Things Fall Apart 2

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.
