Messias is ten years old living in Brazil who speaks Portuguese. Children in Brazil go to school from the ages of 7 to 14, many times they walk to school. Messias will finish school in four years. The typical school day lasts four hours and the students wear uniforms that consist of t-shirts with the schools name on it. Her family is of the roman catholic religion. For breakfast she eats fruits such as melons,grapes, pineapples,Brazil nuts ans locally grown palm fruit. Three fourths of Brazilians like Messias live in cities on the coast.

However, Sixty percent of Brazilian homes have no toilets or drains, fifty two percent have no waste collection, and seventy percent have no running water. Story/Description: Her story tells of her everyday experiences with school, everyday shopping for food and how things are payed for.

Paragraph Analysis: Despite the statistics of Brazil being well off economically they still have some struggles. I was surprised to find out that many people living in Brazil do not have plumbing running water or toilets. It was interesting to see that even though Brazilians are classified as having middle upper living conditions they still have econimic struggles.

Story/Description: The everyday meal for people living in Honduras is as follows. The typically eat fried beans and small, thick usually handmade, warm corn tortillas. A farm worker's lunch would probably include a stack of tortillas and some beans with salt. The main meal "includes fried plantains, white cheese, rice, fried meat, a kind of thickened semisweet cream called //mantequilla// , a scrambled egg, a cabbage and tomato salad or a slice of avocado, and a cup of sweet coffee or a bottled soft drink." The meals are typical in homes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner year-round.Fifty four percent of people living in Honduras are actively working in agriculture Many of them are smallholder farmers. Many farmers try grow their own corn, beans and plantains. In order to raise raise a cash crop. The dependance on the location of living has a direct correlation to what they raise cash crop on. (valley, the mountains, or along the coast) They may raise cash crops of cattle, coffee, cabbage, citrus fruit, tomatoes, beans, corn or other vegetables. There is a wide range of classes in Honduras. Educated, professional people and the owners of mid size businesses make up a group with a lifestyle similar to that of the United States middle class. However, some professionals earn a few hundred dollars a month.Urban workers tend to live in homes they have built for themselves, gradually improving them over the years. Their earnings may be around $100 a month. //Farmers// may earn only a few hundred dollars a year, but their lifestyle may be more comfortable than their earnings suggest.  Paragraph Analysis: Based on the paragraph it seems like people living in Honduras are not extremely poor. However there are places and people that are more poor than others. It is people and clubs such as Interact Club that help the poorer parts of Honduras. For example when Mr. Brady's club adopted a school from Honduras. The club gave them school supplies and other necessities to help boost the learning and literacy rate for the children living there. Like many countries there are hge gaps between the rich and the poor and only a few things are being done to tighten the gap. = =

Paragraph Analysis:

=Conclusion:= Living in other country is not always what you think it would be. From researching other countries and learning more about them I have come to the conclusion that I am very fortunate to be living in the United States. Recalling he move that Mr. M showed us on uTube not too long ago is what many teenagers my age often think about. For example in the movie there was a girl who was complaining about how her ipod did not have enough memory and she needed a new tooth brush. This video showed how much we as Americans take for granted. We worry about what we are going to eat while their are other people worrying what they are going to eat.
