Why is it good to have a good memory if you are a herald, and what is one time you accidentally told someone the wrong message?
It is good to have a good memory if you are a town crier because everything is passed down by word of mouth. If you don't remember something correctly, you could seriously screw something up. A time I accidentally told someone the wrong message was when my dad told me to tell my mom to put a certain basket in the wash. I accidentally told my mom to wash the wrong basket, which were clean.

How do you think life is in North Korea?
I think life is a little bit scary. If someone hears you talking bad about the government, you could be arrested or killed. You would not be able to express your self for fear of being hurt. A lot of life would be dull because everyone is forced to like similar things.
