"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."

    Compare with Aesop and Maugham, I agree with Maugham. Because this world is very unfair. Nowadays, many people work very hard, but they get nothing. You needs to have a chance to prove yourself. Just like George, he worked hard for his whole life, but he still poor. So I think if you are smart, you do not need to be hardworking.

summary of the short story

  The story is about Tom and George. Their relationship is brother. Tom is a lazy guy, and he just want to have fun. But he is a handsome guy. George is a hardworking man. Tom left his family and went to find his lifestyle. When he didn't have money, he will borrow from his friends or George. But after George didn't give him money, Tom blackmail George. This made Geoge very angry. But at the end, Tom became a rich man since he married with a old rich woman. George was very angry about that. Because even he worked so hard, he still poor. But Tom didn't work, he became rich. It was unfair.

   The fable is a story about the ant and the grasshopper. The ant works very hard in summer for storing the food for winter. But the grasshopper is lazy and just sings in summer. In winter, the ant has many foods to eat, but the grasshopper doesn’t have any food to eat and go to ant’s house to ask for help. But the ant is very unfriendly and laughs on the grasshopper. The ant doesn’t give any food to grasshopper. Lastly, the grasshopper died.  In this story, we can know that if you work hard, you can have a better life.

the ant and the grasshopper

  After I read the story, I think that it is different with the Aesop fable. Although the beginning of both stories are very sammilar, the ending is totally different. Tom just like the grasshopper, he likes to have fun and don't like to work. And George just likes the ant, he works hard for his whole life. Tom left his family and his job, and went to find his lifestyle. He just like the grasshopper, singing all over the summer, and did't prepare for the winter. He plays for the whole life and don't perpare for the future. George just like the ant, work hard for the future. But the ending is different. Tom has a better life than George, since Tom married with a rich woman. And he didn't need to work while George works very hard. In this story, it told me that this world is very unfair, but we still need to work hard because not all people as lucky as Tom.

I am an ant

I like the ant more. Because it will think more about the futrue and it work very hard while the grasshopper was singing in the field. The ant will alive in the winter because it stored many food in the summer. And the grasshopper will die in the cold winter. I like the ant because it work hard for the future.

the friendship bond

I think that the idea of friendship is alive and well. In tha article, there are many research can prove that most of the people think that friendship is very important to them. Friendship is to enhance feelings of warmth, trust, love, and affection between two people. People will share their personal lives and feelings with their friends, such as failure at work, terminal illness and sexual activities. There are no striking contradictions between people's descriptions of actual friendship, their belief about friendship in general, and their perception of the rules that apply to these relationship. Although friendship is alive but many people still think that they are lonely.

    In my opinion, I think this story is boring. It just record that a story about a family, they went to the park, but they are unhappy at the end. I think it is not interesting and not exicting. When I read this story, I nearly fall asleep.

opinion, interpretation and summary of the article of Henrietta

   In my opinion, I like reading something about science because i am a science student. So I get interest in the problems about cells. I like the part that talk about how HeLa was borned and the story about Henrietta. And I can know how HeLa was.It was essential to developing the polio vaccine and went up in the first space missions to see what would happen to cells in zero gravity. Many scientific landmarks since then have used her cells, including cloning, gene mapping and in vitro fertilization. HeLa is very important to the world. But I don't like the part that how Rebacca find Henrietta's family. I think it is boring.

  Summary:
It is an article written by Sarach Zielinski. She was making some interview with Rebecca. In the article, first, she made some introduction about the book. Then, she used few questions to continue the article. Who was Henrietta Lacks. In this section, she introduced some background about Henrietta. Next, Why are her cells so important. There has bee a lot of confusion over the years about the source og HeLa cells. Why? How did Rebecca first get interested in this story? How did Rebecca win the trust of Henrietta's family? When did her family find out about Henrietta's cells? How did they do that? What are the lessons from the book? And for the rest of us? The author write down all the answer of those qusetions.
