Ninjas;
Although some people are afraid of ninjas, since they are so
deadly, I think that they’re cool. Because Ninjas have so many
enemies, they live high in trees on top of mountains. No one
can reach them in their mountainous tree forts unless they
lower their rope ladders for them. If you tried to climb up a
ninja’s tree without the rope ladder, you would probably get hit
with a million ninja stars. Despite their inhospitable nature,
ninjas are usually nice to children and animals.

your argument with a quote from the text. Explain what your
quote shows and thoughtfully conclude your argument.

outside world has been walled off”. North Koreans were
having face the scarce period of resources as they don’t trade
with others and cut off with the world. After the war they
were becoming poor day by day and today, it is armed by
nuclear weapons. Whereas, “Immediately to the south lies a
nation with one of the world’s richest economies”. South
Koreans have many hardworking people as they have not
natural resources instead they focused on labor intensive
where they produce at large amount of machineries, cars,
mobile phones and electronics products. After the war they
become wealthiest gradually by giving their soul to their land.
