Mon, 07 Dec 2020 16:32:04 -0500 I believe that the main idea of this section is that even when Muhammad died his family still kept trying to evolve/continue his legacy. https://nowcomment.com/documents/244784?scroll_to=2231473 https://nowcomment.com/documents/244784?scroll_to=2231473 Mon, 07 Dec 2020 16:28:40 -0500 The main idea of this section is that so many people tend to think that others will listen and leave their hometown,but surprisingly a lot of people didn't.And due to that one cause they all live in "prisonlike" camps. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243546?scroll_to=2221852 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243546?scroll_to=2221852 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 16:03:56 -0500 I also feel like maybe if the other countries would just have open arms for all those people who didn't have a place to call home anymore,they would have felt a bit more better.As well as not judging them for what ever they believe in. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243546?scroll_to=2221845 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243546?scroll_to=2221845 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 15:54:57 -0500 So many refugees come from all these places because of the global crisis after WW2.I think that other countries could just let all these people go to their hometown and stay there.Because at their home they weren't safe at all,and they would get judged. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243546?scroll_to=2221843 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243546?scroll_to=2221843 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 15:54:57 -0500 Most of them had to leave..because they were forced to due to their religious beliefs. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243546?scroll_to=2221826 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243546?scroll_to=2221826 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 15:46:41 -0500 I chose these two pieces of textual evidence because I felt like they both were the ones that were most detailed.What I mean by detailed is that they actually talked about why,and where the refugees had to leave their homes.And most of them had to leave.. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243546?scroll_to=2221825 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243546?scroll_to=2221825 "Jews who had survived Nazi concentration camps throughout Europe often returned home to find that their property and businesses had been taken over by other people. Most of these Jews could no longer survive in their hometowns"."The end of the war didn't end the suffering of millions of people whose homes were destroyed, who were released from prison camps or who had been expelled from their home countries". Tue, 01 Dec 2020 15:46:41 -0500 The main idea of this section was mainly about how many people we being forced to leave their homes.They were forced to leave because due to the war things were getting out of hand,and it was more dangerous for them all.So they had to leave to be safe. https://nowcomment.com/documents/243546?scroll_to=2221823 https://nowcomment.com/documents/243546?scroll_to=2221823 Tue, 01 Dec 2020 15:41:24 -0500 actually his.And that his whole time he spent with her and raising her she didn't even take it into considered because it meant nothing to her.Kind of like a relationship when you yourself put in all the effort to make the relationship strong etc,but.. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131096 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131096 at the end of the day it ends up meaning nothing to them and you end up feeling pointless because you gave it your all. Tue, 13 Oct 2020 11:58:53 -0400 It enhances Trevor's story because he gave his devotion to Fufi,and for her to just act like she didn't know him must have been heartbroken.He includes it here because he probably wanted us to see how hard it was for him to accept that she was never.. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131095 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131095 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 11:58:53 -0400 This is a good conclusion for this chapter because we can see that Trevor actually thought things out,and was able to see things differently.He was able to realize that not everything lasts for ever,and no one or anything is actually all yours. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131093 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131093 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 11:51:31 -0400 The lesson that Trevor learns when he gets fufi back was that the things that you think are yours never really are.And when you want something so bad,you give all your heart and soul to that one thing but they never give you that same energy back. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131078 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131078 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 11:51:31 -0400 Fufi was a significant part of Trevor's life because she brought happiness into his life.She brought him happiness because after all the bad things going on in the world at the time she was still there and was his rock.They both had each other. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131060 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131060 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 11:30:17 -0400 This flashback enhances Trevor's story because he is able to show us that the people back then and the people now are still the same.What I mean by that is that many people are still very cruel and act more superior than others.And tend to wrongly accuse. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131057 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131057 Tue, 13 Oct 2020 11:27:38 -0400 Just out of nowhere when their own kind a white man does something terriablly wrong then they are all scared and worried.But never when the average black man tends to get treated wrongly,they just turn themselves away not even caring. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131040 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233922?scroll_to=2131040 This line is so powerful because it is basically saying that the white people finally opened their eyes to the abuse going on.But they never focused or cared about when the Blacks would get treated wrongly.All now just out of nowhere they start caring and getting scared.This outrage over this cat video made the black people feel like they were still less.I say this because now that one of their people the white man does something wrong they then start getting worried and scared.But when its about a black man they don't even turn to look at them. Tue, 13 Oct 2020 11:23:18 -0400 I would say that the the racial category this would make Nadine Gordimer would be white.I say this because her parents were born and raised either in Russia and or London.She had way more privileges because she wasnt considered an ¨African women¨. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2115767 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2115767 Mon, 05 Oct 2020 00:06:51 -0400 other writers just use basic words,but Nadine used words that made her stand out and made her writing more precise and detailed. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2115761 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2115761 Sun, 04 Oct 2020 23:56:06 -0400 Some words that stook out to me were nasty,fierce,awful,fiery,elude,bliss,clutched,and triumphant.I think Nadine decided to use these words because they were more powerful,and were more detailed words to be able to use in this type of writing.Because https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2115759 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2115759 Sun, 04 Oct 2020 23:56:06 -0400 In her town,people were motivated by the idea of them actually being able to find gold.Thats why they kept on digging and digging and never stopped,even if their own hometown ended up looking horrible. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2115747 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2115747 Sun, 04 Oct 2020 23:45:56 -0400 to live because of how she makes it sound,that everything was getting torn down.Nothing looked like before,and I bet a lot of places werent safe anymore like they used to be. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2115742 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2115742 Sun, 04 Oct 2020 23:38:56 -0400 Her home town was being practically destroyed due to all the mining going on.Her hometown looked more and more as if they were in the middle of nowhere,as if people had just discovered that part and were going to fix it up.I dont think it was a nice place https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2115740 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2115740 Sun, 04 Oct 2020 23:38:56 -0400 Because of all the gold mining going on in her hometown,living there was like as if they were living in Egypt.I say this because there were always people either digging,and or making piles of sand and what not just for gold. https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2115736 https://nowcomment.com/documents/233703?scroll_to=2115736 Sun, 04 Oct 2020 23:33:22 -0400 It was different for Mandela going to school because he had to change his name due to British bias.The impact that it had on the African culture was that they were not learning about his culture,instead another culture. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231405?scroll_to=2101587 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231405?scroll_to=2101587 Tue, 29 Sep 2020 15:22:54 -0400 because the system was different for them to ask questions. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231405?scroll_to=2101580 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231405?scroll_to=2101580 Tue, 29 Sep 2020 15:18:58 -0400 Xhosa children acquired knowledge by paying attention to what others did and said,as well as also copying them.For them they didnt have a standard method so they couldnt ask questions,which lead to them just observing.In the western upbringing it differed https://nowcomment.com/documents/231405?scroll_to=2101579 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231405?scroll_to=2101579 Tue, 29 Sep 2020 15:18:58 -0400 Some of the skills that Mandela learned was how to knock the birds out of the sky so theyd be a meal.As well as learning how to swim in different types of streams in order for him to be able to catch food as well. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231405?scroll_to=2101560 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231405?scroll_to=2101560 Tue, 29 Sep 2020 15:14:26 -0400 The rules for both men and women are different because men would differ because women basically had to do things around the house while the men would go to the farms and do work there. https://nowcomment.com/documents/231405?scroll_to=2101557 https://nowcomment.com/documents/231405?scroll_to=2101557 Tue, 29 Sep 2020 15:11:25 -0400 Knowing english was such a big deal because his mother went from working in farms to a job at a factory.It was important to trevors mom because it was something she was able to accomplish on her own. https://nowcomment.com/documents/232058?scroll_to=2100138 https://nowcomment.com/documents/232058?scroll_to=2100138 Tue, 29 Sep 2020 12:14:57 -0400 Her childhood compares to Trevors because they both felt and experienced that ¨why dont you love me¨.And or them wanting to go far away as possiable. https://nowcomment.com/documents/232058?scroll_to=2100100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/232058?scroll_to=2100100 Tue, 29 Sep 2020 12:11:48 -0400 Means that in order for the whole act of Apartheid to work the white people needed to to get into the minds of the colored/black.So that by doing that the blacks would be scared,and or always obey orders. https://nowcomment.com/documents/232058?scroll_to=2099957 https://nowcomment.com/documents/232058?scroll_to=2099957 Tue, 29 Sep 2020 12:03:03 -0400 I think it depends on where you are from,because everyone gets treated different either if its b/c of your skin color,your race etc.So I am going to say that I dont really know. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2070277 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2070277 Tue, 22 Sep 2020 13:41:57 -0400 and are able to connect with him in a way.It gives more of a background info behind what actually happened. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2070102 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2070102 Tue, 22 Sep 2020 13:29:31 -0400 I think Noah uses dialogue in his writing because it shows his emotions,and actions.Basically to make his his writing more eye catching.It enhances his writing because we as readers can feel his emotions and know certain moments were important.... https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2070062 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2070062 Tue, 22 Sep 2020 13:25:12 -0400 I think his mother should be scared of them taking Trevor away,and or her getting killed along with Trevor.But I guess it was best to not fear anything because then you would be lost,and you would have lost the battle. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2069989 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2069989 Tue, 22 Sep 2020 13:15:54 -0400 Violence shapes Trevors opinion about his community because he doesnt feel like thats how his childhood should have been because he and others were just kids at the time.He knew and thought it wasnt right for him and others to be living in fear. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2069896 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2069896 Tue, 22 Sep 2020 12:58:27 -0400 It reveals that his mother felt like it was something she had to do,almost as it was mandatory..not because she wanted to.Because if she just went right back about her business meaning she would not even acknowledge what she just had done. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2069415 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2069415 Tue, 22 Sep 2020 12:31:26 -0400 This tells that the people that live there that they are not safe,nor treated the same.Because they were basically a joke to the other people.They were always in danger and that is not a way to be living,because you would always live in fear. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2069252 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2069252 Tue, 22 Sep 2020 12:25:23 -0400 The significance of the township of Soweto was basically always meant to be all beaten up.What I mean by that is the township just did what they pleased and werent thinking of others because it was like a prison.You couldnt do what you pleased. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2069192 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2069192 Tue, 22 Sep 2020 12:23:12 -0400 What I mean by different it that his own opinion changed then and there.Because he probably took it as ¨why run away/or leave if this is where I am from¨,and he felt like it wasnt right. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2069086 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2069086 Tue, 22 Sep 2020 12:08:28 -0400 I think this mindset helped Trevors sense of pride in his nationality because with the lady who had said that it hit Trevor different.Because maybe he felt like he didnt belong in his home town but just with what the lady said he felt different. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2069064 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2069064 Tue, 22 Sep 2020 12:07:02 -0400 When the apartheid fell Nelson Mandela was let out of prison and was able to be a free man again.It happened because Mandela never with the whole apartheid,and because he was a political leader. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2068830 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2068830 Tue, 22 Sep 2020 11:53:56 -0400 I think that the authors message in the introduction was to not feel like we are more superior that others,because we are all equal.All are human,and should be treated equally. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2064419 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2064419 Mon, 21 Sep 2020 13:16:40 -0400 In the introduction Trevor Noah includes how the act of the apartheid was how people started to see they were ¨different¨.And started to dislike each other,the government just did that so that the other people knew who was ¨in charge¨. https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2064171 https://nowcomment.com/documents/227826?scroll_to=2064171 Mon, 21 Sep 2020
