Tony the brave one

Tony

Brave, Curious, Legend, witch warrior.

Son of his father, the wise one.
Brother to koala, the cosy one.
Son of a lady somewhere downtown, no one really knows…

Loves being at home.
Likes being without dangerous creatures.
Likes his friend Leon

He feels fear 24/7
He feels frightened by scary dreams.
He feels that he needs to kill someone after dreaming weird things.

Who needs a helping hand
A personal mental trainer
To live without fear

He fear cops

He fear demons

He fear witches

He gives away his protecting shield

Along with an arrowhead

And a bullet

He wishes how it is being free

He wishes to see the cop dead

He wishes his family to be safe

He’s a part of an indigenous group

He’ll keep on living in his own house until he dies

30 rock questions

A ) Why do you think I wanted you to watch this episode?

B) Is using humour a good way to approach sensitive topics? Discuss.

a)
I believe that we watched that 30 rock episode, mainly because it brings up the racism and prejudice that we have today in a humoristic way. Because of the media, we find it easy to judge people by the way they look, their religion or how they dress.  We find it far too easy to think that a person that is different is a bad person. For example in the episode, the lady delivers a package to her neighbor and see that he’s from the middle east, has some weird things in his apartment, and she starts believing that he’s a terrorist. I think that she’s not alone and we all judge people from time to time. The way this show brings up that topic in a humoristic way, makes it easier for us to place ourselves in that situation, and find out that we often judge people as well.  

b) I think it’s a great way to approach sensitive topics, but it’s more suitable for some topics compared to others.  The racism topic is good to use humor about, mainly because there’s no reason for someone to be threatened different because of their skin color. Maybe this is a too serious theme to joke about, but bringing it up in different ways could make people think more about it on daily basis. There should be more focus on accepting other people, and especially other religions. This is something that could be easier to accept if we present it with a sense of humor. When your present serious topics you have to be careful, and I think that the younger generations should be the targets here. On the other hand, many people will react when we’re joking around sensitive topics, and that is something that we should avoid.
So, presenting serious topics with humor can be a good way to do it, but it’s important that it doesn’t cross the line, and that we keep away from topics that should be handled in a serious and formal way.

Oppgåve D

I dag skulle vere den store dagen. I dag skulle babyen bli født. På sjukehuset var det ei spent stemning idet det unge paret kom. Mora hadde ikkje følt seg så bra i det siste, og frykta at noko kunne vere galt med barnet deira. Dei gjekk inn for å få den fyste undersøkinga overstått. Dei skjønte det allereie då, i det ansiktutrykket på doktoren endra seg drastisk, at noko ikkje var heilt som det skulle. Legen pusta tung og ga dei den forferdelege beskjeden…  Dei så på dei ny innkjøpte barneskoa  og omfamna kvar andre.

In media res
Eit spedbarn har dødd. Det var orda som gjekk rundt på sjukehuset ein kald og dyster haustkveld. Eit ungt par omfamna kvarandre og ein kunne høre hulka frå familien. Regnet hølja ned idet paret gjekk ut med dei nye små barneskoa dei hadde kjøpt. Det var uverkeleg. Dei hadde venta 9 månadar og forberedt alt. Heime sto det eit tomt barnerom, ein tom seng, og ubrukte leikar.

Pizzaen var god. Endeleg var det fredag igjen! Dagen der eg får favorittmaten min. Det er ein perfekt samansetting av ost, oregano og skinke. Kvar gong eg et det frydar smakslaukane mine seg. Det er som om himmel og jord møtast.  Den himmelske følesen ein får kvar gang ein et denne maten. Ein sprø men luftig botn, med tomatsaus, og ein haug med ost og skinke. Kan det bli betre? Denne kvelden var det tid for fredagspizzaen, og eg må seie at den innfridde alle forventingane.

Mikael er svært interessert i musikk:
Kvar dag sit Mikael på rommet sitt og spelar. Ikkje video-spel, men musikk. Fleire timar i strekk, dag etter dag. Om det ikkje er gitarlydar som kommer ut så er det piano eller munnspel. Eg trur ikkje han bryr seg om noko anna lenger.  Musikken har blitt ein så stor del av livet hans at familien kjem i andre rekke. Alt han snakkar om er den kjære musikken hans, og ikkje minst den fine gitaren, som kanskje er det viktigaste han har. Eg er sikker på at han ein gong skal bli ein musikar.

Oppgåve A

OPPGÅVE A: Skriv eit blogginnlegg der du forstørrar éit av følgjande to augeblikk:
Augeblikk 1: Du sit på bussen på veg heim frå skulen ein ettermiddag. Du er trøytt etter ein slitsam dag på skulen, og du ynskjer at det skal vere stille rundt deg. Men så kjem to eldre damer på, og set seg på seta rett bak deg. Dei er av den særs pratsame sorten.

Det hadde vore ein av dei verre dagane på skulen. Mas frå alt og alle. Hovudet mitt kjentes ut som om det skulle eksplodere. Eg tok dei tunge skritta mot busshaldeplassen, og alt eg tenkte på var å komme meg heim og få fred rundt meg. Det låg an til å bli ein stille og behageleg busstur. Eg sat med hovudet lent bakover og lukka auga, idet det kom to gamle damer på bussen og sat seg rett bak meg. «Eg tek meg ein høneblund,» tenkte eg og lukka auga. Men det gjekk ikkje meir enn to sekund før dei gamle kjerringane begynte å snakke. Og dei snakka og snakka. Eg kjende raseriet boble, og stemmene deira blei berre høgare og høgare. Dei lo og skreik. «Kvifor akkurat i dag?» tenkte eg. Eg som var så sliten… Gjennom heile bussturen snakka dei som om dei var på ein rocke-konsert. Eg hadde så lyst til å snu meg å be dei om å være stille, men dei var jo berre to gamle damer og eg vil jo ikkje vere uhøfleg. Eg lukka auga og heldt for øra. Då eg endelig kom heim la eg meg i senga og sov til middag.

What did you find most interesting in the book?

What I found most interesting in the book called The Curious Incident of The Dog In The Nigh Time. Well, the way Christopher’s thinking at any situation on daily basis. What we do without even thinking could be a difficult task for a person with Asperger’s syndrome or any other similar disease.
It always makes me thinking, when I read books like that, or even just hear about someone that has to go through a life like that. Of course Christopher had e decent good life, even though his disease slowed him down at some places. Another interesting part of the book was when his parents tried to make him understand that they loved him, but was unable to most of the time, mostly because Christopher didn’t apply thing that we often relate with loving, like giving hugs etc. It seemed like they found their ways to make him happy after all, but I believe that it took some years.

I think that people like Christopher needs understanding and compassion.  I want to bring in an example from the book, when Christopher was in public and at the underground. He was having a hard time and everything was difficult for him, but people kept on staring at him and I remember him describing some people calling him mean things. This made me think about how almost everyone treats people that seems a bit “un normal” in public. I believe that almost everyone would stare at that person, and of course it’s difficult, especially when people like Christopher where their disease doesn’t show on the outside.  Maybe this is what the main purpose of this book was? Giving people some thoughts about how a person with Asperger’s syndrome is thinking. How these people also can be extremely smart, or good at specific things, is also something I find interesting. The way Christopher, who clearly is missing some social antennas, is extremely good at maths.
