so i have to write 5 limericks on madagascar
here is my "essay"
i chose madagascar for my project because my cousin is serving a mission, for the church of jesus christ of latter day saints. i want to learn more about the environment he lives in.
did you know that madagascar is the 4th largest island in the world! after separating from africa mainlands, madagascar has many plants and animals that can not be found anywhere else in the world. malagasy is the official language of madagascar. malagasy is a unique mixture of indonesian, african languages, arabic, and some malaysian. every four to seven years, families participate in a turning of the bones ritual (famadihana), in which they dig up the bones of relatives who have been buried since the last famadihana and wrap them in new shrouds or grass mats before returning them to their burial place.
the average malagasy person lives to around 65 years. they also go to about 6 years of school and have an average of 3 siblings.
most people wear mostly jeans, shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, dress shirts, sandals, and tennis shoes. for formal events or in a business setting, most people wear western dress clothes. rural people tend to wear traditional outfits. traditional attire includes the lamba for men and women and the malabar for men. women drape the lamba over their shoulders; men wrap it at the waist.
families usually eat meals together, beginning with breakfast, then lunch and later dinner. in between lunch and dinner a snack is usually eaten. urban malagasy eat at a table, while rural families usually eat on a fana banana (woven grass mat) on the floor. throughout the country, people eat with utensils, but some coastal groups eat with the right hand or using folded banana leaves as scoops.
a meal without rice may be considered incomplete. at each meal, rice is served with loaka. one popular loaka is henakisoa sy ravitoto. another is ro mazava. sakay, served on the side, is a mixture of chili peppers, ginger, and garlic. a common beverage is ranonapango, a drink made from water boiled in the browned rice that sticks to the bottom of the pan after cooking. seasonal fruits are served as dessert, including mangoes, litchis, pineapples, papaya, guava, strawberries, peaches, apples, oranges, and grapes. bananas are found year-round. manioc, sweet potatoes, and corn are served for breakfast, as snacks, or as side dishes, especially in the countryside. an urban breakfast can include buttered baguettes and jam.
