Gladiator -Emperor of Rome Commodus-

After the famous scene of the movie Gladiator had been going on, Commodus see Maximus going out the arena, with a imprudence actitude.
Instead of kill him or something else, the Emperor of Rome let him live another day, but not without felling insulted of what just happend, because he was humiliated by a ordinary gladiator, a simple slave. At this point of the movie, the Emperor of Rome take his way to see one of his advisers, to talk about what just happened and what to do next. This is a extract from the movie climax

Dragging his cape and his ego on the ground, Commodus travel the corridors of the Coliseum on his way to go out of it. When he was at the streets of Rome, he knew what to do next, go to the house of his adviser, to tell him what just happened.
COMMUDUS: How this can happened? They told me that he was dead! And I let him alive...it is a mistake to kill him with all that crowd that love him, what can happened if the Emperor kill an innocent in front of his eyes with no reason?! But we have to do something, if I give him time, he probably kill him or something worse
ADVISER: Is a mistake to kill him in that way, because is a dishonorable attitude
He make a pause, like he was thinking in something and then he say
ADVISER: But there is one way...what if you ask him for a duel? You can say that you want to fight with the best gladiator of all Rome because is a honor to do it. There you can kill him, is simple
COMMUDUS: But how, he will kill ME
ADVISER: You are the Emperor, you can have some benefit...a silent stab at his back and...
COMMUDUS: And i will kill him easily in the arena, brilliant
After that scene, the plan began, and a final battle started in the arena of the Coliseum, with our hero, the Gladiator Maximus, with the Emperor of Rome Commudus

Rationale - Bloody Sunday -

I wrote a protest letter about the victims of Bloody Sunday in Northern Ireland. It was written with an serious tone and hopes to address the Prime Minister. In my letter,  I tried to present my point of  view  with phrase like “I am writting to express my concern” and “Please do everything in your power”. I tried as well to use a sophisticated level of vocabulary with word choices like “ cherry-pick and riot” finally I tried to use complex structures like one might see in a higher level publication such as The New York Times with sentences like “They were doing a peaceful riot to protest about their human rights” and “give the families of the injured a rest for their pain”. Using these elements I feel I reached my purpose set out in the task. This task addresses the topic “Taking a Stand”  and specially addresses the topic of the abuse of power. I think  a letter of protest helped me to  best express what I learned from the topics we studied in this unit and how I feel about them

Prime Minister David Cameron
London, England

15 May 2014

Dear Mr. Cameron,
I am writting to express my concern about the 'Bloody Sunday' case, based on the incident on 30 January 1972. I know that is considered a closed case, but I think that some things are not solved yet
The families of the injured people of that day, only want justice to the killers that shot without reason his sons, daughter, brothers and sisters. They dont want only a report that takes years to be done, only to confirm the thing that everybody know, they were murder

I am particulary concerned about the way that the British soldier attack those inocent people.They were doing a peaceful riot to protest about their human rights. I know that the killed started throw things to the soldier, but the way they react to that was awful.  The civilians threw them things, but with no porpuse to damage them, they only want to protest. And the soldiers instead of contain and arrest them, they started to shot unarmed civlians, that only want to protest and express their feelings. Actually the report say that they were killed from behind, while they were runing away to save their lifes

In addition, this thing that I told you recently refuses what  Mr. Stephen Pollard said about the report of the judge Lord Saville. The lawyer Pollar, that defend the Bristish Army, said that Mr. Saville 'cherry pick' all the information on the report, explaning that the killed people attack first, producing the self defence of the soldiers, but in fact they only threw things without hurting anyone, and also the way that the soldiers do that self-defence, was not the appropriate

Please do everything in your power to give the families of the injured a rest for their pain, and close the case by the way that all people want to, with a judgment and a punishement to those soldiers.
The consequences of all these is that the people dont feel save with his army, that are suppose to protect them, will be very damaging if you dont do something about this. Please put a stop to these insecurity that feel the people to the soldiers

I look forward to your responce,
Your sincerely,

Diego Pertuzé
