=High Income Living Conditions: Germany= Primary Source: http://silverinternational.mbhs.edu/v201/v20.1.07a.germany.html Secondary Source: NA Person Researched:Laura Calimiale

Story/Description: Laura loves her life and wouldn't trade it for anything. She is happy because this generation, the teens have pretty wealthy parents, who can buy them beautiful clothes, unlike generations before her, where the families had little money and not as big of a selection as they do today. One negative about this generation is, it is hard for teens to find work.

Paragraph Analysis: Laura loves her generation, but wishes they could find work. Laura lives in Germany, which is my high income living conditions country. Living conditions for her a very good, she loves her generation. Her generations' families are all pretty wealthy which contributes to their life expectancy because they can purchase better life insurance and pay for special treatments. This then contributes to the life expectancy being high and the literacy rate being high because the more money a family has usually means the better education and better health, so the people can live longer and have a better education.

Story/Description: Massiel lives in Panama. She dropped out of school after 6th grade to work at Coronado restaurant. She has been working there since she was 13. She is now 22 years old and still working there. She got abandoned by her husband while she was pregnant. She makes 280 dollars per month, which isn't that much to try and support her and her son.

Paragraph Analysis: Massiel lives in Panama, which is my middle-upper income living conditions country. She has contributed to literacy rate, because she dropped out of school after the 6th grade. Also, she only has one child so far, but living by herself with no husband, she will most likely not have any more children. She makes only 280 dollars a month which makes it very hard for her to support herself and her son.

Paragraph Analysis:

=Middle-Lower Income Living Conditions: Honduras= Primary Source: Secondary Source: http://chadandtrinabaron.com/2011/03/speaking-louder/ Person Researched: Osny Isabel

Story/Description: Osny was only six years old when her mother died. After that, she lived with her grandmother, brothers, and sisters. She got a job to help the family make some money. One day she was raped by some men and she got home and told her grandmother what happened, but she did not believe her. The her father came home, heard about her lying about being raped and then her father raped her to teach her a lesson. After this she ran away and is now living in the Eagle's Nest.

Paragraph Analysis: Osny is 16, misunderstood, and very hurt. She had nothing else to do except run away from her awful and untrusting family. Now she is safe, living in the Eagle's Nest. Osny lives in Honduras, which is my middle-lower income living conditions. Living conditions started off bad for her, but have recently gotten better. Her family was very big, which means the fertility rate is high. Also, means her family didn't have a lot of money trying to feed all her siblings. She had to get a job to help her family get some money. She was not educated, which is why she got a job at an early age. The life expectancy is very low in Honduras. Osny's mother died when Osny was only six years old.

=Lower Income Living Conditions: Liberia= Primary Source: NA Secondary Source: http://www.nytimes.com/1995/09/11/world/liberia-s-teen-age-soldiers-find-civil-war-is-over-but-so-is-hope.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm Person Researched: Lawrence Moore

Story/Description: When Lawrence was 15, he enlisted into Liberia's military. Due to fighting in war, he lost many things in his young life. He lost the very valuable adolescent years, sense of purpose, and most of all hope for the future.

Paragraph Analysis: Due to enlisting in the military, Lawrence lost many virtues many other 15 year old teens need, to live their life. Lawrence lives in Liberia, which is my lower income living condition country. Lawrence is a good example to support the graph. He is only 15 years old and is already in the military, which means he is most likely not educated, people age 15 already in war is not good for the country's life expectancy rate. His family is also very poor, which makes everything worse.

=Conclusion:= After researching these four countries, I realized how lucky I am that I am able to continue my education, instead of getting a job before I finish high school. According to Laura, living in Germany isn't that bad. They have just about the same stats in the graph that the United States has. According to Lawrence, Osny, and Massiel, living conditions i their countries are worse than they are in the United States, which you can tell by the table. Some things that Americans take for granite, education, food, a nice house, other poorer countries wish they had that stuff. That s why churches send missionaries to these countries. The missionaries spread religion, but they also try nd rebuild a village or help the people of that country in some way. Remember, we are lucky to be able to live here and don't take anything for granite because other people somewhere i the world wish they could have the stuff we have here in America.
