A Shocking Accident

After reading this short story "A Shocking Accident" by Graham Greene, I think it is so interesting because of an unbelievable shocking accident. It is worth my time writing this for the sake of my own memory. 

A nine year old Jerome was called by his headmaster one day for a shocking accident. The headmaster found this very hard to tell Jerome about his father’s death. Jerome had believed that rather than a traveling writer, his father was involved in some sorts of dangerous adventures or a member of the British Secret Service. The headmaster described the accident to Jerome awkwardly as he himself found the accident unbelievable and inexplicable. While Jerome’s father was traveling in Naples, Italy in the poor quarters, a pig falling from the fifth floor from a balcony because it had grown too fat hit him and broke his neck (Greene described this part humorously; I cannot help laughing as well) . What Jerome expected was far different from the actual accident and he seemed confused and unable to think properly except one question “What happened to the pig?”

Wait for the Death to Make Progression

During these few days in the capital city Phnom Penh, Cambodia, violence has occurred between the military polices and garment workers in the demand for wage rise to USD 160. As the consequence, at least four people were killed and many were injured during the clash. I feel resentful toward such tragedy with the death of my compatriots. The resentment is even stronger as there will be no justice for the dead men and women. Life of people in Cambodia has been treated as valueless in comparison with other things. My only wish is the words "Rest In Peace" and "Please Wait for ME!"

It is frustrated for me when I first arrived in Sweden. I did not understand or even know about some practical information which is really important for the transition. I faced many difficulties and only understood exactly when the problems did happen. Thus, I hope the information below is useful to other people in some ways.

My Adventure Biking – Pchum Ben 2011

The rumors about the excessive flood were here and there. My family seemed confusing with wishy-washy decision. Finally, we did take risk and left on 25 September afternoon. The gossips were partly true. Some roads were covered with flood; in some cases, they were even damaged that made the travel nearly impossible.
