"All work and no play makes Jake a dull boy"

The Maugham's story was different from the Aesop the fable of the ant and the grasshopper. Because Tom was as same as the grasshopper and he had a good life, both of stories had a little difference. The ant worked hard to save food in order to live in winter and it successed in winter but the grasshopper had fun all the day and it failed in winter. Thereby, the Maugham's story was totally difference because Tom was charm and friendly and his brother George was work-hard and role moral, their future had a different way. They had business and marriage but they were aggressive each other. Tom was handsome so many people loved him; George was role-moral so he wasn't attractive to people. Therefore, many people liked to have fun with Tom and help him. This was why Tom was received to many people of love and he won his brother George.

I agreed with the Maugham's story when a person worked hard and he was role-moral, he wasn't attractive to almost people. He was bored and couldn't create something; as a result, he didn't have a good social skill. However, when a person was friendly and charm because he had a good communicate with people and he kept a good relationship with people; as a result, he had a lot of people's love. Therefore, I agreed with Maugham because he affected in the real world.   

The Friendship Bond

I think that friendship is the same between marriage and other social roles, besides that, friendship doesn't link parents and children, and employees and employers. It is just to increase feeling of warmth, trust and affection between two people. Every friends is different, and according to the article talked about 60 present liked to discuss activities in general, 27 present in detail. Most of friends would tell their friends if they had an illness, although they also acknowledged sometimes the feeling lonely. 

The Ant and the Grassopper

The Ant and the grassopper was different from the Maugham's story, and they talked about two animals in the same environment but they had different future. The ant worked hard to save food to live in winter and the grassopper was lazy to have fun and it couldn't live in winter. On contrast, in the Maugham's story talked about Tom was friendly as same as the grassopper didn't like work but he was handsame and intelligent to get into a lot of people's heart. However, Tom's brother George was unlucky and he looked like the ant very work hard and intelligent but he was role model and many people couldn't like him. Finally, Tom and George had different future, Tom got engaged to a old woman but she was died and left him amounts of property, and George didn't get extra money and he worked hard in his own business.   

I liked the ant because it worked hard each day. It prepared the food in summer and couldn't worry about cold winter. Finally, when winter came, the ant stayed home and enjoyed in the winter life. However, in the Maugham's story, I liked Tom because he knew how to use his good things such as charming. Therefore, I loved this story and the fable and learned a lot.

a conflict work

 In my workplace, a conflict between co-worker and boss. She argued to her boss have a lot of customers complained about price wrong and she was paitent to explain anything. She was nice and everyone liked her. However, her boss always ignores her complain because of her black. Besides that, her boss just wanted to her work-well.

opinion and interpretation

 I liked this story talked about the woman Henrietta Lacks fought with her disease to become immoral cells although she died. Her doctor Gey felt jeaous to Henrietta because of her color and she had immoral cells. Then her doctor wanted to use her cells in culture to involved money and didn't care for her family. Although Henrietta suffered from many whilte doctor team discrimination, she had others researchers support. The journalist Rabecca wrote down her story to tell this world Henrietta Lacks' first immoral cells, and everyone will know her ever.

p137 ~ 176

    By the 1960s, everybody said Henrietta was really hospitality and cooked good although she died in cancer and her cells was donated by Dr. Gey, and he never asked her family anything. Her cells have been bombed up in medical miracles, and could cure for some cancer and other things, even AIDS. In additional, the scientists laughed at HeLa cells that could survive on the other areas were so strong, and researchers experimented with the growing library of cells to make historic discoveries. They found out why normal cells stopped to grow and cancer cells didn't. Besides that George Gey and his others' cell culture who traveled from everywhere to discuss the future of cell culture found a technical problems in their field. The scientists had no ideas to against HeLa cells if they got mixed up in culture. And Deborah was a pregnant in the high school, Bobbette helped her to find job after she graduated whether she liked it or not. Moreover, Deborah's young brother rebelled with out of group although his family had hoped the military would help control. He killed his friend Ivy and felt guilty and wrote letter to criminal court judge. Finally, Gey died by pancreas cancer and he hoped a line of cancer cells taken from his pancreas, like Henrietta's, would become immortal. After Gey died in 1970, Henrietta's name was first published and she could enjoy the fame. 


Impression:


I think that the miracle was the most important for Henrietta because her cells become immoral, and she could cure other people although she didn't know.
