He claims that he does not save the enough money to support the family. He told her he is under pressure, and do not want to be forced to get married. In reply, the author told her although the economic market crashed recently, many couples still manage to get married. She must figure out he more cares about her, or more concerned with his own bank accounts. As a grown man, I enjoy the author’s reply and cannot agree with her boyfriend’s behavior. As for me, I will try to give my girlfriend a wedding as good as possible. Maybe it is not the best one, but it is definitely the most precious memory for the bride.

The level of respect and equality women in Egypt held was rarity of that time in comparison with other ancient societies. The women in ancient Greece were seen as property, with a sole purpose of childbearing. They were controlled by the male head of the family, expected to carry out domestic duties and stay silent, with no legal identity of their own. They were guarded at home by male chaperones and not allowed to leave the house without their heads covered and a minimum of three garments. Mesopotamian men were increasingly controlling of women over time, in order to protect the legitimacy of family heirs. Women were expected to be virgins at the time of marriage, and casual socializing among married men and women outside their homes was forbidden.

America has always been a place where people from all over the world have strived to travel in hopes of creating a better and more promising future for themselves. In today’s classrooms, teachers are experiencing the culture and language related effects of that endeavor. With an increasing amount of non-English speakers entering the country each year, the population of students who speak English as a second language or no English at all increases as well. Not only are these students entering with knowledge of another language but they also enter with the history of another culture. These students are taught and raised to love their traditional languages and cultures. To take these aspects away from them in order to make them understand our way of life is not fair nor is it educationally beneficial. Some say foreigners need to assimilate because they are entering our country and by trying to accommodate their tradition, schools will end up hurting American students’ educational progress. This is not found to be true in as many cases as one would think though. By incorporating home or second language and diverse cultural exploration in combination with Standard English and American culture into the classroom, all students will benefit in multiple areas of learning and life.

Then she meets Ambrose, a charming and easy going boy who seems to have a new girl everyday. When he gets a job working with Louna and her mother, she is furious, but as time goes on she starts to think that maybe he is not as bad as she originally thought.
