Okay so, lets see so far I’m not sure how I am going to like this new book. I think that it is going to be very different from Zia. The one thing that bothers me about the book is that the book bounces back and forth between present time, and what happend, and then trying to connect everything, unless you are paying attention THEN your screwed.

I am not a huge fan of the wife, shes a crazy person.  I’m not sure, but if you have to keep a list of everything that bothers about your husband, then maybe you should consider to not marry this dude. It is also a  very bad way to break up with someone. Oh I am going away to a forgin country, I hate you and heres a list about why I don’t like you…

another reason why it is taking me time to adjust to the new novel is that its annoying to not  be able to uncover his new job. I feel that if we findout what his job is then, we will be able to understand more things.  One of the reasons why is that on the list that his wife gave him a list which called him a spy and traitor.

I would also like to find out about his son, he was mentioned onced and then we didnt’ really hear about him for the rest of the chapter.

Its going to be an interesting book, it kind of reminds me of the Eric Lu reading, about finding out what their idenity is.

“no justice, no peace”

Within three days, 45 people died, and $1billion worth of damage. 8,000 federal troops

“Is this America or South America?”

“Guilty, Guily, we saw it, we know it”

“It’s not where you end its where you start”

“Jurors, Why are you holding your heads in shame?”

According to  Charles duke (cop) the rodeny king inciddent wouldn’t have ever happend if the upper body restraint (choke hold) wasn’t taken out of a way to detain suspects. The reason why it was taken off was because 56 black males had died. The reason why the cops hit rodney king so many times, was because they weren’t hitting him effeciantly. wtf?

the movie was amazing and gave a strong insight as to what occurred during the LA riots. It showed the racial injustice, and what hapends when people do not like hte outcome of a violent crime. Personally I think that it was complete bullshit that the cops were found not guilty. Secondly, I feel as if the jurory was somewhat remsembling the OJ simpson juroy, there were just middle class white males. Hmm aren’t the cops all middle class white males? I thought so. Additionally, I felt that it was perfectly acceptable that the juroy had their names released, for screwing up that bad they deserve it.

Lastly I loved how the movie was set up the actress did such a good job of portraying each and every person that she inteviewed. it was as if, it was the actual interviewee itself. The fact that she was constantly changing characters gave the movie a good flow and kept you guessing constantly.
