The END:

So today was our last day of class in SSK1212.. If I have to write a summary of this semester, I would say that this SSK was harder then the previous one. We had complicated things to do, since MLA is very complex and every punctuation counts.. Looking for information for my research felt like a duty not a pleasure.. I liked reading the articles on the internet. EBSCO was very useful, and other religious websites too. The best part of this project was making the powerpoint, even though the presentation didn't go so well! However, the worst thing was the referencing, even though this class is all about referencing!! I didn't know what I was expected to do in the blog, but I did what I think was right..

I strongly believe that the Israeli-Palestinian war can end if both sides took the time to look at their similarities, and consider themselves as brothers, and put the fear that accumulated through the years aside, and make a step for making peace for our present world, and for the coming generations. It is amazing how these two religions are similar, but people tend to care about the differences and focus only on that, which is the opposite thing to do if you really want peace!

PEACE!
