May

The flowers are waking The grasses are shaking The wind blows in the same way with the leaves and branches sway 10 days after may the first Jessica's birthday

Haiku

The spring is coming The snows are melting quickly The winter is passing

The flowers are singing The wind is blowing gently The birds are singing

"Dreams"

-'My soul has grown deep like the rivers' = it means you got mature. -'Maybe it just sags like a heavy load' = it starts to loose hope. -'The Negro Speaks of Rivers' = it means the negro cares about the river.

I see a raindrops. I can see a blue birds flying over me. I see the whole world in my eye. Children pointing at me and smiling with joy. Like a cotten candy, I sparkle over the world. Giving happiness to everyone in the world. I feel like an air and I stand for hope to everyone.

Step 1= A lot of people think that Blues music is all sad and gloomy. That is not true. Blues can be exciting and happy depending on your feelings. In order to do that, you have to discover and find your own feelings.

Step 2= your grammar don’t have to be always correct in Blues. Just focus on expressing yourself.

Step 3= Keep repeating the same line over and over again.

Step 4= Rhyme the words! Blues music is all about rhyming. Try rhyming the words at the end of each sentence.

Step 5= Make your title attractive. Hook audiences’ attention.

Step 6= Blues music is about the beat. Keep the beat alive! **

To make this country a better place, we will have to change three major things: education, president and environment. Korea is considered as a rich country by having Sam Sung and a lot of rich people. But, it is also considered as a horrible country comparing to other developed countries. Korea has serious problems of education, president, and environment. If we manage to fix those three things, I think Korea also can be a better country.======

=
First of all, to make Korea a better country, we should change our education system. These days, all the high school students and even college students are demonstrating against Korea’s education system. If you look at the news, newspaper and even in Internet, all we see is about demonstration by the students. Korea has obsession about grades and how smart we are. We should more focus on how artistic we can be and how imaginative we can be. Artists in Korea are slowly decreasing because everyone is focusing on your grades and how smart you can be. In America, you do things like interviewing people and focusing on their careers more than your test scores. In Korea, it seems like they only consider our SAT scores. It is good to find smart people, but Korea should work harder to find performing artists.======

=
Secondly, Korea’s biggest problem these days would be our dear president. I know, and everyone knows, that we can’t do anything about Myung Bak Lee. Still, he is the biggest issue these days and it is not in positive ways. He has done a lot of things that didn’t impress the citizens and people are regretting that they voted for him. He has issues about American beef, Dokdo and his ignorance toward the citizens. He did things just to make him look good toward America or other countries, but he never did anything that helped the citizens. During the voting season of a new President, there was a big issue about a ship with full of oil crashing in the middle of the sea. Myung Bak Lee seemed he was volunteering to help other people. Then, when the voting season was over, he suddenly stopped helping them.======

Finally, the last thing Korea should change to make this country a better place is environmental issues. Korea has serious environmental problems. I know every country does at this point, but Korea is also one of them. We have a massive amount of cars comparing to our population. Everyday, therer are smoke floating on the air and I really don't remember when was the last time I have seen a clear sky. There are black and grey cloud with no particular reasons. Mountains are losing trees and birds living in Korea have no where else to go and settle. This has been a serious problem for many years and it is now time for us to fix it.

Korea has been experiencing and going through a lot of issues and problems. For example, issues about education, president and environment. These all started with the small issue and it got much bigger now. For education, Korea is only focusing on students' grades and scores. We should more focus on their artistic skills and how creative they can be. For president, I have no more to say. He has done things that didn't make citizens happy about the USA beef, Dokdo, etc. Lastly, we have an environmental issues. There are black clouds out there and smoke everywhere. If we manage, at least try, to fix these problems, Korea will be a much better place.

Dear Mother,

Mother, I miss you so much like I always tell you in the letter. A lot of things have happened since the day I wrote you a letter. I am still in love with arts and paintings. I even paint by myself these days. I once saved the King's dog and he gave me some canvases and brushes as a thank you gift. I did have to steal some colors... I met a new friend named Murillo. I told him about my paintings and he said I shouldn't tell anyone like Master or Mistress. I think I should follow what he is telling me. Still, I am very happy that I am improving in my art skills. I want you to know that this is my dream and I want to earn it by myself. I hope God can listen to my prayers and help me. I met new people too. I met a girl named Miri and I think I kind of like her. I hope God helps me... I love you and miss you.

Joyfully, Juan
