Talimi Haq School is a school in India. The teachers at the School of Haq corresponded with one of the teachers that blogs on learnerblogs and created together they created a website. Although their website disobeys the blogging laws the Mr. Wasserman established, it is still a satifactory website. When I was reading through their blogs, I noticed all of the grammatical errors that the students made. The sentence structure is often incorrect and they sometimes use the wrong pronouns or other words within a sentence.

However, I noticed that many of the pictures that are attached to the posts have erdu writing in them, and the lengths of the paragraphs in erdu look like they correspond with the lengths of the passages in english. So, maybe the students don’t know how to speak english, and their teachers just translate the erdu to english for the website. Considering that the students are not educated very well, it makes sense that they don’t know how to write or speak, at that, english.

I decided to use an english to urdu translator to compare the urdu written on some the pictures to the english paragraph when I translated it. However, it is very difficult to tell the similarities between the characters of the pictures and of the websites translation images.

(Mr. Wasserman) I cropped and sent an image I got off of the website to your email address, because I don’t know how to attach it to my blog.  Here is the exact URL of the translation you should compare the picture to.

I propose a different option. I think that the United States should remove all troops, but before doing so the U.S. should consult and discuss the issue with the U.N.. I decided to create this option, because I cannot support the other three options. The United States should not simply remove all troops, because it will result in complete chaos in Iraq and all the other nations around the world will complain in some way or another about how the U.S. made a poor decision. The U.S. shold also refrain from increasing the troops in Iraq because it will make the Iraqies even more reliable on the troops for any type of protection or rule. Increasing may cause some Iraqies to get angry which could trigger outbreaks, and outbreaks may result in more deaths of U.S. soldiers. Furthermore, if there are more soldiers at risk there is a better chance that the soldiers will survive, but there are also more soldiers that can die. I will not forget to mention that if the United States partitions Iraq into three states, there is a chance that border issues will become problematic and the killings will not end as a result of partitioning.
Ultimately, if the United States consults and discusses the situation with the U.N. the reaction to pulling out of Iraq would not be quite as extreme. It is important that the United States does not lose the respect of the other nations in the world.

I looked on CNN.com for links to Iraq and the CNN website gave me a link to the U.N.’s webpage for Iraq. It is more of a website, because it has its own links and it is organized. I was surprised to find the lead article to be about Iraq leading into civil war.

The Iraqi people and their leaders have arrived at an important crossroads: if they are able to build firm foundations for the common interest of all Iraqis, the promise of peace and prosperity will be within reach. However, if current patterns of discord and violence prevail for much longer, there is a grave danger of a breakdown of the Iraqi State, and potentially of civil war.

I guess our ideas are of no use anymore. What has begun will persue, and Iraq is likely to go into civil war. It is too bad Iraq may result in this, because there are going to be millions of fingers pointing as us(Americans).

I think that this book WAS worth reading. It is an interesting perspective of the Puritans. It would be better if I read, maybe, one or two of the other selections for Puritans, because that way I could compare the books.
I, actually, cannot think of any lasting understandings or knowledge that “The Crucible” left me with. I do, however, want to find out what kind of person Arthur Miller (the author) is and where he lived in the 1950’s. Some of these factors influence how and what an author writes. For instance, if he grew up in a highly religious area, then he might, possibly, write from a more religious perspective than another perspective.
I thought about rereading act 4 also, because it was almost as confusing as act 3 and I was tired when I read it. However, Mr. Wasserman told me that it IS confusing. All of acts 3 and 4 take place in a courtroom, and both acts are just large, confusing conversations that include all of the characters. If acts 3 and 4 were acted out on stage, the producer could just have actors create a large din and every once and a while a person would clearly shout a line from the play. Furthermore, act 4 gets more confusing when everyone imagines there is a bird in the corner of the room and the girls in the scene act weird and speak in unison. If I were to grade this play by how much it filled my expectation of a play about the salem witch trials, I would give it a B.

After reading act three I did not read what I expected. Act three basically took place within a court in Salem, Massachusetts. The court scene was very confusing to me at the time I read it. Maybe I’ll read it again sometime so that I may understand what was going on. The courtroom scene seemed to be very unorganized compared to today’s courtrooms. Everyone, including the people uninvolved in the case, spoke. People were making comments the whole time. If anyone were to do what they did there in a courtroom today they would be thrown out of the courtroom for being a disturbance.
