Easter

Easter sunday is a christian religous day. This is the day in which Jesus was resurrected. Many people have come to think that Easter is just a fun day to wake up and go search for eggs that the Easter bunny hid during your sleep. Obviously, it is much more than that. Usually there will be a feast with ham to celebrate the resurrection. Easter is also the day that lent comes to an end, this means you no longer must be in a time of fasting and prayer. Easter is a fun holiday, but also a very religous one in the christian faith.

Bollywood

Bollywood is much like America's Hollywood although it has many different twists and turns. It is the center of Indian film making and comes out with some of the best films in India. This is not like Hollywood in which it is not a phisical place, rather it is the string of producers in Indian cinema. Most of Bollywood's films are musicals, but also include other genres such as comedy, drama, romantic, and thriller. Most of the films is done in Indian english, but more films are being made fully english. Bollywood is a great film industry and will keep on for decades to come, but will always be an underdog to America's great Hollywood.

The women in ancient greece did more than you might think. Other than learning to read and write, women learned how to do common household chores for the family. The girls would get married in there teens, often to a man much older. Before this marriager the girl's fathers had complete control over them, then the control was overturned to the husband. The role of the women in ancient greece was interesting and had some of the same traits of females in different cultures.
