Preparations for Tet, or Vietnamese New Year, start two or three months before the actual celebrations. People
try to pay off their debts so that they can be debt-free on Tet. Parents buy new clothes for their children so that the

children can wear them when Tet arrives. Because a lot of commercial activities will stop the celebrations, people
try to purchase supplies as much as possible.

In the days leading up to Tet, the streets and markets are full of people. Everyone is busy buying food, clothes
and decorating their houses. Each family prepares some specia food for the holiday. Those who live far away
from home will try to come home to celebrate Tet with their family. Vietnamese families usually have a family
altar to pay respect to their ancestors. During Tet, the altar is thoroughly cleaned and new offerings are placed
there.

On New Year's Eve, each home is thoroughly cleaned and decorated with flowers and offerings for ancestors
by the night before Tet. Many people stay up until midnight to welcome the New Year or go to the pagoda to pray
for luck, prosperity, and happiness.

In the morning, actual Tet celebrations begin. The first day of Tet is reserved for the nuclear family. In big
cities, the streets are usually empty as most people stay at home or leave the city to visit their close relatives in the
countryside. Usually, children dress their new clothes and give the elder the traditional Tet wishes before receiving
the "lucky money".

parental expectations can cause great damage to children.

ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are very
supportive of their child.

taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him

50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father
plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he
is u n w i lling .

Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians,
and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they
enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. Winston is always

favourite drinks.

The next thing to do is the shopping. Make sure buy more than enough of everything, and that someone can
help you carry it!

Animation traditionally is done by hand- drawing or painting successive frame of an object, each slightly
different than the proceeding frame. In computer animation, although the computer may be the one to draw the
different frames, in most cases the artist will draw the beginning and ending frames and the computer will produce
the drawings between the first and the last drawing. This is generally referred to as computer- assisted animation,
because the computer is more of a helper than an originator.

In full computer animation, complex mathematical formulas are used to produce the final sequences of
pictures. These formulas operate on extensive databases of numbers that defines the objects in the pictures as they
exist in mathematical space. The database consists of endpoints, and color and intensity information. Highly
trained professionals are needed to produce such effects because animation that obtains high degrees of realism

involves computer techniques from three- dimensional transformation, shading, and curvatures.

High- tech computer animation for film involves very expensive computer systems along with special color
terminals or frame buffers. The frame buffer is nothing more than a giant image memory for viewing a single
frame. It temporarily holds the image for display on the screen.

A camera can be used to film directly from the computer’s display screen, but for the highest quality images
possible, expensive film recorders are used. The computer computers the position and colors for the figures in the
picture, and sends this information to the recorder, which captures it on film. Sometimes, however, the images are
stored on a large magnetic disk before being sent to the recorder. Once this process is completed, it is replaced for
the next frame. When the entire sequence has been recorded on the film, the film must be developed before the
animation can be viewed. If the entire sequence does not seem right, the motions must be corrected recomputed,
redisplayed, and rerecorded. This approach can be very expensive and time- consuming. Often, computer-
animation companies first do motion tests with simple computer- generated line drawings before selling their
computers to the task of calculating the high- resolution, realistic- looking images.

During the nineteenth century, women in the United States organized and participated in a large number of
reform movements, including movements to reorganize the prison system, improve education, ban the sale of
alcohol, grant rights to people who were denied them, and, most importantly, free slaves. Some women saw
similarities in the social status of women and slaves. Women like Elizabeth Candy Stanton and Lucy Stone were
feminists and abolitionists who supported the rights of both women and blacks. A number of male abolitionists,
including William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips, also supported the rights of women to speak and to
participate equally with men in antislavery activities. Probably more than any other movement, abolitionism
offered women a previously denied entry into politics. They became involved primarily in order to better their
living conditions and improve the conditions of others.

When the civil war ended in 1865, the Fourteen and Fifteen Amendments to the Constitution adopted in1868 and
1870 granted citizenship and suffrage to blacks but not to women. Discouraged but resolved, feminists
worked tirelessly to influence more and more women to demand the right to vote. In 1869, the Wyoming territory
had yielded to demands by feminists, but the states on the East Coast resisted more stubbornly than before. A

women’s suffrage bill had been presented to every Congress since 1878, but it continually failed to pass until
1920, when the Nineteenth Amendment granted women the right to vote.
