I am Interpersonal.

Last week, my form teacher told us to take a learning styles test for our E-Learning, and the learning styles we are will be the assignments we will get for our E-Learning. After taking the test, the results showed that I am Interpersonal. Interpersonal means that someone who has very good relationship with others, so I was given the assigment to interview someone and this assignment really interest me a lot. I feel the learning styles method of learning is a very good way of learning as it lets us know where our interest are, so assignments given will be to our interest, and it makes learning better and at the same time, more enjoyable.

The similarities and the differences between Lamb To The Slaughter and The Way Up To Heaven.

Similarities

What is common in both stories are that the female lead, which was the wives were very pleasing towards their husbands, however their husbands seemed to be taking their wives for granted and did not seem to really care about them. In the case of Lamb To The Slaughter, the callous Patrick Maloney was heartless enough to leave her wife, Mary, who was already pregnant with his child, and was only concerned about her not making her fuss as it might affect his work. While in Way Up To Heaven, the husband clearly knew that his wife disliked being late, and was "afraid" of being late, however he somehow tries to irritate her purposely by being slow and fussy, while on their way to catch the plane to Paris to visit their grandchildren. The wife finally found out what his husband was up to and when he knew that his husband was stuck in the lift, she just ignored the fact, and left her husband in the lift. Both stories clearly shows that both women were shrewd and intelligent and the fact that how both of them got away with the murder.

Differences

The major differences in the story was that one of them murdered her husband directly while the other murdered his husband indirectly and Mary Maloney was overcomed by her vengefulness which caused the murder while in Way Up To Heaven, the wife only to the thought of "murdering" her husband when she found out that her husband was stuck in the lift.



Both stories are simillar in the way that they are deception stories and these are the differences and similarities for it.

Jiaozi are one of the major food eaten in Chinese New Year in the Northern Provinces. It looks like the Ancient Chinese Silver Money, so by eating it, it signifies WEALTH and PROSPERITY in the New Year. When someone is leaving home to go out to work, the last meal with the family should also be dumplings. When he or she had eaten the dumpling, he or she will prosper and earn tons and tons of money from work. Not only special occasions, dumplings can also be eaten on normal days. Many Northern Families eat dumplings everyday, for lunch, dinner and even breakfast!!!
