How are your two events connected?
My two events are connected by having the two articles being of course discussed about the same topic, and also and mainly about having Iraq having major problems. In this very article I have chosen, the news was all about president George W. Bush having a discussion and meeting with the Shiite leader of Iraq. The two leaders had a conversation for up to an hour. The purpose and main point of the two leaders colliding and meeting each other was to have a discussion on the main problems that Iraq is currently facing, president George W. Bush stated that Iraq’s solutions for its problems are not progressing a lot, which means that the percentage of safety in Iraq for the citizens that live there has not been able to grow in progress. President George W. Bush then said that Iraq in the future will be supported by the United States and by the prime minister of Iraq as well.
What did you find interesting about this topic?
What I found interesting about this topic is that it questioned me a lot about the safety of the citizens of Iraq. This topic questioned me by having ask myself: “is war in Iraq going to be continuing on forever?” So I thought if war is going to be carrying on forever in that particular area, is it going to be in the future, a main war zone for war? Are the citizens of Iraq always going to live their lives in horror? All I can say is that this was a very tough topic to think about, and I loved it, because by having tough topics in your hand and brain, you will be able to think really hard on it and think of all the possibilities that can happen or all the factors that are able to occure and effect lives and possibly the world, you never know, so I really enjoyed having to think about this very topic.
What did you like about the initial blog posting?
What I liked about the intial blog posting, which was Mei Huii’s was that it was very descriptive in many ways. I have observed that she has put a very small amount of information in there, yet she has brought it up well by using an intense amount of glorious vocabulary. I loved the way she has used different ways of puting each word in every sentence, for it really brought up the true character of Mei Huii and of course her personality. Though there were a bit and some mistakes that were a bit obvious, which some were: the picture did not seem to have been in the right position due to the text position, the links were not at all that linked, and at the bottom there was no need to type “picture” if your picture is at the top of the posting. Yet the posting, work, and article were all great, I really enjoy having to hear your vocabulary usage! Keep up the great work, and a fine job you have done for the previous one!
