Sandpiper

We read the story Sandpiper by Adhaf Soueif, the task we had to solved is to mention the relations between the story and a bird also called Sandpiper, we could finde 4 relations and these are the following ones:
The first one is that the sandpiper is a type of bird that lives near the coasts and the place where the story is located is near the coasts. Secondly the bird got narrow wing, this is a metaphor to show that she couldn`t go away form africa, in other words she could not "fly" as long as she want as a bird, so she was stacked in that place for her daugther. The third reason is that this type of bird is not colorful at all, it has 3 colors and are white, black and dark orange, so there are opaque colors, is another metaphor with the girl mention in the story, she is a girl with a dull personality or boring. And the last connection with the story is that this birds are hybridise, they can have relation with other animals and this is clearly shown in the story she was inglish woman married with an african man, two different races together.

"My Greatest Ambition" : Empathy Taks

I can`t believe he published his first comic strip on this known magazine, he isn`t good enough for writing comic strips for Boy Magazine. He didn`t even bring money to me or at home, he is not useful for us. He thinked that he will be famous after this haha... He is no one, nobody knows his, i don`t know why hi did this. It`s a miserable "job", he is good for nothing, and he is a little boy, he won`t triumph with this stupid thing.
Italked with her mother, and she is proud of him, happy, I can`t undedrstand it at all. She shoudn`t be supporting this crazy situation, he won`t be a famous guy after this, he should understand that. 
I didn`t and i`m not going to support him, it`s funny, he won`t gain money, the comic is a disaster and he believes he`s good haha. Poor boy.

Literature Essay

Oh gosh!What can we do? We are in very big troubles...Do we have to say the truth? Lie to him?...Oh but wait, thats wrong! I'm not gonna lie to my father....or...no,no I definitely not gonna lie to him.
But the big question is what can we do¿? Run away.. is not a bad option...but Huey doesn`t run so fast so as to escape quickly!.. What else.. what else,... oh yes! we can prepare another pudding!, oh but, we don`t have the time and the ingredients, neither the kitchen.
Dad is going to get angry, really angry... and that is not going to have good consequenses.
Maybe we are going to be punished, and pudding was really important for him. And we ruined it. We will have to tell him the truth, he doesn`t deserve a lie, we have to accept the consequenses...
Oh there he comes....

Diary Entry.

1994,1st July

Dear Diary:
I´m really angry. It is not that I don´t want to have visitors in our country but they are giving us orders all the time, now there´s a new "law" we have to speak like them if not we have a punishment, can you believe that? It´s incredible! I´m 11 years old and I think this is horrible!!
Yesterday with some friends we were remembering old moments, when we were free because I haven´t said this but they want to have power over us.
But we are enough clever and intelligent no to let that happen, or that is what I think...
I remember very well when a man dressed very ridiculous and spoke in a strange language and I didn´t understand anything and now, now I speak and write their language, it´s INCREDIBLE.
After all, I think someday we will be free from that people. We don´t know who they are, what they want or even what they think of us, but they are here with use now, some people are saying that we are in the middle of a process. I don´t believe that or maybe I don’t want to believe it. They think that we are in the process of colonization, yes what you read, COLONIZATION.
Britain wants to colonize us.
But well see you tomorrow.
Bye--
