Liepaja: The City of Wind

4. Merriam is comparing a new day to “a sheet of paper for you to write on.”. Like “a new sheet of paper” a new day gives one the opportunity to start fresh and accomplish whatever they desire.

We are all members of a social group and members of `society´ as a whole. People interact in many ways and communication is just about the most common and among the most important. Whatever is meaningful to a group, from their everyday life to their traditions constitutes their very own culture and is generally respected by all group members. Language is only one of such items. For ethnic minority groups that may have a language of their own, their language is a cornerstone in their culture.

During this event a student asked, why did he write the book. He responded with, he was blessed to have the opportunity to moderate debates for such important people that would have the chance to run the country. But the main reason of writing the book was from the fact he interviewed most of the candidates for a television documentary about their debate experience. So upon having so much information and having such an effect on him he wrote the book Tension City.

In the story The Boy who Harnessed the Wind, The main character, and author, is a teenage boy by the name of William Kamkwamba. He was able to apply everything that he learned, and learned extremely quickly. He could lead his friends when they needed it, and when they didn’t. These three characteristics; intelligence, creativity, and persistence, are what best represents him.

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind was inspiring. William Kamkwamba never gave up, even when situations became difficult and no one believed in him. Kamkwamba pushed through the hunger from the drought. He lived off of one small portion of food each day. In addition to the drought causing a famine, the government made the prices of the crops increase.

Each human life is an unpredictable term to define. No one know who going to be rich, who going to be poor and no one will never know about what will coming for them. In general, people usually say life is hard. When a person was born, they have a same starting point with another. They all have to go through education and experience. However, there are two main categories of people: people who born in a good and wealthy family and people who doesn’t lucky to have that. It’s easy to assume a child from a rich family might have a brighter future because them have provided a better condition.

Manga and Anime, that found brilliance at the dawn of the digital age, have now moved on from the realm of popular culture to playing a powerful role in shaping the transnational memory of Japan in the twentieth century. Two wonderful examples of the role these two mediums now play in shaping our collective and transnational memories of WWII are the semi-autobiographical manga work, Showa by Mizuki Shigeru and the stunning Anime film The Wind Rises by Hayao Miyazaki. Both works place the protagonists in the turbulent Showa era, while concurrently following the lives of men directly involved in Japan’s war effort.

However they are far from the “heroic narratives” that gained favor right after the war. (gluck 49). While the content of heroic narratives differ nation to nation, they all evoke the same sense of “national unity by effacing experiential difference, creating whole nations of partisans, resistant’s, anti-facists – and above all victims (gluck 50). Showa and The Wind Rises escape the constraint of heroic narratives, by interjecting personal memory into vernacular and public memory.
