What would you say about Tom Ripley, judging by his behavior, in view of the fact that he haskilled two people several days ago? Would you consider him as a mentally ill person or anabsolutely sane, cruel and calculating man?
I, personally, consider him to be absolutely mentally ill, cruel, immoral person, because normally, we don't kill our friends just because of unrequited love. Moreover, I think he was in fever while killing his friend in a boat, judging by his behavior, his eyes and cold mind at that moment. On the other hand, you should be very clever, very calculating person in order to hide the death of two people and pretend to be one of them for such a long period of time. I can describe him as a very confident person, that he was able to come through unscathed, calculating, calm, cruel, suffering from a mental disease that could be very dangerous for the society, as you never know what to expect from him. I think it's unsafe to live with such a person, however, it's hard to tell that he has mental problems, judging by short-lasting conversation with him.

no civilization.....
Now I remember the words that our teacher ones said : "Someday you will understand that the only thing that you want right now is to escape for everybody, to hide somewhere on an island, to fence in barbed wire and spend sometime alone." I think that this time has come. Now I realy feel that I don't want to communicate, to socialize with others, I feel tired of the constant stress and fast-moving events. I think that some days in peace and quite atmosphere will help me to recharge the batteries. I know, that it's impossible to run away from problems, because they will reach you as soon as you return home, all problems should be solved, but it worth leave them for a while in order to deal with them with new strength. Moereover, we get tired not only of people, but of the noise of the town, of the environment, of the fuss.
I think that I would like to spend at least the whole day without any mobile phones, people and troubles.

Sacred Writing:If I won 1 million $ what I would do?
Probably, I would be very unpractical and would spend money like water, but I want to set off a long-lasting journey all over the world for me and my parents. Or I would organize a perfect wedding about which I have always dreamt. I would like to get merried on the seaside of an Island, surronded by my friends and relatives. The place abound me should be decorated with colourful balloons and white orchids. I would be dressed in the most beautiful wedding-dress, decorated with embroidered with butterflies and cristals. After the ceremony I would organize the greatest beach party.
But if I were more conscious, I would start a business, it would be a perfume shop or beauty salon. I would also buy a new car for my mother and me, or I would invest money in the building of my own house somewhere far from the town.

Sacred Writing: identity
It's rather difficult to speak about identity. For me, it's something that distinguishes people from each other , something that differentiates people according to their names, nationality, social status, age ,character, facial features, figure and so on and so forth. It goes without saying that we all unequal not only according to our social roles, religion, but we have different tastes, political views, opinions even about one and the sane problem, we possess different desires, future and fate. I think that is identity, it's something unusual in you that makes other people recognise you, it's something special about you (as your handwriting and gait).

What is self-improvement and what is self-destruction for you?
For me, self-imfrovement is the broadening out of my knowledge, views, gaining new experience in different spheres of life, changing the circle of acquaintance, changing the place of leaving and spending time. Of course it's also a difficult, sometimes tedious process of getting education. It demands the constant fight with your own lazyness, with your unawareness in some problems, it's the need to surmount the obstacles in order to descover something new, which is the main perpose of education and self-improvement processes.
Sometimes, it's the battle with oyur bad habits, with your character, your temper for the sake of the perfect relationship with the opposite sex or your relatives. I face with the negative side of having an unbearable character very often and I know how it is difficult to change your way of reaction on the events around you, how difficult to change your manner of speaking. So, self-improvement is something that we all want to achieve, but only the lucky ones manage to do this.
As for the self-destruction I can say that it's the opposite process , it's gaining the bad habits not because you really understand that you need to smoke, for example, but when you do it because everybody does it. The funniest and at the same timethe most awful thing about it, that you understand how harmful it influence your health but you can't help but doing it still.
It's also the problem of self-actualization: when your life is a routine, a vicious circle, when you can do nothing but obeying the circumstances. When you don't have the possibility to master your skills, to fill the gaps of your knowledge because the lack of time or money.
I feel sorry for women who sit at home for all their lives, who don't work, don't study, they just get married and look after the baby. Of course, it the greatest thing to have ahusband who is capable to keep the family, but for me this is the utopia.

What is happiness for you and what do you need to be happy?
It's a very difficult question for me to answer now, as I have never thought about it properly. I like to spend time with my friends - and this makes me feel happy, I like to spend time with my close people(relatives and boyfried) - and this also makes me feel happy. I like lilies and colourful balloons - and once again-it makes me happy.
Sometimes I think that I would be happy to have a husband and two kids, good job, my own house and a dog. Actualy, for me today it's very difficult to define what I understand under the word "happiness". The first association with it is calmness. I don't like to cry and feel sorry for myself, I don't want to feel depressed. I guess that's all that is important for me now - just smile to a new day and beleive that everything is goining to be great!!!

Sacred Writing: what makes a great teacher?
I, personally, wanted to be a teacher from the childhood. I used to spoil all the possible surfaces at home with chalk, explaining to my toys hot to count and write.
I think that first af all teacher should know his subject so well in order to explain it in simple words to pupils. He or she should practise a lot and all the time improve his or her knowlrdge, find something interesting and new for sharing it with pupils. A good teacher should always have something to say, no matter what the problem is:whether it is from the feild of his or her knoledge or something concerning the policy or medicine. Of course, he or she must be aware of the modern tendences and interests of children for start where the kids are. Teacher should treat all the pupils like equals, without pointing out their uncompetence to understand new material, not to abuse them in class for not being prepared. Teacher should find the way to involve children in the process of getting education, help them in it, sometimes be for them like friend. Moreover, in my opinion, the appearance, style in cloths, make-up and character are very important for teacher.
