reservation tasks

An Indian reservation is a legal designation for an area of land managed by a Native American tribe under the US Bureau of Indian Affairs, rather than the state governments of the United States in which they are physically located. Each of the 326 Indian reservations in the United States are associated with a particular Nation. Not all of the country's 567 recognized tribes have a reservation, some tribes have more than one reservation, some share reservations, while others have none. In addition, because of past land allotments, leading to some sales to non-Indians, some reservations are severely fragmented, with each piece of tribal,individual, and privately held land being a separate enclave. This jumble of private and public real estate creates significant administrative, political, and legal difficulties.

Animal farm

Good morning, or should I say bad morning? Friends today I want to make you think about a heavy, very heavy problem, he is around 80kg and he drinks whiskey. The problem we have is our dictator, Napoleon. Does any of the present animals know what this horrible animal? If he is still an animal, because he drinks whiskey, use human’s cloths and he sleeps in a bed. This are not the good things he had made, if you think this is bad hear this, he killed animals , for example out big friend boxer who was supposedly going to see a medic, but the true is that he was sold by Napoleon to a glue factory, he spend the money in whiskey. Do you remember the wind mill?, all that food we collected was sold, that is why we were so hungry, all the money was obviously used to buy whiskey. If all this horrible things give me the right to be against Napoleon Do I have to mention that he changed the old major statements, for example old major said: "No animals should sleep in beds”, but he added “without sheets” so he sleeps now in a bed. All this made me think and we must make to Napoleon all the bad things he made to all of us, don’t let them eat, work hard, suffer, and finally die how our friend boxer did. All this will liberate our farm and we will be in the lead of snow ball who have a secret hours near or farm, he will lead us to a proper future, long live the animal farm!

Corrected writen assignement

Dear Rahim Khan,

 

 

I’m writing to you because I need to tell you something very important that happened to a very near friend from whom I have a lot of affection. I decided to tell you this awful event because I can’t stop thinking of it, so coming to America, I decided to tell this to someone, there is where you appear, I personally trust in you so I know you will keep this in secret between you and me.

 

 

This awful event happened the same day that Hassan and I made history winning the Kabul kite tournament. When I cut the last blue kite, Hassan start running that blue kite. After 2 hours he doesn’t come back with the kite, so I start to worry about him, so I make my way to searched for.

 

 

I asked to a Street seller about a Hazara boy with a blue kite, and he said to me that 3 boys were running behind him, in that moment I got scared and I felt resentment, so I started running. Finally I found Hassan in a Street with Assef and his friends, what I saw i there was something I had never seen, Assef was abusing of Hassan, and I saw all and I didint  helped him.

 

 

After that happened Hassan was much timid when he talked to me and I don’t like that, so I started to bother him, because I don’t feel comfortable knowing what happened to Hassan and I didint  help him. This is why in my party I hide my new watch under Hassan’s pillow, and I told my father were I found my watch. My father forgive the hazaras, but they went away because they felt guilty. They went  to Hazarayat after leaving our house, until they left I haven’t seen Hassan. After that I came to usa, so I need to know what happened to Hassan's life, this is the reason why I’m writing to you, because I’m worried about him, and I want to make sure he understands why I wanted to blame him when we were just kids. that was a very hard time in my childhood, after that event my life changed over, I was alone with no friends after Hassan and ali left Kabul , then the soviet soldiers invaded Kabul, me and Baba left Afghanistan and moved to usa. Here Baba worked in a very big gas station where he was in charge of the cash machine. In my case I’m finishing the school in a Little college in San Francisco near my apartment. Actually I’m very happy with my new life here, I met a attractive girl named Soraya, she love my stories. My stories had a big progress with the recommendation’s you gave me, so all is going well to me here, but I miss Kabul, all that precious time I passed in that lovely city, all that good and bad adventures with my best friend Hassan, all those kite tournaments we won with Hassan, and all the kites he run for me, I really miss Hassan and Kabul.

 

 

So all this can show you how much I need you to find Hassan and said what I had said you between this letters, I must thank you and I will wait for your answer.

 

 

Best regards

 

Amir.

Corrected Rationale

The kite runner novel consists of a story that takes place in Afghanistan, were 2 boys, Amir and Hassan pass over a lot of funny and serious problems, this ends when the boys separate, and Amir moves to USA because of the soviet invasion in Afghanistan. Then they remember each other, but Hassan died and Amir goes to Afghanistan to get Hassan's son. My letter to Rahim Khan is related to the story because I include real secenes that happened in the book . My letter goals is to finish the book in other way, because if Rahim Khan tell this to Hassan is posible that he doesent die, and meet Amir. The goal will be reached by the stories that I include in the letter and the solution that I give of the problems that presents in the story. This will be a letter, to the people that had read the book, is a semi-formal register because is between 2 friends.

similarities between book and movie

In the movie we can see a lot of similarities I personally there is no general details the movie doesn’t have, one of the similarities I fond reliable is that Amir have a lot of remembers when he saw the Hassan’s son, he remember his Hassan. Other one is that the events are exactly in the same adore in the movie and in the book. The last one is the cloths that in the book are described, here the cloths are the same, when they describe the cloths that Hassan’s son wear when he dances are the same.

The differences that I found between the movie and the book are not big, the first one is that in the book said that Amir broke 7 bones when he fight with assef, but in the movie he can walk and pass over a Wall and he only got hurt an eye. In the book assfe said to Amir something like he helped the Taliban’s, but I don’t understand this part, but in the movie I don’t hear it. And in the movie we can see a more convinced Amir, I think what he said is very serious and in the book he is more like poor in language theme.

Diary entry from the test

20, May of 2015

 

 

Today was one of the best days in my life, because a ´special success in Amir and in my life. After all the challenges in Afghanistan the kite contest was near so I thought in Amir and Hassan, they are a very good team in this spectacular sport we practice in Kabul and in all the country. So I buy a nice red kite for the contest, the sellers said me that this kite will win the big contest of Kabul, Amir and Hassan usually make their kites themselves, but in this opportunity I buy the kite.

 

The contest starts and the boys were good, after 3 hours of fighting the boys were exhausted, but there was only 2 kite remaining and Amir in a good move cut the kite and they won the contest.

 

I felled very happy for my son and for Hassan who was going to get the winner kite, because if they don’t get the blue kite they doesn’t demonstrate that they won and Baba is not going to be proud f Amir, so Hassan started running searching for the kite.

 

I said Amir that I love him and I will love him more if he brings me the winning kite, so they did this and I make a party to celebrate this because their winning.

The target in this poster is that the boy spares the black m&m’s with the others, and this must not be like that they all go together, that is the target.

In this section I can show with you an interesant story about two mates and friends, one they one of mi friends, the white one was bothering the other one, that he is black, about a particular problem that they had between them, the problem is that the problem began in a discussion, and then a racism fight.

5-. The opinion of Juanita Larrain, physics teacher: “Can you honestly say that I’m better than you? Or you are better than me?,

Only because our hair color, maybe by our skin, maybe lighter or darker. The value of the human being it’s not based in how tall they are, how fat they are or the color of skin they have, the value of the human being can be based under actions how they talk about real life, doing good things and contribute to make this world a better place, its impossible to say that my skin might be lighter or darker. I will not do the right thing, or I will do the right thing”.

As a consequence of this ideology the mass have the control to the state, region or country”.

Tarea escrita 2

“EFECTO FIFA”

Un gran tema de interés y preocupación que ha estado rondando en las redes sociales es el caso de corrupción en la FIFA, manejada por Joseph Blatter, el presidente de la FIFA reelecto 5 días antes de esta noticia que impacto a el planeta.

Se investiga que Joseph Blatter y 7 integrantes de altos cargos de la FIFA han sido sobornados en una gran cantidad de ocasiones.

Un tema el cual preocupa a todo el mundo en general, ya que la FIFA es la organización más grande del mundo y tiene una gran influencia en como las personas ven a esta entidad. La imagen de esta gran institución queda dañada frente al público, este tema no es nuevo realmente, ya que se conocían casos anteriores en que funcionarios de la FIFA han recibido sobornos desde que se creó la institución. Los investigadores que durante 17 años siguieron las transacciones de la FIFA y encontraron los ingresos no declarados fueron los policías de investigación estadounidenses.

Esta información fue extraída del polémico texto que escribió el escritor y periodista Álvaro Vargas Llosa, su texto es llamado ”La mafia del futbol”, el cual trata de la corrupción que se observa en esta gran institución llamada FIFA y todo lo que la rodea.

Alvaro Vargas Llosa es un reconocido escritor y periodista Peruano, el cual escribe de los temas más recientes y polémicos de la actualidad. Alvaro es hijo de Mario Vargas Llosa Reconocido escritor en américa y en el mundo por su premio nobel de literatura en el año 2010.

Este ensayo se  escribe para poder demostrar lo que sucede con el actual presidente de la FIFA Joseph Blatter y la gran  organización, que desarrolla los eventos deportivos más vistos y en los cuales fluye una cantidad enorme de dinero, la cual está involucrada en la grave situación de sobornos que están siendo investigados.

Sobre este tema surge la siguiente pregunta: ¿Que grupos sociales son marginados en el texto?

 

En este caso los mayores afectados son los jugadores, árbitros, dirigentes, y todas las personas involucradas en este gran deporte mundialmente conocido. Esto no es agradable para los involucrados que son inocentes ya que este tema envuelve a todos y los culpados por este caso de corrupción declarados por la policía de investigación de Estados Unidos, dejan a este deporte y a los dirigentes responsables con una reputación manchada por la gran corrupción que lamentablemente se presenta en esta institución y en el deporte.

 

 

Este tema lo podemos corroborar dando un gran suceso cuando se pasaba por periodo de votación en la FIFA, el tema a discutir era la sede del mundial de fútbol en el año 2022, en este caso el país a elección fue Qatar, este país está ubicado en el Oeste de Asia. Pero había un serio problema con esta decisión, los médicos se oponían por los riesgos que este presenta para los seleccionados y toda la gente que iris a este mundial de fútbol.

El verano en Qatar es sufrido por los turistas, ya que las temperaturas son cercanas a los 40 grados Celsius. Esto es lo que preocupa a el cuerpo médico de la FIFA, los cuales se oponen a arriesgar a los futbolistas a estas temperaturas, ya que se han observado muertes por desmayos en partidos jugados,   lo que ellos tratan es evitar alguna tragedia mayor. Esto fue hablado con Blatter pidiendo que haya un cambio de época para que el calor sea menor y esta fue su respuesta: "Todavía tenemos que definir el momento del año en el que se disputará la Copa Mundial de 2022, pero seguimos adelante con los planes. Como he dicho, sólo un terremoto podría hacer que nos replanteáramos la decisión. Con los elementos actuales, no hay motivos para dar marcha atrás" esta fue la respuesta de Blatter ante la petición de los médicos.
 

Esto es muy sospechoso desde el punto de vista de las acusaciones sobre sobornos a los dirigentes de la FIFA por la compra de su voto, raramente Blatter voto por Qatar siendo un total riesgo para todos y él se niega a cambiar la fecha de este, nadie sabe porque, pero esto está siendo investigado y luego se sabrán los motivos de su decisión. Según investigaciones en Inglaterra serian 5 millones de dólares que pago Qatar a la FIFA para salir electo.

 

Algo que sucedió a nivel nacional es el comentario que realizo Mauricio Pinilla, Volante de la Selección Chilena, ante el caso de corrupción que se presentó en la FIFA. Pinilla, muy molesto por el caso hizo público su comentario en una entrevista previo a un partido, el respondió respecto a la pregunta propuesta por el entrevistador, él dijo: "No podemos soportar este tipo de abusos en este precioso deporte, La pelota no se mancha". Al mencionar esa frase se recuerda a lo dicho por Maradona en el mundial del año 1988. Aquí es donde uno puede darse cuenta de cómo estos casos de corrupción en la organización más grande del mundo puede afectar personalmente a un jugador el cual no creía tener ese punto de vista del deporte que el lleva en las venas y defendería hasta la muerte, según lo dicho por Mauricio Pinilla.  

Un caso que estremeció y planteo dudas en la FIFA fue el caso en las clasificatorias del mundial en el año 2010 cuando Irlanda y Francia disputaban un partido decisivo para ver quien alcanzaría un puesto en el mundial de Sudáfrica. Francia se encontraba un gol abajo de Irlanda, lo cual dejaba a Francia fuera del torneo. Francia, por su desesperación tuvo que utilizar un último recurso, la trampa.En este caso el culpable seria Thierry Henry jugador de la escuadra francesa que en último minuto de partido recibe un balón con la mano, lo cual no está permitido, y logra dar pase con la mano a un compañero para poder anotar el gol. Esto fue un caso que instauro muchas dudas sobre la FIFA, ya que el director técnico de Irlanda no puso ninguna denuncia en contra de la selección francesa por haber hecho esto, es allí donde se supo que la FIFA había sobornado a los dirigentes irlandeses con 5 millones de euros para no denunciar este caso. Esto fue muy desagradable para los jugadores Irlandeses por saber que hubiesen podido estar en el torneo más importante del mundo si no fuese por la tremenda corrupción que los rodeaba, por este caso muchos seleccionados irlandeses renunciaron a la propia selección y olvidaron el tema que tanto los afecto sicológicamente.

 

Finalmente podemos sintetizar que si es que algo puede alterar el orden de las cosas, es el dinero. Es así como muchas clases sociales, son afectadas por la culpa de unos cuantos funcionarios que no respetan el derecho de los jugadores, del público, y a todo lo que socialmente representa este deporte, que se ve muy contaminado en este momento. Lo peor no ha pasado, las generaciones futuras no tendrán opción, si es que ven estos ejemplos de gente supuestamente correcta haciendo este tipo de estafas no aprenderán de buena forma si es que no es detenido, por eso mismo se investigan todos estos casos y posteriormente sabremos como esto se resolverá y así terminar de raíz con este polémico tema.
