there are three sides to every story: Your side, my side and the truth.

I think that this phrase is related with the movie in the sense that the palestinian people had one point of view which was that they were victims of israelites, so they wanted to take revenge of what the isrealites did to them. And the israelites considered the palestinian people as enemies, So in this kind of situation one part thinks that they have the truth and in the other hand the israelites thinks that they have the truth, but they don't realize that no one has the whole truth,because both sides feel that they were attacked or something like that, so they are always thinking in take revange but that is not good, because they will never going to have an arrangement and while they are fighting for they differences, there are inocent people who is dying.
People should be open to other points of view because there are more of one right so inspite of be close of mind and kill other people they should think that maybe what they ae doing is not right.

In the movie we saw that Said and Khulad were chosen to be bomb suicide and attack the israelits, they accepted because they thoght

Rapa Nui People

The Rapa Nui people live on Easter Island.
Rapa Nui is the original name of this island of volcanic origin and triangular shape, located in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean.

Contemporary Rapa Nui keep their rites, ceremonies and ancestral beliefs.

Some of their practices vary depending on this people's different stages since their prehistory.
In what is known as the expansive stage, an unusual religious fervor toward the ancestors took place: three hundred ceremonial altars and almost six hundreds moai were built. Priests were endowed with special power. Political crisis and starvation followed in what is known as the decline phase. The Rapa Nui were now praying for food. Such is the origin of the fertility cult of the god Make Make.
However, old concepts as Mana and Tapu prevailed. Mana is the supernatural power or magic.
It is in hands of the spirits and of some initiated.
This magic can be transmitted to any object, and so can be to those people living close to powerful men.
Ceremonial Shrines The
moais, were directly sculpted in volcanic rock, using basalt stone-cutters.
Once finished, they were lifted, and carried to the volcano's foot, using ropes made out of vegetable fibers. After placing them in the upright position, the Rapa Nui carved the moais' eyes, noses, and elongated ears, while tattooing its back. By dragging them with ropes and wooden structures, or by pushing them with bascular movements - as if they were walking by themselves - they were transported to a given ceremonial shrine.
The long and hard task of moving one of these sculptures ended when the moai was placed on the ahu or shrine, with the ocean at its back. Here Ariki, the King, presided the ritual to invest the moai with a power capable of protecting the lineage and the island.
They have an importan ceremonie which is celebrated every year, representatives of different lineage competed to obtain the first egg of the seagull known as Manutara, that nested on a small island, Motu Nui, located in front of Orongo.
Whoever brought the egg, unbroken and after a tough fight, was entitled as Tangata Manu. This meant that the winner was the reincarnation of the very Make Make god

Opinion essay

The poem is about friendship and it shows the conflicts that we sometimes have with our friends when some of them change the way that they used to be and their mind.

I agree with this because sometimes we don’t like the change that they have, maybe because we feel that the relation is different and we don’t feel comfortable staying with that person, so we start to get some troubles and finally going away of that friend, but in the end if the friend is real so the friendship will stay forever because we love each other and we learn to accept each other.

So .Why although the friends change we keep being close? I think that happens because the friendship is real and that is a gift that we have to care because many people enter in our life and sometimes we think that they are friends, but may be they aren’t. So friends come and go but the real friends always stay with us although the differences that we can have, if the friendship is real we will accept each other any way. It’s like when we have been whit a friend for many years but in a moment both change and we start to realize that we don’t have anything in common and then we just separate from the other. That happen when isn’t a true friendship but when it really is, we keep together after all.

In conclusion I believe that if we have a real friend, we shouldn’t lose him just because now we have some differences. Growing is a part of the life and to change also it is, The thing is accept this change.
