My reaction


When I saw the movie I like it because it talk about problem that concert any person who now about it, and it helped me to know about problem that I thought it will happen after long time, but after I watched the film I knew it that we may will face this problem and the results from it and if we didn’t face it our children will face it in the future. So I hope everybody in this world know about this problem and try to reduce it and solve it.



Why the movie called “An Inconvenient Truth”

The movie called An Inconvenient Truth because the people know about the problem of global warming but they don’t want to do anything. People don’t want to solve this problem because it’s may cause them a lot of changing their life style and spend a lot of money, so they don’t want to know about the truth.

Eye on Lebanon






Lebanon is Arab country located in the Middle East. It's surrounded by five ciountries Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Israel and Cyprus. It was called in bible the city of milk and honey. The most important city in this country is Beirut and some people called the city the Paaris of East.



In 1943 Lebanon gained independece from France. in the same
time, Christians lebanese held the balance of power and the Muslims had little in the running of thier country. In 1975 the tensions between the Christians and Muslims bolid over when a member of radical Christian group attacked and killed a bus full of Palestinians in Beirut. After that the revenge killing and violance began to spiral out of countrol all over the country. Then in 1982 the Isreali army attacked and invaded Beirut to remove the "PLO" Palilestinian Liberation Organisation because the organiastion was launched attacks against targets in Israel. the civil war in Lebanon ended in 1989 by lebanese leaders by an equal offring a balance betweem Muslims and Christian in a new lebanese parliament.



After that the country tried to recoverd from that war. So now Beirut became one of the top cities in the world for the number of car, the city have a great night life and the most important thing Beirut become great city for tourist. However the country have some problems like the pliotion is high and the pills like phone and electricity are expensive.

Crowds flock to monkey ‘wedding’


Last Thursday in a village called Ghanteswara, about 3000 Indian villagers attended a monkey wedding. The bride was dressed in long sari like a human bride. And the groom was taken by procession to the temple with hundred of onlookers, accompanied by loud music and fireworks. The people who came to the wedding gave the couple some gifts even they gave them gold necklace. Now the couple be released and now they live in the temple where the marriage took place.

In my opinion this is silly thing to have a big wedding for the monkeys. Especially if the villager were poor. And I think it’s better if they did a group wedding for the single villager.
