Photo Analysis


The people present in this photo are from left to right my brother, me, my grandfather, my father, who is holding my nephew, and my sister. My family and I were all celebrating my nephew’s Baptism. This was a very important religious celebration for my family since we all believe very strongly in the sacraments. All the people present in this photo are very important to me starting with my brother he’s 11 years old and he likes to annoy me a lot. We fight because of this sometimes, but we love, protect and defend each other always. On my right side of me is my grandfather he’s an episcopal bishop. In the ceremony he was the one that did the baptism of my nephew. I don’t see very often my grandfather, because of his job he travels a lot. But when I get to see him in special occasions like this one, I know he will always be there in the important moments in life. My father is a very dedicated working man that has always looked out for the best for my sister, my brother and I. He and my mom divorced 10 years ago, but he always comes to visit my brother and I in the weekends. He is always reminding us to do always good to others, look out for the best in every single person and to not judge people for their mistakes. He’s quite serious and doesn’t laugh that much, sometimes we do not understand each other. But I know he loves me and just wants the best for me. My nephew as you can see is a beautiful baby boy. In the picture he is crying because he was scared of my grandfather’s hat. He’s 1 year old and is a very agile, and intelligent baby. I love him very much since is my first nephew. And finally is my sister. She’s a very calm and patient woman. I would like to learn that from her because I’m very lack of patience. She’s a very nice and humble person. I love her very much and she is very important to me because she’s my big sister and I know we can count on each other with anything.

Reflexion on What is Happening to Lybia

            What is happening right now at present time to the country of Libya is a very painful, sad and horrible moment. Libyan people are being killed and abused for no explainable reason. They just want to have the necessary things that every human being wants and needs to have; and that’s freedom. They are denied to have the freedom to choose what to wear, where to go, who to be, what to say, what to do, etc. People in Libya can’t have or experience this freedom tasks. But there tyrant governor Gadaffi can have them. It is a situation that is just not fair. How can one person rule a country so mean and oppressively? Only one person… is just stupid to think that some old guy is killing and abusing the people of Libya. The army that follows this tyrant is just repulsive because they are killing their own people, their own land; the land where they were born. This situation resembles the one that passed in Germany with Hitler killing massively all the Jewish living in Germany. The U.S government wants to intervene because we are all humans, we are all equal. No matter where we are from, we all live in the same planet and is just not fair that some tyrant rules Libya brutally and abusively. The people of Libya are only trying to gain their freedom and basic human rights. It matters to the entire world what is happening to them, because today they are them tomorrow it can be us. Humans should fight for their basic rights and needs and it should matter to everyone what this people are passing through. As humans we should have solidarity and compassion for this hard and sad situation. We should try our best to try to help our fellow neighbors like USA and all the nations united are trying to do. We shouldn’t be indifferent to this situation because that is just wrong. I admire USA and all the countries that are allied to help this cause. I hope this resolves very soon.
