I believe the I am fortunate to live in the US. I have freedoms that teens in other countries do not have. When I go to bed I am full and know where my next meal will come from. I am getting a good education and it is at a public school. My family does not have lots of money but I can have things that I could live with out. My parents love me and have time to spend with me because they are not working 24/7 to provide for me. I have a bright future and anything is possible as long as I work for it. No one will tell me no because I am a girl and my place should be in the kitchen. =High Income Living Conditions: Britain= Primary Source: [] Person Researched: Craig aged 10 years  Story/Description: He has a mom ,dad and younger sister.His family has a car, a computer, a color television with a dvd player, a washing machine, dishwasher.Both of his parents have cell phones and he is hoping to get one soon.In his free time he enjoys to play on the computer,skateboarding,and playing with his pet rabbit sooty.His family has running water hot and cold water.

Paragraph Analysis: Noah's story stays true to the information that I found. Only 68.9 percent of people over the age of 15 can read and Noah said the school was not build till 1996 and not all the students go. His family is poor and so are the other families because they do not have the modern conveniences that we have in America. He has brother and sisters it did not say how many but living in the country he will have a lot. With their neighbors living far off the family will take care of the farm and the more people the less work each will have to do.His family is not rich or middle class they are poor but can feed him.

=Conclusion:= Hannah B. did Honduras for her Middle Lower country while I did the Philippines the two countries are the same in that they go to school but it is not the best and they do not always get as much food as they would have liked. Honduras has a GDP of 4,200 dollars while the Philippines has a GDP of 3,500. Honduras has a higher GDP than what the Philippines has.

Courtney M. did Bahrain for her High country while I did Britain. Both our countries lined up in that the children that grow up in the countries live about the same life as American children. They come from families with money compared to other families they seem poor but they have all their needs met while they go beyond. There is the cell phones,cars dvd players i pods and other technology.
