Diary entry "Arrange marriage"


Dear diary,
                 I want to leave my country because of the traditions here, sometimes I think I am not from India, because I don't feel like one, I am not agree with the traditions. I am from Bombay and I am 19 years old, my parents wants to arrange my marriage, but the problem is that I don't love her.

Her name is Bamela, she is a nice person, but is not that kind of woman I would get married. She come from a very rich family, but she don't know to do anything, she is accustomed that other people do things for her and I can't give her the same life as she have now, she will have to do homework like cook, clean the house and what will happen if we have a baby? 

My father told me that it is necessary to get marry her, because it is a strategy for business (Bamela's father is client of my father), so I don't want to be part of the strategy, I want to control my own life,make my own decisions.184 In the future my plan is to leave India and go to America, for a better life, as I said I don't feel like an Indian

If I don't get married Bamela my father will disown me, because I don follow the traditions, even if I don't want to get married I will have to do it, my family is the only thing I have, and if I don't follow the traditions my family will pass to be excluded by all the families here in Bombay and I don't want that, so I will have to get marry Bamela, I like it or not.

News Report


England can be a dangerous country for irresponsible tourists.

By Tom Riddle, Tuesday 25 August 2015

LONDON- Nowadays England is turning very dangerous, specially in the south. There are bands specialised in robbing to tourists. Thefts increase when tourists came to England, this summer was very dangerous and have no doubt that in September is going to be worse, because of the rugby World Cup. These bands take advantage of the innocence of the tourists. They have many tricks to theft without realising you have been rob.

Robberies exist in all countries, specially in developed countries like England, France, USA, etc. In all of those countries you can find cultural diversity, people with different cultures. Most of the thieves are from people of other country. In this summer 75% of the robberies were committed by foreign people. One of the reasons of the extreme security in the airports is the robberies, the police are constantly watching foreign people to prevent robberies at the airport.

Nowadays, the police says to take care of all your belongings like wallets and cellphones to prevent robberies, because the rugby World Cup is coming and there are many  irresponsible tourists that can be the target of the thieves. In 2012 80% of the robberies were made to tourists, and the reason was for irresponsibility. Many tourists think that by the fact of being a developed country their things are going to be safe, but they are wrong, the robberies are a mess, that's because of the million of people concentrated in one city.

Cry Freedom 

1.- When the police took Mapetla Biko wanted to know about him, the risk that Donald refers to is that Biko travels into a white area at night, the answer of Biko was "This is my country", "I go where I like", woods admired Biko's attitude.

2.- Mapetla hanged himself. He was found hanged in prison. The inquest find that no one was guilty of Mapetla's death, but Ken think that Mapetla is unable to kill himself, as Ken said "He Wouldn't..."

3.- In chapter 11 Biko will go to Cape Town to do some speeches to some young men and I think that something bad will happen, maybe he will get arrest or he will die. I think that something bad will happen because she said to him "You shouldn't make that trip to Cape Town" "It's too dangerous".

At the top left corner is the head painted of red. At the top right corner are two heads with powder on their hair. To the left is one of the faces painted of purple. At the bottom are the arms of the women and at the bottom left corner is a hand painting the face of a women. At the bottom right corner is the hand of the other women painting a face of purple. This festival is a tradition in India. The indians celebrate this color festival and this festival color started to be celebrated in other countries. The participants of this festival are not only indians, many cultures celebrated too. I participated of a festival color more known as "The color run", It consists of running 5K throwing this powders. It's not the same, but the idea was take from india.

Speech

"there are several ways to defeat poverty and one of them is technology. People in the world disacknowledge how important is this tool in some countries".

Have you ever thought how could be your life without a cellphone? imagine how you can help people in Africa with a cellphone.

Africa is the poorest continent in the world. The people don't have money to buy food and water. Most of the countries have a lot of money but the people in those countries are poor. But they are solving this problem with technology, the cellphone.

Africa is food-scarce and the people are poor. There are ways to defeat poverty, technology. A lot of people disacknowledge how to use a cellphone or what a cellphone is.

Some countries in Africa are very rich but the natives die of hunger. The government of Nigeria has a lot of money because of the oil. they don't help the cities and most of the countries are developing. the countries don't let the people grew.

With a cellphone they can grow up, update, they are living in the past. With a cellphone they can learn, buy things like food, water, etc. And most important they can transfer money.

Now you know the importance of the cellphone in some countries in Africa. Lets use the technology to defeat the poverty in africa.

We can not live without a cellphone, its part of our lives. Life is better with technology.

cape town

In the center of the picture is a building. At the bottom right is a group of people and at the bottom left is an african child. This child is running and looking to the camera. At the bottom right in the group of people one of them look like a fireman or it could be a builther, because the buildings are in a poor condition. This looks like a poor district, you can see that in the conditions of the buildings, people and the trash in the street. The people of this picture are from africa, I dont say this because of the color of the skin or the conditions of the districts, I say this because of the caption " Nowadays coloured people in Cape flats feel discriminated by white people. In the past, this situation was a lot different", Cape Town is in southafrica. They arefrom Africa and I think they help to each other in everything. The special of that place is the union between the neighbors. I have never been to a place like that.
