1) On the twitter, people like to use pass tense and present. They just like to tell others what happened or what is going on. Also, some people want to share their ideas with others. So the twitter is like a classroom where people (students) can learn and give knowledge. I see that twitter is very amusing because if all of friends meet on twitter at same time, they will discuss whatever topic they chose as like conference call. It will be like they are seating in the same classroom. Twitter have changed my daily schedule little bit because I all ways want to long in the computer to see what somebody have posted.
2) On the 1001Nights, I see that there is a lot of fates play round. For example when I look through of this story “TALE OF THE TRADER AND THE JINNI” It seems like how people used to teach kids in Africa in the time antic. In the night, all kids get together under the big tree call “Baobab” and tell a tale according to their lives in the town. From the tale, they can teach kids how to be careful in the life. Like it happened to merchant, he was on his way to collect his money. Then Ifrit appeared to with a drawn sword to kill him. Therefore, kids can learn from that kind of fiction how to behave in the life to make good live. Also on this 1001Nigths, I see that there is stellar time in the beginning where “an Ifrit appeared the merchant” and interfere his daily schedule. Also, when I put all story together I see that the narrator uses the entropic time. He just put three different stories with the same name “Shakh’s story”.
3) Since Islamic religion has spread over Arabic countries, the Arabic countries have changed a lot especially against women. According to scholars, Arabic people used to kill their baby girls because for girl to get married at that time, her parent had to have money. Therefore, most families didn’t want to have a baby girl. However, Islamic religion has changed all of that behavior in Arabic world. So, we can see today, women are treated with respect in Islamic countries. There scholars ladies to today in the Arabic world, Islam recommended "thateveryone must looks for knowledge".In the Islamic community, the must respectful person after “Imam” is the women. So, I think any old fashion behavior against women will not be accepted today in the Islamic countries.

i pick the same story as yours the "Tale of the Trader and the Jinni" i agree with you that the "The First Shaykh's Story", "The Second Shaykh's Story" and "The Third Shaykh's Story" are consider as stellar time. Because they are three unrelated stories. No one story is lead to the another. Another point that at make is it also can be consider as telecological time because the story begin with the merchant and Ifrit. When Ifrit wants to kill him, the merchant promise him that he will come back to him at he head of the New Year. So the little three story happen when the merchant come back to see Ifrit.
It is sad how women were treated in the past, I have a similar view as yours, and i can't think of a reason why they would treat women in such ways, specially because they are germinated, created, born out of a women, i would not want in any way to be part of a world that women were worse than an animal. I am glad that much is changed, but i still think that there are more things that should be accepted in the society.
I agree with Soraiya. There is still a lot that has to change in the Arabic world. Women are more equal than a long time ago but still depend largely on their husbands or men. A women in some Arabian countries can not travel alone or can not leave the country without her husbands consent. And if she does get permission she is not allowed to take the children, just in case she takes off. There has been a lot of change and more and more women are even seen in poitics but it is still not enough. As I said, men still dominat, but I think thats not just true for Arabian countries.
i think what you wrote is interesting, but i do not agree with you pertaining to the idea that twitter is like a classroom, i feel as though twitter is useless and pointless withing our society. Facebook which came before twitter updated people with their immediate activities, and to put out another website which solely updates people on their every activity is nonsensical. Nonetheless, i agree with you with your point regarding female children in islamic countries. Families do wish to not have female babies, because they are treated poorly. They are not viewed in society as being equal to men and therefor do not have as good of a chance to be successful in life.
