I’ll start off by saying I’m glad I drank some coffee before class today; otherwise I would have been asleep within the first five minutes. It was rather frustrating having to bob and weave my head to be able to read the subtitles through the heads of the crowd, and I’m still trying to find the correlation between the documentary and our history class. Trying to have a positive outlook on this, I’ll say that watching a camel give birth to a calf was very interesting and at the same time, nothing I’d want to see again. Other than the birth of the baby calf, the only other thing I found to be particularly interesting was when they had the violin player come to perform some sort of ritual to allow the baby calf to feed from its mother. I thought these were things that were only told in stories and not actual remedies for such altercations in raising livestock. I also agreed with the grandpas decision on not getting a television because of it is a big waste of time, however I feel that these people are underprivileged not having all of the royalties that we now have today. I mean they rode camels across desert land to pick up six batteries for a radio and get a violinist, that’s got to suck!
