 * Person Researched:** Nicole


 * Story/Description:** Nicole is a young girl who is currently living in Australia. She explains Australia's location; it is located between the Pacific and Indian oceans, and is also a continent. The climate is relatively sunny and warm, and most of the civilization lives in homes along the coast. The "outback" of Australia is in the middle of the country, where the land is too dry to live off of. However, there are ranches there where cattle are kept. Canberra (a large inland city) is the capital of Australia. Nicole also explains that she has a pet kangaroo, which is unusual compared to other countries. In Australia, the people speak english, but some words are replaced with other ones or are pronounced differently. Nicole participates in a school similar to that of Americans, but it is called "the school of the air" because it is done over the radio and her exams and written work are sent by mail. The food is also similar to that of American culture, but some natives eat insects. Ancestry (British) and the way people dress can compare to that of people in the United States. Nicole later notes what Australians do as extracurricular activities. Going to the beach, surfing, watching fish, diving in coral reefs, watching operas at the Sydney Opera House, and playing cricket, football, rugby, and soccer are all enjoyable things to do.


 * Paragraph Analysis:** It is evident from the reading that the lifestyle of people such as a Nicole live a relaxed lifestyle. Many children in Australia participate in "schools of the air" which are similar to cyber schools in America; it is from their homes that they complete their work and exams. Dispite the fact that Australia's Income per capita is lower than that of America, it has a higher life expectancy, and almost the same median age.

 * Person Researched:** Messias


 * Story/Description:** Messias is a child from Brazil. He explains his favorite Brazilian foods which are fejoada and caipirinha. In his country, children go to school for a shorter time than in America, until they are about fourteen years old and it only lasts for four hours a day. The schools in Brazil also require uniforms to be worn, similar to private schools in the United States, and he walks to school each day. Messias mentions that the people in his country have different ancestry, including German, Italian, and Spanish. Less than one percent of the initial Brazilian people are left. Religions vary and Messias like many others is a Roman Catholic. According to Messias, Brazil is the leading producer and exporter of coffee. He notes that numerous Brazilians enjoy playing soccer and climbing mountains, especially climbing Pico da Neblina. Messias as well as most of the people in his counrty live in cities which are built along the coasts of Brazil. The capital city is Brasilia where Messias lives and nearby is the Amazon River and The Iguacu Falls. Other cities in Brazil include Rio de Janeiro (known for its scenic coast and festivals) and Sao Paulo, which is one of the cities with the largest population in the world. The main language in Brazil is Portuguese, and the alcohol there costs 40% less than gasoline. Unfortunately, many homes in Brazil are in poor condition and residents do not have clean, running water.


 * Paragraph Analysis:** It is evident from the article above that the living conditions in Brazil are exceptionally well because there is a range of education and cultural diversity. According to the chart, the income per capita in Brazil is much less than that of Australia and America. The median age, life expectancy, and literacy rate are lower than that of the higher income countries, however, the birth rate of children per women is more. This may contribute to the fact that many people in Brazil are living in poor conditions because they do not have enough money to support their families.
