intern presentations

the intern presentations were interesting yet boring. what struck me was that they all had to read their vignettes off of their paper!!! if you do a presentation you should have at least have it memorized as if this is a POL or TPOL were you have note cards with notes and not a paper with a script. the only one that i liked was the first one because she went into detail but not enough to overdo it.
i learned that i will want a hands on job because it is really likely that is i do not i will probably do bad and become bored and fail which would suck a lot. i will probably want to do like a animal one because animals are awesome and you can not get tired of all the animals in like three weeks.
the first one and the one about the little girl because they were the ones that actually made sense and kept me interested because all the other ones were too detailed and had no emotion.

Suheir Hammad & Marjane Satrapi on War

The quote " I will not dance to the bombs because every one is dancing" is confusing because is it meaning she will not run from bombs, she is not happy, or just does not care. I also think that she was trying to be different. "i will create my own drum, our chanting will be dancing, our humming will be drumming." i think that that means that she will go to war since that the drums before were war drums and that their war will not through violence but through music. "this heart beat is louder then death" struck me because it reminded me of the person that was burned to death and made a revolution for a random reason because his death was louder than a heart beat.
"Rhythm is half silence" is in rap and war they have rhythm."language can not math me" is a struck me because i agreed to it and also you can not say this with out something popping in to your head. "do not fear what has blown up" is talking about war and violence like marjane had to grow up with war and her neighbors house blew up. "smoke where once was flesh." was talking about the violence of revolution and war because the burning man and also when the people are bombed in war there is smoke after explosion

part two

they both have defined revolutions as an act of war. "sky where once was steel." it is talking about the world trade center and in Persepolis marjanes neighbors house was hit by a missile and was destroyed. "smoke where once was flesh." that was also talking about the buildings being destroyed in war and burning rubble of buildings. "or that evil is as simple as a flag and words on a page." is representing the revolutionaries revolting because they are being treated unfair. "women will have to bury children." is talking about war because the old do not go to war but the younger generations do and are killed or have post trauma after seeing their friends die in front of their eyes.

Malaasia

Malaysia is located above Indonesia and below Thailand. it is a group of island that are close to each other their are two different parts of Malaysia one is below Thialand and above Indonesia. the second one is located to the east and is above another part of Indonesia.

Some thing that is going on in Malaysia is that it is deforesting the forest faster than the rest of asia combined. every year they deforest 2 percent of their forest every year. the rest of asia only deforests 2.8 percent in five years! this is realy bad for the envirement because they are letting more carbon in the atmosphere. but the sad thing is that the land that they deforest gets turned into palm oil plantaintions.
