What were the three most important events? 1. The event that mother died. The lives of Cassie and Foxfire gets harder 2. The event that father fought the demons and came back. The lives of the brother and the sister changed a lot with the appearance of the father. 3. Foxfire going to the golden mountains. They got money. c. In what ways are you different from the main character? Be specific. There are two main characters. Foxfire and Cassie. I differ from Foxfire because I don't cry a lot. I also differ from Cassie because I wouldn't want to help Uncle Windy. d. List five things about the setting of the story. 1. China, in a small village. 2. When the demons attacked them. 3. When the Chung was falling, other countries from Europe was invading and people went to North America to get gold. 4. The time when Industrial Revolution was happening in England and Europe started expanding their colonies and when they wanted to trade with China. 5. When China and Japan was interfering Korea and fighting each other to get Korea (Chosun) e. What do you think are three major themes (messages that the author is trying to get across) in the story? Why? I think the three important things are caring about family, money, and the society of China. You can know that the author is trying to tell the readers about caring family members because almost all of this is about love between family. Money, because they needed money the whole time, and China's society and situations because the father goes out to the war and that is the major background. f. What are three good things you could say about this book? You can know the general background of China. It also tells you how family is important especially when Cassia's foot almost gets tied up. 'Money is important'. This is the thing that I thought of. They always needed money and food to live. They lives were miserable when they didn't have money.

comments on poem

dreams: I think the message is to keep your dreams and make a goal. Life is a Barren field got my attention. It was interesting that a life can be a batten field.

I liked the phrase 'And I wish I had died' because it is interesting to see someone who wants to die. The Negro speaks of Rivers: It sounds like this guy is bragging that he knows many rivers, but it looks like it means that negro should not be treated differently.

It might be a good way of studying and developing your poem because you have a chance on listening to other people's poem and you will get new ideas and be better at writing it. It can also be helpful because you have to stand in front of other people and speak.

It would be a great adventure, and a great discovery!Another thing i will do, if i go to the past, is to meet all the ancient people and help them develop.

22March 13, Look at your won 5 page paragraph. Rate yourself for sentence fluency- give evidence + examples

3 Sentences are usually constructed correctly. My mom bought CDs of Mozart's musics since I was young so I had lots of chances to hear Mozart's musics.



La familia de Felipe IV o "Las Meninas The focus of the picture is at the girl in the middle. She looks like she is rich and people who is surrounding seems to be her family. The mood seems to be kind of serious and looks to have a party. There is a mirror above the girl's head, and that reflects two men. One of the men would be the person who drew this and the person behind her in a black cloths looks like a painter. I also noticed that there is a dog and the dog doesn't seem to be happy or healthy.

This looks like a painting of someone that is important. The mood look serious and fierce. The person who is in the picture looks someone that is in a high rank.

March 9th 5 paragraph essay 5. Talk about your favorite music and why you like it.

My favorite song is Mozart Clarinet Concerto 2nd movement. This music is very famous and it is called Adagio, meaning slowly. As it means slowly, the music is very slow and you can listen the beautiful sound of the clarinet.

My mom bought CDs of Mozart's musics since I was young so I had lots of chances to hear Mozart's musics. I have been hearing them since I was young. Mozart is my favorite composer. Mozart's musics are friendly to me, and I like all of Mozart's musics. His musics are dominant with full of emotions-smooth, fierce strong, quiet, etc. That is probably why I like musics from Mozart. This music was composed my Mozart. This is my favorite music from all of Mozart's musics.

This music if very beautiful. The notes matches with the sound of the clarinet. The scales and arpeggios(the notes of a CHORD played quickly one after other) make the music more dominant and beautiful. When I hear this music, it makes my mind comfortable and I can organize my thoughts while reducing stress. With the combination of the slow beat and the sound of the clarinet is kind of addicting and makes you want to hear more. When I hear this music over and over, it makes me feel like I am sleeping on a grass field in a nice weather, sunlight shining over my body with weak wind blowing in a peaceful day.

Most of all, I can play this music. I feel comfortable and happy when I play my favorite music by Mozart. I have many other musics that I like, but those music are not for the clarinet. So I can't play them, I can just listen to them. I hear this every day, and play this every day I practice my clarinet.

I think this music is the best music. It makes me comfortable and happy when I hear the music.
