Planning for a purchase

2010/10/26

Item: I-pad

Price: $829

Jobs I can do:

1.Baby sitting($15 an hour)
2.Take a walk with neighbors' dogs($15 an hour)
3.Teach my younger brother($20 an hour from my parents)

My estimate of time:

 Baby sitting 3 hours a week + taking a walk with neighbors' dogs 2 hours a week + teaching my younger brother 3 hours a week= $135 a week. so I would earn $945 in 7 weeks. It would be enough for me to pay for thing I want and get $116 left.

How I will avoid temptation:

 I would only think of my I-pad I would get after 7 weeks and erase all the other things I have been longing for. And also I'd try not to watch TV commercial.

Character Connections

Character I chose: Caroline Bradshaw

Discriptive Traits: 1.Popular 2.Selfish 3.Kind
How I can relate:

1. Caroline is very popular girl in Rass Island. Because she is pretty, smart, good at singing, just perfect. I can relate to Caroline in this way because I try to be perfect like Caroline.

2. Caroline is very selfish to Louise sometimes. I am also selfish to by brother. In this way, I think I am similar to Caroline.

3. Caroline is usually kind to everyone. I am not the type of a kind person, but I try to be looked kind, ar least. I can be related to Caroline with this.

GDP of two countries

Denmark
 GDP: $341.25 Billion /year
 GDP: $62,118 /year
 I chose Denmark for one of my countries. Denmark has a quite high GDP and GDP per captia per year. Denmark is surrounded by many developed countries such as England, Germany and France. These advanced countries would have effected a lot to Denmark and make Denmark developed as well. By looking at this point, we can see that the loction makes the country developed of undeveloped.






 Mongolia
GDP:$5.26 Billion /year
GDP per captia:$1,991 /year
 I chose Mongolia for one of my countries. Mongolia has a really low GDP and a low GDP per captia as well. Mongoia is a dried country. So there are actually not many things to produce there. By looking at this point, we can know that whether effects the GDP of the country.

My solution

Option 1

If I was caroline, I would first think what Loise's problem is. It wouldn't be hard to know that Loise is jealous of me(Caroline). I would feel very terrible. I would wish loise to be  just the same as me so there wouldn't be any differences between me and her. To solve this problem, I would try to talk to Louise. But I can be sure that she wouldn't allow me talk with her. So, I would write the letter having my real thoughts and feelings to make my sister moved. If my sister seems to be impressed with my letter, I would talk to her really carefully and not hurt her feeling. And then, I'd persuade her and everything would be okay.
(Maybe not this easy..........)

Conflicts in the novel

                           Character vs. Self

This is the picture of a womwan dispressed of herself.

Maybe, she has a low self-esteem, just like the main character

in 'Jacob have I love'.

Louise has a low self-esteem. She is dipressed about herself.

Character vs. Character

This is the picture of two people fighting.

They might have conflicts between them.

It looks similar to relationship between Loise and Caroline.

Character vs. Nature

 This is the picture people getting disadvantages by nature.

In this novel, hurricane hits Rass Island.

And by the hurricane, many problems happen.
