Re: "An American In Uganda"

1. What different points of view do we see in this story? 

At first we have the vision of a man that has to work hardly to survive, that sacrifices his energy and time to improve his family well-being, a humble, tolerant and respectful man. Then we find an educated man, with a very individualistic way to proceed but, at the end, he shows compassion and humanity. 

2. Explain the reasons behind the miscommunication that occurred between these two men. 

These two men grew up in different contexts, with a different system of values, they have different priorities, and so forth. Maybe they share the neighborhood but they barely know each other, here is where the communication problem begins. Most of the time people ignores the circumstances that define the others life, so, they never will be able to coexist unless they try to understand multiculturalism.      

Let me introduce myself...

Fact: Sorry, this won't be an interesting story. My complete name is Geraldine Acevedo Ruíz (Yep, I've no middle name) I was born 19 years ago, a beautiful evening of September, just right here, in Barranquilla. I grew up with my grannie, she taught me how to read and write and she took care of me until I was 10. I've got a small family, no brothers or cousins, mama is a doctor and papa a bussiness man. When I was younger I dreamt about to become a writter, but then the music caught my attention. I play guitar since I was 8, and now it's all I do.

Now I´m working hard with music, I'm trying to learn every little secret about it. Someday, I´ll work creating music for cartoons because, well, I love cartoons. I've spent a lot of my lifetime watching animated series and  short films. 

I deeply hate sports, but I try to keep myself healthy with a complete diet. When I've got time I do photography, (this is my Flickr adress: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pavlovpv/) It's always a good excuse to go outside. Guess that's all, thanks for reading.
