- A PASSAGE TO INDIA -

Creative Stunts

We were told by our teacher to describe this picture (↓) 

1.     

Who is the person in the picture?
The girl in the picture is probably just a normal person living in India, on her way home from work.

2.       

     What is her profession?
I think her profession is something that require little bit higher education than other things. Since we can see the big building in the background I think she work on a office maybe. 

3.      

     Who is she speaking to?
The girl looks happy, she is probably talking to one of her friends or boyfriend, telling them how exciting and challenging her day at work was.

4.     

     Where is she going?
She is going home to her family. She lives only few blocks away, in a small, worn house with a sweet little garden.

5.      

     What is she thinking of right now?
She is thinking of how thankful she is to have all the things she have got in her life, such as friends, family, a nice place to live and a great education while there are thousands of people in her country who lives on the street. Now she is ready to come home and relax.

Checkpoint

I`m going to give each paragraph in the text a title:
"No easy way to independence", “ challenges in process”, “India, becoming a  modern country”, “ caste system”, “Education, the key to a better place” and “ A gap between poor and rich”.

1.     Rural – is related to farming, agricultural, country life and characteristic of the country.                 Urban – characteristic of the city, city life.

2.      In Norway, the different between rural areas and urban areas is difficult to see. The rural areas are have a lot of farms, agriculture and nature. These days we in Norway are using a lot more machines to help us with the work, while they in India use their own body, hands and animals to do the work. Urban places in Norway are the cities. In the cities, it is less green places and a lot of people and shops. Most of the people who live in Norway are settle close to the cities.

3.      “If everyone in the world consumed as much as people in industrialized countries do, we would need eight planets” Especially people in Europe and America live in a throw- away society, which means you buy new things all the time and throw away old things. When we do this, we use extremely many resources that we should spare for the next generation.

4.      I think the reason that some people want to live a simple life and go back to the nature is because they are tierd of the modern world, tierd of being surrounded by people and new technology. Perhaps they want to feel alone for a while and use the time to relax. 

5.      My top three priorities in life:
- My good friends and family <3
- live a life that makes me happy.
- School and afterward work.

ALAN TURING - weakness and strength

Alan Turing was the main character in the movie «The imitation game». As young, Alan Turing was an extremely smart and intelligent boy. He was very god at cracking impossible codes, and under the Second World War, he worked with braking Germans top-secret system, Enigma. As person, Alan preferred to be alone and work by himself. His lack of social skills, made his personality kind of weird and different from other. Although he was one of Britain`s most intelligent men, he lived a though life. Alan was homosexual, which was forbade in Britain in that time.

I think his biggest strength were that he was very patient with his work, and such a genius. The weaknesses that really made his life harder was the problem about being gay, and keep it as a secret, and his lack of social life.
