Who is Rana?

My name is Rana, and I am from Jeddah which is located on the west coast of Saudi Arabia. For me, Jeddah means happiness, piece, and family. Now, I am studying English here in the US, and next semester I will start my master's in Finance. I live here with two of my sibling, so I do not feel lonely because of them. However I miss my home country, I enjoy living here. I love the idea of making a friendships with people from different countries. I can tell that the advantage of living here outweigh the downside because here I learned how to be independence and how to face obstacles.

Blog 4 Questions: Thoughts on society and The Giver

In what ways do we perceive memories in our society?
memories are the link between the past and the future, and all of us have happy and sad
memories. we smile when we remember any the happy memories, and learn lessons from
the bad one. in addition, it can be seen that memories have a good effect in building our
personality because beautiful memories  motive us up to see the beauty of this world.  
on the other hand, we always try to forget bad memories because They cause us depression 
as soon as we think about it.


What do you think would be different in the world if we had only one-generation memories?
 with one-generation memories, life would be boring and not interesting. all generations
 will have the same memories, so there will be no value for memories. in addition to that,
all generation will do the same mistakes over and over because they are sticking in the same memories.
