16. Hotel Rwanda

What caused two tribes of people who lived in peace for hundreds of years to build up hatred for one another? 
- The tensions between the Hutu and Tutsi peoples lead to a war in Rwanda because Tutsi people were told by the Belgians that the shape of their nose made them look more like white people and said that they were cooler and they are respected better which made the Hutu people very angry. They got angry because Tutsi were treated better then the Hutus because of their appearance even though they are the same.

What reasons do they describe for their dislike? 
- The reasons that they describe their dislike is because Tutsis are treated better and appreciated. 

How is the hatred spread? 
- The hatred was spread by radios, messengers and media. 

How do they justify the horrible things they do?
- President Habyarimana's plane was shot down, after that happened the Hutus started to attack  

What similarities from other countries or historical events do you see? 
-

What sort of reaction do you have to watching the film?

15 Report card mark

My total and total ownings
I've was late once for communications because I was getting help for Science, so I had an excuse slip. I missed one class but my nana called in to excuse me for my appointment. So i would give my self 97%.

I have completed all the assignments except for 2, which was the song that relates to me and the Gladiator response. I didn't do them because I really don't know what song relates to me and I really didn't get the whole persona thing. I would give my self 86% for that.

I Think I spend 98% of the time on task. Normally when I have lots on my mind, my mind starts to wonder, that sometimes happens a lot but I can control it.

In genius hour I've done a little bit because I haven't really thought of what else to other then learning about wifi. So I would give my self 50% for my genius hour effort.

I would give my self 80% on the assignments and 100% on being in charge of my self.

Over all mark I would give my self 85% in the class because I think I have tried my hardest to get things done.

14. Hamlet response

I relate to Hamlets story because I have also felt like everyone if against me but I have never thought about killing my self though. I have a step sister that lives with me that is two years younger then me but is appreciated by everyone. Anna is very responsible, she gets A's in every class, she has a job, she's very healthy and her mom lets her do whatever she wants. For her 14th birthday she got a really nice cell phone and for my 15th birthday I got a crappy cell phone. When I was 14 I was not allowed to stay home alone over night and I'm almost 17 now and Anna is 14 and is allowed to stay home alone over night.

I have been in a relationship for almost 2 years and I've lost all my friends. Not because I'm to attached to him, it's because my friends didn't really care about me to start and started to smoke and drink. I use to get phone calls at 2am from girls that use to be my friends and they would tell how I am worthless and no one likes me and my boyfriend and I should kill myself. My friends were never happy for me, they were always mad at me.
