The movie Hotel Rwanda is an extraordinary movie because it talks about genocide in Rwanda. This movie is seen through the eyes of a family. They are split apart because of the chaos in Rwanda. This chaos is about two tribes that are at war with each other and both want to destroy each other. The main character Don Cheadle, tries to save his family and others from the soldiers that are causing disorder. The actor Don Cheadle has also done a lot for the people of Darfur by trying to make aware of the events that are occurring. The purpose of picking this movie is to show the similarities of the genocide in Rwanda with the genocide in Darfur. This also give the audience and look at the emotional toal it has on the families living through this horrific event. I enjoyed looking at this movie because it truly touched me and I think this would be great to watch to understand what is happening in Darfur.

The song “War Child” by Emmanuel Jal is a great song to represent the feelings and beliefs of a person who has been in a war. Emmanuel Jal was a war child at one point in his life. He talks about the struggles and issues he had to deal with as a child. This song expresses ethos and pathos through the lyrics of the song. When hearing this song, the audience can tell the pain and suffering he went through as a child and also what he feels should happen. He was a war child in the Sudanese War and now he is telling his story through his music. He is a survivor and hopes to change the world with his music and bring peace.

I believe that the image I chose to use for one of my mode is simple and a strong statement. I think that the situation in Darfur is horrible and should be made more aware of than what it is now. This image is telling people to not just stand by and not help, but to take a stand and make aware of the genocide. The lives of the people of Darfur are crucial and people around the world should take notice to it. I like this image because it goes straight to the point and catches the attention of the reader. There are also facts on this image that invoke the element s of ethos, pathos and logos.

The book Not on Our Watch: The Mission to End Genocide in Darfur and Beyond, is a great book for people to read because it talks about what is happening in Darfur and other crucial areas around the world. Don Cheadle, an actor and activist, took part in writing this book to make aware of the issues and events that are occurring in Darfur. This book is about the actions anyone can take to help make aware of the genocide or raise funds or write letters. Don Cheadle also talks about other places in the world that has turmoil and needs attention so that people can get help. This is a great book for those who are conscious of this chaos and wants to help the cause.
