The Kite Runner-Ethnic groups in Afghanistan
New Years Resolution
- One of my New Years Resolution is to come to school on time.
The way I am going to do this is to try to get frequent rest and take frequent naps because I am usually up all day and don't take naps and I sleep at 12:00 a.m in the morning. I will set up an alarm clock and wake up when it rings.
- My second New Years Resolution is to be dedicated to one thing at a time.
The way I am going to do it is to finish one task at a time because usually, I start cleaning my house and I get distracted and I end up not cleaning or doing nothing. I am going to have to finish one thing at a time and finish it then pass to the next assignment.
- My last New Years Resolution is to lose two pounds this month because I am over my weight limit.
The way I am going to do it is be more active walk more and less driving the car. I could take my son for a walk around the block and we even have a park nearby, I could play with my son or run around the park and have his dad watch him.

Females cannot go to school and get an education therefore, females have to depend on there men and cannot be superior to men. If woman get there education they can be independent and sure of them self's and they could have a career to support there children. Woman can also be part of there children's education and help with there homework. Woman also have a big mental capacity to be intelligent and it should not be wasted on just everyday house chores. Females are noble human beings and it should be equal opportunity's for both gender's.

I think Precious is a girl ,who despite of being robbed from her innocence Precious has a strong will to finish her education. Precious endures many abusive treatments from both of her parents. Precious dad rapes her consistently and mom blames her for stealing her man and hits her for that.I expected Precious growing up rebellious and doing illegal things in society but she grows up the opposite way. Precious goes to school and takes care of her two kids bourne to her rapist father.
- What is the role you play in other people's lives? I play a role as a responsible, loving, and caring mother. I am also a daughter and sister to my family and lastly as a loving lover to my baby's dad.

My brother's just work and one of them is married and lives on his own with his wife no kids. The roles of my friends are hard working mother's who survive each day raising there kids.
1. Did Precious' story make you think about what your role is to those around you, no matter
how well you know them? Do you feel a responsibility to assist others? Precious story told me I am a responsible person to my my son as in raising him on my own with the fathers support.
2. Like the investment of time that BluRain makes in Precious, what investment have you made in someones life? If you haven't made that investment, what is stopping you?

Mammal Captivity
I think mammals should not be kept in captivity because they are creatures thet belong in the oceans and are free to be everywhere they want to be. Mammals should not be kept in tanks where their isn't alot of space to swim in, they should be swimming in the deep blue oceans with other marine animals.

- First of all animals are free to be in their natural habitat, grow developing skills as animals, and funtion as wildlife species.
- Second of all animals are not aquiring nor developing in their natural habits, they are learning from humans not animals.
- Third of all I think the best way to learn about mammals is to see them in their natural habitat.
In conclusion I think mammals should be living in their wildlife habitats. Peolpe who want to learn about them should take a tour in their natural habitats and observe them there.
