I think the song was about a celebration. It seemed like everyone was all joyful and happy, maybe a festival was going on. THe tempo of the song was upbeat and happy. If it had a video people would have been most liely dancing and celebrating.
It relates to the novel by showing how it was when they had the festival of the yam and after the wrestling match.

Things Fall Apart
My response to the video is that it gave a feel for what Africa was about. It didn't tell us but showed and made us listen to what Africa really means and why theirsongs are made like that.
Also, it relates to Things Fall Apart because the mood of the song is somewhat similar to what it is of the novel. Things are intense at times but mellow at others.

Christmas In The Trenches
I liked the article Christmas in the trenches was spent how it is supposed to be. Everyone came together and it was a time of peace and caring. If the whole world were like that at all times noone would have problems. He would also have loved it becuase he thought the fighting wqas dumb and that everyone had no reason to fight. That it meant nothing. Becuase people like to fight for their countries but when it comes to one thing we all agree on it stops us from what we shouldn't be doing and come together as one.

Front Trench Of The WAr.
When i first get there i see a bunch of men all of them are really dirty and look like they haven't slept in days. They are all really skinny from not getting enough food in there body. They are all well aware of their surroundings. becuase where we were you will never know what is coming next. Half of them men looked frightened and scared the other half looked ready for battle and ready to kill. But almost all of them look dramatized from the war. I think it had affected them greatly from all of the death and bombings that were going on.
Teaching Is Fun.
I would try and play games with the kids to make stuff fun and make them pay attention more. Offer candy and other prizes for harder questions that the students get right. I would also let them watch more movies about what we are learning about but the movie will be something they want to watch. Make barely any homework ever.

Wealthiness=Happiness
I do no agree with that saying. People that are wealthy think that they are happy because they get whatever they want. Wealthiness doesn't always lead to happiness. just because you can get whatever you want doesn't necessarily mean your happy. You may be rich but not have love and that could make you unhappy. Being wealthy gets you whatever you want and sometimes helps you get your way into things. Like a certain event other people can't or can get people to do things you want them to do. Being wealthy also has disadvantages because you could be alone for your life. You could have no love and live alone because you are so greedy to money. That's all you want and nothing else. People don't want to be with someone like that.Wealth is a good thing to have but it doesn't prove to make anyone happy.

Kilimanjaro
Memories of my great past would come to mind. I would think about the life that has became before me. About my family, friends, good times, bad times, and just everything that has happened. Think of good things to make the best of a sticky situation. I really wouldn't want to think about that I am going to be dying soon. My life would flash before me in a short instance of time. Life itself would be more cherished than ever, mostly because it is about to end for me. The things i would think about most would be all of the things that I love. People I love, things I love, parts of life that I love also. I would also think about how I waste my life away and didn't do all of the things I had hoped i would do. It would be a pretty depressive time for me at this point. I'm dying and also crying from thinking about the great past life I had. Knowing that I won't have any more life to think about later it just makes me die inside already.
