In English 10 we are reading a book called Nector in a Sieve. It takes places in a village in India. Their way of life there is so much different the life that i live today. Int he book they do many things to keep their culture alive. For instance they have erranged marriges, the main jobs for men are farming, it is better to have sons rather than daughters, the women do most of the cooking and cleaning and raising of the children; daughters are sent away with a gift of a dowry and expected to have children. In my life i have to do some chores, go to school and do good things. There are some similarities though, in both cultures we have a firework type celebration once a year, we both do some type of chore maybe not to the same extent, and everyone has and needs a job. I am not ordered to have children when married and i have a say in the person whom i marry. My family doesnt work on a farm and try and base our life style of the change in the weather. Alothough very different both culuters are the same in the most important ways like the shareing of love, food, shelter, and care.
