One Meenakshi was pregnant and she was expecting a daughter because when she first had sons and at that time, she felt ill but she wasn’t this time. She wanted to bear the baby during the Raja’s birthday but she didn’t so she got very upset. However on the way home, she met a crow, which was trying to ask for food to Meenakshi. Suddenly when Meenakshi felt a pain and finally at last she bore Parvati in the street. When Parvati grew up, Meenakshi told her about the birth and how she grew. Also, she added that this wasn’t the crow’s fault.

__Two__ One astonishing fact about this chapter was that the new born infant, Parvati, had a beautiful eyes looking at Meenakshi, even though she was a new born baby. When Meenakshi was going back home, there was a terrible storm, which made her to arrive late. Also, there was a tragic news from Sathya that Sundar died. After hearing the news, Meenakshi was in grief.

__Three__ Meenakshi went to Sathya’s house and when they arrived, Sathya’s wife peered at Parvati. Unexpectedly, Parvati peered her back, which meant that Parvati was reading her thoughts. Later, Meenakshi and Sathya family had to run away from the vast storm that seemed that it will be endless. When they arrived to see the priest, Mr. Balaraman, he recommended to release the decease before the sun sets. After Sundar’s funeral, Meenakshi decided to stop crying because she thought that it wasn’t good for Sarvati.

Four There was a terrible rumor that Raja’s child was sick and because Maharaja had only daughter’s, one son’s birth meant great. Raja ordered foods and safe refugees however, Chitra became weaker and weaker. When the kids were sick, Parvati was the only one who was strong and healthy. Chitra was unhappy toward Meenakhsi and her daughter because of Meenakshi’s disrespect toward her. Chitra began talking back of Meenakshi’s back. In the villages, several children were taken by a tiger, which made the story more freaky.

Five Everyone was scared of the tigers coming out to the village. So finally, Maharaja Deva went over to district collector and asked for permission to hunt for tigers. The district collector told Maharaja to bring other people with him. Visitors came with elephants and automobiles. One day, someone threw dried mud at Meenakshi, which meant that people in the village disliked Meenakshi and Parvati because all the storm thing happened because of those two.

Six  Parvati was growing in excellent health. She hung well with her brothers. Meenakshi comforted Parvati all the time but because Meenakshi had to work, Parvati spent time dancing. Village boys teased her, and her cousins teased her along with them, and so one evening, Parvati's brother told Mohan, their cousin that he should be defending Parvati, not teasing her like all the others. Then, their cousins did not tease Parvati. One day, Parvati and her family were at the Dussehra festival, and there was music and a dancer, who caught Parvati's gaze and then she was gone. One day, Parvati leapt into the fire when no one was looking and heard a music and started to dance to it. Her mother saw and pulled Parvati out of the fire and was shocked when she saw that Parvati's body was not burnt.

Seven The incident of Parvati dancing became famous. One day, Meenakshi asked her children for some wood for fuel. Parvati found a woodpile in which other village boys were playing cricket near by. They told her not to go near because there was a cobra that demanded the life of a child before she let the village have wood again. However, Parvati was set on the wood, and so she took a piece of wood from the pile, and the boys all yelled at her to stop. Then, the largest snake she had ever seen slid up and looked at Parvati straight in the eyes. Her brothers told her to get away, but they were too frightened to do anything. All the others, but her brothers and Mohan, ran away, but Parvati started to dance, and the cobra swayed with her. The boys were transfixed on her, and when the dancing stopped, the cobra disappeared.

Eight When Sathya, her uncle, returned, Parvati decided to go. Meenakshi and Parvati were left off at a train station by Sathya so that Parvati could go and learn many things.They waited for the train and saw all the wonders of the marketplace. She told her mother that she would be a great dancer-the best of the world. However, Meenakshi told Parvati that they would no longer be a family. The next day when they got off the train, went to gurukulam.

Nine Meenakshi and Parvati were welcomed by a woman called Indira infront of the door.Then the woman introduced four girls ; Kamala, Rukmani, Nalini, and Uma. Then Rukmani and Kamala were to take her to her room. Parvati opened the bundle her mother had packed for her, and picked up the Shiva Nataraja statue. She put it on the table and then found her mother facing Indira, listening to the older woman talk. Indira told Parvati and her mother of the schedule and gave Parvati a sari to wear. Then the time came for Parvati to say goodbye to her mother. When her mother left, Parvati had to live a new life that she’d never experience before.

Ten Parvati was not fluent of speaking Tamil, and she grew accustomed to the new ways of the gurukulam. However, she dropped dishes and pans when she tried to remember her family. Eventually, she got in trouble. One night, Parvati came into her room, only to find that Kamala was there, on the account that she couldn't sleep. Parvati told her that she did not sleep very well either, even as a child. Parvati also told Kamala that she could remember everything that happened to her as a child. After six months, there was a letter from her family that assured her that all was well, and that the money that they got thanks to Parvati really helped. Parvati was writing to them once a week. Nalini and Parvati became good friends. Nalini loved to hear about Parvati’s family and stories about her dancing. Nalini also wished to meet a handsome stranger, who would carry her off. Parvati sadly believed that it was her fault that the village had a bad luck but Nalini strongly refused and said it was ridiculous. During their conversation, Parvati told Nalini about the statue, which her dad had carved. Parvati also mentioned that she had known how to dance even before she walked. Luckily, Nalini believed. One day, Nalini told Parvati that she met the mysterious stranger, whom she wished. The next Saturday when all the students were at their weekly chores. Suddenly there was a gunfire. Everyone was there except for Nalini, who was out in the market to buy stuff for her chore. Nalini told everyone about Mayappan, who was the handsome stranger and the leader of a band. He and his men stole it from the rich and gave it to the poor. Later, there was several poster posted saying that there is going to be a reward whoever catches this guy. That night, Nalini was sad because Mayappan did not come to meet her today. Everyone thought that it was too dangerous for Nalini to go to the bazaar alone so few people went with her. Nalini, Indira, and Parvati were having a good time and suddnely, there was a sound of weapons being fired. Then Dacoits came and the leader, Mayappan took Nalini then vanished. After Nalini was gone, Parvati had to spent her time studying and dancing. Lots of girls were making fun of her by calling Monkey King or Bird Girl. She soon hears from her family that Venkat was getting married. Parvati practices hard on dancing and at last, Guru tells her that she was ready for the arrangetram. People came over to shee Parvati dance. Kalpana told her that she did great and said that the Maharaja of Namdipuram had asked for her to perform on the Raja’s birthday. Parvati went into the train to Nandipuram. She was very delighted that she was also got to see her family for a week. Later, when she arrived, she became firend with Sumitra, who was Venkat’s wife. They did the laundry together, which made they become more close. Parvati and Sumitra went to the bazaar everyday to sell Meenakshi’s vegetables to the grocer and other places. One day, Sumitra felt dizzy and ill. When Sumitra asked Parvati to get pineapples for her. Parvati went to the market place to get it and saw someone who reminded her of Nalini. Anyway Sumitra got better after eating pineapples. Two days later, Sumitra was sick again. When Yuvaraja tried to talk with Parvati when she was alone doing the laundry, but sadly, she ignored. However, Yuvaraja keep followed her and finally asked her if anyone knew that he was dressed up as a fisherman. Anyways, when it was time for her to leave, Parvati stronly would miss her family. When Kalpana and Parvati arrived at the palace, the Yuvaraja came in and told Parvati about how her father had saved his father. Later when Kalpana came, the Yuvaraja hid. Kalpana showed Parvati the clothing that the Maharani gave. Surprisingly Yuvaraja was gone when Parvati looked back. They both practiced as hard as they can. Later Parvati determined that she will not be able to let Rama in because she was going to be performing in front of people in two days. In Kalpana’s room, Kalpana, Guru, and Parvati sat together in order to hear about Geru’s stories. During their conversation, Parvati told Kalpana that she missed her family a lot. Later when Rama came in and told Parvati that it was all his fauly to be the cause of her father’s death. However, Parvati told him that all of the disaster including the storm was all her fault because she was born in the same day. After this incident, they became more close and Rama decided to come back and talk with Parvati the next day. Parvati was busy practicing for the performance. Once, Rama came and toured the palace to her just to make sure she didn’t struggle. Even while Parvati was wearing her costume, her mind was totally on Rama. After the meal, Parvati, Kalpana, and Rama went to their rooms. Rama showed Parvati diverse types of roms and asked her to come with him to America because Rama was going to study medicine. He also added that she could teach children how to dance while she’s in America. Someone knocked on the door while Rama and Parvati were in a room. Rama left to hide and Kalpana came in. Sadly the next day, the Guru’s jewelry was gone. Parvati suspected Mayakkan because when she remembered the girl who she saw and who looked like Nalini. She thought of how Mayakkan stole things from the rich. She also had trouble thinking of whether or not to go with Rama because of this robbery. However she knew that she had risked everything to dance. When Guru and Kalpana began to know each other, they started to search the lost jewelry. They were all surprised when they found out that monkeys hid it. Also, Parvati saw a scene, which she somehow though it was a dream, of telling Rama that her destiny was to dance. Finally, it was time for the performance. She was so nervous that she felt as if her feet didn’t even belong to her. She heard a voice of Shiva telling her that she was the magic of possibilities.

**Option #2 Mar. 20th** **!> Autobiography (comparing Juan’s life and my life, telling Juan’s life)**
 * Before reading this book, i didn’t actually think logically what i want from life and what i care about. Juan, the main character in the book, had one strong wish that he wanted from his life, “Freedom”. In my life, i’ve never thought about freedom unless i was struggling with school work. One major thing i want from my life is related to sleeping. I think i need protracted sleep because usually i can’t sleep that well. For Juan, sleeping wasn’t the only problem. Having less amount of sleep was just a small aspire for him. He wanted Freedom! He thought when he retain his freedom and live a normal life, he will be able to sleep well and be more comfortable.**
 * Juan couldn’t think about freedom just yet because he was a slave. Slaves can’t be freed without his/her master’s permission. After his mother and father died, he felt lonely. Later when he became the slave of the great Spanish painter Diego Velazquez, he began to get interested in art. So he began to help his master by cleaning the studio, preparing paints and stretching canvases. While he was the slave of Diego, Juan had varieties of experiences. He once loved a girl named Muri. He also experienced painting an art work, which was forbidden. He taught himself how to paint by watching his master’s technique. Many times, he feared that he’s going to be sold to a cruel master. He struggled with this after he met Muri, the black slave who he loved. Even though, Juan wasn’t able to meet Muri, he put her in his mind and began to think about marriage. At that time, slaves usually couldn’t get married. Especially when the master is cruel. However, Juan’s master was different. Diego let Juan marry to his house slave and gave him freedom.**

 * 2> My favorite parts of the book2> My favorite parts of the book**
 * This book, I, Juan de Pareja, included several engrossing and fascinating parts. However, some parts went miserable. For instance, when Diego’s second daughter died and when Juan was getting beaten up by Don Carmelo. Instead of listing several tragedy events, i will tell you my three most preferences after reading this book. One of my favorite part was when Juan first fell in love with Muri. It was Juan’s first experience to love someone, because he didn’t have right to marry or like someone. The story starts like this. Juan went to a banquet and he saw a girl about his own age, who was signing in low deep voice. Juan knew that he couldn’t love someone, even a slave. Even though he didn’t have chance to meet Muri, he kept thinking about her until he got freed from his master. My second favorite part of this book was when Juan secretly draws. First, he didn’t know drawing was illegal for slaves but after master refuses to teach him how to draw, he notices it. However, his strong compassion that he wants something didn’t stop him. Then he began copying his master’s work secretly. My opinion according to this reaction is that it is fairly okay for slaves. It’s because that if they can’t marry, and they can’t have right to own property. If they can’t even be taught from someone, i think that’s so unfair. Luckily now i am happy that at the end of the story he was freed and now he have right to own property and get taught from someone. My last favorite part of this book was when Juan was getting freed and when he finally got married to someone! The time when he got freed was when Juan was beside his master as a assistant. Then, King found out that Juan was drawing illegally. Juan thought he was going to get punished harshly. However instead, King gave an opportunity to Diego whether he’s going to punish him or not. Master decided not to punish him also, he gave freedom to Juan, which made me surprised. I thought Juan was going to be punished and get kicked out of Diego’s house. Whew~ Juan is now freed and also married! Now i think Juan is satisfied with his life. Only thing i worry of all the other slaves is that they rarely get freed.

**3> Three paintings of Diego Velazquez3> Three paintings of Diego Velazquez**
 * First painting is named “Philip IV” In the story the King asked Diego Valazquez to paint a portrait of him. In this painting the king’s personality looks severe and looks like someone who gets easily offended. However, in his real life he was a shy man. Especially when he was talking to Diego Velazquez, his voice went down and he tried his best to be kind to him. Even though Diego knew king’s real life, he expressed King Philip IV very leadership type of a guy. I think this painting is very unexpected picture. From this painting we can see Diego’s skills as an artist. This painting gives me an emotional response to me at once! The overall mood of this painting is suitable for the subject. For the composition, the main subject which is, King Philip IV, is drawn in the center and Diego put other stuffs such such as, desk or the room, in the outside of the picture. According to this painting, unexperienced artist will learn an important thing. How to change the mood of the painting. I think color of this painting is very calm and it looks life King is very organized person. There aren’t any varieties of different colors.

Second painting is painting of king’s daughter. I would consider this painting as unique. For most of the prince and princesses paintings, they don’t stand. They usually sit in a chair or something. There is little bit of emotional response from this painting. Overall mood and very well organized and background is suitable for the subject in the painting. Diego composed the subject in the center with white and bright colors. I think thats why the subject pops out. Then he finished other parts with dark colors such as brownish so that only the subject will make the painting alive. For skills, i think Diego used lots of his skills to express that the girl is happy and what she’s trying to do something right now.

The third painting is called, ‘Las Hilanderas’, which means the Spinners or the fable of Archne. It’s true that several women in this picture are spinning something to make clothes. I would rank that this painting is very unusual because they are several kinds of subjects. Other paintings such as painting 1 and 2 that i explained on the top, there were only one subject for each picture. However, for this one, if you don’t see very carefully, you might not notice the subject. The overall mood for this painting is exhilarating. Composition for this painting is very well organized because for many unexperienced painters, they just compose four women doing the same thing. However, Diego Valazquez composed them in various kinds of actions. Drawing four women doing all different kinds of things are very hard but because Diego had technique as an artist he made it. Also same goes with the colors. He put diverse types of colors to entertain the audience First painting is named “Philip IV” In the story the King asked Diego Valazquez to paint a portrait of him.

The first thing i noticed when i saw this drawing was that it was the portrait of someone. According to my research, it was the portrait of King Philip IV. He looks kind of shy but the painter drew the painting peacefully.

This little girl is in the room of a palace. She's wearing luxurious clothes. From this painting i am not sure, but i think its King's daughter or something. Right now, she is trying to sit on the chair beside her.

We all get angry at times, but different people react in different ways. Some people show their anger openly, and some hide it within themselves. Explain and describe what you do when you get mad.

= Many people express their feelings differently in many different situation. It might be feeling of anger, love, or maybe just jealous. Some people show their anger openly, however on the other hand, some people hide it within themselves. When i get mad i sometimes show it but usually i hide it within myself. There are several reasons why i hide my feelings. First of all, when i get mad its obvious that i won't be able to control my feelings. However when i can control my feelings, which is most of the time, i go to my own place, where no one's around, i shout as hard as i can. ^^ Then, i don't know why, but i can chill myself by doing this. Other feelings for example, i always hide when i am jealous with something. Some people show that their jealous but for me i just don't show up.^^
