Task today was a picture our teacher showed ous. I'm sorry it is not possible to show you guys the picture, but I have to describe the best i can. It is a picture about people living in the slum of India. There are two kids in front of the picture standing on a kind of a pile of some rocks. Between there are some other people sleeping on the dirty ground with some garbish around. But about a mile way or something, there is a city with lot of modern buildings with different colors of lights. That makes me for real sad and also angry in a kind of a way when I see the kids just standing there in the rocks. Is a am living in a "upper class" I feel extremely sorry for them and I'm appreciate the way I live. And i wish that in the future, people from the upper class should give more to the lower class. 

On Friday the 27th my class and I went the cinema and we watched the "The Imitation Game"  and the question I have chosen for the task is:

Imagine that you are to interview Alan Turing after the end of the war. Write down five questions you would like to ask him.

- How did you come up with the idea of the computer Christopher?
-Have you always had such interest in math like you had in the movie?
-How was it to be a homosexual in a country where it was illigal?
-There is a scene from the movie where the principal tells you that Christopher is dead. You tell him that Cristopher was not a good friend, just a guy you known. But what was your real reaction?
-Why did you bring the computer home?  

1. Do you think the colonies had a good reason to declare independence?

- What I think is that if I were a colonist I would not like to pay taxes that just ended in England's fortune and did not do something for the society. That is one of the reasons I think the colonies has a good reason to declare independence.  

2. Should one country be able to colonize another? When should a colony be granted Independence?

- I think that one country could not be able to colonize an other nowadays. It was obviously more right to do the same thing back in the days where people where fighting each other to get property and land.     

3. The Bill of Rights guarantees Americans "the right to bear arms". Many Americans still feel this is important for personal safety and in case they need to revolt against their own government, they argue that the Minutemen and the local militias only won the fight for Independence because they had firearms. What do you think? Should everyone have the right to bear arms? All kinds of arms?

At first, when the question says something about “the bill of rights” and “the right to bear arms”         -it means that in America everyone can carry weapons for personal safety. As I am a Norwegian, I would be extremely scared if we had the same right, but I think that America is off course something else. Back in the times where it was I kind of war of land and properly people used to carry guns and other weapons to protect them self. Therefore, if a group of immigrants came to a place where some other had settle down before, they would use guns to scare the immigrants away. But that was before the

4. If you were to present your nation's history in the same way as above, which events would you choose? Why? - List the events and write a couple of sentences about them.
