People think matatu drivers are dangerous, and that they are the main reason for all the problems they have on the streets and thats why they were treated like criminals with the BBC

2. Do Barranquilleros have the same negative opinion of mototaxistas as the Kenyans have of matatu drivers?

Indeed, they have similars reactions on his arounds, probably because the mototaxistas as the matatu drivers are un rush to earn the more money they can with the less time espended, and thats why the broke a lot of rules in the streets to fill his goal.

Carnaval

Well, actually there is not a favorite carnaval moment for me, but a favourite carnival time.
I mean that today the carnival is full of useless behaves because of the people, the carnival happens because of the wish of make Barranquilla to remember his culture, but people don't understand this, and they think carnival is made for them to do whatever they want.
Then what i really like of the carnival is that it show us the cuture where our ancient parents live, then the favourite moment would be when the people can understand this menssage and enjoy what the real purpose of the carnival is.

1. What different points of view do we see in this story? 

We can see two radicals differents points of view, one is the way the black man see the world, or at least the way he see his life, and the other one is the white man and how he is indifferent  watching the black man's life.
The white man see tha black man like someone that was born to do that kind of works, and he's even grateful for not to do the works that the black man does, meanwhile the black man, feel fear of the tomorrow, and try to talk about his problems with the white man until he realized that is hopeless to expect that the two could understad the other one.


2. Explain the reasons behind the miscommunication that occurred between these two men.

The daily life of both, is so different that is very difficult for them to understand each other point of view.
Then they could explain his ideas but none of them will reach the other, and that's because the white man feel he's so superior that the black man has the duty to obey him in what he likes, and nothing of what the black man says will change that fact, and so, the black man feel so fear that he can't oppose, and end accepting what the white man says, but without understand the situation.
