After some hours at the classroom we started to build the doghouse in the garage. We started with the floor and build us up to the top, from floor to wall and the roof.
We used ca 25 meters with material at the doghouse, most to the panel, but some meters to the arbors also. To build the roof we used clapboards and a special material over there, it’s nice to look at and it is a good material to build roof of. To build a doghouse, you need this tool: Hammer, Saw, Yardstick, Nails, Drill and Screws. After we had built the roof we were finished with the house.Then we send the house to the painters and they paint the house, and then the house was finally finished.

This play took place in USA in the 30s during The Great Depression.
Mice and Men was written by John Steinbeck in 1937.
>John Steinbeck
John Steinbeck was born on February 27 in 1902.
John was an American writer. He wrote the Pulitzer Prize winning novel "The Grapes of Wrath", published in 1939, and he wrote the novel "Of Mice and Men", published in 1937.
Steinbeck wrote twenty-five books, sixteen novels, six non-fiction books and several collections of short stories. Steinbeck received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1962. John Steinbeck died December 20 in 1968.
The great Depression
The great Depression was from 1929 to 1939. It was the longest and most severe depression ever experienced by the industrialized Western world. The economy had gone into depression six months earlier, they say that The Great Depression began with a catastrophic collapse of the stock-market prices on the New York Stock Exchange in October 1929.
The Great Depression began in the United States, but it quickly turned into a worldwide economic slump owing to the special and intimate relationships that had been forged between the United States and European economies after World War I. The United States had emerged from the war as the major creditor and financier of postwar Europe, whose national economies had been greatly weakened by the war itself, by war debts, and, in the case of Germany and other defeated nations, by the need to pay war reparations. So once the American economy slumped and the flow of American investment credits to Europe dried up, prosperity tended to collapse there as well. The Depression hit hardest to those nations that were most deeply indebted to the United States, i.e., Germany and Great Britain. In Germany, unemployment rose sharpl, beginning in late 1929, and by early 1932 it had reached 6 million workers, or 25 percent of the work force. Britain was less severely affected, but its industrial and export sectors remained seriously depressed until World War II. Many other countries had been affected by the slump within 1931.
A plot of Mice and Men
George Milton and Lennie Small were two ranch workers, they dreamt of owning a small farm, one day. George was like a father for Lennie. Lennie loves animals and soft things, for example mice and rabbits. Lennie's physical strength causes problems, so his “father” George have to watch him often. One day, they went together to California and they got a job on a ranch there. When they came to California they started to save money for their future. They met an old man, Candy. He tells them about the other ranch hands. The boss's son, Curly, is small and he hates big and strong men and he didn't like Lennie. And so they met Curley's wife. George and Candy were not interested in her, but innocently Lennie finds her attractive. Candy overhears George and Lennie when they were talking about their dreams, and he asks if he can join them. He says he can give them a lot of money to their farm if he can live his life with them. They were all happy, and they said yes. They continued their dream, and they moved to a farm together in California, all together.

The USA
Many people in America are dreaming about beeing an important person or beeing famous for different reasons. The American dream is both for the native Americans, but also for foreign people who is searching for their dreams. Before they comes to America they have no money, but after some years they have managed to built themselves a career and earned a lot of money. Someone becomes famous in the hole country. Some people start their lives like a poor human being in different countries around the world. After some years they moves to America, start building a career, works hard and then they earns a lot of money. After some years in America maybe someone of them gets rich.
Many Norwegians during the 1980's to 1920's emigrated to America in hope of finding their dreams. They were told that America was the land of hopes and dreams. They could easily find jobs and a land to build their homes. For some the dream became true, but for many others the dream failed.

Why is some American people so fat?
Some people are fat from the start of their lives, they grow up like a fat child, and they can't do something about it. Maybe genetic? Maybe their parents are fat too, or have been fat when they were a child themselves. Some of the fat kids can't help beeing fat, they need help from their parent's or from an organisation. They may not have been fat when they were babies or 2-11 years old, but they became fat when they became 12-18 years old. One reason why children is fat may be because their parents takes them to Burger King or Mc Donald's several days of the week. Or they simply order junk food to their home.
If their parents are fat, maybe they didn't train so much. They drive cars to their jobs, they don't walk. Some eats the wrong food, they buy junk food every day, goes to Mc Donald's or Burger King. If their parents don't train so much, their children would not train eather. Some parents train maybe 2-3 times a week, but they eat totally wrong food, only junk food, burger, chips and Coca Cola. They do not have the right diet, no training, only junk food.
When you hear of plastic surgery, what do you think of? A Hollywood star trying to look great? People who want to change the size of their stomachs, breasts, or other body parts because they see it done so easily on TV? Those are common images of plastic surgery, but what about the 4-year-old boy who has his chin rebuilt after a dog bit him? Or the young woman who has the birthmark on her forehead lightened with a laser?
What Is Plastic Surgery?
Just because the name includes the word "plastic" doesn't mean patients who have this surgery end up with a face full of fake stuff. The name isn't taken from the synthetic substance but from the Greek word plastikos, which means to form or mold (and which gives the material plastic its name as well).
Why Do Teens Get Plastic Surgery?
Most teens don't, of course. But some do. Interestingly, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reports a difference in the reasons teens give for having plastic surgery and the reasons adults do: Teens view plastic surgery as a way to fit in and look acceptable to friends and peers. Adults, on the other hand, frequently see plastic surgery as a way to stand out from the crowd.
