Great Expectations

If you are looking for great expectations while reading a book, "Great Expectations" is the right book for you. Great Expectations is the thirteenth novel written by Charles Dickens. The book is considered one of the masterpieces of Dickens. The desire of Pip to become a gentleman, despite all the difficulties, and the irony in the story made me keep reading the novel.

Pip is a sensitive child, an orphan living under the care of his cruel sister and her husband, Joe. Joe loves and supports Pip unconditionally, even when Pip is ashamed of him and abandons him. Pip’s life changes after showing kindness to an escaped convict, Magwith. He becomes a wealthy man with a great education, unaware that his benefactor is a convict.

Pip rejects his upbringing in favor of a more refined life in London. His biggest hope is to become a gentleman. But when Pip discovers the identity of his benefactor, all his great expectations dissolve into shame of the convict and he is disgusted with himself for his gradual change. Despite his shame, he is obligated to protect his benefactor out of loyalty and gratitude.

In conclusion, I highly recommend you read this wonderful book. This novel teaches us a great lesson about friendship and loyalty. In addition, Charles Dickens is a distinctive author, and he has his own style of writing .

Excellent!

It Is Our Responsibility

The problem of obesity can no longer be ignored. Alice Brown the nutritionist claims that people have to be more responsible for what they eat. I believe Mrs. Alice is right, because it is our responsibility to pay attention to what we eat.

Today, we are increasingly exposed to industrial food; processed fast food is more available than healthy food. Processed fast food not only affects the weight of our bodies, but also of our health. Cardiovas cular disease, cholesterol, blood pressure these are a few examples of what bad nutriotion can do. Therefore, we have to be careful and pay attention to the food we put in our mouths.

Moreover, I think everyone should worry about his own body and health because that is not the role of anyone else except us. Fast-food restaurants and unhealthy food will always exist, but the trick is to eat balanced meals.

In conclusion, proper nutrition is one of the most important things that we can do for our overall health.With an effective nutrition program, combined sports and healthy lifestyle, we will reduce weight, be healthy, feel and look wonderful. Because nothing is impossible!

Much better. Good work!

The Editor

Tel- Aviv, Israel

Dear Editor,

Concerning the article “Israel Mourns Assaf Ramon”, which was published in the website “Israel national news”, I would like to state my opinion about Assaf Ramon’s tragic accident. I think it is a very unfortunate incident, in which Israel lost one of its best sons.

Assaf Ramon was killed in tragic circumstances. Only three month after he graduated with honors the Pilot Course, he was killed when his plane crashed near Mount Hebron. I don't know exactly what happened to Assaf on the airplane in his last moments, but the only thing I know is that the plane fell apart into many pieces, like Assaf's body.

~

When his father, the first Israeli astronaut, was killed, Assaf always said he wished to follow in his father's path- to become the second Israeli astronaut. But neither of us thought that fate would choose the path of death. Thousands of people came to the cemetery of Nahalal, where Assaf was buried near his father, to pay their respects for the courageous pilot.

To conclude, when I heard the news, the day the accident occurred, I was very sad.But now the least we can do is send our warmest consolations to the Ramon’s family, and keep the memory of these two brave souls alive.

Yours truly,

Emilia Cooper
