Tribal people in Pakistan are the original people of Pakistan. According to www.Merriam-Webster.com/dictionary. My search showed me that there are many tribes in the Punjabi – Pakistan region. Most tribes seem to originate from the: Rajput, Jat or Samma tribes with sub tribes reading as a long complicated list like in the bible. “The main Rajput tribes of the Punjab which are mostly Muslim are: Bhatti, Punwar, Chauhan, Minhas, Tiwana, Noon, Chib, Gheba, Jodhra, Janjua, Sial and Wattu and more While the important Jat tribes which also are Muslim are: Bajwa, Chatta, Cheema, Randhawa, Ghammon, Buta, Kahlon, Gil, Sehota, Taror, Waraich, Summa, Wahla, Bhutta, Malhi, Sukhera, Alpials, Dahas, Langah, Ranghar, Meo, Awan, Khokhar, Ghakkar, and more. Some of these Rajput tribes are classified as Jats and vice versa”.

Shabanu Anticipation Guide

It is possible to experience love at first sight? I agree this is possible but most times with adults it turns out to be a mistake. I agree because love is one of nature’s most natural human emotions. It is therefore possible to see another person and fall in love at once. I believe that most true “love at first sight” is in 2nd grade – or kindergarten. At this age we are young, everything is very pure and simple. When we are older things are more complicated and we are more cautious. Two complete strangers stuck on a deserted island could learn to love one another (and yes, stay with one another after being rescued)? I agree that this can happen; because they will have to learn to understand each other they will have to depend on each other. They will be forced to have different types of conversation and be nice to each other. If they laugh and grow to understand each other, I think this could progress and they could fall in love. They could also continue to stay together after being rescued but the change of environment could cause the relationship to break up. It is a good thing to sacrifice your happiness for the desires of others? NO! I totally disagree. I think that if you sacrifice your happiness for the desire of another person neither you nor that person will be truly happy. For happiness involves you. It cannot be good only to give in to the needs of others. Don’t be selfish about it however you should equal it out. If everything you do is for others to be happy then you could be suffering from emotional disorder and they are emotionally abusing you. Women in your society are free citizens? No I Disagree Women in our society do not have total freedom. They actually have a percentage of freedom. Most women have restrictions. Men believe they have more decision-making skills than women and women should just be simple bystanders. I am international but it seems natural where both my parents are from (Jamaica and Barbados) that men make the decisions as if the women are extras in the room. The men seem to have total control. In my family it is different; my mom and dad have equal rights.

Compare&&Contrast

The Outsiders Compare&Contrast The outsiders is a “novel” which, tells a story about two groups of teenagers in different gangs, The main points of view are mostly those of the main character (Ponyboy). The gangs are seen as being on two different levels. One group is civilized with snobbish and idiotic members - the “Socs“ (socials) while the other group is uncivilized but with smart and nice people – “Greasers”. I find the Book differs from the Movie very much, in the movie we watched they skipped out a lot of the book and changed around other parts. In the book Ponyboy tells us at the end of the book that (the story) these are his memories. In the movie, Ponyboy tells us this in the beginning. Also, in the book Ponyboy had a nice dream with his parents but in the movie he has a nightmare. However there are also similarities Like when Cherry Valance says “ Yeah, Socs with the big houses, fancy cars, with all the breaks but Ponyboy, things are rough all over” … these were the same words as in the book. Another similarity is with ‘the letter’ Johnny wanted Ponyboy to read; the words and sentences were the same as in the book. I think the Book is better than the movie because you understand the story more. You understand it more because you can hear all Ponyboy’s thoughts and this explains, clarifies and exposes everything that happens. In the movie, we are not allowed access to most of his internal thoughts and feelings, Ponyboy has to explain them all in sentences to us and this changes the dialogue. These added words make the movie different in more than one way. I prefer the book by far its more entertaining and you have details of every action and thought. With all this information you can imagine your own movie. In the movie we watched these details are all shorten and compact.
