                                                             The Person Of The Year 

    According to me, the person of the year is Ahmet Batman. I love his perspective on life. I think, he is one of the unappreciated authors. Hİs first book’s name is Soğuk Kahve. I read the book. In first glance I thought it is a novel but it is not. I think the type of the book is essay. In the book there are parts. This is useful because readers can read it any time they want.  I loved the style of the writer. He is outspoken and fearless. According the book I read he must be an honest person. He is like someone you have known for years. The language of the book is as if Ahmet Batman is talking to you. When you are reading the book, you feel the feelings of the writer. He can transport his feelings to readers. Because of his candid writing, I choose Ahmet Batman as the person of the year. He is telling us to us. Some of the readers are complainer about his writing style. They are saying that they cannot understand the book. They must know that İf they are real readers they must make an effort. When you read the sentences carefully, you understand the main idea. The sentences seem very simple and short but the meanings of them are very deep. However, the book are read very fast. To sum up, I loved Ahmet Batman’s thoughts, sharp tongue and outspokenness. He has a different perspective on live. I loved his play on words. He must be the person of the year.

                                                                       EGYPT

    My reflection is about Ancient Egypt. I love history of Egypt. It is big part of the Sahara Desert, which runs all across the top of Africa.  It is a fascinating country. I love searching about Egypt. Nile River, pyramids, labyrinth and mummies are interesting. Egypt is as if a different world. Their clothes, hairs and eye make-ups are different. Both men and women in Egypt wore tunics. These tunics were like a long T-shirt which reached to the knees (for men) or to the ankles (for women). In social life, as in other parts of Africa, some people in Ancient Egypt were slaves. Most slaves in Egypt worked in the fields, like everyone else. But many were house cleaners, wet nurses, cooks, or skilled dancers and musicians. Egypt is in Sahara Desert.  The reason people did live in Egypt was that the Nile River runs through the middle of Egypt. The Nile is a big river. It starts in the rain forest south of Ethiopia, south of Egypt, and it flows north into the Mediterranean Sea. Water from the Nile makes it possible to grow crops in Egypt. About 95 % of Egypt's population still live in the Nile valley (the area next to the river). All of Egypt depended on the Nile for water, food and transportation. In Ancient Egypt, religious beliefs had an important role in social life. It was believed that when you died, your soul went on a journey into the underworld. People of Ancient Egypt believed that they had to preserve their bodies so they could use them in the afterlife. For this reason, a method of artificial preservation, called mummification was developed by the ancient Egyptians. People who could afford mummification were the mummies. To sum up, I love Ancient Egypt very much. I want to visit Egypt and learn about their cultures. I hope one day my dreams come true.

                                                                  CAMELS 


      My topic is camels. They are amazing animals. They have tree stomachs. A camel is an animal with a hump. In their humps, they store fat, not water. Fat is a source of energy when food is scarce. They chew their cud like cows. Camels don’t need water very much. Camels may not drink water up to six months. A thirsty camel can drink 100 liters of water in 10 minutes. In addition to their humps, camels have other ways to adapt to their environment. They have a third, clear eyelid that protects their eyes from blowing sand. Two rows of long lashes also protect their eyes. Sand up the nose can be a problem, but not for camels. They can shut their nostrils during sand storms.  They are mostly in brown colors. The camel is one of the oldest domesticated animals. People have been using them for more than 10,000 years. They are generally used for their milk, hides and wool; but -especially- they are being used for transportation. For this reason, they are being called as “ships of the desert”. Did you know that baby camels are born without a hump? There are two types of camels: Dromedary camels, and Bactrian camels. The dromedary camel has one hump and long legs and it lives in the desert of Arabia and Africa. The Bactrian camel has two humps and a very thick coat and it lives in Asia in areas that are mostly grasslands. Camels love to stay in groups. The groups are being called as herds. The herds are led by a dominant male. Camels are very social and like to greet each other by blowing in each other's faces. To sum up, I love these amazing animals. I think they are miracles of God.

Reflection Task 2b

         
             
                                                               SUPERNATURAL

                 
               

                                                                       

                                                                                                                                                                                          

One of my favorite TV serials is Supernatural. There are books of the serial. There are 11 seasons of the serial. The genre of serial is horror fiction. There are ghosts, vampires, werewolves, witches, angels and devils. The main characters of the serial are Winchester Brothers. The big brother is Dean and the little brother is Sam. They are hunting supernatural creatures. Their father is a hunter. Their mother is killed by a devil, so brothers decided to hunt creatures. The brothers visit small towns, search and disguise. In general, they behave like FBI detectives. Dean has a very colorful character. Dean loves his brother very much and he tries to protect him. Women love him because he is very funny, sympathetic, and –especially- handsome. He loves eating and listening music. To talk about Sam, he is logical. He has a muscular body. He is not as extrovert as his big brother, but he is very charismatic. Let’s talk about the perspective of the serial. As far as I concerned, the producer of the serial want to judge our perspective on life because there are a lot of topic in the serial that judges the place of God in our lives. I am a fan of the serial because it is very exciting. There is really good music and different creatures. There are supernatural creatures but it is not too away from our lives. Winchester Brothers try to protect each other and our world. There are so many follower followers of the serial around the world. For example, there are two comics of the serial and a Japan anime of the anime. I suggest you to watch it.  You will be addicted to Supernatural when you watch just a couple parts of it.

Reflaction Task 2a

                                                                Child Psychology 
  
       

My reflection task is about child psychology. This subject is quite comprehensive. I will

try to give information with a few examples. If parents behave authoritatively and oppressively, their children will be insecure and will be shaped according to what their parents want. I think that the behavior of parents affects children deeply. That makes sense to me because children observe their environment; in that way, they learn about the world. First, in oppressive family structures parents set rules and children are supposed to adapt to them. I believe there must be rules when bringing children up. For example, parents should limit the watching TV and determine the sleeping hours, but the reasons of the rules should be explained properly. However, I do not think it is so good to control everything of child. If parents do this, the child will always need them and will be dependent on his/her parents. The parents should show their mistakes. However, they should not behave so critically since it can break children’s confidence. Second, if they get always negative criticism, they will not share what they have done, even if they have done good things, because they are afraid of being punished. In this point, the importance of appreciation cannot be neglected. I believe that parents should support the children and they should not lead to right path, instead, they should give the children a chance to make a choice. To sum up, I think that being so critical has negative effects on children such as being shy, dependent on the parents, fear of being punished or the feeling of being inferior. Also, I think parenting issue is not about bringing dependent children up, it is about bringing up responsible and respectful children.
