A different culture is the Asiatic Eskimos. They live in the upper part of Russia and up until the Soviet Union came into play were untouched by outside world but they did do a lot of trading with Europe. They regard them selves as peaceful and well-wishing people. Since they didn't have as much contact with other people there langue and culture is less phased by the Europe culture.

I'm about half way thorough The Color Purple by Alice Walker, this is the second time I have read this book. When I re-read books I feel like I get more out of them, I also feel more connected with the characters. In The Color Purple my favorite character is Sofia she is a strong independent women till the end. She doesn't change who she is for anyone, Sofia is so amazing in how she acts during the time period in she as a women had very little power. I love reading on how she finds power even when everybody is against her, how she finds strength with in to keep fighting.

My text about is the song The Resolution by Jack's Mannequin. This song is about hope "And I'm alive And I don't need a witness, To know that I survived." The back round is that the singer had cancer, so the song is about how he fought the cancer. I really like this song because is use read good metaphors for things, "To find my body is still burning," I think this represents when he was going though chemo because of the way it's like poison going though your veins. This song really shows how the positive thinking works.

The book that I'm reading is called The Blood Rites of Man. It's all about the right of man to go to war. I believe that going to war or not is a very important part of life. I now I'm not just talking about the big wars like World War One and stuff I'm talking about the war we have with our selves or with each other. I mean some times you just have to stop and think about conflicts, like is it worth your time to get in to conflicts? And also it's not all about winning the 'war' is about did you grow to be a better person? I believe that a lot of the time growing in to a better person may start by on getting in to the 'war' in the beginning. Some times it seems that getting into 'wars' may seem like that only way out of a situation, so then you have to make a choice of what to do.

I read a book called The Blood Read Horse by K.M Grant. The book is set during the time of crusades. It goes through starting when the chactor's are little and then when they grow up and become teens. It also folows the growth of Will's horse, who was a very small and weak foal. They didn't think the horse would live but Will stayed with the horse and nursed it. I really enjoy this book because it shows different side of the war's, one side shows the war and other shows whats going on at home. I really like this book because it seems like a good book for both boys and girls.

I'm reading a book called Freaky Green Eyes by Joyce Carol Oates. what made me pick up this book was the name, it just really stood up to me as a interesting book. I'm not very far into it but I really like the way it flows, how every thing is connected. I also feel like the reader doesn't know all the sides of the story, like there is still things we need to know to complete the connections.  I hope the book keeps up the edge that it's has.

One of the big things about natural disasters is the massive clean up they bring. After any disaster there is always a large clean up. When a natural disaster hits a Third world country they have to pay for the clean up, this puts them into billions of dollars in debt because of clean up. Not only do they lose money but also the lives of the people that live and breath there. The people who are the driving part of the work force.
