Assigment 2

·         The pictures of the fish (spring salmon or Chinook salmon, both the same type of salmon) represent what type of life they had fishing for the salmon to make a living. The pictures shows how something can be so living one day but then be dead the next. Just like in Carl Heins case, he was living and fishing one moment and the next be swept of his boat to his death

·         The Japanese flag shows how the Japanese’s-Americans had to struggle during and after war time. They were put through the pain of being uprooted from where they lived to be sent to an internment camp in the middle of nowhere away from other citizens so that they didn’t pose any threat. The flag also represents the pain that Ishmael had when he had to fight against the Japanese at the Battle of Okinawa.

·         The gill netter (boat) shows how Carl, Kabuo and many others made their living throughout the years. Carl was put through the pain of being swept away and dying. Kabuo was not allowed to do what he loved because he was accused of murdering Mr. Heine. The pain Kabuo had and his family must have suffered due to the fact that he wasn’t able to provide for his family during the trial.

·         The quote on the left shows how they didn’t really want to be Japanese in America, because of the hate the people had after Pearl Harbor. They suffered pain, mostly mentally because of societies views on how a Japanese could be with an American.

·         The quote on the right explains that the whole island would suffer because of Mr. Heins death. The whole island loved him for what he did, he was a great and loved gillnetter.

I couldnt figure out how to add the photos straight into the mind map

Journal week 2

Journal 2
Our group had a better discustion this week, as we read from chapter 5-8.
We discused how its a bit difficult to follow the present to past back to present. Its not always clear that they are going back and forth. We discussed on how they came to San Piedro.
We discussed how that the court case could be a source of conflict between the Japanese-Americans and the Americans, because they start talking on how when the Japanese-Americans are forced to leave that Mrs. Heine sells theyre land and that they didnt like that very much.
We discussed how when Ishmael and Hatsue kiss at 1st its was awkward and then it was serious, we were disscussing how it could potentialy have so much controversy, just over a little thing like a kiss

Journal week 1

Week 1
Our group, did not have very much of a discustion, as their wasn't much that was happening in Snow Falling On Cedars
We read to about chapter 4-6 given the speed of the reader.
During these chapters, the narrator was building the characters identity.
We didn't find much of anything that was a link to violence, conflict, darkness and destruction. However we found a little connection to ''Pain''.
The connection to pain, we discused would be the emotional pain that the death of Carl Heine put on his family, through the court battle and when they found out he had passed. We discused pain may have been a factor when Carl Heine was ''killed''.

Charcter Analysis

Character Analysis

Macbeth is the type of person who is loyal and brave because, he obeys his orders and is recognized as a brave soldier. Macbeth is very loyal to King Duncan and is praised for his bravery. For being loyal and brave Macbeth is recognized and given the title Thane of Cawdor.

Act I, Scene II, 18

Soldier

 ‘’For brave Macbeth—well he deserves that name’’

Macbeth is easily manipulated by Lady Macbeth. Now with the title Thane of Cawdor, Macbeth has more power. Lady Macbeth tries to manipulate Macbeth by giving him ideas of killing the king.

Act I, Scene VII, 52-64

Now Macbeth is on his way to becoming a murderer. He has been manipulated by Lady Macbeth, and now sees that he must kill Duncan.

Act I, Scene VII, 69

                                Macbeth

 “If we should fail’’

Macbeth now has no remorse and is power hungry and knows that he must kill Duncan to obtain all power. With power he will become the almighty.

Act I, Scene VII, 79-83

Macbeth

‘’ I am settled, and bend up

Each corporal agent to this terrible feat.

Away, and mock the time with fairest show.

False face must hide what the false heart doth know.’’

Macbeth now has a guilty conscience and is causing him to see ghosts of his murdered friend.

Act III, Scene IV, 135-141

                                Macbeth

‘’Can such thing be,

And overcome us like a summer’s cloud

Without our special wonder? You make me strange

Even to the disposition that I owe

When now I think you can behold such sights

And keep the natural ruby of your cheeks

When mine is blanch’d with fear’’

Reflections

Oral Presentation Reflection – Macbeth                         

Macbeth connects to ‘’What is loyalty’’ and ‘’How does power corrupt’’.

Macbeth is loyal to King Duncan. Macbeth is praised for his bravery, and his loyalty to the King is redeemed when Macbeth is granted the title of Thane of Cawdor.

Act I, Scene ii, 19

Soldier ‘’For brave Macbeth—well he deserves that name’’

      Power corrupted Macbeth during the beginning of the story. The three witches say ‘’all hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter.’’ (1.3.53). Now Macbeth does not believe the witches that he will become king, until the first part of the prophecy “All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Cawdor’’ (1.3.53). After that point he begins to think that if he had the title of King, the power that he and Lady Macbeth could have would be outstanding. He and his wife plot to kill King Duncan and make it look like the guards killed him. Macbeth goes from loyal soldier to thinking of killing the king.

1.     While working with Stephen, I learned that it can be difficult to work around our schedules, we have good ideas as a pair, and we can work efficiently and professionally. Stephen and I have two different schedules, so it was a little difficult to work around them; as he plays hockey and I am usually going between Richmond and Aldergrove a few times a week. As a pair Stephen and I wrote the script and came up with the idea to make our presentation out of Lego. When we worked it was efficient because of our schedules. We work hard and diligent, without goofing off or doing anything that was distracting or useless to our presentation.

2.     Overall I would say that I have learned that Shakespearian English is difficult and hard to understand. Stephen and I work well as a pair. I need to start working harder and putting more time into my studies. Shakespearian English is difficult because we don’t tend to use that English very much in today society. Stephen and I work well as a pair, because we are committed to complete our projects in a timely manner. I need to put more time into my studies because I am not happy with the way my grades are going, I know I can do better, so I will be striving towards greater success.

3.     I noticed that I need to work more on my studies. Not just in English, but in all my classes. With what I noticed, I will be ‘’stepping my game up’’ and trying harder to complete task on time to my full capacity, because I know that I can strive higher if I try.

4.     I am proud of that our project was not a last minute thing, like how most groups finish their projects the day before it’s due. Stephen and I worked hard on our project during the time we had. It’s not every day that you are able to work in a pair with someone that you don’t know that well and complete the task before it is actually due. It’s hard enough to find people that want the project done and completed a few days before it’s due.

5.     I would have to say that the pie would be divided about 65% - 35%. Stephen ending up with the higher percentage because, we used his house to do almost everything. We used Stephen’s cameras, Lego, and computer for editing. We used my house just to write the script. Stephen even took the time to call me late at night to tell me that we had to do more on our oral presentation for our project. Stephen taking the more difficult one, as I got the easier one, because I was not home to do it. 

Lyrics about Identity

People Are Crazy

This old man and me, were at the bar and we
Were having us some beers and swappin' I dont cares
Talking politics, blonde and redhead chicks
Old dogs and new tricks, and habits we aint kicked

We talked about Gods grace, and all the hell we raised
Then I heard the ol' man say
God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy

He said I fought two wars, been married and divorced
What brings you to Ohio, he said damned if I know
We talked an hour or two, bout every girl we knew
What all we put them through, like two old boys will do

We pondered life and death, he lit a cigarette
Said these damn things will kill me yet
But God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy

Last call is two am, I said goodbye to him
I never talked to him again

Then one sunny day, I saw the old mans face
Front page obituary, he was a millionare
He left his fortune to, some guy he barely knew
His kids were mad as hell, but me, Im doing well
And I dropped by today, to just say thanks and pray
And I left a six-pack right there on his grave
And i said, God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy

God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy
God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy

This song shows Identity buy saying that people are crazy. People are crazy and will always be, theres nothing we can do to stop people from being crazy. Its just the way we are as human beings, we all have our crazy moments
