When we think about the life in a city or the life in the country, we have certain opinions about this topic. On the one hand there are people, who live in a country, who want to have more action and a better party life, so they want to life in a city. But on the other hand there are also many people in a city, who want back to nature and more silence, so they want to live on the countryside. So witch is the better place to live? City or Country?
Let‘s compare a city and a country life and take a look at the positive aspects of living in a country. Fist of all there is clean and fresh air and you have wonderful nature around your house. You can make sport, you have much of happy animals in your life and people who live in the country are less stressed.
One disadvantage of country life is that public transports are rare and the way to another village can be very long without a car. There are also not very much places to meet other people so its not easy to get to know new friends.
Also city life has positive and negative aspects. One positive aspect can be that it‘s very easy to come from „A“ to „B“ that makes you flexible and brings me to my second positive aspect, that you have in a city never the problem to meet friends.
Negative aspects are for example much traffic, no good air, the stress and that it‘s always laud around you.
To conclude I can‘t say witch life is better, everyone have to make there own choice of place he/she want to live.

My Style
I think my style is quite normally, although cloths are very important for me. In School I wear the most of the time the same few T-shirts and the same trousers. At home I always wear very comfortable trousers and shirts and I never wear socks at home because I hate them. But when I go out in the evening to make party with friends or when I have a date with a guy, then I need quite a long time in the bathroom and I have to call a friend to talk about the cloths I wear tonight.
I don’t think that I belong to any youth group. I have my few friends and I mostly do what I want. I live my life like I think it’s the best way to live a life. I don’t look on money, it doesn’t interest me what people think about me except my friends and I don’t like to spend much time ant home. I like it to travel a lot even if it’s only to Linz for a weekend. I like watching TV and I enjoy it to cook for myself and friends.
It’s very difficult to describe what music I listen to. I like very much different tips of music but artist I always can hear are Jason Mraz, Coldplay, Mia and IAMX for example. Music is very important for me. If I am sad I have to hear something that makes me cry and if I am lucky I have to hear something that makes my heart dancing.
There are not very much things in the world which influences me. One of the things which could influence my life are my friends or another one is good music. I can’t understand why so much peoples are influenced by there marks they get in school. Of course I am happy if I got an A in a test but this feeling is after a few minutes away. The same with bad marks, there are people in may class who could cry the whole day only because he/she got a bed mark.

BOOK REVIEW
“The perks of being a wallflower” is written by Stephen Chbosky born in 1970. It is one of the most popular coming-of-age stories from the 1990s. The book tells us the story of Charlie who is a high-school student. The Novel consists of letters from Charlie to an unknown person telling about his life.
Charlie is writing over his life as a wallflower. He gives a close-up look into his world, his friends, family, school, problems and experiences. There are things happened in the past, which he has to come over so he has the possibility to a fulfilling life. In the book there are much of serous themes like drug using, abortion, suicide, mistreatment, homosexuality, loneliness and much more. I think most of the themes in this book are timeless and also in our generation current. One of the main messages of this story I think has to do with staying true to yourself and that is one of the main parts of my life so that is maybe the reason why I like this novel so much.
What I really liked about the novel is how it wasn’t afraid to talk about controversial topic. It gets boring when you always read books talking about teens being perfect. I also like how we got a first person-perspective into the life of Charlie and the easiness to read. The book really makes you thoughtfully and I think now it is one of my favourite books.

Description of Charlie
Charlie is the main character in the novel “The Perks of being a Wallflower”. We don’t get to know the last name of Charlie, how he looks or where he exactly lives, but we know exactly what he is feeling and why.
When the book starts he is fifteen years old and in the he gets sixteen. At First he seems to be very emotionally, shy, intelligent, lonely and smart, but later in the book, Charlie’s personality change somewhat. He often cries for example of his sister, after the fight with the bully, about his dead aunt Helen, after the conflict with his friends because he kissed Sam instead Mary Elizabeth and about Bill, who left the school and who was Charlie’s favorite teacher. He has less of self-confidence. He started to take drugs without thinking about what could happen. He always does what other people tell him to do for example, Sam told him how he has to react in front of Mary Elizabeth, and he started smoking. In the book you get to know Charlie’s Friends Patrick and Sam witch are also important Characters. Patrick is homosexual and he secretly has dates with the quarterback, Brad, and Sam is a beautiful young gild dating Craig. Other persons who stand near to Charlie are Mary Elizabeth, his first girlfriend, his older sister and his brother. And at least Bill, the teacher, who becomes a important part in Charlie’s life.

Snow falling on Cedars (Task 2 Love)
In this text I will explain you the relationship between Ishmael Chamber, the local reporter and Hatsue Miyamoto, the wife of Kabuo.
When Ishmael and Hatsue were young children they spent a lot of time together and played very often. Although Ishmael was even eight ore nine we can see easily that he loves Hatsue with all of his hard, but we also can see that Hatsue does not respond this in such a strong way.
As grown-up they spent a lot of their time under a cedar tree and loved each other. It was a secret love, because in this time it was out of question that an American boy has a Japanese girlfriend. Under this cedar they had their first sex.
As the Second World War all Japanese had to go into an internment camp and so Ishmael and Hatsue had to separate. In this internment camp Hatsue wrote a letter to Ishmael and said him that it is over. After that Hatsue got to know her Husband Kabuo and married him.
Ishmael stayed alone for the rest of his life. After fourteen years he saw Hatsue in the court, because Kabuo had a trial. But she didn’t want to talk with him. I think she didn’t want to talk with him because she knows that he have still strong feelings for her. One day as it looked very bad for Kabuo, Hatsue asked Ishmael to help her husband. And he does. He found proof that Kabuo can’t be guilty and that was the reason that Kabuo became free. That is a good point in the novel where you can see that Ishmael loves Hatsue really. Because he want that she could be happy even with another man.
I think that is true love.

Task 1:
Dear Raphaela,
Last week I was in a art gallery and there I saw an incredible picture by Norman Rockwell called “The Problem we all live with”. The focus of this picture is on a young black girl with a white dress, white socks and shoes and a white ribbon. She is walking from the right to the left side of the picture and she is carrying two books and a ruler. On the left side of the picture there are two men in front of the young girl who are wearing suits and black shoes. The man in the foreground wears a gray suit and the man in the background wears a brown one. They all sow have a yellow band around their arms and on this band it …. “Deputy US Marshall”. In the background of the whole picture there is a wall. When you look closely onto the wall you can see the word “Nigger” which was wrote on the wall. On the right side there are another two “Deputy US Marshall” who are walking behind the girl. In the background you can see a tomato which was thrown at the wall and now the tomato is on the ground. When I was this picture my first emotion was sadness. I think the artist wanted to show us something about racial segregation, racism and race hatred.
Yours Mattias.
Task 2:
Hi. My name is Hans and I read your discussion about this photo. I think that all of you wrote such a nonsense that I can all sow add my trash.
I think nowadays everything is art no matter from which artist and whether it was intentional or not. Perhaps you don’t like everything, but it’s still art. This photo you are talking about and discussing is all sow art I think. But I don’t think it’s very good. It looks like a photo taken out of a garden magazine from may mother. It looks pretty nice but it’s not really good art like photos from Erwin Olaf. If you have time and most of you look like they have much time, visit the page www.erwinolaf.com and talk about that. I wish you a nice live.

About death
I think there are three big topics which belong to “death”:
1. What happens after death?
First, there are people who believed in life after death with a paradise or hell hand heaven. Second, others believe that everybody has a soul which is reborn in a different body like an animal, a flower or even a stone. Further, some people have a strong unshakeable faith that after death they will be a ghost, and finally, there are also people like me who think that there is nothing after death at all.
2. Near death experiences and reports:
From the past until now people have reported such experiences about near death and they’re very similar: a bright light at the end of a tunnel and beyond this there is a beautiful landscape. For this people it was like heaven and they could hear voices and they said that it was a moment of decision after that they return.
This idea can also be found in many religions. Even very young children ore blind people reported of such an experience. Many people report out of body experiences, they float above their body. Very few people report horror visions and they don’t want to talk about them they call it hell.
3. active/passive Euthanasia:
In my opinion passive euthanasia is alright and in some cases it also would be okay to allow active euthanasia. If a person is totally ill, he/she should have the right to make his/her own decision, but only if this person is in full possession of his/her a faculty.
