"Hotel Rwanda" is mainly about 2 group, Tutsi and Hutu's conflict. In this movie, Paul ( Main Character) is a Hutu, he is trying to save his family, because they are Tutsi. The reason Hutu kills Tutsi is they think Tutsi is cockroach, and it bothers them a lot. The conflict between Hutu and Tutsi shows how anger Huhu were.
Hutu
The Hutu are the largest of the three ethnic groups in Burundi and Rwanda, they have 84% of people in Rwanda, and 85% of people in Burundi. That's not a small amount, even they have this kind of huge group. They still were not respected from upper-class Tutsi. In Hotel Rwanda, they even got killed by Tutsi.

Peter's presentation
His presentation inspire me, and also make me easily know a lot of Africa's information, also make me feel very fresh about knowing these tribes. Although, you can look at his portfolio, it's wonderful, there are also a lot of amazing photos, but it's not very good for children. In his presentation, he use a humor way to talk. I think he is the best presenter.
