The directions of winds

FAISAL / EAP1

There are four directions of winds, and each one has different
meanings. There are also some people who believe that and some not.
It also depends where you are and what is your culture because each
culture has different thoughts of them. the author whose name is
Reed , M explained in(1993/4,December/February)that many people
have believes of the Demons’ gates and gates devil’s doors.
There are different descriptions for each direction and each
one has negative things and positive things. To begin with, the
meaning of the north wind is it brings cold and wet weather and it
is gloomiest. One of its negative it effects European because it
evokes death, darkness, and sadness. There is also positive thing
such as the ancient Egyptians think of it “ Lord of the sweet
breeze, so it depends where you are. The meaning of the south wind
is usually related with summer and good harvests, it increases a
slowing of life's tempo. It is known as rain and has a gentle
reputation, however it has negative which is in a native amarican
folk tale, the south was said to interfere with hunting. In the
east, it is the most dislike, harms crops and causes shipwrechs.
There are many do not like it due to its bad reputation but, in
fact, it still has a good things which are connected with spiritual
matters and rebirth. The meaning of the west wind is the best time
for fishing, storms, and a good weather, but it has a bad thing,
which is related with death and the afterlife because the sun comes
down.
In my country we have believes of the wind directions, but,.
In this time we do not have believes of the meanings of them. The
south of saudi Arabia is very hot, wet, and dry, therefore, we know
it brings hot winds and bad weather but, we do not say for example,
it is for death or something bad or good . The north of Saudi is
very cold, rain, cold winds, and some times snow. The east of Saudi
is very warm,wet, and it usually raining because it is close to the
beach. The west of Saudi is nice weather but, it is always warm, it
does not have any cold. In fact, in my country we have two seasons
which are winter and summer which mean we only cold and hot.
In conclusion, it is traditional way to figure out where the
winds come from and what do they mean?. In these time, most people do not use it , but we still have some people use it.

Modern Technology in Daily life

FAISAL / EAP1


There are many different ways to use communications, transportations, and entertainment in my country because they depend where you are and what time you were in. In my country we have a big differences between this time and the past year for using Communication, transportations, and entertainment. In fact, what I have seen is communication is most important because everyone use it every day whether use computer or cell phone or anything else could be communication.

First of all, the communications are most important for every one who does not know how to use them because at this time the person who does not know them he is probably uneducated. For example. When you wake up at morning and you want to tell you teachers that you will not attend to school you absolutely will use email or cell phone but, if you look at the past year what people were doing if they want to talk to their family they send latter and it takes about 7 days and it might delivery it might not, we have new technology in out daily life so, it is a big different between this time and past years. If you notice that no one can live without communications because whatever you go you will need them.

Secondly, transportations are also important thing in our life. There are many kinds of transportations such as, cars ,airplane, train, and so many kinds so, most people in this time usually use them however, in the past years they were using horses and camels so, if they want to move or travel to another city it takes about 8 days or mare than 12 days but, in this time in my country we have a good transportations and we can go whatever we want by them. In fact, we still have some people who are from rural city use horses and camels. If you look at your daily life you will notice that you use the new technology every day.

Finally, we have many different kinds of entertainment
In my country such as, soccer, and cards play which is very
Famous. Every one needs entertainment in his life because a there are a lot of free times after you finish you work or you classes so, you need to spend your time anyway or you might get sad. There are also many studies that say if person does not use entertainment he may not live longer and gets older than he is, therefore, they are good and useful for us.

In conclusion, most of people in the world use them because they cannot live and they are nothing without technologies. If you look at how the world has become like this due to them. In fact, we have really good new modern technology, but we are still looking and trying to have newer technology.

Johnny Cash

I went to the website that talks about Johnny Cash. He made songs for prisoneres. The site is very nice because everything is clear. It also contains photos and his story,and it shouws us Johnny's pictuers.It sells his shirt,so you can but it from the site. Most prisoners like him.,because he has nice emothion for them.

In my opinion, he is very popular in the U.S.A. He makes songs for criminals and he also makes prisoners feel good. I know he commited some crimes but they were not a big crimes. I like his songs because uses imaginative words. I would like if his wbsite was bigger than it is,i would love to know if the criminals wrote history about him when he died because i think they should write about him.

Killed Jesse James

I went to website that talked about how what Jesse James did and about how he was killed. He robbed the banks for about 15 years and he has experience robbing the banks. He has four brothers help him to robbe and he is popular in Missouri because he broke the law. Do you know how he was killed? The government said to the people who will catch him or bring him to us, we will give him money.SO, someone was excited to take money. that was the Ford brother. So he killed Jesse and brought him to the government. What do you think the government did to him? They said to, him did you kill him. He said, yes i did, and then the government put him in jail. Do you know why? Because all the residents of Missouri liked Jesse .

In my opinion, I like him because he is smart,brave,and famous. I am interested in how most of the people in his city like him. I think he usually gave the people something from he stole. Also, i think the person who brought Jesse to the government is not smart because he delivered Jesse to Missouri government and most of the people who lived in Missouri like him. Finally, i like the events that were when the person brought Jesse to the government.

SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS

I am reading Snow falling on cedars,which talks about the
relationship between two families which are the Miyamotos
and the Heines. The story tells us what happened between
them and what the problem was. In fact, the argument was
about Heine's land. do you know why? Heine agreed to sell
the land to Zenhichi Miyamoto, because they were a good
friends.But, what happened? Heine sr. died,his wife dose
not like the japanese,also,miyamoto was in the camp at
that time. So she did not sell the land to the Miyamotos.
After that, there were problems between them. The reason
they suspected Miyamoto's son whose name is kabuo, is
because learned Kendo and his ancestors were samurais.
they suspected him of murdering Carl Heine,Jr.



My favorit character from this novel is Ishmael
Chambers. He has one arm and feels bad about his lack
of trust. He knows the died man who is Carl Heine,
from high school and the accused man's family. He
has nice realationship with the accused man's wife,
her name Hatsue. He knew her before she got married
when they were 14 years old,and he really loves her.
In fact, They used to go to aprivate place and he
kissed her,and also they worked together. Finally,
I like him because he feels bad about his lack of
trust. So it is thing that worries him all the time.
But, actually he would love to be honest

The death of Ryan Livingston

I went to the website that talked about the death of Rayn
Livingston and how he died. So, he was 22 years old. The
police found him when he was still alive but he was bleeding
from his body, even though the police could take information
from him. He was attacked after he got out from a concert,
walking on West Walnut St, and he was killed in a robbery
attempt.

In my opinion, the story was very sad because he was killed
without reason, and i am amazed at why the police did not find
the suspects quickly. I hope the police found the suspects and
made a capital punishment.

AL CAPONE

I went to the website that talked about what Al Capone did and
how he became rich. So,he was in New York and then he went to
chicago.He worked with a bad group. They called him by a special
name. .He has many things like buildings and cars. So,he has a big
income. Finally, when he got a bad reputation he went to florida.

MY OPINION

The story was very interesting,because he became a rich man
in three to five years without jobs. I know he was a bad guy
but actually he is very a smart man and he has confidence in
himself. Right now all people know him as a man who broke the law.
