In Tim Hetherington's documentary, Restrepo, Tim doesn't particularly take a stance on war. Tim says that his film wasn't intended to be political; however, everything that humans do on a day-to-day basis is political. The meaning of "Everything we do is political" is a justifiable statement in the world we live in today. The world we live in today is full of judging and critiquing every moment of each and everyday. Tim's meaning in this statement is justifiable and 100% correct. Everything that a person does and says will be critiqued by every person that interacts with them. This person isn't intending for everyone to judge them and wonder about them, it is just basic human instinct. Everything someone wears, says, does, and believes is considered political whether it is intentional or not. Tim Hetherington does not intend to make this a political film about his stance on war; however, Tim understands that this will be considered political by some of his audience.
Tim Hetherington asserts a few different messages through the portrayal of his film Restrepo. Tim does however, have one key message that he portrays throughout the novel. Tim's central message in Restrepo is to effectively show how a soldier lives and their experiences while they are on deployment in hostile territory. Tim emphasis on the fact that his does not intend to portray any political aspects in this novel, even if his audiences political views on war are effected. This film is political however in the fact that it can effect the stance the audience currently has on war. Tim does not intentionally do it by taking a particular stance however he indirectly supports it by showing and promoting a film about war. This impacts the audiences views regardless of it is the negative or positive view on war by the audience. Tim did not intend for this film to be political; however, I believe he would have wanted this to negatively promote war.

An "Ordinary" Keyboard
From a glance you would assume that this is just a dull, boring, and unattractive keyboard. However, this is not just a dull, boring, and unattractive keyboard. This keyboard provides many unique functions that allow for it to complete many different tasks when paired with a computer operation system. This is in fact a Dell QWERTY keyboard. This keyboard is black with white lettering's similar to that of chalkboard. This Keyboard is your hand. This keyboard writes, creates, and invents different pieces of work while working through the "brain" of the computer operating system. A keyboard has more accessories than a hand, a keyboard has multiple extensions or "fingers" that can do work for it. A keyboard comes with 104 "fingers" which is a greater than that of a human hand. This means that a keyboard could have more uses than an ordinary human hand. This keyboard also has the unique feature similar to the human middle finger in then space bar. The space bar is the largest key on all keyboards, Dell or not. The space bar allows for to control to put a break or pause into anything that they are typing. This unique feature is similar to putting a breath in between each word that a human speaks. The human hand cannot apply such a pause or break similar to that of the space bar.
