=Middle-Upper Income Living Conditions:=

Secondary Source: http://www.escapeartist.com/efam6/living_in_Fiji.html Person Researched: Jaqueline D. Brown Story/Description: She warns of a lot of petty theft and to be careful whom you befriend. Getting a job was very hard. She got a teaching job in a school as an English teacher. She believes that Fiji is like the US 40 years ago. She has a non-flush "toilet" out doors that she can use. She is surrounded by Methodist Fiji locals and finds that a good time to go to the beach then is Sunday. Houses are expensive for an extensive stay but not in comparison to a New York City apartment.

Paragraph Analysis: It is scary to see that 3,600 out of 4,400 dollars made a year could go to renting a house for a year. They said they are in need of teachers would could explain part of the literacy rate. They still have a moderate level of advancement that makes them a good but low income country compared to the USA.

=Middle-Lower Income Living Conditions:= Secondary Source: http://showtime.arkansasonline.com/e/media/gallery/mi/articles/paradise.html Person Researched: Stevenson & Mother Dainah Amram

Story/Description: He left to have a better life in Arkansas. His streets made of crushed shell and coral. Lives in a small cinder block shack. Others made of plywood. Densely packed neighborhoods. There is little vegetation. They average eight people per house. There is much worry about the health of the islands after experiencing nuclear testing in the 20th century.

Paragraph Analysis: This would be a poor place to live. The health concerns alone are reason to not live there. The economy isn't great and there is a great scarcity of jobs. The sound of the poor housing and street conditions make me appreciate living in the United States.

Carries water to the house. They spend a lot of time caring for graveyards. He likes to play tag.

Paragraph Analysis: This is a truly impoverished country. The living conditions are very poor. The child shared very little modernity in his life. He has schooling but probably will never go to high school. This sounds like a sad closed cycle poor country.
