Inner and outer qualities

     What I think of for people being different for inner and outer is that you can look at them for many different reason like color religion weight and many more. How people look can affect them for getting picked on a team to play like dodge ball or something. They could really be one of the best players.
     I know what its like to be picked last and it sucks. So just to judge someone buy how they look is dumb because you miss a lot they have to offer like in Kong Fu if they didn't except that boy just because he is not full Chinese would be a loss and the master see that and excepts him. This is what I believe we should learn from Kong Fu and never to judge "a book by its cover".

China

I don't know much about china so i am gonna like learning about it. I know we had summer Olympics there and the great wall of china is large. also we buy a lot of stuff from there cause like everything we buy says "made in china". Plus they speak a different language than we do. they Eat a lot of rice and i love Chinese food sometimes. I don't know what there religion is or really anything more about China.

jobs that complement each other

I picked Jewelery places and the East Boulder Mine because the jewelery store sell platinum and pladium that the mine drills for and they are a buyer of the mine. so like in the story they complement each other by both profit the mine would lose there job and what they do just like molley would be out of a job if the fish didn't do what is does.

India

India is a country in South Asia. Its the seventh largest country by geographical area, the second most populous country with over 1.18 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world. India also has a coastline of 4,700 miles. Also since introducing a market based economic reform in 1991, India has become one of the fastest going Major economies in the world.
Some other facts about India are that its area is 1.27 million sq. mi. about a third size the U.S. Its terrain varies from Himalayas to flat rivers valleys and deserts in the west. Religions vary from Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh and many other groups. Another interesting fact is that the life expectancy is 66.46 years. For there work face about 50% is agriculture so that is a big thing in India.

persepolis

I felt that in the end of the book it wrapped up well. Marjane relized that sometimes growing up isnt everything it seems to be so when marjane is leaving she has to grow up and move on. Her parents are very sad to and the mom faints.

Iran

        What i have learned about Iran so far is that it has diverse landscape like desert, snowy mountians, and forest also. Iran has a very interesting way of deling with things like they still hang people today and I want to know why. Iran is also very big in muslim religion. I am very interested in what else i might learn about Iran in this class i look forward to it.

British fall

I believe the British fail because of the white people and the religion and Okokwo kills himself because he doesn't want change and he thinks that his best option. So i agree with how the story tells it cause it is realistic and makes perfect sense of it so i agree with the story on how the British fell.

Okonkwo putting his life back together

      In Things Fall Apart By Chinua Achebe the main character is Okonkwo. Two big pieces of Okonkwo's life that I believe have "Fallen Apart" are that he gets thrown out of his village and he loses his property.

      Okonkwo gets thrown out of his home when, at a warrior's funeral, he is shooting his gun with other people. His gun misfires and kills the boy of the man that's dead. Now Okonkwo has to flee the village or be killed.

       As a result of this accident, Okonkwo will have to leave the village with nothing. The people of his village with their  religion feel they have to burn his house and barns so there aren't any evil spirits left. Okonkwo has to stay out of the village now for seven years. Okonkwo has to start over in a new village.

       These problems in Okonkwo's life will need to be put back together. He has to redo his whole life. So Okonkwo has a lot of work ahead of him and he will have to put his life together piece by piece.

Inside my life

In my family household its works with my mom being the cook and cleaner. She always makes us clean a lot. My dad is always working outside around the house keeping it clean. I help him by mowing the yard with are riding mower and and other jobs. My sister helps my mom more by cleaning and helping inside the house.

Both of my parents treat my sister and me very equally i believe. They always split the chore equally so its fair and we don't fight. They have always spent the same amount of money on both of us for Christmas ans birthdays. That's why I believe we r treated equally.

My dad is the enforcer he will be the one to get mad and mom struggles trying to enforce rules usually. One example is when we were younger my dad had a thing called the spanking stick. When we did something we shouldn't he would spank us mom couldn't well she just didn't want to. And when mom wants something done she tells us to do it when dad wants something done he makes us do it.

So my house wouldn't run without my dad or mom working. because of how they work together are house runs smoother. I love how are house works and wouldn't change it if I could. Even though sometimes i really want to. :)

In what ways does Okonkwo overcompensate for his father's weaknesses?

He over compansates by being to hard on his kids and never really slowing down.
In what ways is he presented as unusual for his culture?
I believe he is unusual because he is so rich for his time and thats just makes him different.
What is his attitude toward women?
His attitude towards women is not great really it good be wqay better i believe.
Why does he dislike his son Nwoye so much?
He dislikes his son so much because he is so lazy and his father dislikes him alot for it cause he is so lazy.

What are Okonkwo's main characteristics?

Some of Okonkwos main characteristics that I will tell you are influenced by his dad. One of the big ones is how rich he is. His dad was poor witch made him not want to be like his dad. Since he was rich he had like the biggest farm in the land. He is also never  lazy and he doesn't like people that are.

What were the characteristics of his father which affect him so powerfully?
The characteristics that effected him so powerfully were like I said before his dad was poor and he did not want to be like him at all. His dad borrowed money all the time to. This is what influenced him so much i believe.
