Hernan

Do you know that the title “big fish” is a noun used to describe a person who tells jokes or a person who tells many stories, and some of these are not true? Tim Burton, the movie director, I think, was very wise to change some scenes of the book in the movie for the following reasons; first, he knew that this book had a lot of popularity and if he made the exactly as the book says, the movie was not going to be a hit; second, he wanted to attract more people by adding something new. In addition the director saw it was very necessary to combine situations from real life and fantasy.

Big Fish is a movie that has two ways. One way is when Edward tells his life story like a fairy tale. He combines fantasy with daily events. Burton has used fantasy as a means to show people the content of the movie. He gets the nature of rural people in some part of the US.

Every chapter that Edward tells has a meaning; for example when Edward meets the giant Karl, when Edward leaves the town of Ashton, as he feels it is too small for his ambitions, while Karl thinks the town is too small for him.

When Edward meets Amos, and when he works for him without pay, it is just to know where the girl of his dreams lives. And Amos uses many ways to tell Edward where the girl lives. The story seemed totally different from the book. If we see the way Edward was born, it is different from the way the son was born.

The other way in Big Fish is that the director explores the father-son relationship; In fact, he feels his father never tells him the truth. But finally when he comes to know how his dad helped the town, he comes to know about him.

The last part would just leave you sad. It is one of the most moving and touching scenes. When Will finally sees his father’s friends at the funeral; everyone has a memory of him.

Big Fish is one of Burton’s most knocked movies. In fact ,every scene tells of a truth in our life. What Burton has done is to use the fable concept to describe Edward’s actions and intentions.

Big Fish also has a great combination of both movie and the book; you can find this by reading the book or watching this movie, and you will have a refreshing look towards human relationships. That is my point of view of the movie and the meaning for the term “Big Fish.”

what is a dream

2008-10-05T22:55:00.000-07:00

In the article "what is a dream?" the author mentions what people think about dreams in the past, and the scientists' attempts to interpret what the dreams are. First, our ancestors didn’t pay attention to what the dreams were, but they thought that they were important to the individual's feeling and bodily contentment. Not only that, but they thought that god had sent to them message by dreams. Second, in the twentieth century was the beginning of dream studies that made people believes that the dreams illustrated something in their personality. Third, Freud was the first person studied dreams by his wish-fulfillment theory and his book The Interpretation of Dreams. He assumed that the person expressed his wishes and frights in dreams because they were improper in actual life. Third, in balance theory" To Become Popular" by Carl Jung's. Jung viewed that the person contacted with his wishes by dreams. Next, William Domhoff assumed that there were relationships between the dreams and the person's age, sex, society, waking activities, and believes, compared the dreams between the adults with the children and the women with the men, and noted the similarity and the difference between people from 11 cultures. Finally, the author mentions that it is very hard to know the meaning of dreams and the agreement between who study.

2008-10-05T21:28:00.000-07:00

In one night I had a really bad dream. I dreamed that I was insane for long time, and I could see invisible things; after that I started to feel better. I found all my family around me, my mother, father, and my sisters, but I didn’t see my husband and my son, so I was very worried about them. I started asking about them; where were they? For how long had i been sick? What happened to me? After that my phone rang and I woke up; I was so happy that it was just a dream. I think it was the worst dream I ever had.

What is a dream?

2008-10-04T11:52:00.000-07:00

In the article "What is a dream?" the author states that some people have thought it is important to interpret dreams, while the other people don't believe dream the significance of dreams. Our ancients believed that dreams help us learn god's message. In 20 century, people analyze dreams. A scientific methods of dreams started Freud who made wish-fuillement theory at first. Then, Jung made a theory that people could control the dreams. Domhoff connected between dreams and cultures. Dreams affect the period during which a person grows from child to adult. Also, dreams differ between men's dreams and women's dreams. People try to seek perfect interpretation, but people should not fell they need their. It is just dreams.

The computer

2008-10-03T12:02:00.000-07:00

Around the world technology helps people to get a comfortable life. Every
year we have new technology and we can see the difference between who uses it and
who doesn't. In my live, computer is the best thing that helps me to learn anything,
get information about anything, know what is happening in the world, buy what I
need from any store and have fun. I really feel sad for anyone who didn't use
computer, like my mother. She never uses it; when she had seen me or my sisters
spend a long time on the computer, she got angry and usually said, "that is very bad,
you are never doing anything; read books or watch news. She thinks computer will be
harmful to our brain. Due to not using it, she thinks it is a disadvantage. I'm
determined to change her idea. First of all, she should know I can contact people
around the world with a low price, better than if I use phone. I can meet a lot of
friends at the same time. Second, if you want to go to shopping you'll spend your
time but maybe you can't find what you want. I can get anything very quickly and
from any place with low cost. Finally, I don't need to buy books or newspaper or go to
the cinema to see movies because I can get everything online. In conclusion,
computer is the best technology in the world because it makes the entire world like
one village and helps me to change my life for the best. I think my mother now wants
to use computer. She'll get an easier life better than before.

Trains In My Country

2008-10-03T11:47:00.000-07:00

Trains In My Country

In my country we had have big train station. It was a connection between my country and the neighboring countries, but it fell into ruin since the first World War. Now the government wants to renovate it. I think they should do that with high technology, to be befitting with the development in the world. The most important thing is, these trains should connect all Saudi cities and also pass through to the small towns. Second, they should have the net and network connections. When the travelers spend a long time aboard the train, they need to use their laptop, to work or have fun. The network will help them to enjoy. In addition, no one now can wait without internet. Finally, the train should have comfortable seats and beds for the long trips. In conclusion, people in my country are looking for these trains. They think it'll be helpful to a get comfortable trip, so the government should do what people need to encourage them to travel by train.

Making Dreams Work For Us

2008-10-02T07:32:00.000-07:00

In the article "Dreams: making them work for us," the author states how to make dreams work for dreamers. First, Joseph dreams bad dream for a long time. He was exhausted in the morning by this dream. Second, Milton Kramer considers that people should pay attention to their dreams and try to change the bad dreams. Third, changing our dream requires recalling the dream by using several steps. Next, Dr. Rosalind Cartwright has created another approach that can help people to change their dreams. Finally, Joseph could change his bad dream by using dream therapy.

Dreams: Making Them Work For Us

2008-10-02T07:18:00.001-07:00

In the article "Dreams: making them work for us," the author states that People harm their life because they had nightmares in their dreams. They are always tired and become work hard. If people want to stop nightmares, they can follow two techniques. Milton Kramer's technique has five processes, in which people can review their day and connect their dreams with daily life. The other is Dr. Rosalind Cartwright's technique, in which they recognize problems of bad dreams and try to stop any bad dreams. People can change bad dreams and can feel positive. Then, the real life is better.

Lucid dreaming

2008-09-30T11:22:00.000-07:00

According to Pamela Hartmann (n.d.) in her article, "Lucid dreaming", lucid dreaming means consciously aware while a person is dreaming. At that time, they can participate in the events and emotions of the dream by character experiencing , observing and watching, directing and creating. Patricia Garfield, who wrote "Creative Dreaming", said that a lucid dreamer would have unbelievable freedom through the lucid dream. Also Stephen LaBerge, at the Standford University Sleep Lab, has developed a method called the MILD technique. MILD technique is waking up from a dream, imaging yourself, seeing yourself, and telling yourself. He claims that by using the MILD technique, he was able to have lucid dream on any night he wished. The way to gain access to your dream is to place a notebook or diary on your nightstand or under your pillow. Secondly, don't open your eyes immediately when you wake up. Third, lie and try to recall any imagery. Next, think about its ABCD order, ABCD means that D is any specific image, C is the event or activity that preceded it, B is what preceded that, and A is what preceded that. Lastly, describe the dream. Pamela Hartmann says that as we begin to experience this, our dream journal will achieve a special place in our life.

MY DREAM OF MOVIES

2008-09-26T10:18:00.000-07:00

There are three famous movies that I've REALLY been afraid of since I was a little child. One is "ET". You may say, "it is a good movie not a scary one!," but when I saw that movie foe the first time, I couldn't understand the story, because I was little, and instead of that, all I could feel was scared. After seeing the movie, I started to dream about ET; moreover, it was too horrible for me that the story turned into more and more scary in my dream. Imagine that ET stands looking at you at the Japanese traditional wooden house in the dark. So scary! Therefore, I still take the movie of ET as a horror film. The other two movies are ”Jumanji” and "Friday the 13th". I also dreamed about them after seeing the movies and experienced their stories in my dreams again and again. Dreams are really related with my daily life and my feelings. If I could enjoy these movies, these dreams would be different ones for me. I missed the chance to be friends with ET because I never want to watch these films again, even if I'm no longer a poor little child.

My Worst Nightmare

2008-09-25T10:34:00.000-07:00

People dream whenever they sleep. But it’s not a certain thing whether they remember what they had at night or not. For example, I can’t remember almost any of my dreams every day. But let me tell you my worst nightmare. It was when I was a little child, around seven. In my dream, one of my friends and I were walking in a large desert. While we were moving with no purpose, she disappeared from my vision suddenly. I was looking for her for an hour, and then at last I could find her. Surprisingly she was in the house of ant-lion and had been sucking into it quickly. Because I liked her, I made a big effort to help her from the suffering. Though it was a small nest, I couldn’t pull her up because of my lack of power. I guess she was dead, unfortunately. That’s it.

Three dreams

2008-09-25T08:55:00.000-07:00

When I was tired, I slept early. I had several dreams about CESL. In the first dream, I went to a CESL class. Nobody came to the CESL class. I tried to find people, but I did not see people. That moment, I felt so lonely and woke up from my sleep. I slept again. I went to the CESL class again. In my dream, I met many friends. In my second dream I had a problem! Only Korean people came to the CESL class. I felt bad because did not want to meet so many Korean people. I woke up from my sleep again. I thought in my dream that I had changed to a good mind. The third dream came to me. I saw a big hurricane at the university. I ran away from it. I wanted people to rescue me, but nobody helped me. I opened my eyes. I did not sleep that day.

CESL Class's Dream

2008-09-25T08:42:00.000-07:00

Every night I have a new dream and usually I can remember my dreams. The last dream was about a CESL class. This dream was in color. First, I saw myself with all my classmates in mr. Leverett's class, and my sons were with me. Then, Mr Leverett came to the class with a big box. This box had many gifts for all students, watch,necklaces and earrings. mr. leverett said, "everyone can choose one," then he saw my sons and said, "your sons also can choose". Finally, my little son took a watch . My youngest son also took a watch; after that, he said, "I want to take a watch for my father". And he chose a brown watch. I chose a necklace. In conclusion, all my classmates were happy. And I woke up in the morning with a good feeling.

War in Jeddah

2008-09-25T08:31:00.000-07:00

I had a nightmare about a war. I was in the dream sleeping when the airplanes started to explode Jeddah, my hometown. I woke up and looked out the window. All that saw was exploded buildings. I was trying to reach anybody from my family members, but there was nobody. I went to the street in which I had seen my neighbors who had passed away. I asked, who is still alive, where is my family? They said they are with a man whose name is Ahmmed. I asked them, "Any Ahmmed," and they didn't answer. After that I woke up from my nightmare.

Dream About CESL

2008-09-25T08:30:00.000-07:00

I usually do not remember dream, but I know I dreams every day. There is one dream, which I have dreamed since I came here. One dream is about a CESL class. When I came here, I completely did not know about English because most Korean sport players do not study anything. One day, I was in CESL class with my classmates in dream. This time, I talked with teacher and classmates, but I cannot remember what we said or what situation we were in, because there was no sound. In my real life, I cannot speak anything, but I worried about my English. I think I could dream because I always worried about English. In other words, some people dream about what they want when they really want something. So, they accomplish their wish in their dream. And, they feel good in a dream. So, they practice more than before they dreamed, because of their accomplishment. This kind of dream is very useful in our life.

My worst nightmare

2008-09-25T08:29:00.001-07:00

One day, I dreamed a nightmare, that I was in a wide plain finding shelter. I was surrounded by the military. I recognized that it was war. There were lots of people who died with blood around me. I wanted to hide and to find shelter with my family. I could hear shots easily. A few minutes later, someone was shot by the military with guns in front of me. I saw the situation. So I was shocked and afraid of them. I really wanted to escape from the place where war occurred. It was my worst nightmare.

The Worst Nightmare

2008-09-25T08:26:00.000-07:00

The worst nightmare I have ever had was about ghost. Before I slept, I read a book about a ghost. In my dream, I walked on a road which had no light in the middle of the night. Suddenly a woman who had a big mouse appeared. I was very afraid and ran away from her, but she chased me. I ran until I exhausted, and finally I could perfectly run away from her. I stopped in front of a tree, but it was a ghost, too. So I had to run away from it, and I should run again!! I was breathless so much. And I stopped near a man to ask for his help, but the man also was a ghost!! In my dream, all of them were ghosts, so I could not relax during this dream. It is the worst nightmare that I have ever had.

Worst Nightmare...

2008-09-25T08:25:00.000-07:00

Dreams have a special corner in our life. First, some people like to talk about them and some people won't, because they think it is a private personal experience. Second, I usually don't remember my dreams, except for unique ones, good or bad. One of the worst nightmares, I haven't forgotten it since I had it. I was in my parent's house and I went to the back yard. I had had a tooth, then I dug in the back yard and buried the tooth. Also, It was very dark. when I had this dream I was very scared and concermed about this nightmare, and I thought something bad would happen. In addition, I didn't try to interpret my dream because I believed it was just a nightmare and it didn't mean anything. Finally, dreams have an old history from many cultures, and every person has dreams in his/her life and it is very important for him/her.

Lucid Dreaming

2008-09-24T21:10:00.001-07:00

We control our dream in a lucid dream. Pamela Hartmann explains lucid dreams and their technique. Lucid dream, which Fox discovered in 1902, means we are participating in our dreams. It was given special status in early Christianity and Buddhism. Stephen Laberge made the MILD technique, in which we wake up , we imagine the same dream and tell ourselves "next time, I can control the dream." This is a method that he developed. It gives us mental power. When we wake up in the morning, we should not open our eyes, think about a specific image, recollect whatever events we experienced, and remember what it was. We open our eyes and record all those things. It changes our life patterns.

Lucid dreaming

2008-09-24T19:16:00.000-07:00

In "Lucid Dreaming" by Pamela Hartmann (2007) she explains the lucid dreaming history and the methods for its developing. First, in lucid dreaming the dreamer can be part of her or his dream. For example, the dreamer can control and notice his or her dreams' details. Second, Aristotle mentions the idea about lucid dreaming, and the religions like Christianity, Tibetan Buddism and Islam were interested in it. Not only that, but Oliver Fox found it in 1902. Third, the MILD technique, wich Stephen LaBerge has invented, shows how you can be a lucid dreamer. Next, in lucid deaming all the dreamer should do is focusing in their dream and getting ready to notice the potential clues including writing down his or her dreams.

Trains and Buses in the U.S.

2008-09-22T14:54:00.000-07:00

In the U.S., trains and buses are often impractical. Why? There are two reasons. First, people who live in the U.S. have their own car, so they can go everywhere they want to go. Second, trains ans buses often don't arrive on time. If you have the most important meeting in your company, you must not use trains or buses, because you will probabry be late to that meeting. So if the number of trains and buses increase, and if they always arrive on time, people will ride them. The government especially should tell them that you don't be late!!

Buy to Low Price

2008-09-16T11:51:00.000-07:00

All buyers want to buy products that are the cheapest prices. So, people always try to decrease the price of their goods. You can see this situation in departments, shops, and markets in Korea. It can help to save your money. First, buyers compare with other products. For example, when buyers buy some good, the can say, ” I saw this products in another place, but, another place goods are cheaper than these. So, they shake the seller’s mind. Second, the seller always gives an ideal price when the buyer asks the price. Sometimes, they add extra price. So, the buyer must distinguish the details of prices. And then, they can control the prices. They pretend they are buying the products. Finally, they ask many questions, and they look like they almost buy it, but they say, “It is very expensive, so I can’t buy it.” And most sellers reduce the price, because a cheap sale is better than no sale. We can control the price, and it is helpful to our economic lives. We should save money through negotiating.

The Differences between Saudi Society and American Society

2008-09-13T22:33:00.000-07:00

There are many differences between the societies all over the world. These differences are consequence of religions, old customs, the value of freedom and development in the societies. Therefore, people's behavior in certain societies is different than other people's behavior in other societies. Saudi people's methods are bonded by Islamic religion instructions and very old customs. Therefore, Saudi people's methods are different than American people methods, which depend completely on development and freedom. These differences contain three results. Saudi society is more collectivist than the American society, Saudi society has higher power distance than American society and the Saudi society has stronger uncertainty avoidance than American society.

Collectivism in Saudi society is more important than it is in the American society. First, Saudi people prefer group activities; they prefer doing work in the companies with a group to doing it alone. In contrast, American people prefer doing their activities alone. For example, they prefer financing a business instead of getting other people to invest in it. Second, Saudi people think of themselves as "members of a group" so that all people in Saudi Arabia work together to make things happen for each other; they wouldn’t be jealous if another person were more successful than them; they help each other even if they are in competition. This is something that you rarely observe in American society. Finally, Saudi people base decisions on the needs of the group. They never have made decisions based on the benefits of only few in the group, but American people base decisions individually. American people are more individual than Saudi people.

The lack of the development which Saudi Arabia has, and the consideration to keep the old customs has made Saudi society have higher power distance than American society. First, in the Saudi house the man has the first and the final words. The woman cannot make any decision without the approval from the man, and the man always makes the important decisions without sharing them with the women. On the other hand, the man and the woman share with each other to make the important decisions in the American house. Second, at work, Saudi people expect the boss to make all the decisions, and all they do is the achieving. In contrast, at work in American companies there is not as much difference between people of high and low status. The boss listens to people at all levels in the company too. Finally, in the Saudi society the relationship between the old generation and the new generation is strong, so if you were 40 years old and your father asked you to do something you would do it, even if it were without benefit. On the other hand, the relationship between the old generation and the new generation is weak; therefore, the people in the new generation make their decision without taking advice from the old generation. American society eliminates the buffer of the hierarchy, but Saudi society still has it.

Saudi society is close minded; therefore, their uncertainty avoidance is stronger than American society which is open minded. First, Saudi people try to avoid the unknown. For example, the employees in the company are always against any change in the company procedures which they work in, while American company employees are more open to changes. Second, Saudi people are more emotional than American people. For example, the emotions are the most important things at work in Saudi society, so Saudi people never work devotedly without having good relations exist between them and the mangers in their work. However, in American society the most important thing at work is the work itself. They never let the relationship between them and their mangers affect strongly on their work. Finally, Saudi people tend to like having many rules. For example, at work if there were not many rules, they would not achieve, come to work on time and leave on time, so the employer could put a lot of rules to actualizing his work. In the other hand, American employees prefer less rules and more freedom in their work to achieve efficiently. American people have weaker uncertainty avoidance than Saudi people do.

Collectivism, power distance and uncertainty avoidance are higher in Saudi society than they are in American society. That exhibits the disadvantages which Saudi organizations should start to get rid of, and exhibits the advantages which Saudi organizations should keep and develop. With The development of the global economy and the advances in the technology Saudi Arabia cannot afford to resist change and America must come together and work as one. If there were more collaboration and understanding between the societies of the world, and there were even plans for countries throughout the world to share their experiences, the people would be much happier.

Some Time Business is a Gamble

2008-09-13T20:11:00.000-07:00

People always try to start in business to increase their incomes; some of them take loans to start, and others spend all the money which they have saved through of their live. Therefore, they should choose good cities to start a strong business in. Carbondale is one of the cities which some people have started a small business in. They may forget that starting business in Carbondale contains three dangers. The number of Carbondale people is not comforting; the geographic location of Carbondale is not strategic, and the competition with the big store in Carbondale would be difficult.

The people who live in Carbondale are about 40,000, and this number of people is not encouraging at all. First of all, this number of people in Carbondale makes the people close to each other. Therefore, if you make mistake with one customer, a lot of people in Carbondale would likely know about it; therefore, this would negatively affect you in your trade by losing more than one customer. Second, 20,000 of Carbondale people are students, and the students never have much money to buy from the stores. Finally, the people who are not students in Carbondale have simple jobs, so they have small mount incomes which they use some of them for the important products. The number of people in Carbondale is not enough to start your business in it.

Carbondale, which is located in southern Illinois, has a bad geographic location to start a new business in. First, it is not a tourist city, so your dependence would be on local people. Therefore, you could lose the opportunity of tourist customers. Second, the weather in Carbondale is bad for business. The winter in Carbondale is seven months, so the sky is still snowing for five months, which could have negative effects on your trade. Not only that, but in the summer, which is three months in Carbondale, all the students could leave because of the high temperature, so almost half of your customers would have left during these three summer months. Finally, Carbondale is next to big cities like Chicago, St.Louis and Memphis. Therefore, your potential customers would prefer traveling to them one or two times a year to buy long term products for the year instead of buying from your store. Carbondale's geographic location makes it bad for starting a business in it.

Starting business in Carbondale requires strong competition. First, big stores like Wal-Mart and Kroger will be your competitors. The big stores like them have more ability in the product discounts than small stores, by using their big warehouses to store plenty of products after buying them with cheaper prices because of the big amount. Second, Carbondale is very small so the good business would be noticed; therefore, you would have many potential competitors with a small number of people. Finally, people always trust big stores more than small stores. They sometimes prefer buying products, which the small stores have, from big stores at same price than buying them from small stores next to them because they think they are cheaper. The competition in Carbondale would put you in a critical position.

Business in Carbondale is not a good idea, because of the number of the people, the geographic location and the strong competition. If you want to take a gamble do it. Some people in the world love the adventures, but they try to study them well before will have started, so if they are would be unsuccessful they, avoid them. And business in Carbondale is an unsuccessful adventure; so think about your luck.

Bargain Before Buying

In my country people always negotiate.Some people neqotiate high price products others negotiate cheap products. Houses, cars and lands are the first things we negotiate for. Food and clothes are the second thing we negotiate for. In my country I used to bargain to buy some land for may father, and buy some used cars for my family's restaurant chain. Not only that, but when I was working in my family's restaurant chain, I have faced many customers bargaining with me. Therefore, I am good in bargaining because of my special strategies. Frst, do not show your craving or desiring of the products. second, before deciding to buy any products go around and observe the costs of the similar products. third, decide how much you want to pay. Next, offer a price which is as much below what you have decided to pay, as the seller's price is above it. Finally, go back and forth with the sellers until they accept your price. you should bargain in my country to have a good price.

"Effects of Supply and Demand"

2008-09-11T08:46:00.000-07:00

The world is changing the effects of supply and demand. There are at least three reasons that the world has changed. First, people use more products. For example, china is developing rapidly those days. Chinese people spend to eat a lot of pork, so the pork price in the world have in creased. Second, the economic effect changes supply and demand. The Beijing Olympics finshed their events. The world economy has grown, so all countries have increased spending for products. Third, the world changes effects of oil shocks. When the U.S attacked Iraq, oil prices increased. All countries' economies had big damages because of all prices, spending, and increases for poor people. Now the world is changing in a variety effects. We should care about changes in the world effect our lives.

"No cell phone No life" in Japan

2008-09-11T08:44:00.000-07:00

In Japan, cell phone is now one of the most important tools that almost all people carry. At first, it was simply a tool to call and email, and gradually became popular as a useful tool that we can use to get in touch with each other easily. The supply of cell phones grew rapidly after it had other functions besides calling and emailing. Now, we can take beautiful pictures, listen to music we like and see the internet as if we were using high-end equipment. Also we can use it as a wallet, train and airplane ticket, or sometimes it can become our ID. This means that we can do everything, all our needs in our daily life, with the small single cell phone. It can be said to be kind of crazy. Because it also means that our life is completely controlled by it, in other words. It may be true that technical progress makes human beings decline.

Subway

2008-09-11T08:25:00.000-07:00

In London when I was 7 years old l rode the underground train; it was my first time to ride a rain. It was an interesting experience. Transport by trains or buses is easier, faster and cheaper than by car. I think they should provide some services, like Internet cables or wireless connection. Therefore, the people can do their business. In addition, if they make some private cabins for those people who have a long trip, they can sleep, read, and watching TV. In the end if Carbondale has a subway I will sell my car and use it.

Bargaining and Supermarket

2008-09-11T08:19:00.000-07:00

A negotiating situation is often seen in a supermarket in the evening. When you go near the area with uncooked food such as meat or raw fish, after around 5:00pm, you can find the clerk sealing tiny circular seals on the goods. The seals show a discount rate like “50% OFF”. So, buyers put the food that became cheaper into their baskets. Of course, it is getting worse to eat, less delicious as time goes by. But it’s possible to buy lower prices than in the daytime. That may be an original habit in Japan. But it helps many people who want to save money.

Change of the demand for wheat

2008-09-11T08:08:00.000-07:00

In Korea, we have changed with regard to wheat flour. Wheat has been regarded as a cheap crop since the Korean war in 1950. At that time, we didn't have enough food to eat like rice. Therefore rice, which was not plentiful, was regarded as an expensive crop, while wheat, which was common, was regarded as a cheap one. Today, however, because Korea has become a richer country, rice is not an expensive crop anymore. In the case of wheat, its demand has became increasingly more and more. Because of the demand for wheat, wheat has been cultivated more and more.

Bargaining

2008-09-11T08:07:00.001-07:00

bargaining means making the price lower than the original price. First, some people have skills and ability to negotiate about products to make the prices low. Also, the ability to bargain differs from men to women. Second, there are many thing you can bargaining about, like houses, cars and furniture. In contrast, some products already have a low price, like clothes, fruit and vegetables. Also, some places you can not bargain, because there are particular prices, and the salesman can not change it, especially, in international and famous store. Finally, there are many strategies to do the bargain with skill. The customers compares the price of products in many stores to find a suitable price for them before buying. In addition, the comparing between the stores helps the customers to put in their minds the ordinary price for those products. After that they can get the price they want, because they know the maximum they can reach. Bargaining is a special ability; not every person can do it.<

Privacy on the internet

2008-09-11T08:07:00.000-07:00

Now, the internet is one of the most important tools to communicate. When we use it, we can communicate with friends even if we live far from each other. It is really easy and convenient for us. For example, by using communities like "My Space" or "Face Book", it will make it easy and more useful. On those tools, we can tell people who we are, what we do and anything we want. But we should notice that it also can endanger our privacy. Because we can tell everything easily, everyone can get information easily. We should watch and have wisdom about it. It made our life easy and convenient when we use the internet, but especially when it has to do with our privacy, it depends on ourselves whether it will be a good tool or not.

Buying things in the U.S.

2008-09-11T06:47:00.000-07:00

When we buy some things in a supermarket, there are some differences between the U.S. and Japan. People living in the U.S. use a big shopping cart and put food in it directly without a basket. This action is not seen in Japan, because we make use of a basket to stock food and goods on a cart. Then we carry them to a cashier and put just the basket with stuffs before her/him. In this situation I found the second difference. The American supermarket usually has a conveyer on the cashier’s desk. I was surprised at this. That machine is very useful, but on the other hand, it wastes energy. Compared to using peoples’ hand to check goods, it does not take as much time. That is the difference I can feel in a grocery.

Revolution of Our Life

2008-09-08T13:09:00.000-07:00

When the computer was supplied to us, we changed our life. We use it in every part of our life for mail, airport, train government etc. Basically, we changed in three ways to we use it to set, to enjoy life, and to communicate easily. First, we get a lot of information from the computer. 20 years ago, my father found it difficult to study at a university; if he wanted good information, he had to spend a lot of time searching. Now, if we want to find good information, we find easily from the computer. Second, we enjoyed only going to cafes and department stores. now we enjoy playing games and traveling to other nations from the computer. Third, we communicate easily from the computer. A long time ago, we used to communicate from people to other people. It took us a lot of time. Now, if we use computer, we spend only 5 seconds. We save a lot of time from the computer. we change many things about getting good information, making good time, and communicating easily. We can be able to try anything.

Computer give us convinient

2008-09-08T13:08:00.000-07:00

Computer gives us a lot of things. For example, 25years ago there was no computer. My mother's hobby is traveling, so my parent often went to travel by train. Before they went to travel, every time they had to check the time when the train arrived, and which way was the best way to go there by book. But it was hard to find the best way, and it took a lot of time.

Now we can find with the best way easily because of computer. If I fill in the blank with what the place of purpose is, when I want to go, the computer will give me some answer. We can choose the best one.

It is easier than 25 years ago, isn't it?

Internet changed my life

In 1998 I started using the Internet. In the beginning I was just looking at different sites and I didn’t imagine that the Internet would change my life and become important to me. Now after 10 years of using the Internet, I can say that I learned a lot of things I would never know if there was no Internet. I am using the Internet now for everything from checking my email to cooking my dinner. After I came to Carbondale I started to buy and sell stuff online; because it’s easy to find and get whatever I want; I just received my new cell phone yesterday that I bought online. Internet is very important to me; I can see my family and talk to them, find my old friends, send pictures and buy everything, and that is what l like the most.

Using Computer For Shopping is Better

2008-09-05T07:29:00.000-07:00

The computer makes us do many things more easily. These days, you can buy almost every things by the computer. First, you can buy books from sites like Amazon cheaper than in book stores. Second, if you want to buy clothing you could go shopping in your home without changing your regular day, and without spending a lot of time walking from one store to another store. Also, by the computer you can buy electronic products before they start to be in the electronic stores. Not only that , but you could buy video games from the internet before they would be in video game stores. Finally, you can choose the cheapest travel agency to travel with by the internet. These days the smartest way to buy things is by using computer.

Buying Something

People in the world buy something, at least on thing every day, for food, fashion, and health. But , the way of buying are different between U.S. and Korea. There are lots of marts and lots of people buying many things. They have different way of buying. First, we must pay tax with products. For example, if you buy a cup of coffee, chips, and food, you must pay tax in the U.S. But, in Korea, you can pay just the price of products. Also, they do not give a tip. Second, U.S. people buy fruit and groceries in the store. Korea also has many grocery shops. But, many koreans buy fruit and groceries from the trucks. In other words, seller put fruit and groceries in his truck , and they go everywhere and to places where the store is not located. So, people can buy easily. Finally, Koreans eat something that they want to buy before buying. Most shops and marts have free food for trying. So, if you want to buy some food, you can try eating it. If you do not want to buy it, you do not have to buy it. It is up to you. But I have never seen free food for trying in the U.S. In conclusion, even if each country has different way of buying, we can buy everything easily in everywhere

Magic Machine (The Computer)

2008-09-05T07:23:00.000-07:00

The computers make life easier and more comfortable than many years ago. First, now you can do everything you want by computers. You can make new friends from around the world and have great time with them;also you can see them in your home. Moreover, you can study or work in the college or university by internet; in contrast, my mother or father had to go to college or university because that was not possible in their time. Second, the computers provide many professional programs. If you want to see some countries like France or England you can use google earth to see those places if you want, and that you go many places without travelling. Also, the computers help you to make reservations in the hotel before you travel, also, the computers are very appropriate because they make shopping interesting, by making good dealing by comparing with others stores. Finally, the computer is an organization machine especially, for women. It organizes all the appointments with reminders to help you not forget any important appointments, like the hospital appointment for children. I think computers are very useful machines for all people and they can not live without it.

How much time do you have in a day? By using computer, it possible for people to have more time. That means computers help people to save time. We know what happened between old times and these days. There are lots of change. We can go shopping and make reservations on the internet. If I want to buy something, I can buy it without visiting a store. Older people who didn't use computer had to visit a store to buy something. However, these days people who use computer don't have to visit. Make reservations is the same. We can work easily for a short time. Moreover we can see any place where we can't go but we want to go. That is, by using computer, it possible for people to have more time.

Korea needs Biofuel

2008-08-04T13:57:00.000-07:00

Abstract

The topic of this paper is an alternative energy that is biofuel. It argues that Korea needs to research biofuel as an alternative energy source of the future to replace fossil resources. There are four reasons for this argument. The first is that biofuel is good for the environment and helps to solve air pollution problems. The second is that biofuel gives Korea a big competitive edge to improve its economy and the third is that Korean technology can be developed to be eco-friendly. Finally, biofuel does not affect food security too much in comparison with the oil crisis.

The topic of this paper is Korea needs biofuel.

Parents Be Aware by Krunal

2008-08-04T12:56:00.000-07:00

Today, “One third of the global population ageed 15years and over are

addicted.’’According to “Drug use and abuse worldwide.” There are three things parents

and Indian government should do: give basic education about harmful effects

of drugs, pay attention of their behavior, and intervene if children are addicted to

illicit drugs.

As far as I am concerned, parents and Indian government should give basic

education. As we know, childhood is the best period to build future. Parents should

teach about dangerous diseases and harmful effects. Parents should make some subject

compulsory which are related to drugs.

Second, parents should pay attention of their behavior. Parents should not smoke,

whenever their children are with them. Parents should not give pocket money.for

example, my neighbor who is addicted to cigarette many years. He has two children. His

children are imitated his behavior . In the end, my neighbor knew realty about his

children. Parents should alwas pay attention of their friends because they sometimes

create problems.

Third and last, if children are addicted to illicit drugs. In this

circumstance, parents shouldn’t punish them. Instead explain their children. Parents

should meet with their children and try to explain they get diseases, lose ltheir life

and education etc. This ways, children are come back right ways of life.

In a nutshell, children aren’t mature about their life, so education and

intervention play important role in children’s life.

Solution Ways of Alcohol Problems by Seal

Solution Ways of Alcohol Problems

seal

The alcohol seems like a sexy girl because if she tempts men, men do not control a

mind. The Korean government should help the alcohol problems. It must make strong

rules, many facilities, and prevention programs.

First, the Korean government should make strong laws. For example, mart

stores and convenience stores sell alcohols in korea because people can easily that buy

alcohols. Also, the Korean government must punish the heavy rules about alcoholics.

Last, it should increases alcohol taxes because people do not spend money about buying

of alcohols.

Second, the Korean government makes should many facilities. It should make

hospitals for alcoholics. Hospitals can help the physical therapy and the psychical cure .

Also, the Korean government should make patient treatment centers and give treatment.

It makes counseling houses which help people living skills.

Third, the Korean government makes prevention programs. It should makes ads about

alcohol prevention. For example, if ads about alcohol prevention show dead alcoholics,

people might understand easily. Also, all ads of alcohol prevention need to put big

warning labels. For example, the warning “If you like alcohols, you die soon” is carved

into all ads of alcohol prevention. Also, the Korean government should make pleasure

programs that people can enjoy programs. For example, it need to makes events that are

soda and milk drinking contests in korea

The Korean government must try to make new rules, treatment facilities, and good

prevention programs. Even though alcohol is unhealthy, most people drink too mush.

Therefore, the Korean government should help the alcohol problems.

Smoking in Saudi Arabia By Abdulgader Shukri

2008-08-04T12:39:00.000-07:00

Smoking in Saudi Arabia

Smoking is popular all over the world. The number of

people who smoke increased in the entire world. I do not know if

we have countries where smoking is illegal on it, but I know some

areas in my country, Saudi Arabia, selling and smoking cigarettes

are illegal although Saudi Arabia has a larger number of smokers

than other countries. We should decrease the number of smokers in

Saudi Arabia. They are three main reasons to decline this number.

The bad effects of second-hand smoke, it casing the lung cancer, it

consumes large amounts of money.

First, it causes bad effects on second hand smoke. Your family is

the first victim. If your wife’s pregnant and you smoke at home,

your babies become very unhealthy. Also, if you go out with your

friends and smoke around them, it is cause them dieses in the

future. Maybe someone will have asthma and go to the hospital

because you smoke a lot.

Next, the number off the lung cancer increased because they

smoke more and more. In “Addiction: What Can Be Done About It? “

the author says about 75% of deaths from lung cancer among

women are caused by smoking. It is the largest cause of death in

the world although there is a health warning on every packet of

cigarettes indicating that smoking is the main cause of lung cancer.

Also, in the same article the author says on average, cigarette

smokers are 10 to 15 times more likely to get lung cancer than a

non-smoker.

Finally, cigarette smokers consume large amounts of money.

According to BBC News “Saudi Warning to Tobacco Firms” Saudis

spend $1.3 billion a year on tobacco and smoking-related goods.

We can build hospitals with this money to cure smoker. We can help

the poor people. All of disposable income goes to damage your

health even though you feel happy and smile when you smoke.

In conclusion, because all of this principle reasons, we should

decries this numbers. The terrible effects on second hand smoke,

lung cancer disease, and the unbelievable amount of money they

spend on buying cigarettes. I think these reasons are enough for

smokers to cope with themselves about the truth. All of us have at

least one person in our family who smoked. What we should to do

to help them is to give them advice. You should quit now before

you die young. Be careful.

Pregnant women should keep away from alcohol (Caroline)

2008-08-04T12:38:00.001-07:00

Pregnant women should keep away from alcohol

Alcohol kills both pregnant women and babies. Alcohol impairs young mother and their children. If you drink a good deal of wine during your pregnancy you will get into trouble. Lots of research indicated that alcohol makes the baby’s body deformed, harms to mother’s heath and makes people have an addiction.
In the beginning, a pregnant mother drinks a great deal of alcohol, which will cause babies to suffer from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). FAS can manifest many symptoms which range from physical to learning deficits. For example, they have heart, hearing and vision problems, neurological impairment, brain deformation and, low learning facilities. It is a terrible disease for the babies.
Also, alcohol harms to mother’s health. Drinking too much alcohol will lead to hepatitis and many cancers. It kills brain and stomach cell either. I have heard recently research shows that wine-drinkers compared with non-drinkers have ten times higher risk of getting stomach cancer. Alcohol does harm to the liver,which purifies toxic substances in our body. The liver have no sense of pain,so drinkers usually ignore the seriousness of hepatitis.
Finally, if a pregnant mother is addict to alcohol, not only she undertakes physical disease but also suffers from family problems. Many alcoholic wives couldn’t take good care of family, because they occasionally blackout and forget what was said or done. The worst thing is that a mother has greater tolerance, which lets her to drink stronger wine. So, the stronger wine they drink,the more diseases they have.
In conclusion, undue alcohol damages our health. Some people consider that drinking wine is a good method to forget sorrows or nightmares,but there’re still others ways to release pressure and to relax figure. A little alcohol can improve our immune system while too much alcohol will damage our health. Pregnant mothers should know drinking alcohol will get a lot of terrible diseases and give newborn babies an unfortunate life.

We'll Lose Children's Innocence by Khoolod Alshareaf

2008-08-04T12:34:00.000-07:00

"KHOKA"
We’ll Lose Children’s Innocence.

Children are the most wonderful things in our life. Around the world, there are many ways to kill children’s innocence. In my country, Saudi Arabia, smoking is a dangerous thing for children because it’s allowed. I think the government should do something to stop this because it will harm children’s health, it’s bad habit, and it’s a first step on drugs way.

First of all, smoking harms kids’ health. It is bad for our children brains. Smoking effect is learning deficits affecting abstract thinking and it is very bad for their I.Q. Children will be suffering from lung cancer or asthma. They will lose their appetite and then lose weight.

Next, smoking is a bad habit. Most children smoke because they saw their family do that. They don’t have the ability to decide what is good or bad. Children think smoking will help them solve any problem because they always see people smoke if they have problem, want to think or decide something. They think it is easy to quit smoking, but that is impossible.

Finally, smoking is the first step to more harmful drugs. If children smoke when they are still young, so I think is easy to try any kind of drugs. After children smoke for a lot of time, their body will need something strong, which will push them to try marijuana or hashish. Children and teenagers always do what their friends do.

In conclusion, smoking is bad for children. It’s bad for the brain, health and I.Q. Also it’s a bad habit parent’s help children learn and it’s difficult to quit. In other words, smoking is easy and fast way to kill our children.

The Teenager Smoker by Ray

2008-08-04T12:00:00.000-07:00

In “Drug Use and Abuse Worldwide,” the author says “Tobacco

continues to be the substance causing the maximum health damage

globally.” In China, more and more teenagers are smokers even though

they know smoking is bad. I think the Chinese government should make

laws, teenagers can’t buy cigarette. Because smoking is really bad

for the teenagers’ bodies, the people around the smokers will be

second-hand smokers, and smoking spends a lot of money.

First, smoking is really harmful for the teenagers’ bodies.

Teenagers need many nutrients to grow. In fact, the cigarettes can

damage the body’s nutrients. For example, smoking can stop the bodies

absorption of vitamin C, there is the possibility of scurvy. Also,

cigarettes can be directly toxic. I heart through animal test some

surprising results, such as, if someone injected the horse with eight

drops of nicotine, it will soon die. So cigarettes are really harmful

for teenagers.

Second, the people around the smokers will be second-hand

smokers. That is to say, even you don’t smoke, as long as you are near

a smoker, your health will be affected as well. In fact, be a second-

hand smoker is worse than be a smoker. Maybe the other people around smokers will start smoking even though they know smoking is bad. But

teenagers always think smoking is very cool.

Finally, smoking spends a lot of money. Cigarettes are

expensive. In China, smokers spend thousands million dollars buying

cigarettes every year. I’m a smoker. I know this. Every week I spend

about 100 dollars buying cigarettes. That’s not a big number. If I

don’t smoke for one year, I can save 5,000 dollars. I can buy a second-

hand car!

Smoking is really harmful. But it’s really hard to quit. So I

think the Chinese government should make laws, can’t buy cigarettes.

Because is really harmful for the teenagers’ bodies, the people around

the smokers will be second-hand smokers, smoking spends a lot of money.

So, the teenagers, never try it.

What is the crime ?
Why is the criminal not successful ?
What controls deter you from committing this crime ?

In this video, the crime is stealing money from supermarket.

The thief wasn’t successful because he didn’t plan for the attraction will happen from the security, and for what time he will need. He took a lot of time in this process, and when he try to escape, he fell up on the ground. The worker, who is working in the store ( supermarket ), used his cell-phone to register this process in it.

There are many controls to deter someone from committing this crime. One of these is putting a security in the entrance to this store. Second, putting a big camera to take a picture for everyone. Finally, this store must display sign like “ This store prosecutes shoplifters to the full extent of the law.”

Controlling Crime.
In this video about the robbery. The young man tried to steal money from convenience store. However, he didn’t. Because the managers didn’t allowanced his acting. So he escape form store. But that time the manager to kick on his back. I think this is internal controlling.

1. What is the crime?
It is a liquor store robbery in 21st, Nov, 2005। A man who had a knife tried to rob money. He threatened the manager, saying, “give me money.” The manager was scared, but he attacked the robber, and the robber escaped from the store.

2. Why is the crime not successful?
The crime is not successful because the manager, Edward Patrossi, is smart। He jumped up on the counter, grabbed something, and gave him a high kick. After the robber escaped, the manager took pictures of the robber’s car license by his mobile phone. He said, “I was nice, polite, and did my best.” And because the robber didn't go over the store.

Controlling Crime
Haruna Narazaki

1, What is crime?
The crime is a robber. He entered into a convenience store, and tried to rob much money.

2, Why is the criminal not successful?
Because a worker fought the robber. The robber ran away from him, but he went after the robber. So, the robber at entrance door kicked him. But, he took a picture of the car’s number so, the robber’s this plan was not successful.

3, What controls deter YOU from committing this crime?
I think this case works external control.
But, in my case, I think internal control deter me from committing a crime. Because, I think criminal is bad behavior and I should not commit a crime. For me, it is common sense of human.

This is robbery. He entered the shop and tried to take money from a shop.

2 Why is the criminal not successful?

In the video, a man stood in front of register showing a long knife to a manager, but a manager said “What are you doing?” with strong emotion. A manager grabbed something and showed him attack emotion. Then he was shocked and he went back to the entrance. A manager kicked him and tried to take him out side. That was strong action. A manager took a cell phone and took number of a car with camera. That is why he didn’t successes this crime.

3 What controls (external or internal) deter YOU from committing this crime?

As for me, internal control does.
Because I have already have image of crime that crime is not good and wrong.

1.- It’s about robbery in a liquor store and assault with a deadly weapon .

2.- Because the suspect or person who robs the store doesn't know about the control the situation. The suspect doesn’t take nothing money, he has a big knive and said it's a assault give me the money and said I’m serious, after the suspect go ran out side the store.
Its obvious the criminal doesn't professional and scary the people.

3.- I think the controls are internal because he doesn't feel with confidence what does this crime . Maybe he feel fear of being arrested.

CONTROLLING CRIME BY FAHAD

2007-09-19T08:56:00.000-07:00

QUESTIONS:

1- WHAT IS THE CRIME?
2- WHY IS THE CRIMINAL NOT SUCCESSFUL?
3- WHAT CONTROLS DETER YOU FROM COMMITTING THIS CRIME?

ANSWERS:

1- It’s a mini market robbery.

2- Because he didn’t know that the man who works at the store has a black belt in six marshals arts, so he defend himself by using this arts, and the robber didn’t expect that the seller will react that way so he escaped through the door then the seller followed him and gave him a kick that lay him on the ground, then the robber started to run and he followed him and took a picture of the car plate number which helped the police to arrest him.

3- It’s the internal controls that deter me from doing that which has four factors. The First it’s a forbidden and bad thing to do and will me make me feel bad about myself. The Second if my family and friends find out about it, they will disapprove it. The Third is the fear of being arrested or imprisoned. Finally social force such as being fired from my job, losing the trust of my colleagues, and not being able to get a good job because it will be on my records.

My favorite TV program

2007-06-13T12:56:00.000-07:00

There are alot of TV programs that I like in my life. There is one TV program I have been watching since I was young. The name of this program is Diamond, and it's a kind of game. In the begin they start with 7 players. The point for this game is to see who has more skill and to see who is faster. There are alot of rooms. Inside each room a different game. When the player goes inside the room, he just has 5 minutes to get the Diamond. When I watch this program i really enjoy it Specially when I am with my friend because we have to guess who is going to win in the end.

My Favorite TV Program

2007-06-13T12:55:00.000-07:00

In my whole life, the Sports Center is my best TV program. When I was child, I was very interested in sports.However, my country's broardcast company hasn't show many kind of sports. Among that time, I found out the Sports Center. That time NBA is the popular sports to me. I want to watch a lot of NBA games. That time Sports Center shown many highlights, which has variety sports news not only NBA but also MLB, NFL and NHL. Among the section, my favorite part is TOP10, which introduce the best perfoemonce in today. If I don't discover the Sports Center, maybe my life is more boring than now. Besides, at first time, I watched it my language version, but now I usually see English version. It provide not only enjoy the watch but also learn English. I don't understand everything now but I hope that it lead to me to be good at English. In conclusion, the Sports Center is very helpful, useful and enjoyful my life.

My favourite Move show

2007-06-13T12:51:00.000-07:00

My favourite TV Show is X-files. This is very interesting and think a lot. At the end of they will never tell you what will happen and the answer and give you a lot of space to thinking and you will think have a lot of answers. This let a lot of people love this show and very famous at a span.
When at 8 o'clock in the evening every person sit infront of the TV and wait. We know this is not true but just find this stage direction is very great this not tell us the answer but we can guess and hope tomorrow can come early.

My favorite TV program!!!

2007-06-13T12:46:00.000-07:00

HI! I am Patrick. This is my first time to write a personal blog, I want to talk about my favorite TV program. My favorite program is ESPN. It talks about any kinds of sports and including sports news, games, and players in the world. Many Americans like sports, such as baseball, basketball, and football. These are very popular sports in America. People care about which team won the game yesterday, and which player did very well.
I like to watch sports games, especially baseball and basketball. In Taiwan, many people care about the MLB player who comes from Taiwan, like Yankees Changming Wang, and Dodgers Hungzi Kuo. Because both these pitchers are very popular in Taiwan, we like to watch them play games. The other sport I like is basketball, especially the NBA. If I have time, I want to go the Unite Center to watch the Chicago Bulls games.
These sports are my favorite ! So this is why I like to watch ESPN. So if you have time, you should watch it and enjoy the games. I hope you will like it!

You can here for more information.

POLYGAMY

2007-05-08T13:07:00.000-07:00

I have accessed http://www.hop.com/biglove This site belongs to HBO TV station. It contains several links like the one that shows the programs presented at the screen. Big Love is one the programs that is presented now, and is talking about the polygamy. In addition, there is a link that talks about the big love show. Also there are some interviews with some actors who work for big love show.

Polygamy is when you have more than one wife at the same time. There are many views about polygamy around the world. In my opinion religions are behind these differences. However, some religions like ISLAM allowed polygamy for many reasons. On the other hand, it has many difficult conditions to ensure the interactions and rights of all parties, particularly justice, equality, food, clothing, expense and mercy. At the time many societies denied it. As a result, prohibited and illegal sexual relationships became acceptable. Therefore these societies often have illegitimate children or foundlings more then the societies that accept it.

DRINKING

2007-05-08T13:06:00.000-07:00

I have visited http://www.ias.org.uk It is about drinking and it talks about What the factors are that may make a person accept drinking; also they found that there was a direct link between the causes of adolescent males and females drink and their relationship with their parents. Also, some research showed that there are various things that led peopl to drink such as social and psychological factorsa s well as peers.

Now drinking is widespread among youth groups, and it must be a serious issue. Most of the young people are unaware of the seriousness of this issue. Therefore, I think it is the duty of governments and parents Inordr to help young people from this risk.

Amish

2007-05-08T12:21:00.001-07:00

In the begining, I visited the website http://www.amish.net and it's a very interesting website, because I saw several pictures of Amish. In that section for search about anything Amish, like gift shops, Amish information center, food and Amish tours. They have stuff for sale, like food, dolls, and farms. They are a lot of things to learn about the Amish's life. The wedsite has a huge amount of information about how the Amish can live or how they can get the food and other stuff like that. Amish life es so amusing they show us when they came first and where they live how they work. That is so interesting.
In my opinion, I like this website, because it shows us how important are the Amish. And I like the way in the website; it seems so easy to find anything about them. They have a lot of information about them. And the website gives the history about the Amish. For me I like this website because I learn amazing information about the Amish.
