1001 Nights

1) I think stellar time most influences ours lives based on Twitter. According to my own experience participate on Twitter, I just type in whatever i want to talk about. Such as after my Management exam, i want to express about my feeling about my exam, and people respond their opinion on my wall. Twitter is a very good place to express my emotion. And people will telling her experience about the exam. People also talk about their school work in Twitter, such as when was the due day for online question. What happeded in the accounting tutor class. How was the weather and so on. Twitter is a place people can communicate each other. People make conversation on Twitter by asking the question and response the question. It also is a place to express personal expression, share experience and other people will also share their own experience with you. Our lives are all make up with these little things. When you separate them, it is one thing, but when you combine them, it is our lives.

2) I think in "1001 Night" it presented two different times. For example at he beginning of " Tale of the Trader and the Jinni", it was about Ifrit wants to kill the merchant because the merchant kill his hon. And merchant said he is so wealth and the he needs to come back to his city for his wealth and his family and he will "come back to thee at the head of the New Year". Then Ifrit lets him go. When the day of the head of New Year arrives, he came back to the same place as he promise to Ifrit. This is considering as Teleological time. The story also provides entropic time. In the story of "Tale of hte Trader and Jinni", it follows another three stories. "The First Shaykh's Story" is about how first Shaykh's wife turn into gazelle. "The Second Shaykh's Story" is about how second Shaykh's two brother turn into dogs. And the "The Third Shaykh's Story" is about how third Shaykh's wife turn into mule. These are all three different unrelated stories. No one story lead to another.

3) "1001 Night" is deriving from Arabic cultures. In the story, it shows the evil of women such as they were witch and would tried to use their magic to turn their husbands into animals. Or they were cheating on their husbands if their husbands not at home. Most of women would stay at home and their husbands traveled around make money. Before Islam came to Arabic, women had no any right. They were treated with no respect. They had no freedom and they can not own any property. Men felt shame if his wife gave a birth of girl. Women in Islamic country today are much different than women back in traditional Arabic culture. Islam people are following the “Quran” which “Islam considers a woman to be equal to a man and as his partner in his life”. They have right to go out in the community and work outside of society. A woman in Islam has the right to knowledge and education.

I totally agree with you when it comes to Twitter, I'm definitely not a big fan. i like what you said though, how you supported everything with factual information and links. Seems like an interesting read.
