Letter ot Mr. Bernard Murdoch


Dear Mr. Bernard Murdoch,
Thank you for your presentation on Friday. I learn a lot of about your country -Kiribati. I know your country was an low-lying group of islands. Because the climate change, the Kiribati was being danger to be submerge, Kiribati's land was gradually become little.

1. The story in Avatar is really based on the age old story of colonization. Describe why Jake's colleagues want to destroy the tree the Navi live in. Do they realize that destroying the tree essentially destroys the Navi's habitat? Why or why not?
-- The Navi there world just like a big Network, Network of whole world, every animal, every people, every resident, they just like a little super computer, and that huge tree, just like their mainframe. But the human they did not know! So they just know their benefits, that expensive stone.

2. Describe a similar conflict from history.

-- Avatar that me remember a similar history– St. Brice's Day massacre. Was about killing Danes.

3. Describe a similar conflict that is happening in the world today.

-- Now the people just like inside of Avatar's human, we want to eat, want to live in good place, and we cover the ocean. We never think about the animal, and the aborigine, we destroy them home. But we did not know we are destroy our own home – Earth, too.

Where is it?
-- It is on the Caribbean Sea. Haiti was near the dominican republic and Cuba.

Why do they speak french there?
-- Haiti was like the Cuba of the 1800s. Every nation around them hated them and feared slave rebellions in their own countries. At that time, they doesn’t know how to speak French, they have their own Language- African languages. After a generation of enslavement on the island the younger slaves learn it up.

How was it different than other slave colonies?
-- fought and won their freedom.

What is Taiwan's relationship to Haiti?
-- we see each other as sovereign nations, TW one of the first nations to respond to crisis.
