I have always found it interesting to hear about peoples lives as they were many years ago, just ordinary people. My grandmother used to tell me stories of the ‘olden days’ when i was little, I just loved to listen to her.

Comment on Waltzing With Bashir by William https://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/bernstein08/2008/11/13/waltzing-with-bashir/comment-page-1/#comment-324 Sun, 08 Mar 2009 21:36:16 +0000 http://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/bernstein08/?p=494#comment-324 The following comment from the website listed, perplexed me. Seems Ari Folman ducked this question whether the Israeli military had contact with the ‘Christian’ group prior to carrying out the massacre? Moment of truth ‘Waltzing’ did not include an important item. Puzzling!
Seems that this fact had been established. The Paleastinians had attempted to have Sharon brought before the World Court – but court would not hear the case.

Am I missing something?

“What are your feelings about the Sabra and Shatila massacre today?
The same as I’ve always felt: it’s the worst thing that humankind can do to each other. One thing for sure is that the Christian Phalangist militiamen were fully responsible for the massacre. The Israeli soldiers had nothing to do with it. As for the Israeli government, only they know the extent of their responsibility. Only they know if they were informed or not in advance about the oncoming violent revenge.”

Comment on My First Street Photography Project by Vince https://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/bernstein08/2008/12/15/my-first-street-photography-project/comment-page-1/#comment-314 Mon, 29 Dec 2008 10:50:53 +0000 http://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/bernstein08/?p=874#comment-314 I think this project shows your true potential and creativity. I love how you used this project to show how proud you are of your Russian heritage. While you were explaining it in class, i couldn’t help but sit in wonder and amazement at this professionally done project. I also like how you took the picture of the building looking up as if it was 1,000 stories tall. Another excellently done project Yuriy Minchuk!

I think it is safe to say that you aren’t the only one who was disappointed with this performance.

Comment on The Man, The Myth, The Legend: My Father by Keyana https://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/bernstein08/2008/12/16/the-man-the-myth-the-legend-my-father/comment-page-1/#comment-311 Mon, 29 Dec 2008 07:56:29 +0000 http://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/bernstein08/?p=1101#comment-311 Vince,

This was very touching. It’s obvious that your father has made many sacrifices for his family and that’s commendable. My favorite line is your closing statement, “When all my friends would talk about Superman and Batman as their heroes, I would talk about my hero, my father,” it really summarizes your father’s qualities and what he means to you.

Comment on Coping Above and Below by Keyana https://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/bernstein08/2008/12/12/coping-above-and-below/comment-page-1/#comment-309 Mon, 29 Dec 2008 07:52:25 +0000 http://eportfolios.macaulay.cuny.edu/bernstein08/?p=858#comment-309 Anna,
My favorite image in your project was the one with the man holding the sign titled “NYU Tuition Fund.” It connected with me in both an artistic sense, and was also very funny. I also had a hard time coming up with a theme, but I like what you ended up choosing. It was something that I realized I didn’t pay much attention to, I would most likely ignore most of people similar to the ones in your collage if I saw them on the street, so thank you for bringing into light their hardwork and the things that we take for granted.
