Hotel Rwanda

I believe that both the sources and the film show, how the Rwandans were mistreated. Mistreated in the sense of how the European powers backed away from the Africans at a time when the Africans were in great need of them. Those Europeans that lived in the same environment as the Africans, when the Africans were being killed, no one cared. I say these were some perspectives in which the main powers of Rwanda didn't help the Africans. Source A shows you how the rwanda's future was in Rwandan hands. I think what this phrase means that after the Europeans forces backed away from Rwanda, Rwanda was all Rwandans had. They had to make decisions themselves. In source B, it shows how the Belgian soldiers went to the airport leaving the Rwandans to die. In the movie, there is a part where the UN commander said to Paul that there was no way out, and that the UN had no choice. As source C states, the European powers. instead of decreaceing the fire, they fueled the fire more by supporting th Hutus with arms. Overall, the Europeans took full pleasure of Rwanda when there was hardly any trouble, but when there was trouble, they were the first to back away.

Africa Cartoon

This cartoon represents the way the Europeans just came to Africa and mistreated the natives of the continent. This cartoon shows how Africa was kept underneath the boot. This boot is placed in the middle of the African map that gives the message that the Europeans took control of the whole continent and mistreated all the citizens of all the countries. This foot also shows how all the land was taken away from the Africans.

Scramble for Africa

I tried getting the western coast of Africa because Spain wanted to have their share of Africa there. Although I couldn't get that area I tried getting parts of the north, west, and east parts.
I wanted to get land before the other countries step in and call it their's. I wasn't very succesful because I had the least roll and I was at the very last in the turns. Red/ Great Britain won because they had a lot of land and they had most of their land in the coasts of Africa. I would say that Belgium lost because they have hardly any land. They had to give up all of their land at one point tin the game.

The 5 themes of geography in the book "Waiting for the Rain" are:
- When Tengo travels to Johannesburg by train on page 84-85
- The aparthied could be considered a region that separates the blacks from the whites and keeps everyone in their respective townships. On page 57-58 where Tengo is treated very badly in Frikkie's house.
- When Tengo and Emma drink cold drinks outside when it's hot on page 169
- Frikkie's house is a location on page 57-58
- Winchester drive #77, miller's house on page 90

Analyzing the Cartoon

This cartoon shows how England, the man, had too much power over too many countries. England is a man with tentacles reaching out to many countries. This man looks like he is very greedy and may be reaching out to other countries.

This cartoon shows how England had conquered many countries when it had the power. This is the main political issue of the cartoon.

I would guess that when designing this cartoon the author was thinking that England had too much power and that they had been conquering too many countries.

England with all its tentacles in so many countries, that is where I say the cartoonist feels this way.

Maybe the cartoonist could give a birds view of many English men/octopuses trying to get all the countries.

I think there is some evidence of CRAP. There are many colors and they are repeating. There are enough legs and enough countries on each side and there countries are all around.

Violence makes more Violence

Violence definitely makes more Violence. Here are three reasons why.
Firstly, if you take a look at many countries that seem to be going through conflicts, when one country bombs another country and kills innocent people, you get a immediate response with around another thousand people dead from a few more bomb blasts.
You can see conflicts everywhere. Secondly, in war. you can see more and more violence everyday.
And thirdly, in normal everyday fights with friends and family. Fights bring in more violence.

Leadership

The qualities of a true leader are that he or she can show respect towards others. Those leaders that think of others and pays heed to other peoples ideas. When you think of people and what they feel, then you should be a leader. If you do something that benefits everyone you are a leader.
to think about it, everyone is a leader. You are your life's leader. The way you choose to live it, is up to you.

I think that Avi has some of these qualities and so does Lucas. I say that everyone is a leader for themselves.
