Crimea was annexed in early 2014 after a revolution in Ukraine which brought pro-western government to power and removed a pro- Russia president. A hundred nations at the UN general assembly passed a resolution in which was decided by Russian that Crimea would be annexed. Unfortunately that territory (Crimea) then held a referendum largely seen as illegitimate when a large amount of citizens voted to join russia. Many countries also joined Russia in voting against it. There are about 15% crimean tatars who strongly apposed the takeover. Because of this situation, over 300 thousand taters have fled Crimea since 2014. Furthermore, there are pro-Russia separatists who have been fighting Ukrainian along the Black Sea since 2014, to this day. ]]> 2024-02-21 14:48:39 UTC https://padlet.com/alanamrosas/v1wn00n8ciksl9m9/wish/2891044075 alanamrosas https://padlet.com/alanamrosas/v1wn00n8ciksl9m9/wish/2891080153 The relationship between the characters drive the plot by creating tension, alliance and even conflicts. The show provides these friendships/relationships to illustrate the exploration of trust issues, betrayal, the significance of each characters decisions and choice of survival. These key components amplifies the emotion of the audience and “drives the plot forward”. These relationship in squid games also contribute to the emotional depth of the story by causing the audience to become more attached to a character and/or evoke emotions towards the friendships/relationships they are involved. This makes the storyline more compelling and draws the audience to continue watching. In this case, the squid games create alliances such as friends, lovers and enemies which drive the games that the characters are involved in and not all characters are capable of getting through, which is devastating or relieving for the audience.]]> 2024-02-21 15:14:46 UTC https://padlet.com/alanamrosas/v1wn00n8ciksl9m9/wish/2891080153 alanamrosas https://padlet.com/alanamrosas/v1wn00n8ciksl9m9/wish/2891081841  American Idiot By Green Day is a punk rock based song in which judges Society, Politics, and media of America.

The jewish, Britain and Palestinian’s were all concerned about gaining one another’s lands, if they could get along and trying to make amends with one another for shared lands. For a while everything was working out between Palestine and Israel. But by controlling both the land and labor Israel thought they establish a more secure community within Palestine. Instead, these practices started tensions between the jews and Palestinian’s. After WW1, the tensions continued and Britain did not want to be apart of the ticking time bomb between the two states. Therefore Britain handed the problem to the United Nations, in which they came up with The partition Plan called for two states roughly equal in size. But funny enough the plan didn’t work and that’s when Arab-Israeli war broke out, with Israel on one side and Palestinian’s on the other.  The Israeli Won and signed to for more land under the UN. This led to Hundreds of thousands Palestinian’s fleeing their homes and became refugees. Israel decided to take it upon themselves and start the six day war, where they took the land from the west bank, sinai peninsula, the Gaza strip and the Golan heights. There were many movements and violent protest by the Palestinian’s because they wanted their land back.

I am sorry that with better heed and judgment
I had not quoted him: I fear'd he did but trifle,
And meant to wreck thee; but, beshrew my jealousy!
By heaven, it is as proper to our age
To cast beyond ourselves in our opinions
As it is common for the younger sort
To lack discretion. “
Hamlet (2.1)

In this quote from hamlet, Polonius tells Ophelia that he regrets not taking Hamlet more seriously, because polonius initially thought Hamlet was just playing with her feelings. He then  realized that his own jealousy impacted his judgment. Polonius also realizes that is it normal for people to overthink, allowing their judgment to become blind and being less discrete.  ]]> 2024-05-14 22:20:42 UTC https://padlet.com/alanamrosas/v1wn00n8ciksl9m9/wish/2993090840 alanamrosas https://padlet.com/alanamrosas/v1wn00n8ciksl9m9/wish/2994227929 It was midsummer when my brother decide to take a trip to Cancun with his girlfriend Danielle.

As they watched themselves venturing further and further away from the land they tried to relax knowing they are in good hands. A bearded man who was the guide of the tourist boat gave everyone a pill and some water, claiming it will keep them from becoming sick from being over seas for a long period of time. My brother did not take the pill because he did not trust it. Shortly after, he was  looking at the infinite ocean that is upon him, no land to be found just a spec in the distance. My brother tells Danielle he does not feel right and proceeds to  collapses and faints. Danielle falls with him and cries for help. It takes the guide an hour to get back to the land but by then my brother is unconscious in an ER truck. They do everything they can to wake him up as Danielle weeps by his hospital side bed.
