Basically you learn from some one older than you from the moment your born until the time you will die. But its not always like this, even kids will give you a valuable lesson one day.

My Thinking Map

Anticipation Guide, To Kill a Mockingbird

1) All individuals standing trial in a court of law deserve to be defended.

I agree because every human should be defended, “human rights”. It is a problem thought when they have evidences and they can prove that the man who is being trial is guilty but even though everyone knows that, the eternizes job is to defend him. Unless it is a homicide and there is witness who’s been at the place where the crime has been done. Then they should just kill the guy or put him in jail, it depends on the level the crime is considered.

4) African Americans in the US are a fully integrated sector of the population.

I Dissagree, obviously African Americans are not at the same level of society as the White people, and I do not mean that that’s the way things are. That’s the way everyone sees it, my opinion is that they should considered as we are but many people are racists and they just hate to see them as high as white people in society.

Agree/Dissagree Statements

Money equates happiness - Dissagree

I dissagree with this tatement because many people who are rich are depressed or just dont have a healthy life.

But also in the age of 16 all you need is money so you can do what ever crazy thing you can think off.

But also I really prefer to have a healthy family instead of money.

Like the Lead Singer of Nirvana, he had fame, money but he was depressed because of a girl... at the end he killed him self.

Good looks and personality will outweight social class and backround - Agree/Dissagree

I somehow agree but that doesnt always work, many people who hate other countries or relegions might get very affected and just hate people because of where they come from, but most of the time its because of the value of the other person and what you feel about them.

Also in now days, it doesnt really matter what your parents say about the one you will marry, I mean, it might affect your choices but certainly you wont do what ever they want. Its how and what you feel that will make the difference.

"Work of art" Gist Statement

"SASHKIN" he shouted with a worry on his face, he run up to him but it was too late. The car who hit Sasha had run away and the boy was ling down in the middle of the road with out a heart beat or a single breath coming out of his cold body.

The pool of blood that started to form was slowly starting to freeze, it was in the middle of Christmas vacations in Moscow and so the weather was very aggressive.

Luckily Uhov was around, his best friend. They were like twin brothers, not physicaly though, they met at school at the age of 6 and until now they were raised together like brothers.

Because of the immense trafic Uhov took him carefuly but fast to his father which happened to be one of the best doctors in Russia.

Family and friends came to support him and they were all so gratefull that Uhov happen to be there at the right time, but also embarrassed that they could not repay the doctors debts.

Of Mice and Men

Feeling responsible for someone can be a burden.

I agree, one big burden is teenage pregnancy, if you do the mistake and stay pregnant there is no way your life will be the same anymore unless if you decide to give away the baby which is harsh and cruel at my opinion. You cannot study in a University, you cant go out with your friends and you just cant leave the baby out of your sight. Its obvious that a baby is a big responsibility and that it will keep you away from your friends. It also wont let you have the freedom as a teenager, as a teenager you will want to go out, to places to have fun, a baby in that age will seal that opportunity.

It is more acceptable for women to love their female friends than it is for men to love their male friends.

Dissagree, men can love their friends. If your whilling to sucrifice something for you friend that is love. Love for your friends is a different thing than girls when they love their girl friends. They call their friends girlfriends, they also sleep together, if two guys do that everyone would think they are homosexual, even if two guys touch people might think that. But it also depends on the region you are from, and what your beliefs are.

There are times when euthanasia (mercy killing) can be justified.

I agree that it can be justified, in WW1 and WW2 they used to do this to their soldiers if they had certain death but they were suffering, they also used that on horses. And also they use this on really sick people and old people in the hospitals, i believe its better than having them suffer, now days its their call if they want to die in the hospital, and its called to turn the plug off. It is more merciful than having a human suffering to death which i believe no one would want for their selfs. I even see some old people that they are suffering and I say inside me that it is better for them if they die instead of suffering and strugling for it to live.

Agree/Dissagree

1) Weather and our surroundings can change our mood.
- I agree because when its raining I get sad, and if your surrounded by people with bad mood you will get sad. When its sunny outside though most of the time everyone is happy. If you live in a world with out colorful things you get sad and you hate the whole world. People might be like this because everyone has something that makes them happy, it might be the weather or a person and if they dont get to see that a lot they feel sad.

2) Difficult to stay 24 hours with out food.
- It depends if you are used to it. If you eat a lot your stomach is big but if you stop eating it will get smaller. You can also feel week and sick if you are used to food and you suddenly stop. Its all about the daily routine you follow.

3)Going through a difficult time makes a person more mature or more confidence.
- Agree because if you dont have much fun and you dont think positive while you are in a difficult time. You also get more confident because if you pass that difficult time and you find your self in another one you will say that "I did this before. Ill find a way" and it gives you more experience and more confidence, it also makes you tougher.

4) The love of money is the root of evil.
- I agree because money cant bring you happiness, it can destroy you. Money starts war, and you can loose your money from debts. It can make people jealous of you and they will try to kill you. Many rich people get depressed because they cant buy love or happiness! They basically destroy their lives.

Agree/Dissagree

Everyone should read books:
Agree, everyone should read books because books make you smarter. They help your literature and your knowledge. Your vocabulary becomes rich and you have more ides about your life and in school.

Literature can me dangerous:
Agree, it can be dangerous to some countries that are strictly censored. Books can change your way of thinking, not always in a good way. People can imitate characters they find in books or can get bad ideas. Of course there are books that have bad words which kids can learn and say to the others and often get in trouble.

Advance technology is good for everyone:
Disagree: technology can be good but not always. Computers especially, they are the best way for getting information about everything. They make your life easier. But they can also destroy your life. They can make u addicted to them and not study or work for school or your job and create problems in your life.

Twister Film Critique

Hello, my name is Barney Stevenson. I study weather for 15 years and I have a lot of experience in Tornadoes, Hurricanes and Typhoons. Many cities and villages got attacked by a huge deadly possibly tornado. My mission is to locate a tornado and observe it from inside, its quite dangerous but that's why I love my job. As you know from my series in Discovery Channel "Danger" is my middle name.

Two weeks ago I was a witness to an F five tornado, it was humongous, unfortunately I wasn't able to join the squad and go inside the amazingly destructive weapon of nature. My car was broken down from the last ride in to a tornado. F four though, my car couldn't stand the F four so we would need a miracle to survive the power of the F five.

The director of the movie has done a great job, even though some of the parts weren't real. Its a fact... you cant stand in the middle of the tornado, especially if its an F five and stay on the ground. In the movie two people stayed under some wooden bridge and they survived. An F five can tare apart houses and buildings and cant brake a tiny bridge?

The real science in the movie was the weather and maybe the machine that they wanted to scan the tornado. Even though it was kind of weird, it looked fail because I never saw something like that in a TV show, they never talked something about that.

Asian Religion

All adult Muslims are required to offer Salat prayers five times daily. Most mosques will organise a time of prayer for each of the daily timeslots.

In addition to holding the daily prayers, mosques hold weekly jumu'ah services as an adaptation of Sabbath, which replace the midday prayer on Fridays

The Cholistan Desert

The Cholistan Desert is also known as the Rohi Desert. It is situated in the Punjab region of Pakistan and is the largest desert on the Indian continent.

The word Cholistan comes from ‘Chol’ which means desert in Turkish, but it could also come from 'Cholna' which means moving.

About 2.5 million people live in Cholistan who are nomads and travel around the desert, looking for water and herding and trading camels. The people live a very simple life and are very religious. They still keep their primitive customs and traditions and place great value in music and singing. They have a very strong culture with many romantic legends dating back to ancient times. The women and men both wear baggy, embroidered and colourful clothes. They have fabulous desert festivals where you can see camels dancing and wearing even more colourful clothes than the people. People still live in houses made of mud and straw just as they did 200 years ago.

The Cholistan people make interesting handicrafts such as wall hangings, bed covers, carpets and blankets with bright colours and beautiful patterns with geometric designs.

The desert expands over to Sindh and into India. The dry bed of the Hakra River runs through the area. When it dried up so did most of life there. Wildlife is scarce. Wild cat, jackal, wolf, squirrel, field rat, over 200 types of insects and as many as sixty varieties of snakes are found here.

The desert also has an Annual Jeep Rally, known as Annual Cholistan Jeep Rally.

It lies at an altitude of 400 ft. above sea level and covers an area of 23,500 sq. m. Temperatures range from 8º C in winter to 34º C in summer. There is very little rainfall in the area averaging about 3 - 5 inches annually. During the wet season the people built shallow reservoirs to catch the rainwater so that they could survive. Cholistan is changing because a canal system has been introduced.



Places of interest include the Derawar Fort where the tombs of the ex-rulers of Bahawalpur and their families are situated, and Shrines of Channan Pir.

Shabanu Anticipation Guide

It is possible to experience love at first sight.
I agree, it is possible to experience love from first sight. Many people have experienced that feeling from first sight; it might be like that because the other person that you saw for first time has the same personality or character with you. You can also feel an attraction between you and him/her. I also know people that happened to him. Well I don’t personally know them but from Television, like Steve Erwin!!! He got loved with his wife when he saw her for first time.



Two complete strangers stuck on a deserted island could learn to love one another (and yes, stay with one another after being rescued).

I disagree with this statement. Because there is no way to fell in love with someone that you got stuck in the same island. There are many ways to not like a person when you stuck in an island with him/her. One of them is that you don’t like her/him, and you just don’t want to be her/his friend for some reason. If it was me I wouldn’t want to get in love with any person that I am stuck in an island because, I might now like the person and why would I want to get in love with her?


It is a good thing to sacrifice your happiness for the desires of others.

I agree with that statement, if it’s a person that I like or love why not, especially if it’s a member of my family or a really close friend of mine. Many people would do that because it’s just normal, but it depends on how you think or feel for that one person. Sometimes it it’s a good thing to sacrifice your happiness for the desire of the others. If its actually worth it why not do it?!



Women in your society are free citizens.

I disagree, and I disagree with that because, no one is a free person in this community. Everyone has to follow rules. Women are like men, they are free to do as much as men can do. No one can go and steal items or do something they want or they thing right. If you do so you can get in big trouble. So… no one is a free citizen now on. You must follow certain rules!

Composition- The Outsiders FIlm and Novel Critique

I liked the movie better because I like to visual things. The book was more detailed and that's not bad. I personally don't like books but this one was one of the best and few books iv' read!
Also one thing that I didn't like about the movie is that, to make this movie they cut a lot of important scenes that were in the book.
And with the book you imagine characters with your self and that's one thing I like with the books but the movie had more action less talking and cool character!
Well to tell the truth, this is one movie and one book that you cant compare! They were both great and really creative.
