DISCUSSION

1. Suppose that one of your friends is planning to thumb a ride somewhere. Make a list of suggestions for him or her to follow.

2. Think of several sentences like the examples below that you might say while you shake your finger at someone.

You're a bad boy.

When will you ever learn?

3. Many children in the United States learn the following poem. Some of them think that if you say the poem while crossing your fingers, your wish will come true. Star light, star bright, First star I see tonight; I wish I may, I wish I might Have the wish I wish tonight.

Star light, star bright,

First star I see tonight;

I wish I may, I wish I might

Have the wish I wish tonight.

Make five wishes and write them down.

4. In Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, there is a large sculpture of a thumb coming up out of the ground. Can we assume that this "thumbs up" has the same meaning that we learned here? Use your imagination and think of several explanations for what the artist was trying to communicate.

5. Are the fingers and thumb used to communicate the same things in your country that we learned here? Which of the gestures mentioned here are not used in your country
