At the beginning of the song, I felt like I was in a rainy forest, and it was all scary.Then, I imagined the animals from the movie "The Jungle Book" like Baloo and Sherkan(a bear and a tiger)cheering everything up. Afterwards with the organ,I felt in a party of a long time ago, say the 1900's, with all the classical music and people balldancing and having a good time, like in the party in the ovie "Terror Tower".




The song made me feel Irish, like dancing with all the leprachauns and jumping, wearing those skirts, and then it became like more techno-like, but still Irish, like in a discoteca in Ireland. Also the song made me feel like happy and joyfull, and I imagined the movie "Snow White", where she was dancing with the little dwarfs in a circle, and the little animals of the forest where joining them, all joyfull. I also thought of the movie "Shrek" because there is a part that everybody is dancing, celebrating the marriage of Shrek and Fiona. The song made me feel like I was a pirate in the high seas, and I were fishing the biggest fish, and I caught it, so we were celebrating it by eating the large fish and drinking a very salty coke and goofing around with my friends.In some parts I felt as if I were in a ballet class with Suad, and she was yelling to the teacher that she hates ballet because she thinks it is stupid. The song reminded me of a song that I found my little sister dancing one day from a movie. It also reminds me of a Nancy Drew game I was playing that was about a ranch in Texas.





I felt as if I were in an Indian ritual or listening to and Indian song. I can also imagine myself in Texas with someone belching while singing, like he drank a lot of beer and was singing drunk. Then I imaginedmy uncle wearing women's clothing and singing like a girl.

Everybody has an opinion about what should be done to reduce global warming effectively. My opinion is that the first thing we should start doing is to reduce the gases emitted by cars and other automobiles, that could happen by people using less cars, less often, or cars could be made with solar energy. Here in Cartagena, there are people who care a lot about what is happening in our planet. Other people couldn’t care less. When I ask someone around here what they think should be done about global warming, they don’t even know what to say, because they are not interested in the subject, but they should.

People all around the world are talking about global warming and many people are doing something about it. By walking, carpooling, using less energy, and doing many more things, people are showing that they care about their environment. In the other hand, some people continue the process that is causing global warming and make it worse, like in some places they continue polluting and exceeding too much. In the United States, they constantly show people that walk to their jobs, walk to school, they invent solar energy powered things to save electricity, and do other things just for the environment. We should all be like those people, because I have been learning that people are not like that, and just because they think it won’t affect them, it will. People mainly think that global warming won’t affect them because in the news they are always saying that in a long period of time it will happen strongly, but the truth is, it has, and it is happening strongly right now, it just might happen that they didn’t know, because they do not care what they have caused to the environment all along.

When we are in family reunions, or simple talking in dinner, we always bring up subjects like school, sports, friends, and things like that. When I try to bring up the subject of the environment, my family gets really into the conversation, and we talk a lot, often dispute about what is happening. In other families however, they don’t even talk about it, not even a little bit, as if they weren’t concerned, and I don’t think that is the right way to be acting, because we should all be concerned about our world, and what we have done to it.

In an article I read called NASA scientist rips out Bush on global warming, there was a small part of it that came to my attention, and it was the following:
“He certainly is not in denial of the existence of climate change problems,” Hansen said.
What was interesting to me about this article was that in the rest of the article, and as you can see in the title, it said that Bush wasn’t as experienced and concerned in the subject as he should be, so people were criticizing him for that.

As this is the last research report I decided not to research so much, but to write what I was seeing all along in people and global warming and people. And this is how I am concluding my report, and I hope you have liked my recent posts about global warming, because I really enjoyed doing them, because I learned a lot of things that I didn’t know before.
