Camp Harmony (:

5. INTERPRET- HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE THE MOOD OF THE PPL ON THE BUS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE JOURNEY TO CAMP HARMONY? AT THE END OF THE JOURNEY?
In the beginning paragraph the author described the bus being gravely silent except for the crying of the baby and the singing from the university students. I think that the people on the bus were having anxious feelings. There was a little burst of excitement, but there were also stress covered inside the vehicle. Maybe people were wondering what they would encounter and what would they deal with situations differ. They just probably thought too much. (:
At the end of the journey, when they all went out of the bus and into Camp Harmony, the anxiety present  before had somewhat disappeared. The excitement was larger now. They even felt fortunate to have a room and cheered loudly.

MIXED ECONOMY

            Imagine a world where you have to obey other people’s orders even though you do not want to. Or a world where everyone can do whatever they want to do freely, which leads to complete chaos. Sounds bad, huh? Well, mixed economy is a combination between those two worlds; it contains the positive features of both. The government gives their people the rights to decide for themselves while watching over them, therefore, it affects people’s lives positively.

            First of all, mixed economy gives their citizens freedom. Every single person has the right to decide what they need, and does not have to be forced by anyone. Although, people might not know what to do and get stuck, but it is a good idea to just let them figure it out on their own, without depending on anyone. For example, in the short story “Stop The Sun”, there was a war between Vietnam and the United States. Vietnamese people wanted to fight to protect their country when the Americans attacked, and they could, with the government approving. In the end, the Vietnamese won. This shows that they all had the rights to go up against what they hate and fight freely for what they love; and that is a positive thing.

            Second of all, it is safe. The government creates laws to protect consumers and manage produces and services. The government and the people make decisions together. All the materials that are exported and imported the country have to be examined and controlled by the government. For example, if a fisherman wants to trade his fish with someone else’s rice from another faraway country, he has to have the government’s permission. If the government finds out the rice is poisoned, the fisherman can’t trade. This proves that the government in mixed economy has good intentions of protecting their people. This is why USA has the best economy and life standard.

            Also, mixed economy is a major economy on Earth; it appears in most countries, including USA. The US has high inflation right now. The federal reserve bank just created new money to buy debt last year for the housing crisis. Their government, too, has made rules for their citizens to obey, such as the prices of the gasoline, employees, and other wages individuals earn. It has been trying to become a mixed economy. That was why the US was a very developed country.

            Mixed economy is a mixture between command economy (an strict, harsh economy ruled by the government) and market economy (a free economy where everyone has the right to decide). Mixed economy has a great effect on people’s lives by giving them freedom and protection. Everyone needs freedom to be happy, and to enjoy their lives but they also need safety; a mixed economy provides citizens with both so these benefits.

Response To Literature- WOW :]

     Our group- Jennifer and Anna - chose the story “The Wise Old Woman” by Yoshiko Uchida. It is a short story that tells a lesson- or moral- about ageism. The theme of the story is: Don’t judge people based on their age. Treat them with honor and respect, because that’s what they truly deserve.
     “The Wise Old Woman” is a story that takes place in a village in China. There was a cruel young lord that ruled over the area. He commanded his villagers to send away all the people who are older than seventy- one years old to the mountains and let them die there. He thought that all the old women or men have no strength, and that they are useless. Years passed; soon there were no old individuals left.
     There was a young farmer who lived in that village. He had a mother who reached the age of seventy- one. The farmer loved his mother; therefore he broke the rules and kept his mother in a small room in secret. Days passed, and Lord Higa of the town beyond the hills threatened to control the land if the villagers couldn't solve the riddles he gave them. The cruel young lord told his people so solve them, but they couldn't. The farmer came to ask his mother for help; and after three tasks, she solved them all easily. The young lord found out about it when the son told him, and canceled the mean order he gave. He figured out: even though old people didn't have strength, they still have the wisdom that most young people don't.
     The theme “Don’t judge people based on their age” tells people that we shouldn’t mistreat people just because they are too young or too old. That is what ageism means: regarding aged persons as unworthy, and unsuitable for attention. Elderly people usually get treated badly because others think they’re too old to do anything useful for them. However, that is wrong. Old people have more experiences they’ve been through their whole life, and therefore, they have more wisdom. Even if they don’t have strength like young ones, but they’re smart, at least. Elderly individuals are also human beings, too, just like every other person on this planet. And remember this: someday you’re going to be like them, no matter what- well, unless you die soon. It’s not fair for them to not be accepted just because they’re aged.
     There are some parts in the story that shows that old people- even female or male- is worth taking care for. On page two hundred and twelve, the young lord complimented the old woman: “’I have been very wrong,’ he said finally. ‘Never again will I demand that the old people of our village be sent to the mountains to die. Rather, they will be treated with the respect and honor they deserve and share with us the wisdom of their years.’” There was another one on page two hundred and ten, when the farmer told his mom: “’Mother, you are wonderfully wise.’” There were some other parts when the woman solved all of the questions, when none of the villagers can and all of them were surprised by the answers.
     Old people have tried to live up and spent their whole lives helping others, so they deserve respect and honor from other people. The theme “Don’t judge people based on their age” tells you a lesson to not make others sad, hurt, and behave with disgusted eyes, especially old ones. Deal with them the way you want younger children to act in front of you when you get aged.
