Response for book club

When I first start to read the book I felt like this book is attracting me and the reasons behind that that there is a lot common thing between marjana and me . Both us left our country to study . However , she went abroad because of the war . Persepolis book share a lot of story that had happen to marjana while she was in Iran and what she want to be when she grow up and what problem that she was facing in the school with her teachers and classmate. however , the writer didn’t shows or mention what happen with marjana ideas to be prophet . while the book are showing what happen to marjana while she was abroad and how she was reacting when she has problem that cause by her religion and where she came from . As you knew that marjana came from different culture and tradition that the society that were living in so it was not easy or as they say it was hard landing for her . because , she came with idea that she have take it from the people behavior back in Iran . when you take person who doesn’t consider adult to open world where every thing is legal and people are allow to do what ever they want is something had effect marjana negatively because she was so lost . Also this reason had lead marjana to a lot of thing bad choice like bad friends and bad relationship  . but , she didn’t stop believing in her self . although she were facing all these problem in her life at the end she came back . in the end of the book I knotless that she stated to think like an adult . she start to realize that she have to be proud of where she came from and her culture and tradition . moreover , after she came back to Iran she start to show what she had learn and how living abroad had effect her . she start to use her knowledge and experience with her society . basically and in few words this book shows us how this Iranian women had life and how she face her problem before she came from iran and after . so in my opinion and believes I believe that this book give an very good example of how people face their problem  and what might student face while they are abroad and how can person live in different society  were is surrounded by this new culture and tradition I really enjoyed reading this book and I really recommend that  people read it and knew about it

my argument essay

In our modern world , governments and countries are trying to develop themselves and develop their citizens at the same time . The reason behind that is so  they can take place and compete with the most developed countries in the world . What I mean by compete is in many ways like health care, well paid jobs and education . As you know, education plays a very important role in our world . Moreover , education includes learning other languages so people can communicate with each other from all over the world. thus There is no doubt that  English is a global language and learning English help people to communicate with each other. However , a lot of people disagree with me by saying that learning English in useless. but one of the best examples is Middle East and what they are doing to educate their citizens so they can get the benefit of learning English. basically global english help the world community to develop and i believe it will take the world to better place .

First of all , today in middle east we can see that companies and education ministries are sending their citizens abroad and paying a lot of money so they can communicate in English.  If we ask ourselves why, the answer will be because today English plays a very important role . wherever you go, you will see that there is a lot of people speaking this language . could you imagine that there would be a country that doesn’t communicate with the other part of the world? how would people communicate with people who speak other languages ? so in a few words English is very important and it helps citizens to communicate with people from all over the world

Secondly , as you know, the Middle East’s economy is growing day by day, and some people say that the reason is oil . but I totally disagree with that, and the real reason is that people are communicating and educating themselves by going to other countries like the united states and the united kingdom . people are getting experience and knowledge and what has helped them is the English language.  So basically learning English helps the economy and helps educate the people in the same time

Last but not least  , learning English give the opportunity to people to work in other country . For example, if your country doesn’t have a well paid job you can go and work in other country where you will get well paid job and one of the requirement that companies ask for the number of language that the employee speak . As you know the much language do the employee speak the more well position he will get

In conclusion, learning English is something very important for our life because in help the society  and the economy in the same. Although some people disagree with me by saying that learning English is some thing should be enforce in school and universities

Speechless

In the darkest age of earth where there’s no happiness lived a lonely woman called shaniqua. She lost her husband, son, daughter and beauty because of a curse that was casted on her and her family by a witch called Mercedes.

Mercedes gave Shanique the hardest choice of her life to choose between her family and beauty. Shanique lived in sadness and loneliness for many years but she had the choice to choose. Finally she chose beauty instead of her family but unfortunately she didn’t realize that beauty has an end.

 After years of being beautiful shanique did not find anyone to spend time with so that means she spent the whole time alone with no one to make her happy.  At the end shanique regretted her choice of beauty she wished that she could go back in time but she can’t unfortunately. She lived and died alone with no family or anyone to talk to. The End  

Moral : from this story we have to understand and realize that family is very important in every person’s life and cannot be re  placed by anything.
