E-SA

Task 2

I don't think that this picture is art. It's just a picture, I could also take a picture like this. There's nothing special, on it, nothing that makes me see think or that makes me see thins in a different light, it's just a woman with a spade, standing in her garden. In my opinion this picture is just called art because an artist made it. As I said before, art has to look different, special and it should make me dream or think about something. I don't want to say that no photo can be art, but mostly photos are not art. A photo of art is art, a photo of special geographic places or phenomena, or a photo that shows me something in a different perspective can be art.

Task 1


Dear Christoph,
I've just seen a very interesting picture which evoke a lot of emotions in me. So I just want to describe you the picture , and what it expresses. On the painting you can see five people, four adult white men and a little black girl. Each man has a yellow band arround the left upper arm, on which it says "Deputy US Marshall. The people walk down a pavement from left to right. two men are on the left side of the picture, and two on the right side.In the middle the little black girl is walking with shining white clothes. In the background you can see a wall, on which someone worte "Nigger" and a tomato has been thrown at it. At the bottom of the picture stands the name of the artist: Normal Rochwell. I think the picture has a very deep sense. It*s about racism. The little girl is carring some books and a rukler, so i think she is walking to school. Bute there are too many racists there so it's too unsafe to let the girl walk to school alone., which is why the US government decide d to send 4 strong and tall man to protect the child, so taht no one can hurt her. It made me think about our society, that someone gets kocked out just because they have a darker skin than others. You also have to see the picture, maybe you can find it in the internet. I would recommend it to you.

Snow Falling On Cedars

The Japanese Kabuo Miyamoto is accused to have murdered Carl Heine, so he was brought to a trail. The victim was found by sheriff Art Moran. He found Carl's boat at White Sand Bay, but the owner of it was out of sight. They recognised that the fishing net was still in the water so they decided to bring it in. As they pulled the net in they saw Carl Heines dead body in the net. They saw a bing wound on his head. The sheriff said to Nels Gudmundsson, Kabuo's lawer, that there were two different batteries in the batterie holder: a D-6 and a D-8. Carl had just D-8 batteries, but on Kabuo's boat they found 2 D-6, but no spare battery
Horace Whaley, Island County Coroner, found a pink cream came out of Carls mouth. It was air, body liquids an seawater mixed by breathing , which means that Carl was still alive as he drowned in the sea. Whaley also found that the headwound could be caused by Kendo, a japanese fighting method with stick. On Carls boat they found a rope which was different from the others, but on Kabuos boat there were other ropes like this. So it could have been that Kabuo tied his boat together with Carl's boat and left a rope in a hurry. Dr. Whitman tested the blood that was found on a stick which was found on Carls boat, and he had to prove the blood on it. The stick fixed exactly into the wound in Carl's head. But on the stick were no hair and no bone, but if this was the weapon whoch killed Carl there had to be things like this on the stick. The blood was only on the handl of the tool. Sergeant Maples trained Kabuo for the 2. world war. He said that Kabuo is able to kill far larger man then himself with a fishing tool.
Then Kauo told his story what happenend on the sea when he last saw Carl. It wa sa foggy night and the batteries of Carl were dead so Kabuo gave him one of his. But it didn' fit so they had to make more space for the battery, and Carl did that with the stick that Kabuo gave him. While he worked he cut in his hand with the metal and he begun to bleed, so the blood got to the stick. Hatsue had an idea what could happen to Carl afterwards, so she sent Art Moran to the boat to search it. They found out that Carl Heine went on the mast on his boat to put a light up, but then came a big ship and threw him with big it's big waves down from the mast, so he got his head injury and then he fell into his net and finally into the water.
