English essay: Prejudice

English story – Prejudice!

Written by: Tamara Thompson

SØS 15/9/2010

I am a Kurdish girl from the east of Turkey from a town called Van, which is not far from Iraq and Iran. My parents and grandparents grew up in this area with a mixture of Turkish, Irani and Iraqi people.

I have been used to growing up listening to the Turkish language at school and Kurdish at home with my parents. It can get very confusing hearing so many languages.

When I was about 8 years old my parents moved to a faraway country called Denmark. I had no idea where it was, they just told me that it was cold and no-one could speak the two languages that I had learnt. I was very young, so I didn’t think that much about it. But it was so hard saying goodbye to my friends and family, all the people I loved and always had known, I had to say goodbye too and I had no idea when I got to see them again. I cried a lot as we said farewell!

But it was even worse when I came to Denmark, when I really started to miss them. I cried day and night, and it was really hard for me to settle in.  We lived in a town called Ishøj, where lots of foreigners lived. So there were a lot of different and strange languages. I actually thought a lot about, why there weren’t that many Danes living there, because it was not far from the beach, clean and it had everything that a town needed. I asked my parents how come they weren’t that much Danes in our town, they just said that I was too little to understand. I didn’t think more about that.

I started school in another town, I didn’t know why, but my parents said that it was because it had a good school. My parents were very anxious about me getting an education, it was very weird because they never really said anything about that, when we lived in Van.

They wanted me to learn Danish as soon as possible. It was very hard. I had to listen to tapes all the time, and I tried to speak it in school. There were only Danish kids in my school. My parents could not speak or understand the language and we did not have that much money, so they could not afford for me to go to an evening class, so I could learn Danish quicker. So it took a lot of time to learn it.

The Danish kids weren’t that kind to me, and I didn’t understand why? They didn’t really want me to fall into place in their society. I didn’t really make any friends.

As I got older my parents had to tell me what all these weird things were about. I was a normal kid like them, just with a different skin and hair colour. Why didn’t they like me?

They told me what prejudice was and that it was also very hard for them to make friends with neighbours and at work. It was like people were afraid of us, they didn’t smile at us when we walked on the street, like they did to all the other Danes.

My family had a very hard time. We all agreed that it was probably best to move me to the school that was in Ishøj, where there are a lot more foreigners. Now I am very happy and I have a lot of great friends from my school. They are all from a lot of different countries. They have had the same experience as me with Danes, they are not that kind to us. But I have learnt to ignore it. Even though it is very hard!

·        My name is Tamara Thompson. I am 16 years old and my birthday is on 10^th June. I have a twin brother and an older sister, she is 20 years old. My father is English and my mother Danish, so I am dual nationality and have family in England. I live with my mother, father, brother and sister in a house in Jyllinge, which is a small fishing village on the banks of Roskilde fjord, about 15km north of Roskilde. I have lived all my life in Jyllinge, and find it a boring town. I love spending time with my family and friends I also love dancing and listening to music. In 2008 we bought a house on a small island off the coast of west Africa called La Gomera, which is Spanish and one of the Canary islands.  We have spent a lot of time on La Gomera throughout my childhood. We all love travelling and have visited many different countries such as Canada, Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Tobago, Mauritius and Greece.

·        It is very important to learn English because it’s a language, that is used worldwide, and nearly everybody you meet can speak a little English. English is the number one business language in the world so if you want to work outside Denmark then English is essential.  

·        I love speaking English and I also like doing group work with the others in my class.

Gruppe arbejde: "Danmark har overhalet USA i racisme"

The text is about a Danish man called Jacob Holdt who has researched extensively into racism. 

Jacob has made several exhibits about racism with many pictures. 

"Wake up call"

In 1971, in San Fransisco,he was in a ghetto, and got threathened by two guys holding a gun to his stomach. They wanted to rob him. Thats where, as he says himself, his eyes opened to racism. He thought that if he didn't do anything about it, he would turn into a racist, due of that experience. 

Jacob has no job, and sees himself as a hobo, and he earns his money as a blood donor. 

What Jacob mainly has researched, is about the fact that Danes are worse than the Americans,  when it comes to racism. 

Questions:

1) According to Jacob the people who became members of the Ku Klux Klan, were people who hungered for love and never received it. We don't think that everbody that became a member of the KKK feels the same way, but some of them probably do. 

2)  He became a member of the KKK, because the clanleaders wife thought he should. We also think, that he did it for fun because we doubt he would participate in the meetings. 

3) We think that the headline is perfect. Because it's short and tells shortly what the article is about. 

4) We think that racism is a very big problem in Denmark! Because many people are racist, without even having a reason to be racist. Also many children thinks the same as their parents, so if they are racist, their children will probably become racist too.  Also in the news you always here about episodes, were immigrants has done something criminal, but you never hear if it's a Danish person. So they make them look much worse than they actually  are.

After you, My Dear Alphonse

After you, My Dear Alphonse:

1)

2) The boys were playing, After you, My Dear Alphonse.

3) It sounds like a very normal family, he has a mother and a father and a sister. The father is working at a factory and his mum doesn’t work. She takes care of him and his sister.

4) Because he is black, she assumes that they are very poor and she feels bad and offers a lot of things to them, but his family is just like their family, normal. They don’t need anything.

5) She thinks that they are poor, and don’t have anything so she offers clothes to them. She thinks that it is rude that he says no.

But they have clothes and everything that they need.

6) – She assumes that he is very hungry, because she thinks that he doesn’t get any food.

     - She also assumes that he and his family haven’t got any clothes, that is why she offers him clothes.

- She assumes that he has a lot of sisters and brothers, because often poor people get a lot of children, so they can work and make money to the family.

7) It is because she thinks that they are poor, so she thinks that it is rude that he says no thanks to clothes and stuff, because she thinks that they need it.

8) She is not a racist, but she is very prejudice just because he is black it does not mean that he is poor.
