Translation:Music

CH.16 ) Songs and music of the Ynga and the rest of the men of this kingdom and the yndios named haravi(song of love) and uanca(song), pingollo(flute), quena quena(Indian dance) in the general language of quichiua, aymara. Says this:

"Song of love, is it unfortunate,queen, that separates us? Is it because you my little blue flower, my sour flower? In my head, in the center of my heart I will take you everywhere. Like a water mirror you are an illusion. Like water mirror you are a lie. Who are you? Will I rest with my love? It is your untruthful mother that separates us from death and it is your father that is the enemy that causes us poorness. Maybe, Queen, thats how God made it, Oh mighty man. We will both meet and that God will unite us! When I remember your happy eyes, I loose all senses. When I remember those flirting eyes, I get sick. It's the truth, Inka, It's the truth, sir! Of that committee who induces crying, do you come with your flower heart? Crying for rivers and towns Encima de Kantur, in the pass of Saphi I wait for you. My love Siqulla."

I choose this specific song because it sounds like a tragic love story and i always enjoy a love story. I understood it like a low class man and a high class person trying to be together but it is bad in society and their parents separating them .

The Things They Carried

In The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien the chapter of “Sweetheartof the Song Tra Bong, “it tells about a young woman named Mary Anne. She goesinto the battlegrounds with Mark Fossie as a type of nurse to heal the injuredsoldiers. Maybe too young just coming out of high school but they accepted herto see those awful things with no experience. In the beginning of this chapterit describes Mary Anne as the perfect “woman” to the soldier’s eyes. She hasthe nice body, perky attitude and curiosity of a five year old. That to themwas the perfect girl that anyone could have. What they didn’t realize was thatshe wasn’t a fully grown woman she was just a young girl exploring not knowingeverything that surrounds her.

The servicemen at this point do not know what they really want. They are out in nowhere with all men and as soon as they see a woman that is quite interesting they think that she is perfect. In reality, she is bearly learning just like them. She is a little cub trying to be a big bear. Since they are stuck in a place where they don't even know they don't see the outside world and what the world can offer them beyond of high school and what they were doing before. After all, they came in after high school just like Mary Anne. Mary Anne is seen as a woman in this chapter but she only conveys one type of person that is barely finding herself.

What describes a real woman is someone who has faced many obstacles in life and has obtained life lessons from those exact things. They come up from the bad things being stronger then ever. Obstacles like schooling and hard decisions. Mary Anne in a way is a controversy of that ideal. She just gives a pretty face and says please a few times and she gets what she wants from anyone in the group. The satisfaction of working for what you want and the idea that you know that you worked hard has never gone through her because she is spoiled there. This just makes people think that they are people who just don't work hard.

Another ideal that Mary Anne portrays is that woman are always perky and social. A woman has her own personality and some might be different then each other. Some woman might be quiet and a thinker instead of those who speak their minds and explore everything they see. Like any other person they differ from other in a group. They might find someone similar but never someone who is exactly the same as the other person.
