In the name of the father

The movie’s about the conflict between the Catholics in Eire (The Republic of Ireland) and the Protestants in Ulster and in England.

The main character is an Irish man called Gerry Conlon and all his family and friends. Especially his old friend from high school, Paul Hill. After Gerry has gotten into a lot of trouble in Belfast he decides to travel to London where he stays with some old friends who lives there.

It's a sad story. It makes my cry inside. When a irish man is getting punished, for something he didn't do.

I like this way, working with poems

I like this way working with poems, because everyone has differents thoughts and feelings about the poem. And we could show our feelings and thoughts, when we are adding some music and pictures to the poem. It's a good way, to show others what you think about the poem, and you can also help people understand it.

Task 7

I think national stereotypes could be possible, but every single human is different. I know many black people who can't run fast, like forexample my friend Mathias, he isnt a fast runner. So you can't say that every single black man is a fast runner. But all the pakistanish men Iknow, is so full of crap. The men hits there women, and if there daughter wants to marrie a Norwegian man, he kills his daughter, because he wants honor. Thats why I don't have respect for the pakistanish stereotype. But this could be a problem, because it makes me hate the pakistanish guys. And that could make me do racisme.

So be carefull, because every single human is different. Don't do like me, because it could be some nice pakistanish men.

The teather

I think the theater was good, because they did the whole story on just one stage, with good acters. But I think the movie was better, beacuse it is much better on english, and the acters in the film are far better. The teather was more like the book, it was more information, and that was the thing that was better than the movie.

It was cool to see the story live, but now I'm tired of this story to be honest. I have seen it, and talked about it to much now.

Mice and men


This is a very cool an interesting book. The main characters George and Lenny make the story good, because they have a interesting story to tell. Lenny and George are immigrant-workers, so they move from place to place, to get a work, and the story takes place in 1930s. Lenny is a big man. He loves animals, like dogs, rabbits, and mice. As the kind man he is, heonly got one problem. He's "retarded" some kind of handicapped, in the way that he acts like a 5 year old. And one more problem he has is that he cant controll his physical strenght. George, is the one taking care of Lenny. Lenny does everything George tells him to do, and they have a speacial friendship, and friendship its one of the main theme in this story. But this isnt just a friendship. George has to "pay" alot when he's taking care of Lenny, beacuse Lenny often messing things around. So George is also taking care of Lenny because he dont want to be lonely, something that I think is the second theme of the story.

In this story, you will see special types of friendships, like forexample animals and peoples. Loneliness its also something you will see in this movie, forexample a wife, that cant ttalk to someone, because his husband wont let her.

A very good movie, it gave me many thoughts, and it is some strong moments you should see.
