Now, in this post, I am going to talk about my favourite character. I willing be writing about Hari. I think he is admirable and pitiful. He is pitiful because he is a very young boy who is trying to help his family work and earn money to support their family. These are not just bad conditions, but they are very harsh for a very young boy with the same age as us.
But he is very admirable because hehe was able to work throgh the stress and cope with the harsh conditions. (although he left the village in the end to go to Bombay to look for a job).

The part I like the most is when Hari left the village. Hari had to make a very important choice of his life. This choice is almost the most important choice of his life. But he decided to go to Bombay what so ever. He decided to leave Lila by herself to take care of their mother and their sisters. This caused her and their sisters to be very nervous for him.

I think that sometimes it would be better to have traditional technology as compared to advanced technology.

One reason is that advanced may not be very environment-friendly. Now, children have been playing with modern gadgets like hand phones or the XBOX or the PSP. They would not have the chance to enjoy the most beautiful scenery of all. And playing with these modern playthings, they could harm the children's eyesight and get them short-sighted.

Another reason is that the modern people can have more convenience, when they wanted to search for information, they can just search for it on the internet. How ever , people using the traditional way of searching for information is to go to the library and search for the book that has the answer to your question.

I rather be the city rat than the country rat. Comment.

I would rather be the city rat because the city rat would not have to work a lot to scavenge for food as there are plenty of food in the city because more people are living in the city than in the country. As you can know, rats that live in the city are much more fatter than those who live in the country side, where only llittle people live and farm there.

In the country side, the farmers and family may have little money and food to provide for themselves. So the rats that live there would have to scavenge even harder to find food.

In the city, the rat that lives there would get better and more food than the rat that lives in the country side. Whereas the country rat would only have the same food everytime. The rat that lives in the city can slack around all day without working because they would have plenty of food to spare.

I am posting this as memorial for Michael Jackson's death.
Here are some information about him

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer and businessman. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he made his debut on the professional music scene in 1968 as a member of The Jackson 5. He then began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group and was referred to as the "King of Pop"in subsequent years. Jackson's 1982 album Thriller remains the world's best-selling album of all time, and four of his other solo studio albums are among the world's best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995).
In the early 1980s, he became a dominant figure in popular music and the first African American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and "Thriller"—widely credited with transforming the music video from a promotional tool into an art form—helped bring the relatively new channel to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made Jackson an enduring staple on MTV in the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced many hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists across several generations.
Jackson donated and raised millions of dollars for beneficial causes through his foundations, charity singles, and support of 39 charities. Other aspects of his personal life, including his often changing appearances and eccentric behavior, generated significant controversy which damaged his public image. Though he was accused of child sexual abuse in 1993, the criminal investigation was closed due to lack of evidence and Jackson was not charged. The singer had experienced health concerns since the early 1990s along with conflicting reports regarding the state of his finances since the late 1990s. Jackson married twice and fathered three children, actions which caused further controversy. In 2005, Jackson was tried and acquitted of further sexual abuse allegations and several other charges.
One of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records—including one for "Most Successful Entertainer of All Time"—13 Grammy Awards, 13 number one singles in his solo career, and the sale of 750 million records worldwide. At the time of his death, he was preparing for This Is It, a series of 50 concerts that would have been held in London beginning July 13, 2009.

I believe that the world is gravely surprised by his death so suddenly. I am too. We cannot acept the truth that our "king of pop" has died.
