My classmate Jonathan just
pulled out a random book which title is “How to talk Minnesotan: A visitor’s
Guide”. He was automatically interested because he as an international student,
he wanted to accommodate himself to country. I pick the first sentence from
page 15 which is: "The Minnesota Salad is an appetizing complement to any hot
dish and is composed of Jell-O in any flavor, miniature colored marshmallows,
canned fruit cocktail, and a generous dollop of cool whip on top" (1)
My classmate Elena chose
the book named “Loud and Clear: How to prepare and deliver effective business
and technical presentations”. Because she wants to be a successful
businesswoman, then she found this book might helpful for her future. “A costly
plan of action may prove to be the ideal solution in given situation"(2)
"For instance, the foreign
aid appropriations legislation for 1991 declared in part that the purpose of
DFA was "to help the poor majority of men and women in sub-Saharan Africa
to participate in process of long-term development through economic growth that
is equitable, participatory, environmentally sustainable, and
self-reliant.""(3) It picked from my classmate Loris’s book which
named “U.S. Economic Policy Toward Africa”. It also grab my attention. American
aid had been mostly the strategic action to rebuild the economy of Africa.
However, the policies of U.S. Economy were not really approved.
"One of the greatest
and most persistent themes in mythology is cosmogony-an explanation for the
creation and maintenance of the universe."(4) My classmate Hassan
interested in Greek and Roma culture. It also attracted me so much.
Mostafa was enjoying reading
about Mythologies of the world, so he picked this book. I was also interested
in this topic than I star to scan this book. "Many different names have
been included in the muster roll of the Argo, the ship sailed by Jason in his
quest for the Golden Fleece."(5) This is the first sentence from page 15
that I’d like to show.
