Like for example, in the early 70s and 80s, there was no cure for neuroblastoma, it is a type of cancer that forms in certain types of nerve tissue that occurs to children under 5 years old. It is mostly located in the main center of the brain.

b) I'm interest in Amman's stories who is from Jordan. His stories basically tells that he doesn't want to join forces with Jordan's army during the war period as he does not want to kill anyone and interested in politics and religion. He almost give up on his life to the point when he said “I felt so alone that I wanted to kill myself.” bc his house was destroyed during the war. His ambition of being an Arabic teacher does not end there as he recieved a random call from a particular person. From there, he decided to move to Michigan, Detroit (USA). From that moment he said "When we get to Michigan, I’m not going to turn on the television again. I’m done with religion and politics forever. I only want to worry about milk and diapers.”
c) What i learn is that we as humans should never give up easily. I myself intend to give up easily when  things doesn't goes right for me.
d) i can put in emotional and strategies to solve certain problems..

(c)This man served as a medic in war-torn Afghanistan, spending a great deal of time there, and he witnessed the reality of a war and the suffering it inflicts upon ordinary people. He learnt many valuable lessons in Afghanistan, which he remember vividly, but longed to return home to New York. He expected a warm welcome as a selfless Samaritan. In fact, a lot has changed in New York, and his father had died and the family was financially strained. He felt lonely back home, as he lost a sense of purpose. In this story, I learnt that there is a lot of suffering in this world most of us are fortunate not to experience, that home is not always “home sweet home”, and that most if not all of us require a sense of purpose and a job to do to keep ourselves occupied.

This article is about a girl who lost her father due to an illness. After his loss, she began to have a weak relationship with her mother. Both of them tried to hide their pain that they had just to "protect each other" and "didn’t want to create any additional worries".
c) I have learnt that it is important to have a strong relationship with your family. They are the people that one would trust the most and have the closest ties with as they are the ones that supports you in whatever you do. Hence, problems should be shared and not kept to oneself.
d) From this article, I can apply the emotional problems that one may face in life to my hybrid essay to make my story more interesting.

c) This article is about a man who believes in god. He stated that the god took away his wealth and also his job gave him a illness "Bipolar". But he was not mentally ill. He took the medicine because it’s part of the deal for him having his own apartment, but he was not mentally ill. When he paid his debt, God is going to transform his voice. He’s going to make him a great singer. One night he had a dream that he was singing and something golden fell from the sky. And he caught it so everyone gathered around him. He hoped they prayed about him and then they’ll see the truth. Pray to God and ask him: ‘Is this man honest, or is he mentally ill?’”

c) This story is about a woman who was abandoned by her mother when she was only 12 years old.
Her mother decided to choose drug dealing boyfriend over her. What inspires me is that she was able to survive on her own when she was only 12 years old, going from house to house, couch to couch. It's surprising that a 12 year old girl knew how to survive on her own, when all the other 12 years old are still depending on their parents. This woman also beat cancer for 2 times in 4 years. In the story she said that her life changed when her son came into her life. She had to unlearn everything she had ever known and she had to learn how to do things the right way, not selling drugs, not cutting corners. Right now, she is trying to finish college while being a single mother and taking care of her 83 years old grandmother.

His stories tell us that people dont think twice before they act, and end up regretting the decisions made, but by then, it will be too late to regret.
c) I learnt that we should learnt to say no, and not do things out of greed and for the sake of money, and to think twice before doing anything, desperate times calls for desperate measures, however we should not resort in committing crimes to solve the problems, but to depend on ourselves for survival,  if not we will live in regret.

His personal struggle with drug addiction also creates an emotional connection with the reader.
c)His story reminds us to care for our parents, and no matter how estranged you and your family may become, one must still show care and concern, as an act of filial piety. Even if your family shows hatred towards you, that does not mean we should turn our backs on them and no longer care.
d)The author uses his own personal experience an creates his story in the form of  personal recount. This method will be useful in hybrid essays, when elaborating on one's own experience.

i chose this article because it is interesting.

c)Trauma causes the brain to malfunction. During a traumatic experience, memories cannot be processed correctly. So a person with PTSD is still carrying those traumatic experiences around in their body. Because those experiences were never filed away into the ‘past tense,’ the brain continues to operate as if the trauma is happening in the ‘present tense.’ It’s like a computer with a program that’s running constantly in the background. The idle is way too high. And it’s an exhausting way to live. So those memories need to be revisited and processed. And we have an amazing way of doing that. It’s called EMDR. I won’t explain it here, but it works. It takes away symptoms. It won’t turn you into a yogi who sits on the beach. But it will take away panic attacks. It will take away insomnia. And it will take away suicidal idealizations. We aren’t changing anyone. But we are getting people back to their best self

I like this article because it reflects the struggles the people in New York faces and unlike in Singapore when most kids do not need to fear about financial difficulties.
c) In this story, it portrays how a young boy is so sensible to make the effort to ease his financial situations but was unfortunate that he ended up being bullied. In his case, he went on to seek revenge and so what we can take away is that we should learn to be forgiving and never jump to conclusions reckless.
d) This can help me understand how to write a better reflective essay based on personal stories by expressing our thoughts.

This article interests me as it shows a man reflecting on his understanding and view of poor people and that he finally understand that he was just being ignorant and that he also finally understood them and that the problems they faced was created by us.
c)I learnt that sometimes what you know may not be always correct and its best to reflect about ourselves once in a while about our morals and our understanding of other people.

The human of New York interests me as she said "Honestly, if I mess up again,  I hope it kills me. Because I don't want to keep hurting people". It shows how much she had regretted getting addicted to meth and the sincerity she has towards turning over a new leaf. Due to her addiction, her family was affected. As a child myself, I can never imagine how much sadness and anger would I have towards my family members if such things happen. Hence, this article left a huge impact on me.
d) We can learn how to convey strong feelings through powerful words used.

the story that interests me the most is the first article, where the guy got the tattooed of the words"i hate". that is because the story is about this commoner finding his place in life, from a rebel to a working adult. This of me is very motivating as it depicts the story of a metamorphosis, which can ring hope to many other individuals.

c) From this story I've learnt that no  matter how tempting may the reward be. We should never break our morals.
d) This can be used in my hybrid essay to show how a need of something could potentially make us do something that would harm others and break the law. A small mistake and we will lock ourselves up for years.

d) I can use this as an example in an hybrid (argumentative + ...) to show what the singapore government does for its citizens, contrasting with the US government to show the differences.

This post shows how a doctor would not give up on his patient even when there is only 1% chance of success in the surgery and when most surgeons wouldn't take the task he would.Throughout the 30 years of his career he had to tell the parents of the kid that he have lost their child and it kills him terribly to say that.
c)Through the post i learned that even when there is only a slight bit of chance in our dream, we should take the opportunity and make the best out of the situation.It too taught me that we should take responsibility for our mistakes but however we should not hounded over our mistakes for a long time and should instead forgive and forget as long as we identify our mistake and learn from it.
d)The passage leave a deep impression towards the reader through the use of words of description we are able to feel exactly how the person felt sadness when he made mistakes.This can be use in hybrid essay in terms of reflective essay where through using personal recounts and proper descriptive words we are able to allow the reader to feel exactly how we were feeling at that moment.

c)  Despite being in undesirable situations, we should always find ways to make the best out of everything by facing up to reality and finding ways to change your life in a way that your're doing something good for either yourself or for the people around you .
