Marley and Me

Markey and Me is a type of a movie which combines both humor and sadness together. As John starts his new life, humor and happiness are obviously noticed. In contrast, the end is fulfilled with sadness because of the death of their dog. Marley is the name of their dog, who they consider as a member of their nuclear family. The two main characters in the movie are Own Wilson as John and his wife Jenifer Aniston as Jenny. In addition, the movie is directed by David Frankel and finally released in 2008 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0822832/).

The movie is mainly about John’s family and the dog Marley, who has been bought by John after he got married to Jenny. He grew so quickly and was a unique dog because of his bad behaviors. The movie also mentions about Johns carrier’s life. He is a successful journalist and then he promoted and become a columnist at Florida newspaper.

In conclusion, the movie just described how a couple would start their marriage life. In fact, they have made a plan for their life. One point of there plan is to have a dog, which most of movie story is about. I recommend watching that movie, because it pictures the right relationship between an owner and his dog. I am sure that you might feel so delight at the beginning of the movie, but I do not expect you will remain with the same feeling.

My Hometown and Seattle

Although my hometown Dammam and Seattle are two cities located in different countries, they are similar in many points and also have some differences. In this essay, I will state some similarities and a difference, which is mainly related to their locations, industries, crowdedness and weathers.

As a comparison between Dammam and Seattle, they have almost three major similarities. First, both of the cities are coastal, so they both have geographical locations. For example, Dammam and Seattle are both considered as important sea ports in their countries. In another words, exporting and importing is one of their important economical elements to those cities. Second, both of the cities have huge international reputation of having big industries in specific fields. For example, Dammam has the two biggest chemical factories in the world. They are both directed by Saudi Arabian Basic Industrial City (SABIC), which is a very famous in its field. In addition, oil crude production is an important feature in my hometown. ARAMCO, which is its headquarter in Dammam, is the biggest oil company that exports oil to all over the world. ARAMCO usually exports around 50,000 barrel a day. On the other hand, Seattle is very famous in airplanes and computers production. For example, Booing factory is the number one factory in the world that is specialized in producing airplanes. Their factories are focus more in producing passengers’ airplanes. Furthermore, computers production in a Microsoft company has a great deal of making Seattle as a famous city in technology sector. Finally, because of Dammam and Seattle are both industrial cities, they are crowded of people, who came from many different countries. So, Dammam and Seattle are melting point for many nationalities.

In regards to the differences, Dammam and Seattle majorly have different weathers. Starting with Dammam, it usually does not have four complete seasons like Seattle; it just has summer and winter. During the summer, the temperature reaches to 110 calicoes and in addition of that many sand winds hit Dammam, especially during midnights. Moreover, since Dammam is a coastal city, it almost has a long humid climate. People in my hometown use air-condition in order to adapt their self with the weather. In contrast, Seattle’s weather is almost cold and rainy. Hence, most of the buildings and houses do not have air condition system. In addition, it is rarely to have a hot weather in Seattle, even in the summer season. The maximum temperature in Seattle reaches to 95 calicoes, which is considered as the normal weather in Dammam.

In conclusion, Dammam and Seattle are two cities located in different countries. They are similar in some points. These points include location, industry and crowdedness as well as weather, which is vary between these two cities. Dammam and Seattle are almost the same in terms of industry and location importance.
