T.C.K's: Song analysis.

Home

Another summer day 
Has come and gone away 
In Paris and Rome 
But I wanna go home 
Mmmmmmmm 

Maybe surrounded by 
A million people I 
Still feel all alone 
I just wanna go home 
Oh I miss you, you know 

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you 
Each one a line or two 
“I’m fine baby, how are you?” 
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough 
My words were cold and flat 
And you deserve more than that 

Another aeroplane 
Another sunny place 
I’m lucky I know 
But I wanna go home 
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home 

Let me go home 
I’m just too far from where you are 
I wanna come home 

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life 
It’s like I just stepped outside 
When everything was going right 
And I know just why you could not 
Come along with me 
But this was not your dream 
But you always believed in me 

Another winter day has come 
And gone away 
And even Paris and Rome 
And I wanna go home 
Let me go home 

And I’m surrounded by 
A million people I 
Still feel alone 
Oh, let me go home 
Oh, I miss you, you know 

Let me go home 
I’ve had my run 
Baby, I’m done 
I gotta go home 
Let me go home 
It will all be allright 
I’ll be home tonight 
I’m coming back home

This song shows, under my point of view, what is to be a 

third culture kid. this, because it mentions traveling through 

many places and cities, and taking many planes. in other 

words, it shows us a situation of constant journey. The lyrics 

of the song shows us how someone who is somewhere 

away from home doesn't feel like local, but he feels like a 

foreigner. This is just the way many thisrd culture kids feel, 

because they live in many countries that are not his home.

Punk for a month: Activity!


1-The way someone looks like tells us something about that person, what he likes, whathe is aiming to, etc. I said "something" because in many times, a person doesn't wears what he actually likes, but what the others use. We can still judge people based on how they look like, for our protection. For example, when we see someone suspicious walking next to us during nigh time.

2- She was expecting them to reject her. In some way, we might even think she wanted her friends to leave her alone. This, because she arrives to the table with an agressive attitude, and she never explains why she did what she did. Maybe she should have told her friend the reasons that pushed her into the decision she took, and she should have also asked her friends for comprehension, instead of walking away without saying anything about her change.

3-I can imagine that when she changes to the what she was in the past and stop being a punk, those new friends she made are going to reject Julie, just the way her old friends did when she turned punk. 

4-I think she changes interiorly. We can see she is now more self-confident, and she feels that now she is important to others. Before turning punk, she used to think she wasn't nobody in society, but after she turned punk, she feels that everyone knows who she is, and that she is now important, that she is now someone, as she said. This shows us that changing something as simple as the way you dress actually changes the way you are. Under my point of view, this is because you are changing into what you like, into what you really like, who you really are.

Personal response: Surrogacy in India


“The Akanksha clinic is at the forefront of India’s booming trade in so-called reproductive tourism — foreigners coming to the country for infertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization. The clinic’s main draw, however, is its success using local women to have foreigners’ babies. Surrogacy costs about $12,000 in India, including all medical expenses and the surrogate’s fee. In the U.S., the same procedure can cost up to $70,000.”


We have seen how technology and science, all around the world, have improved during the past years, and we can clearly see how it keeps moving forward into things we probably weren't able to even imagine just a few years ago. But, what do I mean when I say sience and technology is moving forwrd? Sience is giving us now solutions to problems that have been around mankind since the beginning, such as deseases, food issues, or other problems that a person might need to solve during a normal day. Now, what we see in this  quote is the case of surrogancy in india, i mean, women who "borrow" their body to fertilize and crate a baby. This child will be given to couples that can't have children because of natural conditions. Under my point of view, this is simply wrong. Mainly because you turn women into a useful "thing" (eventhough they are volunteers).  Those women no longer have children for their one,  instead they are being used to create life and then give it to someone else. i believe this is completely wrong and unethical. I would also like to add that, because this is a paid process, surrogacy mothers are actually selling their bodies, and their babies, that, eventhough they come from an unknown father, those cildren are still their sons.
