Love?

For Christopher, he have a very wierd sense when it comes to love. He couldn't read emotions, doesn't allow people to touch him. I believe that his dad lvoes him with communication. He communicate with him throught talking and care for him. Despite all the wierd habits that Christopher have, his father regard all of that and follow all the rules of Christopher and what he likes.
For me, i don;t have a specifric definetion for love. I believe communication too, i like someone who can screw around with me, talk to me alot of times and be there for me. I'm diffrent from Christopher, i like to be touched. It gives me a sense of comfort and belonging when i'm touched, a pad on the shoulder, a hug or anything. Looks matter to me alot, but i would pick someone that is fun and active over someone who is quiet. Talkative women never occur to be a problem to me, my moments of silence are quite little.

A World With No People

No, i have never dreamed about leaving alone in the world, it would one hell of a fcking disaster, honestly. I have to ahve friends, i have no life if i have no friends that love me. If i were to live alone i might as well kill mysellf and die. First, you will not have electircity, no entertaiment, no fantastic food such as a well cooked meal from the best restaurant. Instead, you will be eating instant noodle for the next 2 to 5 yeaars. All the things that are inside the frig will run out of power and the food expiration days have the longest of 5 years. After that, you're screwed. Leaving alone never occur to me, i would only imagine myself being stranded with someone alone. Such as being stranded on a island with the person i love, being alone means we'll be together for long and possibly love could sprout out. That's what my dreams are ususlly about. i would also imagine myself being trapped with my enemy in a deserted palce and no one would come. I could beat him, pee on him, humiliate him, and possibly even beat him to death if i want. No consequences will be made to me when i can be with my enemy alone. I believe the kind of alone that i would like is refer as time stopping. The power when you can stop time for any amount of time you feell like and want. Do whatever you like during that time, steal some drinks, eat in a dinner without paying, and even slap your boss and he wouldn't know.

Each Other’s Business

In the passage Eboo Patell wrote, he talked about racial and religion judgements. Using the Norman painging that he gave, it talked about people from diffrent goups facing the same god. They live in peace a harmony around each other. We are all in this together, we have to work together and live together. After looking at the work, i feel a sense of harmony and united feature from the painting. From the poem, it also discuss about people standing together. From both sources the Eboo Patell provide and believes are true and i strongly supports it. The idea of stadning together over a universal belief of the same god should be in all people's heart. I don't think god would like to watch us kill each other for fighting who was worshipping the right one.

Self-Definition

If i have to define myself in one word, i would describe myself in the word curly. I used to hate that name because i wanted to look more like everyone else. However, as time pass on till now, i like the word curly as it suits my personality and look. If you would have walk around numerous school like i did, its really unusual for someone to have a afro like this nowadays and its espacially unique. Anyone can look at me once and remember me by my curly hair and name me something that is related to curly. I like the name as it also suits my personality. When having a curly hair, it really look a bit messy and hard to comb and organize it. I'm a unorganized person, but i still have the sense of responsibility. The messiness of my hair correspond to how i do things the way unorganized. With the unique look, i also dress diffrently from kids around my community when i'm around. I like to wear lots of rings and necklaces, this is quite uncommon to some students and i stand out even more. This further strenghten my word as curly, unique hairstyle, and a unique dressing. I think i am fine with both way as narrow or lots of names. When you have lots of names, it kinda symbolize you are universal, lots of people know you. When you have a narrow name like i have now, it like your symbol. It would only mean one thing when this word is called out and you will be the only one that turn back and say "what?"

Author’s Attitude

I believe that the author of Islam in America agrees and supports the Muslims living in America. Fromthe statistics and the examples that were given to the reader, it seems the author want to make clear of the religion and the people. The author seems to be me that his trying to make me feel ddiffrent about the muslims. Expressing the idea that they are also relugar people and some follow a strict code while some don't. However they are all regular kids that you could hang out with and understand them. When looking at this article, it made me remembered some of the people that i met in the summer, lot of them were friendly muslims while they follow a strict code of law. They do fastings, they wear proper clothing and say no bad words. They are really friendly, and i kind of miss them and the article made me further realize how muslims are not just wierd people or terroists. I think the author wrote this article after the 911 event probably a few month or year later. It was written to young people such as teenagers in high school to educate and open them into the world of muslins. To go and understand them and be friendly with them.

Living Together

I used to hang out with all kinds of people ranging from pesky white boys to mad blacks. I can get along well with all of them. WIth the enviroment i have now, there isn't much of a cultural diffrence and background. however i believe if we can have a cultural diversity and background it can make soceity a better palce to accept newcomers. People can join a diffrent group easily and fast, feeling like themselves when in a cultural diversity group. If it was a small asain that wanted to join a whole group of big african americans, it might be wierd and akward for him to act really ntaural. He would stand out in the group and possibly be aware of rumors or maybe discrimination in the group of chit chats. If it was a group that is join by diffrent groups, he can view himseld diffrent with other people as they all stand from diffrent parts of the world or culture. They could learn from each other on each unique diffrence of life. As they learn of diffrent customs, they can increase the tolerance on diffrent people because they already felt it before. However, there might also be a possibilitiy when the people's culture clash and fight can arose.
