Follow the instructions here: ( document below ) Don’t try to do the assignment without reading those instructions! After, please comment on two student post . ( these are example of what other student write ) Student 1 Ashkan ( reply a comment 200 words around ) HOME ETHNOGRAPHY My home is filled with hardwood floors, white walls all the way around with brown kitchen cabinets. It is located in the center of the neighborhood, and in the center of the street. It gives a cozy feeling. I love my home. I see a few photos in picture frames beside a travel souvenir. This tells me memories and traveling is cherished. There is a desk on the left hand side of the t.v and dining table on the right. Furniture is in front of the t.v. There is a counter (where the pictures are) with chairs separating the kitchen from the living room. The living space is mainly used. The living space is where conversation takes place. I don’t think people will behave differently in a different kind of space. Everyone spends time in the kitchen to prepare meals. This home is significant because it’s close to the beach. Everyone takes care of this home. From an etic point of view there is a feeling of Iranian culture once you step in because you can smell the food from the kitchen. From an emic point of view there are reminders of my culture. Thank you.Student 2 Wenbo ( reply a comment 200 words around ) Home Ethnography I live in a rental apartment located at Alton Parkway, Irvine, CA. The environment is very conducive. There is a swimming pool within the building, the courtyards are serene, and the gym is open for 24 hours a day. The people who live in the building, especially my next-door neighbors, are relaxed and friendly. The apartment is a few minutes from the Diamond Jamboree Shopping center, which is very convenient. I love how the apartments have been strategically located in a place with social amenities close by. The environment makes me feel comfortable and provides a homey feeling away from home. I am an international student, and I come from China. I live in a one-bedroom apartment. The apartment is fully furnished. The sitting room has one couch that I mainly chose because it’s made of leather. The couch is brown, and it gives a vintage touch. There is also a glass table at the center. It is rectangular and looks quite classy. The TV is mounted on a stand next to the wall. On the same stand below the TV is my woofer, which is Bluetooth enabled to connect it to my phone and listen to some of the songs I like. There is a flower vase on my table with beautiful white and pink carnations. There is a large portrait of my girlfriend and me on the wall. Every time I look at it, I’m filled with deep emotion since she has been an essential part of my life. She lives with me currently. The kitchen is my happy place. I love cooking; therefore, I have invested so much in my kitchenware like a pressure cooker, rice cooker, and a noodle machine. The kitchen space is relatively small for me, but it allows me to do most of my cooking comfortably, so I cannot complain much. I have two cats, Hellen and Zhanzhan. My girlfriend and I have become so attached to these pets they feel like they are part of us. The cat beds are in the living room near the TV. They are very playful, and they have had several fights so far. My living room looks quite simple but attractive. It is spacious, and our friends join us for video game nights on some weekends. The washroom has a toilet, a bathroom, and a sink. There is also a small mirror which has a shiny black frame and looks very nice. The kitchen is used for anything food-related, and I get very creative in there. The bedroom has a king-size bed with white cotton sheets and a warm grey duvet. The bedroom has a white theme which looks quite elegant, and I love it. This rental apartment has the necessities required in a house. It is quite affordable and offers value for my money.
