hassan only stood up. Amir was furious and frustrated because he wanted Hassan to throw him back a pomegranate on his face to punish him by the episode of Hassan’s rape. But Hassan stay calmed, and Amir throwed dozens of pomegranate to Hassan, and at the end, Hassan took one but he throwed it at his own overhead. Amir, angry, tells to Hassan he’s a goddamn coward.

4) Assef gifted Amir a book, it was a biography of Hitler.

5) Rahim Khan tells Amir when he almost got married with Homaira, a Hazara and the neighbor’s servant daughter, when he was eighteen. But when he told about it to his family, they got inmediately against him and they sent Homoira and here family to Hazarajat. He told his story because he wanted to tell Amir that “In the end, the world always win. That’s just the way of things”.

Chapter 9:

1) Rahim Khan’s Notebook,

2) Amir was very gratefull and happy by Ali and Hassan’s present, but at the same time, sad because he knew that the book wasn’t the unworthy for him, but he was the unworthy for a present of them.

3) His watch and a handfull of Afghani’s bills he placed under Hassan’s mattress.

4) Because when Baba asked Hassan if he actually stole to Amir, he answered he did stole him, so in that moment Amir realized Hassan knew he saw him in the alley, and he was doing his last sacrifice for him, although it may be his last moment in the house.

5)  Because Amir and Hassan used to watch those films. 

Fairtrade Task

March 18th, 2015

Dear Jack,

I'm writing to you because of the other day, when we spent all the night talking about a why to stop poverty in the world. Today in the morning, I was reading the newspaper while eating breakfast, before going to work, and I saw an article about "Fairtrade" association, in charged of making a strategy for poverty alleviation. I got interested, but I was late so I decided to search for it at work.

When I arrived, I started searching about "Fairtrade", and I was amazed! Its purpose is to create opportunities for producers and workers who have been economically disadvantaged by the conventiional trading system.

Fairtrade works by helping small companies of poor countries in th market. How? They take the companies products and take them to, for example. Europe. In the market of Europe, the products will have the Fairtrade logo, so people can know the cause and buy them. Those products will be more expensive, the reason is that a percentage of the price goes to the producers or workers.

It's an excellent project for world poverty, so when we go buying anything at a market, we have to look for those products, buy them and then we will be helpig the cause that we have been discussing so much.

I hope to see you soon,

Regards,

Gonzalo Vidal P.
