Literary Interpretation: Iraq War
http://mitchellsweet.blogspot.com/2007/10/iraq-war_30.html
Tuesday, October 30, 2007. Here is another youtube video that I found kind of amazing. It is a video of Dick Cheney in 1994 talking about it being a terrible idea to invade Iraq and that in his own words Cheney says that invading Baghdad would be "Quagmire". I found it funning that after saying this Cheney thought that it would be a good idea to invade Iraq eight years later. Cheney in 1994. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Dray's Thoughts: The falcon
http://draysthoughts.blogspot.com/2007/10/falcon.html
Tuesday, October 16, 2007. The story tells, to me of how people treat and respect the world. Meaning the guy who hunts with his car vs the man who hunts with his bird, the falcon. It show honor and respect for nature by hunting with the bird, showing how in touch. With nature he really. Is On the other hand, the one guy that hunts with his car. chases after the gazelle. With his car till the animal can run no more. This is a very disrespectful way to die and is a shame that someone or something.

Frankie's Blog: Persepolis links
http://frankievelazquez.blogspot.com/2007/11/persepolis-links.html
Tuesday, November 13, 2007. The books Persepolis 1&2 both deal with the Cultural Revolution that took place from 1980-1987. This link. Is to a page that summarizes it. It to a youtube video of a man who briefly describes the situation in Iran and how it has changed since the Cultural Revolution. It's a bit short but I think it gets the message across. I also found this very interesting video. Of Sadat and the Shah of Iran in an interview from many years ago with who appears to be the Imam of Egypt.

Dray's Thoughts: men in the sun
http://draysthoughts.blogspot.com/2007/10/men-in-sun.html
Sunday, October 14, 2007. Men in the sun. Over all, I believe the story of men in the sun can have two different meanings. Men in the sun as in the place that they are from, going to Palestine. Then also the meaning of men in the sun in the tank of the truck. My question is why are they going away from their homes to find jobs? Why cant they find a job were they live currently? About being basted alive in the tank of a water truck is just amazing to me. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Men in the sun.

Tuesday, November 27, 2007. After browsing around on Wikipedia and other websites, I found out quite a bit of information about Turkey (and read quite a bit that I already knew).
