Of Mice And Men

Of Mice And Men

George and Lennie are looking  for work to make their dream come true, so they get on a ranch for work where they meet Curley, the trouble maker.

In California, 1935, two people called George and Lennie came to a ranch to get their dream come true. Their dream was to get a little farm where they could live for them self. When they got to the ranch the son`s boss, that owned the ranch came, a real trouble maker. Curley was his name, he was one of those guys that just wanted to make trouble to people.

Curley has short curly hair, brown eyes and he`s a tiny young man. When they first met Curley you get a feeling that he are roud, and that you dont want to get into a fight with him. He was also married, people on the ranch said behind his back that she is a tart. That can symbolize with the American dream that many of the people who came  to America sold them self they did everything to try to survive. One example for that Curley is a real trouble maker can be.

When George and Lennie had just arrived at the ranch, and George said to Lennie that he should talk and not Lennie. So Curley don`t like people ho talk for other, or it could be that he was scared for people that are bigger than himself.

I think that the message of this book can be that you can`t always get your dream to come true, but you have to try. Like Lennie and George tryed byt it didn`t work out.


I just jused the book to get this information. Of mice and men
This story was written by John Steinbeck and was published in 1937

I Stasi tiden

                                                                       

                                                                                                                                      

Her en dag fikk vi en oppgave om:Du lever i Øst-Tyskland under den kalde krigen. Du har en datter som skal begynne på universitetet. Hun har gode karakterer og alt ligger til rette for at hun skal komme inn på Universitetet i Berlin. Så sier imidlertid Stasi sier at du må bli informant for dem ellers vil ikke din datter få plassen på universitetet. Hvilket valg tar du?

Bakgrunns fakta:                                                                                                               
Selve Stasi organisasjonen ble opprettet allerede i 1950, hvor de da jobbet undercover for Stasi. Deres oppdrag var å finne så mange mulige "forbrytere". I hvert hjørne kunne det være Stasi agenter som prøvde å finne ut noe om deg. Og over 12% av befolkningen tystet på en annen person.
Hvis Stasi fikk vite at du gjorde noe ulovlig bar det rett til Stasi-fengselet. 
Stasi-fengselet hadde først en kapasitet på 200-500 personer, men det ble for lite etter en stund så de bygget om på hele fengselet.
Vaktene i fengselet brukte først fysisk tortur mot fangene, men de så at det var mest effektivt med psykisk tortur for fangene hadde da ikke noen bevis på at de hadde blitt skadet.






Valgmulighetene man da hadde i denne oppgaven var da å enten bli informant eller ikke.
De fleste på denne tiden som fikk disse valgene tok ofte muligheten å ble en informant for Stasi, det ville da innebære å spionere på alt og alle. Han kunne få deg til å spionere på familien din eller en flere mil unna.
Valget var da å spionere, datteren min ville da ha fått en god utdannelse, men kunne jeg noen gang se meg i speilet når jeg da viste at jeg kunne ha fått noen drept. Jeg kunne jo bare ha gitt han meningsløs informasjon, men det var da en risiko for at han kunne gjennomskue meg å finne ut at jeg bare ga han den informasjonen som jeg synes var grei å gi. 


Det andre valget er jo da å droppe å bli informant, men det går ut over min datter å hun har da kanskje best mulighet til å bli en gateselger det kan også gå ut over familien min etter meg.
Hvis jeg også har uflaks kan Stasi sende en annen person til å spionere på meg, det kan da hende at jeg blir sendt til fengselet hvor jeg blir torturert på de verste måter, det vil da si at jeg har veldig liten sjanse til å komme meg ut igjen også.


Det er ikke noe spørsmål om hva jeg personlig hadde valget. Det hadde vært å bli en spion og hvorfor jo fordi jeg ikke ville latt det gå utover min datter å familien min fremover i tid. Hvor jeg også kunne slippe tortur og masse annet styr.
Det skal ikke gå utover min familie at jeg ikke blir informant.


Mitt svar ble konsekvensetikk, det at jeg må ta ansvar for mine handlinger selv om jeg ikke alltid vil det. Jeg må ta ansvar for at ikke det skal skje noe med familien min lengre utover hvis jeg ikke hadde blitt en spion.


Kildene jeg brukte er her Jeg tenker at denne nettsiden har veldig bra med informasjon og den er også lagt ut på et skoleforum.

 Til minne om alle som ble drept og torturert i Stasi-fengselet 

  

The Korean War

The Korean war was a armed conflict and it last in almost 3 years.
The Korean War was between North Korea and South Korea. North Korea was occupied by the Soviet Union and South Korea was occupied by USA.  In June 1950 the war started with the North Korean went in to South Korea. With forces supported by 180 planes, 135 000 soldiers and 243 tanks. Against a much smaller and worse army in South Korea. With only 65 000 soldiers with not so good armor as North Korea had. They didn’t had any tanks or air support either. North Korea came long into South Korea. Now the South Korea got more help from USA and the pushed North Korea all the way up to the capital in North Korea, but then the Chinese started to help North Korea. So now it was North Korea with the Soviet Union and China on their side vs. South Korea with USA on their side. And with China on the team North Korea started to push South Korea out of their country. In 1951 the North Korean troops made their way in to South again.
Fn wanted to stop this war and tried to send soldiers to the war. They got a warning to not enter the kinesis land, it could affect the military, and it was tough winters up in the mountains.
But the leader rejected this and went to the mountains, but fn heard about this and command that they had to go to Japan and stay there.
In November 1950 they first troops of the kinesis went in to the war and more troops came for every day. But when the winter came it came for full and the American soldiers wasn’t prepared for a so cold winter. The kinesis too advantage of this and killed as many American as they could.
But because they went so fast in to the front they lost many soldiers too.
They got a finnale selusion with help from a

Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission.

Lost
Man can’t now how many who died but it’s around 2-3 millions and over 1,5 million of them was civilians and 800 000 soldiers were killed.

The war is not finished because it just has been a ceasefire and not real peace
