“A bestfriend is like a four-leaf clover: Hard to find and lucky to have.” It is difficult to find someone who will love you, even if you’re the worst person alive. A bestfriend is someone who will never leave your side when the whole world turn its back on you. They accept, not only, your good side but also your flaws and imperfection. To have a true friend is rare achievement now a days. Now, if you have one then you’re a lucky person. And I guess, I’m one of them.

In my case, my bestfriend is my own cousin. She is, in a way, similar to me but also different at the same time. To start with, we are alike in the sense that we talk a lot about things that none of our friends are interested in, like instagram, blogs and youtubes. But somehow different when it comes to the types, she wants a colorful instagram feed and blog while i prefer black and white. Dressing up is both our hobby. Although, I was never into leggings and pants like my her but instead I wear shorts and dresses. Another reason is, both of us are single for we are now scared to get our hearts tore into pieces again, just like what happen with our last relationship. Though, I’m still considering of having a boyfriend, i hope, in the near future unlike her who kinda became of a “man-hater” that doesn’t like boys at all. In terms of attitude, me and my bestfriend mostly had differences than similarities. We always think before we react on a certain situation or dilemma. However, when it comes to handling those, it’s a different story. I don’t know how but she always take problems lightly and positively, no matter how small or big it is while I take mine negatively. It’s very funny that we have a common talent, that is talking non-stop. I’m very realistic and sarcastic like I’m always looking for a fight when talking, in the contrary, my bestfriend always talk with sugar coated words plus her “world peace” face and voice which make her look like the goody goody and i’m the bully.

You see, each one of us has many common and differences. Similarities is one of the reason why we love our bestfriend. Either way, the differences we have is not a hindrance for us to be bestfriends but instead those made me love her even more. She can be as good as God and I can be as evil as satan and vice versa but I know she’ll accept me for who I am. She is my sister from another mother and I would never trade her for anything. but i know deep in my heart whatever happens, together we’ll face it and never leave each others side.

The Three Sister

...THE THREE SISTERS A synopsis of the play by Anton Chekhov A year after the death of their father, an army officer, the Moscow-bred sisters Prosorov--Olga, Masha and Irina--are finding life drab and increasingly hopeless in a Russian provincial town. Only the proximity of a nearby artillery post and the company of its officers make their existence bearable. Olga, the eldest, twenty-eight, is a teacher at the high school; she finds her work hateful, and herself already aging and tired, her dream of a happy marriage fading; she is sustained solely by the hope of selling the house and returning to Moscow. Masha, little more than twenty, is married to Kuligan, a teacher of far more years who has not lived up to the stature her school-girl mind had given him. For her there is no hope of Moscow; she only whistles softly to herself as her sisters make their plans. Irina, at twenty, dreams of finding happiness and love in Moscow. A brother, Andrey, a scholar, is in love with Natasha, twenty-eight, an overdressed villager who affects shyness and humility; his sisters find it hard to believe that he will marry her. On Irina's birthday, the callers include Chebutikin, sixty, an army doctor who once loved the sisters' mother; Baron Tuzenbach, thirty, a lieutenant in love with Irina; brooding Captain Soleni, and a newcomer, Vershinin, forty-two, commander of the post.

The Seven States State | Capital | Arunanchal Pradesh | Itanagar | Assam | Dispur | Manipur | Imphal | Meghalaya | Shillong | Mizoram | Aizawl | Nagaland | Kohima | Tripura | Agartala | History When India became independent from the United Kingdom in 1947, only three states covered the area. Manipur and Tripura were princely states, while a much larger Assam Province was under direct British rule. Its capital was Shillong (present day Meghalaya's capital). Four new states were carved out of the original territory of Assam in the decades following independence, in line with the policy of the Indian government of reorganizing the states along ethnic and linguistic lines. Accordingly, Nagaland became a separate state in 1963, followed by Meghalaya in 1972. Mizoram became a Union Territory in 1972, and achieved statehood - along with Arunachal Pradesh - in 1987.

Sister

...controversial discussions there has been in genetics, is whether the use of genetic therapy or genetic enhancement are moral permissible or not. On one side, there is the genetic therapy which uses genetic research to cure an illness. In the novel ‘Sister’ by Rosamund Lupton, there is a big example of this, since the sister of the protagonist, Tess, dies after being injected with a gene that was supposed to save his baby from Cystic Fibrosis. On the other side, there is the genetic enhancement which is considered to be good because it pushes people to fill their greatest potential. Yet, the latest is not legal and for that reason in the novel the scientist who uses this practice risks the lives of most of its protagonists. And Lupton adds yet another source of tension into this tingling welter of unknowns: she uses technology not as a deus ex machinabut as a kind of diabolus in machina. Early on, Bee reveals that Tess took part in an experimental medical trial to cure her baby in utero of the cystic fibrosis that killed their brother. The unsettling science behind this procedure accompanies the narrative like an unsmiling doctor in a white lab coat, injecting a mood of anxious uncertainty. Initially Bee, “wearing my full older-sister uniform,” had counseled Tess against the treatment; but it had worked. Hearing that news from Tess, months earlier, Bee had wept with relief, “big-wet-tears crying. I had been so worried, not about your baby, but about what it would be like for you...

Carla’s family had struggled with her as a child and ultimately decided to send her to a boarding school that was highly specialized in dealing with her disability. Upon graduating, she returns home, and the movie details the journey of the adjustments she and her family must go through. Carla’s Mild Retardation has varying effects on her as well as her family and surrounding community. Carla would be considered mildly mentally challenged. Our book discusses the varying levels of retardation stating that “Individuals who have milder forms of mental retardation can function independently most of the time and when support is needed, it tends to be episodic and short-term” (Mobily & MacNeil, 2002). Throughout the course of the movie, you can see that Carla is striving to be independent. This proves to be more of a struggle for her mother than it is for her.

The Makioka Sisters

...The Makioka Sisters The Japanese ie system consisted of a patriarchal structure in which all rights, responsibilities and duties, social standing, and family property were inherited from the father to the eldest son. In terms of marriage, the ie system consisted of marriage to be preferably arranged for the benefit of the family instead of the individual (the two people getting married) (Rod, 2001) (Kudo, 2012). In cases in which there were no sons born into the family, the eldest daughter along with her husband (who had to be adopted into the family), would become head of the household, and would rank above her younger sister(s) and her/their husband(s) (Kudo, 2012). This is the case in Junichiro Tanizaki’s Sasameyuki (The Makioka Sisters), a fiction/literature novel that draws a picture of a way of living that no longer exists. The story takes place in Osaka, years prior to World War II in which the still active ie system slowly begins to vanish. The changes in Japanese society due to modernization are portrayed through the life of four aristocratic Japanese women who attempt to cling to their family name and maintain a way of living that is disappearing before their faces. The Makioka Sisters novel has been cinematized three times. However, none of the films have been able to capture the four sisters’ original personalities without exaggerating certain characteristics. In the novel, a detailed account of the four sisters’ physical features, personalities, and particular...
