North KoreaBy Michael Altman

Landscape

• North Korea has beautiful landscape.• But because of the war their terrain is a lot worse. • Their soil is not very rich and is not the best place to

grow food. • They have a lot of paddy fields which hold rice and

other products. • There way of farming is different from what we do or

what the Europeans do.

People of North Korea• The citizens of North Korea are tricked into thinking

that “The Great Leader” as they call him is a god. • North Korea is very strict and if they don’t like

someone or don’t do what they want they will exterminate anyone even their citizens.

• They don’t have a lot of food because they are one of the poorest countries.

• They are supposed to praise The Great Leader all the time and if they don’t they will be executed.

• Not only citizens but soldiers will be walking around everywhere.

Native Food

• If people are homeless then they are forced to eat “wild food”.

• These “wild foods” are tree bark, grass, poisonous grass, mushrooms and even poisonous mushrooms.

• But The Great Leader gets rice, seaweed, and other Korean cuisines.

• North Korea can have good food but Kim Jong Il does not want the people of his country to eat well.

This is something The Great Leader would get.

Sometimes people would even have to fight for food.

Religion

• In North Korea most people are forced to believe in “Juche”.

• Juche is the religion were they think that Kim Il Sung is god and his son Kim Jong Il is the son of god.

• Some people say that is the only religion they are allowed to practice if not they would be executed.

• Some escapees told reporters that Juche was the only religion allowed in North Korea.

Economic Growth

• The country doesn’t have the best economy. • The only things they can really sell is their rice or

their paddy fields. • The government isn't just giving them food like they

are supposed to they sell it to the citizens.

Sports/Leisure

• They have a national team for soccer. • They play soccer there but they don’t have the

money for soccer balls so they have to use rice balls.

• They don’t really like to play games except for the small children.

• The parents are out on the paddy fields most of the time they don’t have time for sports and leisure.

• Plus there government doesn’t really want them to be happy.
