In the story of "When Rain Clouds Gather"Makhaya has escaped from his old country to go to Botswana. Once he finds himself inside of the Botswana borders, he is hiding as a refugee inside of Dinorego's house. When Dinorego first met Makhaya, he watches out for Makhaya and introduced him to his daughter, Maria, and his good friend Gilbert. Gilbert has big plans for Golema Mmidi, plans to modernize the country and open the people's eyes to new things and other stuff that he discovers. He needs to change the way that the people of the country see things. If all Golema plans get discover the women would be able to speak out for theme selves, and the brutal actions towards them would be stopped. The men would be able to stay home with their family and not have to travel around with cattle and children will be able to stay home and go to school. Chief Matenge highly dislikes Dinorego and Gilbert. He feels that they are trying to take over when really they are only trying to help him. The Chief only wants to stay in power and rule over all of the land which can't be done because of his enemy Chief Sekoto which is his brother.This book is kinda good, meanwhile I think something's going to happen between Paulina and Makhaya.

Handguns

Why do people carry handguns? Some people carry guns because people think their tough. Guns ruin everything and everyone. You get ten to thirty for bringing a gun to school. If you shot somebody you get life depending on the situation. The only people that should have guns is police officers but sometimes I think they shouldn't have them either. Some people think that people who carry guns are bad people because they carry them.
But I thing that you CAN'T judge people who carry guns unless you know their situations, and why they carry that gun. I know people who carry guns for protections because of the neighborhood that they live in. But they never use it just got it for protection because of the crazy people in their neighborhood.

A Drop of Milk

1.)The questions that I have for this myth is how does stone create iron and iron create fire?

2.) The World was created by a drop of milk.

4.) The each defeat each other in a series of pattern, like right behind each other.

5.) Doondari return as Gueno to defeat death because he's powerful than death.

6.) If man hadn't been happy/proud, then everything probably would have been dull and nothing good would come from man.

7.) If man had not been proud then the world would be dead nothing would get done and women would have more work to do.

8.)

9.) I think it explains death a little bit but I think it could explain death a little bit more because it was hard for me to understand I also think it needs to get more in dept with it.
