Directions: Read the short Korean story entitled, The Vanity of the Rat. Then, answer the
questions that follow.

The Vanity of the Rat

A long time ago, there was a rat couple who had a daughter. They had no other
children so they gave her everything. The time came when their daughter is ready for
marriage so they wanted the best spouse for her. They looked for a rat that could best fit for
her daughter but to no avail.

One day, the father said that the sun would be a good husband for his daughter
because it is the most powerful and bright.

They asked the sun if he could marry their daughter. The sun felt honored but
refused because he said that the cloud is more powerful since the sun is powerless with it.

They climbed up a mountain to see the cloud. They asked the same thing, in which
the cloud also refused because the wind is more powerful since the cloud goes wherever he
blows.

They found the wind in a grove of trees and asked to marry their daughter. Likewise,
the wind also refused because he can blow everything but the stone.

They head to the stone and still asked the same question. The stone refused. The
reason is although the wind cannot move him, the rats and moles could since they can
burrow under the stone’s feet and the latter fall over.

In the end, their daughter married a rat.

Comparing and Contrasting London and Washington, DC

By Scott McLean in Writing for Success

Both Washington, DC, and London are capital cities of English-speaking countries,
and yet they offer vastly different experiences to their residents and visitors. Comparing and
contrasting the two cities based on their history, their culture, and their residents show how
different and similar the two are.

Both cities are rich in world and national history, though they developed on very
different time lines. London, for example, has a history that dates back over two thousand
years. It was part of the Roman Empire and known by the similar name, Londinium. It was
not only one of the northernmost points of the Roman Empire but also the epicenter of the
British Empire where it held significant global influence from the early sixteenth century on
through the early twentieth century. Washington, DC, on the other hand, has only formally
existed since the late eighteenth century. Though Native Americans inhabited the land
several thousand years earlier, and settlers inhabited the land as early as the sixteenth
century, the city did not become the capital of the United States until the 1790s. From that
point onward to today, however, Washington, DC, has increasingly maintained significant
global influence. Even though both cities have different histories, they have both held, and
continue to hold, significant social influence in the economic and cultural global spheres.

Both Washington, DC, and London offer a wide array of museums that harbor many
of the world’s most prized treasures. While Washington, DC, has the National Gallery of Art
and several other Smithsonian galleries, London’s art scene and galleries have a definite
edge in this category. From the Tate Modern to the British National Gallery, London’s art
ranks among the world’s best. This difference and advantage has much to do with London
and Britain’s historical depth compared to that of the United States. London has a much
richer past than Washington, DC, and consequently has a lot more material to pull from
when arranging its collections. Both cities have thriving theater districts, but again, London
wins this comparison, too, both in quantity and quality of theater choices. With regard to
other cultural places like restaurants, pubs, and bars, both cities are very comparable. Both
have a wide selection of expensive, elegant restaurants as well as a similar amount of global
and national chains. While London may be better known for its pubs and taste in beer, DC
offers a different bar-going experience. With clubs and pubs that tend to stay open later than
their British counterparts, the DC night life tend to be less reserved overall.
 Both cities also share and differ in cultural diversity and cost of living. Both cities
share a very expensive cost of living—both in terms of housing and shopping. A downtown
one-bedroom apartment in DC can easily cost $1,800 per month, and a similar “flat” in
London may double that amount. These high costs create socioeconomic disparity among
the residents. Although both cities’ residents are predominantly wealthy, both have a
significantly large population of poor and homeless. Perhaps the most significant difference
between the resident demographics is the racial makeup. Washington, DC, is a “minority
majority” city, which means the majority of its citizens are races other than white. In 2009,
according to the US Census, 55 percent of DC residents were classified as “Black or African
American” and 35 percent of its residents were classified as “white.” London, by contrast,
has very few minorities—in 2006, 70 percent of its population was “white,” while only 10
percent was “black.” The racial demographic differences between the cities is drastic.

Even though Washington, DC, and London are major capital cities of English-
speaking countries in the Western world, they have many differences along with their
similarities. They have vastly different histories, art cultures, and racial demographics, but
they remain similar in their cost of living and socioeconomic disparity.
