Come back to Afganistan

Where do you "belong"?
Where do you not feel like you "belong," even though it might make sense (geographically, culturally, etc.) for you to do so?
What makes the difference?


Sometimes, I feel that I do not belong anywhere. I came in the U.S. about three years ago. Before, I was in Korea, so I was used to Korean culture. However, when I came to the U.S., I started to learn a new culture. Now, I am used to American food, language, and life style, but I did not grow up here, so I do not know and understand your culture totally. I feel that I am a foreigner. On the other hand, when I went to Korea over the summer vacation, I did not feel that I belonged to that society either. I was used to American culture, so I was disoriented. For example, I am one year behind my old friends, so while they were preparing for the SATs, I had just finished my sophomore year. In addition, if I want to go to the markets in Korea, I can walk. However, in the U.S., I need a ride to go anywhere, but I felt uncomfortable asking for a ride. American and Asian's cultures are totally different, so I feel that I am an alien everywhere.

Character in Of Mice and Men

I like Lennie. He was stupid and he forgot everything easily but he was nice and innocent. He killed rats and he hurt other people. He did not know how to treat people and pets, so that is why he got troubles. George always helped Lennie but Lennie also helped George. George was alone, so when he started to take Lennie, George felt better. In addition, Lennie was strong, so he fought with other people instead of George and other farm workers. Lennie did not how to control himself and he could not learn, so he did stupid things and he made troubles. However, he had nice mind and he was a good man. Therefore, I like Lennie in this book.

Define "euthanasia."

Define "euthanasia." Then defend or condemn the practice and explain your opinion.

Euthanasia is killing animals or people who is impossible to live or to be better. I think that it is not bad. For example, animals cannot talk, so if they are sick then we cannot know how much they are suffered. People, who is sick so they cannot wake up, do not anything but they can breath so they need some equipment to keep their lives. Therefore, we do not know their opinion. Some patients wants to die because they cannot wake up and they cannot do anything. In addition, it takes much money for equipments so if people are poor then it will be hard for them. Therefore, I think that euthanasia is okay for people who left and patients and animals.
