Praise songs for Orishas
3) The relationship between the gods and humans in the praise songs is very close relationship. Every god has a special part in the humans society.
4) The tone of the speakers is very proud. They praise their gods. Their attitude is very joyful and happy. Proud of what they have accomplished.
5) The praise song that was most appealing to me was Oshun (river goddess). This praise song is like a mothers love. I have a close relationship with my mother so it made me think about her.

Capital Punishment (Death penalty)
Death Penalty I am against it. Who ever has killed or done wrong will get what is coming to them.
In some cases they might not have the right person. Some times they wont find out till many years later.
If that person is killed by the death penalty what can they do to bring that person back? NOTHING!
At least if a person is put in prison he will suffer the consequences and know that what he has done was wrong.

A Drop of Milk
Thinking Through:
1) A question I would like to ask about the events in this myth is Doondari how did he come about? Why did Doondari keep creating something new?
2) The first part the world was created by a drop of milk. From their Doondari created stone from stone, iron was created from iron, water was created and from water finally air was created. Doondari a last created man with the five elements.
4) Blindness defeats man because a man who can not see knows that, that is his purpose. Sleep defeats blindness because when you wake up it the morning knowing you will have your eyesight as oppose to someone that is blind knows they will never have their eyesight.
5)Doondari returns as Gueno because he is the eternal one. Some one who is eternal does not die.
6) The truth about human life is that we all came from nothing centuries ago. Know a days people are proud of who they are and where they came from.
7) If man had not been to proud their would be no competition, no one to impress. Their would be no defeats and we all would be the same in every aspect.
8) You can compare these stories to the Fulani because they all created man and they all wanted better. From their worse was created with everyone and fault.
9) This myth is not very satisfying in my opinion it is not very straight forward.

Music
MUSIC, I love it.
I listen to all types of music.
Music takes you places. Music has certain tones and moods.
That is what I like about. Music is awesome can't live without it.
Music to me is freedom of speech. You can release your self and say what you feel.

Women in Africa
African Women are very strong. They have had very difficult lives. Most women in Africa till this day have no rights. A majority of Women in Africa are the informal labour force. Women are to provide food, nutrition, water, health and education to their children. These women have to have consent from their husband to do certain things, for instance to open a bank account.
It is assumed that educating a women makes them to independent. A women in Africa
main goal is to provide for children, cater to husbands every need and to care for house.
Girls are increasingly getting limited education. Women are not allowed to complete their education if pregnant. Half of the girls who drop out do so because of poverty and increase of school fees.
In Concluion for the Women in Africa it will be ruff for them.
The women will not give up. They have a purpose in life and the women in Africa are finding their purpose and will not giving up until they do.

Thinking Through pg 462
1) The poem that had the most vivid image in my head was "Jade fower palace". The details were so empowering. The colors and the objects were described so well.
2) Refering to "Land of Plauge and Fever" means not pleasent, dreadful full of death. "Wings to fly with", how do you escape their is no escape. "Waters" refering to neverending and "Horned Dragons", enemies the bad ones.
3) The theme was about a palace that was destroyed.
4) This talks about embracing an infant to muffle her screaming. It's not personal so that is why it wouldn't appear in a history book.
6) Talks about statues Monuments . The Jade Flower was about the distruction and "Ozymandia was about the building of a statue.
