3rd world countries

A 3rd world country is when a country lives in poverty.  One of these countries are Africa. Africa is a very poor country and has very little clean water. Most people in Africa have to walk hours just to get to where the water is, and it's not clean water. People go to the toilet in rivers and clean themselves in the river as well. A lot of people and kids die every day in Africa because of not enough water or they starve to death. New Zealand is a first world country. Although, 1/6 families in New Zealand suffer from poverty.

A Rose By Any Other Name Would Smell As Sweet

A Rose By Any Other Name Would Smell As Sweet is a famous quote my Shakespeare that was used in the movie Romeo and Juliet, in the 1600's

This is the sentence that Juliet said in the movie:
"Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a Montague, Whats a Montague? Its not a hand, nora foot, nor a arm, nor a face, nor any other part belonging to man. O, be some other name! whats in a name? That witch we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo call'ed retain that dear perfection which he owes without that tittle. Romeo, doff thy name, and for that name which is no part of thee, take all myself.

She said this at Romeos house because she is trying to say that it doesn't matter that Romeos name is they can still be together.

The meaning of A Rose By Any Other Name Would smell As Sweet is that it doesn't matter what something is called it will still smell at sweet as a rose. It doesn't matter if something is called mud or something you would think it smells nice, it will still smell like a rose.
