Image analysis

What I can see in this image is a Man with long, curly and brown hair dressed with a blue/red coat and a white shirt looking through a window and also holding something like a compass of his era. He is in a place which looks elegant but a bit disorganized with something that looks like a carpet in front of the man and behind him there is a piece of furniture with a terrestrial globe on top of it, next to the piece of furniture there is a painting on top of n elegant chair.

The Light effects implemented in this image makes me think that the man is looking either at a sunrise or sunset, the light itself penetrating the window together with the man's posture suggest that he is thinking of important things such as the meaning of life or what he would like to eat in today's dinner.

The Kite Runner Graphic Novel Analysis



Perspective: Foreground to background

Panel 1:

I can see what looks like a boy from behind wearing a grey shirt, then in the middle of the image I can see two adults, one having tea and the other one is looking at the boy, both of them are sitting on a sofa in front of a table, then in the background of the image i can see a wall with a red carpet.
What I can infer from the image is that the boy is amir and he is looking and listening to some kind of strange conversation between rahim khan (the adult that is looking at amir with an impact expression) and his father ( the one drinking what looks like tea, his expression reflects that he is mad because of the conversation probably). Amir arrived unespected to the place which looks like a pashtun house, where the adults where having the conversation and this is why rahim khan is impressed, the conversation may be actually about amir

Panel 2:

In this image I can see Baba's face ( who has a pite in his left hand)  looking at amir and saying "amir what are you doing here?", amir  is next to the stairs looking at him, dressed with a yellow t-shirt, a grey shirt on it and blue jeans. at the back I can see an orange curtain next to a elegant door. The place is the same pashtum house that appears in the pannel 1, everything looks elegant, what I can infer from the image is that this time Amir' father Baba noticed amir's presence and he is also really impressed with that, thats why he asks what amir is doing there. I can see that amir has a sad expression on his face, and Baba's has an impressed expression on his.  The theme in this image is still the same as the one in the panel one, it is that Amir has been discovered listening to the conversation.

Panel 3:

What I can see in this panel is firstly, Amir's face with closed eyes and crying,and his arm extended, then in the middle of the image i can see the wall with elegant thing on it plus the stairs, then I can see rahim Khan stood up and saying "amir, wait", then I can see the sofa and Baba sitting on it, and at the background of the image I can see the wall with more elegant things, such as a red carpet. Amir has a really sad expression on his face he's even crying and going away from the living room, Rahim khans has an impressed expression on his face and he is trying to convice amir of not going away, while Baba is just sitting with a noraml expression on his face, You cant even see his eyes.

Panel 4: 

In this pannel I can firstly see that now we are outside and I can also see a man from behind wearing a yellow shirt and orange pants  holding a broom, then a can see a semi.bald boy from behind holding a broom, wearing  a red shirt, blue pants and sandals plus another green shirt on the red one, then I can see some grass and the entrance of the house, next to it I can see Amir. and at the background I can see the rest of the house plus more grass and plants. I can infer from this image that amir is going out of his house because of what he heard, and that the servants, Hassan (his friend) and Hassan's dad noticed him getting away, Amir has a sad face.

Panel 5: 

In this image I can see the same boy semi-bald from the last pannel dressed with same clothes and holding a broom, behind him i can see the same man with the yellow shirt holding with his right hand his son., and at the background what i can see is a part of the house that is behind these 2 persons. What I can infer in this image is that I Hassan and his dad are both looking at Amir, and the expression reflect that the dad is not very interested in the situation that is happening to Amir but hassan really is and I can see that on his face, I can also said that Hasan wants to go and talk to amir but his dad is holding him.

Panel 6: 

What I can firstly see in this image a road that goes all the way to the end of the house and some grass then I can see A man from behind wearing brown shoes, blue pants and lightbrown shirt and coat I can also see that he is putting his hand on a boy's shoulder and saying " amir, wait, you see your father didnt mean", the boy is wearing a grey coat and blue pants and he is saying: "I know it is because of my mother" then at the background i can see the end of the house"s place, plants and the sky. I can infer from the texts and the image that Rahim Khans is trying to catch Amir to talk with him about what happened inside the house so they can solve the problem, amir seems to believe that it is a problem that has to be with his mother.

Panel 7: 

What I can firstly  see in this image is a boy's head with black hair from behind and in front of this boy there is a man dressed with brown clothes and with a mostache looking at the boy's face and saying: " huh? yourmother? what does it have to do with your mother amir jan?". What I can infer from this image is that the man is rahim khan and the boy is Amir Jan, and because Amir said something about his mother in the pannel N6 now rahim Khan, with a courious expression is looking at him and asking why did he said that.

Essay SuperMegaCorrected Edition

Global Warming is the most significant environmental problem facing us today. 
In this essay I'm going to personally tackle the topic from an in-favor perspective, I think that the global warming is absolutely an environmental issue to take care about right now, it is a priority.  However in this essay I'm going to also expose counter arguments to the topic but always expressing my personal opinion. 
As I already established, the global warming is the most important environmental issue at the moment in the earth. According to Bradnee Chambers, an important senior researcher in the UN university, global warming is having a major impact on biodiversity and in turn, biodiversity loss, this is an important part of a chain reaction damage to the environment, according to Bradnee this chain reaction is: Firstly the global warming does damage to the biodiversity, and causes land degradation, this releases more carbon and greenhouse gasses back into the atmosphere and slowly kills forests, which ends up in more biodiversity loss. So it is a chain reaction and cycle, which destroys the earth every time it repeats, and it is always repeating this is why it has to be considered as the most important environmental issue.
Furthermore, Bradnee Chambers also includes information about the last UN research about global warming. The investigation that the UN university did, warns that science does not have good understanding about the effects of the global warming, this is a really important reason of why global warming is the most important environmental problem. The research identified that the potential effects of global warming could end in an ecosystem collapse, according to Bradnee, this will intensify the impacts and vilnerability on human beings.
On the other hand, Philip Stott, an emeritus professor in the university of London,defends a point of view which says that the global warming is not a crisis, according to Philip, the earth has been always experimenting climate changes, and it is nothing new to our era, in the 1970's the human "fear" was the "earth Cooling", Magazines and newspapers were talking about apocalyptic scenarios, for example, the "Christian science Monitor" had this title: "Warning: Earth's climate is changing faster than even experts expect", while the NY times said: "a major cooling of the climate is widely considered inevitable", and it didn't end in an apocalypse. Having said that, the real crises according to Philip are: Food Crisis, Mortal diseases without cure, etc. finally he says: " What is wrong with us, that we downplay the human misery before our eyes and we focus on events that will probably not happen? we now that the greatest cause of the environmental degradation, is poverty; on this we can and must act". 
All things considered, I really think that the global warming is the most important environmental issue, taking the facts, like the chain reaction cycle, by Bradnee Chambers, the global warming and all it's causes are progressively destroying the world where we all live.

Annotated Bibliography


Bradnee chambers article about why global warming is an important environmental issue 

Retrieved from: http://archive.ias.unu.edu/sub_page.aspx?catID=35&ddlID=583

Bradnee Chambers is an important senior researcher at the UN university, Bradnee defends the point of view which says that global warming is the most important environmental issue that the humankind has to take care about. Bradnee defends his opinion with different arguments like the one that says that the Global warming is having a major impact on biodiversity, reducing it. I think this argument is really important when writing an essay about this, from a pro perspectivce with the thesis.




Philip Stott's opinion in the article "Global Warming is not a crisis" (March 9th, 2007)

Retrieved From: http://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=2938762

Philip Stotts writes his perspective about the global warming saying that it is not a problem, he has arguments like the ones that say that it is an All-time issue, and that in all the history of the humankind the climate has suffered changes like the one we are facing today with the "global warming". I personally think that this article and it's thesis based on history is really useful when defending that the global warming is not an important environmental issue.

First person scene

The day was very sunny, something like 70 degrees, I was eating a sandwich  in a restaurant next to the police station, suddenly this guy appeared, he entered the restaurant and started talking to the girl that sold the things in the restaurant. Everything was pretty normal I was there just eating my sandwich and having a great dinner until I heard the girl screaming, I turned my eyes to see what was happening there and I saw that guy that I told you about aiming a revolver to the girl. I could interpretate that he was asking for money because of the way he was moving his hands. The first thing I thought when I saw this, was that he had to be really stupid because the restaurant was next to the police station and a lot of police officers had dinner there everyday and today, 2 officers were eating pretty close to the scene, they reacted really quickly and reduced the man; I wasnt able to listen to all the conversation they had but I think there wasnt anything interesting to listen, the important part was that the man wasn't able to steal anything and didn't damage anyone, anyway, I remember that I saw the police officers laughing when they were carrying 
the man to the police station, I think they laugh because the man chose THAT restaurant... Next to the police station. 

After they entered the police station, everything in the restaurant was normal again, I finished my sandwich that seemed infinite at that time and went to my house, was an interesting episode to see.

Technology Story

Daniel and the internet connection.

It was a normal sunny but kind of windy day in Daniel's life, a normal day in his school, until his english teacher told the class that they had to write a 250-word article for tomorrow and, of course, they had to upload it to their blogs. When Daniel arrived to his house, he told his mother that he had to do this really large homework for tomorrow, his mother told him that the internet and/or the Pc weren't working, Daniel spent all the evening trying to connect, the only pc that they had in the house, to the internet but he couldn't. Daniel had to go to the school the other day without having the homework done, he tried to explain the problem that he had with the internet, but obviously his english teacher didn't believe him, he had a negative observation due to his "irresponsibility"and a 2.0 in the english subject (The one he hated the most)

Daniel spent weeks thinking of why the internet didn't work that specific day and why his teacher didn't trust him, he finally concluded that if he was a teacher and a student tells him that same story, he would have not believed it.

Epetition

A need of better juice in the casino

Responsable Department: Food Department 

I think that the problem with the juice in the casino is a real issue because it is absolutely impossible to drink, me and many other people think this, I also think that the juice that the casino gives to the students and teachers is super unhealthy, it should be replaced with a natural juice that gives us real vitamins it would be better, healthier and natural. Another option would be to just give water to everyone( obviously a good water not running water) I am sure it would be healthier and better too.

Catcher in the Rye Chapter 4 and 5 / Anssssswwweeerrrssss

1) Holden and Stradlater are not friends but they dont hate one another, its like... they have a normal relationship, sometimes Holden thinks good things about Stradlater and they talk in a good way but sometimes Holden seems to think that Stradlater is a bastard and a sonuvab!tch.

2) I Think that Holden likes her because he was really interested in her and in the date that she had with Stradlater, I think this because when Stradlater talked about the date with Jane Gallagher, Holden was really surprised due to this.

3) The reason he didnt go downstairs is that he wasnt in the "mood". I think it was the real reason, because maybe he wasnt feeling ready to see again an old "friend".

4) It serves steak because a lot of parents go to Pencey on sunday, and they would probably ask their boys what did they have for dinner last night.

5) It shows that holden can be friendly and that he seems to like going out with friends, it also shows that maybe he doesnt hate Ackley that much.

6) He didnt throw the snowball to the can because it looked so nice and white and he didnt throw it to the hydrant because it looked so nice and white too.

7) Actually it didnt surprise me because I kind of knew he would do it, I think he does it because he didnt have anything else to do.

8) I guess it is because he already knew what he would write in the composition, so he didnt want to write about Houses or rooms.

9) Allie was intelligent and he didnt get mad easily, while Holden seems to get mad easily and not to be very intelligent apart from the english subject.

10) 1.- "He was two years younger than I was, but he was about fifty times as intelligent"

      2.- When he broke all the windows in the garage the night after Allie's death, it shows that he really liked            Allie as a person and as a brother.
