Needs

For me,  i mostly listen to music all the time, that is the main reason why i got headphones. Music for me is what lights up my day. I listen to all type of music, dance, techno, dubstep, spanish music, so I would put this under fun, power, freedom. Listening to music makes me happy and takes my mind from everything that goes on. It also relaxes me. Sending messages to my friends, I always do this, however during school i mostly send messages to my sister, thats what also lights up my day. These things would be more in belonging part, since now a day everyone is texting, so i guess i do text for feeling that I belonging. Listening in school is also another factor, since i want a good education, and get a good job. This part would be under power.  I also like playing games on my ipad, and also playing on my Xbox, not for a very long time, this also falls in the fun part. Also something that i really don't care in a way, and i do in another way is the type of clothing I wear, so this part would go under power, in which I need to have a type of clothing and no other. Also my dog is a huge part of my life, he is always there, I sometimes look crazy talking to him, I take him out for walks, my dog is another thing that makes my day. I would put this under fun again, because I enjoy going out and breathing fresh air. For me the type of clothing that I wear is for the freedom to stand out, not to belong in a group. For me skipping is a freedom of choice, not lack of power, its just a choice, if you want to be in class, or if you just don't care. The skipping class is a negative way to fulfill my needs. Im not sure my behavior that others disapprove of, how I'm getting my needs out of that.

Personal Stories

So when i was starting grade 8, i use to believe everything that everyone would tell me. When i heard something about someone i didn't know, and yet i still listened to them and started to dislike that person. I haven't heard anything said about me. However writing about what i thought, helped me understand more about Hotel Rwanda, when they where told things about the other people and they believe them.

Human Behavior To Hotel Rwanda.

Hotel Rwanda, like Sullivan Heights, has some connections, for example the different types of groups that exists in the school, with dance and and theater for one. There is always something that are different, like they can be friends, however they feel different with the other people, like if you trust them better if they share the same interest as you. Same with Rwanda and the two different types of people, if they where with the same kind then they acted fine, however if they where with the other kind, then they acted different then with the other kind. So again the same with Sullivan, there are different type of groups.

Haiku About Rwanda Genocide

Kill All The Tutsis.
How Sad I Felt, They're all Dead.
I Am A Monster.

This haiku represent how the tutsis where slaughter, and how it was long time ago, and yet I felt horrible inside, the feeling with watching the movie and not being able to do or say anything,  even though it was a movie, based on real life. Even though all of the Tutsis didn't die, but some of them where killed.

Poem for Hotel Rwanda

The poem I found was this one:

My Dream
By Margaret Parkins
Spokane Valley High School, Washington

Three tears I cry: one for my family,
one for my pride,
one for my hunger.

How can I have faith
when life seems to fall apart?

When uniforms come and take them away,
"Who are they taking," I ask myself --
"My friends!"

It is hard to recall those days
when you were judged by your ways,
when cries came from all ways you look.

A prayer is my hope,
my mother's words
which I so much love to hear again.

And then I woke up,
it was all a bad dream.

This poem is great, because she showed what the family members in Rwanda was feeling, and how their "life seems to fall apart" and that they lost their family, and horrible things happen. For her it was a dream for them in Rwanda was real.
