The Kite Runner Review

Action, friendship, bulling and forgiveness are the themes that Khalid Hosseini talks about in his book called “The Kite Runner”.

This book is about the friendship and forgiveness of to friends of different cultures that are in conflict.  In this awesome book you can experience the life of Amir and Hassan, a rich boy and his servant, these two boys had a good friendship till Assef and his friends convince Amir to treat Hassan as a servant, because Pashtuns can treat a Hazara like a friend, so he started being cruel with his friend and it will make Amir change for all his life, but that is not all, the story have some graphic content when Assef bullies Hassan.

In conclusion this book brings together all the feelings of Amir since he started bulling Hassan and the thought about his dead mother, so when the best friend of his father says to him that he can steel be good, all de story changes trying to be good again. So for this book I will give five stars out of 10, because it could be more, having a grate story but a bad continuity, repeating the majority of the themes to much, so the book starts to become boring till the theme changes.

So I recommend to read this book if you want to know why and how are the cultural conflicts in Afghanistan happening, but if you want to read a book because it haves a very good story that is changing the themes all the time, I recommend to reed another.

Point 1: "Video games don't make kids violent"
Point 2:
 
Point 3: I have learnt taht the people think diferent about this topic, but the most part think that video games make kids violent.
Point 4: "More recent research has not found that children who play VVO (Violent Video Games) are more violent that other kids, nor harmed in any other identifiable fashion" Link.
Point 5: "Violent video games show kids how to express themselves physically in a violent way. It's already way easier for a child to push another child when they're angry than to express their emotions and resolve a conflict thought words" Link.
Point 6: I think that video games don't make kids violent, but old people attribute the violent acts of kids and teens to the video games, because they don't find another reason that can cause these.
Point 7:   * Old people shows violence to kids.
                * We live in a violent world.
                * Old people attribute violence to games, but they are violent.

Letter of Complaint

November 20

Dear Mr Peterson,

I’m writing to inform that the TV programs that you show, aimed at children, have a lot of violence and they don’t have an educational purpose.

Some days ago I saw that all the kids were watching your TV programs, but I have noticed that the series were based on violence, these caused violent actions of the kids when they tried to imitate the actions of the “heroes” of the show.

These errors that you have made are changing the children, especially my brother, who is acting like a real commando, so he is turning his personality into a commando. That brings us a problem, because he is starting to buy toy guns and shoot people with those things, so I’m scared of the damage that this can have in the future.

I am writing to ask if you can change the time of transmitting those programs, or if you can delete the show of the channel, to avoid the violence on children. If you don't make dis changes I will be forced to delete my subscription to your channel and also I will send a mail to the ESRB to complain of the violent acts that you can find in your show.

I will be waiting for your reply.

Yours sincerely,

C. Kohler

The Art of Tattoo

To paint your body or to have a tattoo can have many meanings, because you can have a tattoo that has a meaning for you or you culture or you can have a tattoo that is a requirement to enter in a crew, group or culture.

Tattoos are a type of art that you "print" in your body, you can have this art in you if you take the decision of having it for the rest of your life. If you take the decision of having a tattoo you will have to think if it has a meaning for you or not, because if you have a superficial tattoo you can get bored easily of it. Also some groups of people think that tattooing is an debauchery.

Also you have to deal with the discrimination of the people in the street. That group of people feel scared when a tattooed person is near, because they think that those people can act in a bad way.
