There will be no paradise

Kapuscinski is really risky. He starts talking about how he was pulled on a car, and did not not anyone or where he was going. His first trip was to Cyprus. He got to a place that was full of tents and of people with poverty and misery because of the war. Some people got him and put him on a platform telling him to make a speach to the thousands of people that were there. If I would of been him I would be really nervous and would have no idea of what to say to these people so things would sound right. Im my opinion he did a erally good job. He started saying a lot of things that where really from his heart and what he thought and also he said '' When will you recover your homes?.... I did not come here to promise anything.''(pg208) I think this is a really honest way to talk things, because being in the situation he was he could easily mess up and tell things that werent right, but he said the truth and was honest to these people. He starts talking to some women that invited him to their tent and they start talking about their lives which I thinks they have been through really difficult situations and ended living as they are living for the war which should not involve them. There were somethings that they told him and happend that impressed me. This would be the way that women are still being controlled by men and in a ''machismo'' that when he went into some of the womens tents they would not sit until he told them too. The other thing would be when these women started talking to him about them and told them '' At dusk the beautiful girls come out for their walk.... they cannot walk alone... they cannot look around because that is bad taste''(pg.212) I think its incredible the way women have been controlled by men and they thoughts for such a long time.Later he start talking about the war ''Nicosia, night ten minutes after midnight.... Three shots from the Turkish side next from the greeks ten and a cannon from the greeks... and a heavier from the Turks...''(pg.213) A really interesting thing he says is '' What a waste of human energy, I think, an abasement of dignity. The peasants on the outskirts of Lima an Bogota.... a billion people capable of work with nothing or almost nothing fo the duration of their lives. ''(206) I like what he says because he makes a point that there are a lot of people willing to work but because of the poverty and wars and situations in these countries energy of these people is wasted, and i like him mentioning Bogota. He is really brave to live everything he is living and having the guts to be in such dangerous places. I think its incredible the way that people get ''kicked out of their homes for a war that has nothing to do with them and they take their kids, kill their hysbands of violate their daughters. War has always been terrible and really impacting. A lot of people die and lose their jobs and the way they live so they end in tents like these people.
