BR 1-9: Mother Teresa

"They asked her, ' How can we get world peace?' She answered, ' Go home and love your family.' "
(Adrian, 2006, p14)
This is Mother Teresa's word for the interview when she recieved the Nobel Peace Prize. She is a famous person in the would. She saved poor people and dying people.
I really respect her.She said this word, but she was away from her family when she is young, and didn't see them again. I think she loved the poor people live in her house as her family. If I went slam in calcutta in her position, I might save poor people but don't save dying people, but she talked dying people and made house for them. She didn't want to them die alone. I think dying is sad, but dying alone is more sad, and they are happy that someone is with them at last of them life. She tells us impontant things.

BR 1-6:Romeo and Juliet

"On happy knife,  this is where you will stay now.  Stay there, and let me die."
(William Shakespeare,2007,p.75)
This is words by the heroine, Juliet in the most climax scene. The strategy she planed was unsucceeded, and she sees  the figre of her darling, Romeo is dead. He was committed suicide from his  mistake she had died. She also committes suicide for catching up him with his knife as soon as noticed he is dead.
This is my favorite story. In this day, we are not in such situation so much, they falled in, so called, forbidden love. Their parents are dislike each other. It appears two of them as suicide, but I think that it would be indirectly that had killed each other in result, because they made each other feelings that they want to commit suicide for catching up each other. Powers of love are so fearful !

This is the happening after Columbus arrived on Americas and his son, Fedinand noticed the people treated cocoa beachocolats. At first, he mistaked it as almond.
