I really liked SIMON I got to meet some other globies and got to express my opinion to the class. I didn’t like all the research because I never used any of it, I only needed it for to know who my allies were. Also it kept me busy the whole time and I really didn’t relate to the issues but I could debate and help the conflict move along. I wished it would go a full week but that would take too long, so I had to settle for a couple of days; I might go to MAMUN next year.
I did great I spoke on all the issues even if they didn’t affect me, and I asked difficult questions when people spoke. I found it much easier to spoke when there was a news flash that really included my country. I tried to get added to the speakers list as much as possible and speak on the behalf of my country and their allies. I got really dressed up and though my allies and my country won, lost and came to a agreement that every country is happy with. Though I was Israel I was one of the better speakers and was one of the better debaters.
Well every night I picked on my clothes also I did all the research that was requested but it didn’t help me at all, the practice ones we did in class really helped. The juniors that were my ally were extremely helpful; they gave me help when I needed it as well as helped me right my speech if I needed but by the end of the three days I was comfortable and felt good about what I was doing. I think that next year there should be some practice ones for the incoming freshmen, a couple of days would be fine so they are ready.
I will research all my allies better as well as were a blazer one day. Also I’m going to try to debate more during caucus and be more neutral and try to think of solutions that help everyone. Also I think that the research amount should be lowered by a substantial amount because I never used it and the grade was really harsh. I will answer the questions better next knowing now there about the scenarios and not just some random questions that have nothing to do with my country.

Israel’s stand
Well considering Israel is an ally with America I think Israel would be for this movement. If the Taliban get a hold of the nukes then there would be a world crisis. The Taliban wouldn’t stop until they have launched all of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons, then would flee in to see the world destroy its self. Israel would send help to Pakistan because they would feel threatened because they are a viable threat to launch a nuclear missile at Israel. On the worlds and my country behalf we will invade Pakistan along with the US. This is because we feel threatened that the Taliban are almost in power. Also we will try to recruit other countries to help the US’s and my cause. Also once balance is restored I think the UN should get the US to go in and get all the nukes so this will never happen again to where the Taliban have a chance to get their hands on nuclear weapons. If Pakistan never had nuclear weapons in the first place then this would never happen. I know countries could fight that I don’t deserve weapons but we don’t have any major terrorist organizations in Israel.
cultural differences
Give me Liberty, give me life, George Washington. A book that gives Brittan’s side on the revolutionary war, a different perspective on the revolutionary war. With time and cultural differences going amok like eating pigeon pie and claiming not winning the battle but a unjust loss. With the main character Nathanial Dunn who is an indebted to a school teacher, but being that his second owner had enlisted him the Lobster back army, so he must make a choice by either leaving the battle and joining the militia or be a spy. I honestly think something will happen to him before he switches army’s. Also I find that the British army would get up early to warm up and get some training in, Nathanial had to wake up and take the punishment of the soldiers but finds a friend in an indebted African slave. Also the British generals were so bull headed that they would kill all their troops just to get a win in the fight. Also that they worked with blacksmiths and German hessians who were the hired mercenaries of the revolution. While the drummer and flutist were always looked down upon, I noticed that Nathanial had it especially bad because he was indebted and had no owner that he could hide behind. Also I noticed while he worked at the blacksmith though the blacksmith was British he tended to be against working for redcoats so he made the iron weaker and took longer to do it so he could slow the British down giving the militia more time to train.
The other major cultural differences were that a white boy was sold because his dad forced him to come to America and he was indebted to pay for the voyage across the pond. Also I found that at most he could do to get out was escape during a time of retreat, which hasn’t happened yet, if Nathanial escapes he would be put to death.
