"Favorite Place"

In a world filled with the most beautiful and intriguing states, countries, and continents it is almost impossible to choose a favorite place. Nevertheless, if I have to choose a favorite place to visit it would be Chad Africa, mainly because my sister-in-law is from Chad. Over the years, her striking depiction of her country left, in me, a strong desire to visit. Going to visit Chad  would be a dream come true, and being able to visit a place where I would not have to be concerned about my safety is a huge perk. Not to mention, being able to authentically experience the culture and people without reserve.

One shocking fact I learned is that tourism isn't huge in Chad. The reason being is that the greater part of the urban communities there are undeveloped. I can only speculate that it would be more beneficial for travelers to really do their research or try to connect with someone who use to or still resides there. I can say that listening to my sister-in-law speak about her people, Chadians are respectful, humble, proud, and intelligent people. Despite the poverty and undeveloped cities, Chad is a beautiful and remarkable country to visit. Hopefully by 2020, my dream of visiting Chad will be reality. 

If you looking for a luxury vacation with all-inclusive resorts and a plethora of fun attractions, Chad might be the destination for you. However, if you want to discover uncharted territory and create your own African adventure, Chad is the place for you.

    Hi Tiffany, it is amazing that you would love to visit Chad despite it not being very touristy. Many people seem to limit themselves when exploring the world because the place may not be as developed or have the same resources, but that mentality takes away from seeing amazing places. I have not visited Africa and I would love to travel to the country as well, mostly to see the beautiful wild animals that they have and be able to go on safaris. It is also great to learn about different cultures and languages, and see how people live throughout the world. Hopefully you do get to visit Chad and have a wonderful experience.

    Hello Tiffany!
    I must say, Chad is quite an interesting choice for a favorite place but I do like that your sister-in-law's description of the place got you really interested in the country! Sometimes, we shouldn't always go to the big touristy locations or well known cliched locations but take time to visit some lesser known areas as you may be able to find a hidden gem in there somewhere! Africa, except for probably Egypt, may not be my cup of tea but as they say, to each their own. There is always something for everyone and regardless, I do hope that your dream of visiting Chad can come true!

    Hey Tiffany! Nice description on your favorite place! I hope you eventually get to visit Chad. I've never heard of it until I read your post. That would be a great place to experience and tour. Any place that has different cultures than your own sounds interesting. I really hope you get to live that dream and visit someday. Good luck Tiffany! I look forward to reading your other work.

Closed Reading Analysis W9: My Tongue begs for the Power of Speech

“My tongue begs for the power of speech that is Your gift to us; for silence gets its style of representation from Your gift to us. The melancholic weeping of those who live with disappointment is Your gift to us." This piece stood out to me because upon reading the author’s history, I discovered that none of his seven children lived beyond fifteen months, not to mention that his wife’s nephew who he adopted as his son died, along with his wife (587). In addition, Ghalib fell in love again with a low-caste Hindu courtesan, who also died at a young age, whose loss he mourned publicly (588). These types of tragedies are unbearable without some type of hope in a higher explanation. Therefore, I believe the dialect in the poem appears to a greater degree a supplication than a sonnet. In numerous religions there is a certain reverence one has when addressing God. The author is by all accounts requesting permission to speak freely to God concerning the gut wrenching pain he is experien...

Week 3, Analysis, Tartuffe

A Thin Line Between Reason and Wisdom At first glance you can analyze Tartuffee as a condemnation on religion, but I found it to be remarkably inverse. The contention is not with religion, but with hypocrisy and reason rooted in freethinking. In the tale of Tartuffe, Moliere accentuates the importance of heeding to wisdom. We see, Cleante, the brother in law of Orgon and the King are viewed as the voice of wisdom. While, the other characters, could be the voice of reason. Although wisdom and reason are similarly characterized, they are distinctive in meaning.  British philosopher Nicholas Maxwell has called wisdom "the capacity to realize what is of value in life for oneself and others. ” Moliere acquaints us with a man’s inability to sway from his own reasoning, only to end up encountering the ultimate betrayal before recognizing the true value of wisdom. Orgon was incapable of seeing the importance of family, after returning home from being absent for two days, he inqui...

Reading Notes W16: Recitatif, Part A

Recitatif Roberta and Twyla were two different girls & races from the same world. The only difference is that Twyla was in the foster care system because her mother like to party, however Roberta was in the foster care system because her mom was ill. They were the same age, bullied by the older girls, and both had problems learning. The interaction between Roberta and Twyla mother is interesting because the author without mentioning, alludes the issue of race but leaves it to the reader. Roberta’s mother could have walked away because she did not approve of the way Twyla mother dressed. Maggie symbolizes the girls’ mothers. Maggie could not communicate what she was feeling. She could not express the pain and cruelty she was experiencing at the hands of the gar girls. Likewise, the author compares Mary dancing and Roberta’s mother illness to Maggie. They could not verbally communicate what they were experiencing, both dance and sickness is silent. Both ladies were dealin...
