=Secret of the Andes = Secret of the Andes

Chapter 11-17

Chapter 11 Summary Have you ever imagined your dog leading to a sacred and mysterious place such as a hidden ancient church or temple? Nobody must have experienced it except a young Indian boy called Cusi. Cusi’s llama, Misti, made his owner to go to an Inca’s sacred ancient town. There, Cusi found a golden sandal that was too small for him to wear. When Cusi came backt o tell Chuto, Chuto told Cusi that it is a sign for him to leave and find a family….

Chapter 12 Character When the person close to you is miles away, can you know how that person feels like? Scientifically, it is proven impossible. However, the author of the Secret of the Andes tells as if Cusi and Chuto were able to see each other and their feeling even if they were miles away. When, Cusi didn’t find the family in the Low Valley like he wanted, Chuto was sad and crying. And Cusi knew and saw that in his mind. “he could feel the old man’s love giving him strength to do that which his heart had bidden…An old man on the mountaintop let his tears drop to heal the heartache of a lonely boy.”(76,77)

Chapter 13 Setting Glorious ancient city remains. Some of these cities are dwelled by people. Cusi goes to an ancient city called, Ayllu. Ayllu is an ancient city that keeps the ancient Inca culture. Ayllu it self means “town of the Ancient People”(82) In Ayllu, he meets other Indians like him. There Cusi knew some of the praise that they sang at the sunrise. This proved that they continued the culture as the Inca Indians.

Chapter 14 Summary At last, Cusi reached Cuzco to find the family. Cuzco is the huge ancient capital Inca city that is ruled over Spanish. There is still lots of Inca Indians left in the city. Cusi saw lots of Indians in the market place. He traded his llama wool and bout things.

Chapter 15 Setting Cusi meets his family in the church. The church was somewhat beautiful for Cusi. “There were white doves who cooed to their young in the bell tower nest.” “There were two great doors of the church were open and from its candle-lit, dim interior came the miffled sounds of prayer, and out, in and out”(97) However, there was something that felt Cusi bad. It was the begger who begged for money. There is always good and bad!!!

Chapter 16 Theme Now Cusi found the truth. Cusi knew the family he found in Cuzco was not his family. His real family was Chuto. He knew it for sure. Because when he bought things in Cuzco, he bought each two. One was for himself and other one was for Chuto. Cusi knew it now. The real family and home was place he was familiar and where they really care him. That was hidden valley, where Chuto dwells.

Chapter 17 Solution Cusi solved his problem and quest, “Finding a family”. Cusi was tested. Cusi was not triked and came back as he “follow his heart”. Chuto tells Cusi his truth. His father was also trained like him. However, his father ran away from the training. His mother was dead few days ago by landslide. However, he felt his mother was not gone. He saw her and has her memory. Now Cusi is going to go to travel with the herd.

Poem 4/23/09
My head is like a bowling ball. It is heavy and hard filled with ideas.
 * //1. Self Portrait//**

My eyes are like a hawk. They watch out for me like a gard.

My hands are swords. They tortures others by punching and pinching.

My mouth is a parrot's mouth. I is funny looking and never shuts until it is tired and gets yellow.

My heart holds an anger, that is red as a devil. I live nowhere.

His head is like a cotton. It is a hollow egg shell.
 * //2. Jon't portrait//**

His eyes are like tortoise eyes. It is always dull and dim.

His mind is a crazy laughing monkey. It is restless and bizarre.

His mouth is treeacherous. Everything that you tell comes out in news. HIs heart is holds delusion. That is purple as a lie. He lives in his own detritus thought and world. and eats smash, bash, and harsh, but he's fine.

Short story Reading Assighnment -sally Kim April 13, 2009

__<span style="font-family: 맑은 고딕;">The Summer Swans __ <span style="font-family: 맑은 고딕; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-family: 맑은 고딕;">__The Summer Swans__ is by one of the children’s favorite author, Betsy Byars who gets about 200 fan letters a week! Her award-winning books have been made into TV movies. Also, her books are translated into nine languages. Her four children helped her to have ideas to write books. Most of the main characters in Betsy book are about the children she had met. Although the character Charlie is not one of the children she met, he is purely a fictitious character. Charlie in __The Summer Swan__ is a ten-year-old boy who is developmentally disabled and unable to speak. One summer, Charlie went to the forest to find the swan. Soon, Charlie got lost in the forest and is lost. Sara finds Charlie is missing and goes to the forest with her classmate, Joe, to find Charlie. Sara tries her best without resting. She and Joe shouted and went almost everywhere to find Charlie. When Sara and Joe were about to give up on searching, they heard Charlie’s wail. Sara finds Charlie by following the wail. “She held him against her for a moment and now the hot tears where in her eyes and on her cheeks and she didn’t even notice.” After, Sara finds Charlie, she hugs Charlie with delight. The relationship between the sister and brother here is very touching. I wish I had relationship like that between my families. Sara is very responsible towards her brother. She goes out to the forest without an adult. If I were her, I would sit down in the corner of the room and wait for police to find him. Joe who decides to help Sara is very kind and friendly. Joe is kind enough to help finding Charlie which is not even his brother. When Joe finds Charlie, Joe finds Charlie’s favorite watch broken. He takes his watch and put the watch on his wrist for him. Joe is not only friendly to his classmate Sara. He is also kind to Charlie.

__<span style="font-family: 맑은 고딕;">Old Yeller __ <span style="font-family: 맑은 고딕; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="font-family: 맑은 고딕;">Fred Gipson(1908-1973) used to live in the Mason, Texas with his family. His father used to tell him stories. When he grew up, he became a reporter. He also wrote fiction stories and used his Texas background to inspire the readers. Fred Gipson’s most popular book is __Old Yeller.__ Fred Gipson described the setting in __Old Yeller.__ It was when there were early settlements made in Texas hill country. The things were different. There was one family that had a fourteen-year-old boy, Travis. Travis’ father had to leave for a year-long cattle run. Travis was left with his little brother, Little Arliss, his mom, and Little Arliss’s dog Old Yeller. Travis is very responsible and strong enough to lumber, handle a gun, and run the family. Travis didn’t like Old Yeller because his first appearance was a thief. However, he changes his mind one day. When he was done lumbering, he heard Little Arliss scream. When Travis and his mom ran down to check on him, they realized Arliss was going to be killed by a bear. Then, Old Yeller came and rushed out to fight the bear. It never gave up fighting until Travis’s family was safe in the house. From then, Travis started to like Old Yeller. My favorite part of this story is when Old Yeller ran up the hill after Travis and his family was all safe. I thought that dog will fight until it gets seriously injured. However, it was very clever of Old Yeller to escape as soon as the family was safe. By that way nobody was safe.

__Number the Stars__

__Number the Stars__ is written by an American writer Lois Lowry who is known for writing deep and heavy subjects for children. Throughout her books, she has dealt with complex issues like racism, terminal illness, and Holocaust. __Number the Stars__ and __The Giver__ are the ones that made her famous by gaining her Newbery Award in 1990 and 1994. In the novel __Number the Stars,__ Lowry has dealt with the subject of Holocaust. By 1943, the German troops have occupied Copenhagen, Denmark, for about a year. The life in Copenhagen is filled with the Nazi soldiers marching down the town. The Germans then plan to arrest all the Jews with no particular reasons. On the day of Jewish New Year, Ellen goes to Annemarie’s house to be safe from the Nazis. Annemarie Johansen is Dutch and she is Ellen’s best friend. That night, the Nazi officers come to Johansen’s house to check on Ellen’s family. Ellen pretends she is part of Johansens by pretending as Annemarie’s older sister, Lise. Lise has died long ago due to an accident. Nazi officer suspects Ellen for having a black hair. This is the climax of the story. The problem is resolved when Annemarie’s father shows the real baby Lise’s photo. The baby in the photo had a dark black curly hair. Ellen is saved. “The officer tore the photograph in half and dropped the pieces on the floor. Then he turned, the heels of his shiny boots grinding into the pictures, and left the apartment (139).” This is my favorite scene because the officer disapproved of Ellen’s black hair but could not arrest her because of lack of proof. It makes me feel as though I fooled the evil officer. Although Kirsty and Annemarie are sisters, they have different characteristics. Kirsty is just a naughty, stubborn, and ill-tempered girl. Annemarie thinks Kirsty is such a “pest” (124). Only thing that Kirsty does is complain and complain. Her sister, Annemarie, on the other hand is bold, friendly, and respectful.

1.<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> Suppose you had invented a time machine. Write a story about what you did with it.

Time machine might be a very amazing and wonderful invention. However, it can be powerful. One single action in the past will cause a great deal of the present time. It might even make you never existed. How about a time machine that you can make changes without worrying about that problem? There is one. Right in my lab. This time machine you can go to the past and future like most of the time machine. All the action that you do in the past time will not even cause a bit in the future. It is like just a imagination.

My time machine is small as a tennis ball. It is shaped as a blue diamond. When ever I blow a hot breathe it takes me inside that machine. While I am in the machine the machine is now invisible from the outside view. The inside of the machine is cozy and huge. It has huge screen that has TV channels. This TV is the most special TV. When I type the date and the time in the TV with the remoncotroller, the machine gives me channels all over the world. I can see even 1986 TV shows. TV also can be my computer. I have a keyboard that has 98 keys. I am the only one who can controll this machine. When I go back out, the machine is visible. My time machine is like a human brain except that it doesn't have any feelings. It can read my expression and understand words I say. The time machine can calculate and plan a very complicated problem no other machine can solve. I thought there will be no problem with this machine.

One morning, I wanted to deserve what I did. I wanted to get an honor for inventing a time machine. I couldn't tell anybody because I was afraid some will use it for cruel and evil purpose. So, I thought I can prized myself by using the time machine wisely. VERY WISELY. I planned for being a billionaire. My time machine is like a human brain except that it doesn't have any feelings. The time machine can calculate and plan a very complicated problem no other machine can solve. So, I typed in the machine "How to make my self a billionaire using the time machine," After one hour, the machine replied, "too hard and complicated. Cannot be accomplished. Using this might make a big problem in th future." I typed the same thing again and again untill the time machine powered off. I paniced. This had never happend before.

What could a crazy mom do in a kitchen?
<span style="font-family: 맑은 고딕;">A mom in the kitchen as I know cooks delicious meals! What about a crazy mom in the kitchen? I think she would be cooking the most disgusting and weird food like a witch making a portion. She would be laughing loudly with high and evil pitch as she stirs and mix the weirdest ingredients. In the soup there might be an old back bag, smelly shoes, six crayons, and even some computer chips. Not only that. She would be chopping a chunk of meat splattering the bloods everywhere. While the mom is chopping the meat she would be humming a tune that sounds peaceful. What a crazy mom!!! Since the mom is crazy, her husband wouldn’t share a room with her. That’s why her bedroom is a kitchen. A kitchen as a bedroom!!! That might sound horrifying to you but not for the crazy mom. She also stays all night cooking. She also as always makes a crazy and a wicked laugh that misunderstands the neighbors that there is a ghost. Every day the crazy mom is getting crazier than the day before. She also cooks something worse every day that you can’t call agree she is cooking. Never come and taste the crazy mom’s food or you will not wake up for a week.

//__Liyana__// Today my day was pleasant with Omar until I knew that Khaled was shot,and poppy was taken to the jail, and mother was taken by the soilders. My eyes were filled with tears with terror and sadness. It happened so suddenly. When I met my father in the jail, I felt the pity for him. However, the pitiness didn't last. The unfriendly and unfair soldiers made my pitiness to anger. So, I shouted at them very loudly trying to teach them a lesson that they didn't have to be so mean and cruel. That they can be nicer. Why can't they? Everybody can change and be nicer

2nd day☆:
I wondered why Liyana didn't come to the poetry reading. So, I called her. Then, I found out she forgot! But she said I can go to the Arab village with her. Yes! I finally get to meet her and her parents. The problem is that would her parents like me. I bet her father wouldn't like me because I am Jew. However, the love can't depart us like Romio and Juliet.
 * Omer**

3rd day:
ⓟⓞⓟⓟⓨ For the first in a while, I have been pleased to a Jew. Since the war, I didn't hate them, but didn't like them. Mabe it was becuase the Jew was somebody Liyana loved. Omer. When I first met him, I didn't like him much. But, as we were driving I realized that I was getting loosed and liking Omer. However, I wondered how Liyana and Omer can get together. Ever. Sitti wouldn't allow. Non of my relatives will. Non will exept for mabe me and my wife(Rafik?). Somedays Liyana should break up with Omer before it is too late.

4th day:
<span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Liyana I wonder if Poppy ever liked Omer. In spite of their difference in nationality, Poppy wasn't so mean to him after all. I hoped Poppy and Omer to talk more and learn about each other with open mind. Is Poppy still worried about our relationship? I hope not, we are just friends.

5th day:
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">I read the writting that I wrote before leaving St. Louis. Now, I disagree what I wrote. I realized every day is a new map. Next morning, my mom,dad, and Omer met Sitti. I thought Sitti would disagree our friendship. However, she didn't. Now, I realized everybody agreed to accept Omer as our new friend.

I think the world would be a totally a different place in a worst way. There would be few people because the Earth would be too hot for human to survive. Only few will remain. These people will regret what they have done. There will be only few animals that had adjusted to this environment.

<span style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(14, 226, 246); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">Earth is heating up fast. Fossil fuels are used almost everywhere. The factories, power plants, cars, and etc. use lots of fossil fuel. Fossil fuel should be burned to produce energy. However, when you burn one, large amount of carbon dioxide is produced. The carbon dioxide is released in atmosphere increasing the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causing global warming because carbon dioxide traps heat. The problem is that more factories, power plants, and cars are increasing ever than in the history in Earth making Earth warmer and warmer. Earth normally regulates it self. However, Earth can’t regulate the amount of carbon dioxide because people are releasing too much energy. Not only that. Earth is getting more damage than it should be by carbon dioxide because of deforestation. Plants are the most important living source that replaces the carbon dioxide to oxygen. However, if that source were gone, what would replace the oxygen? The rain forest produces 1/3 of the oxygen in Earth. And the rain forest will be gone by 2030. Other forests will be gone. More and more carbon dioxide will be produced making Earth warmer and warmer in faster speed every year. Haven’t you realized the snow fell less now than ten years ago? The earth is heating up so fast. <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">

I think the world would be a totally a different place in a worst way. There would be few people because the Earth would be too hot for human to survive. Only few will remain. These people will regret what they have done. There will be only few animals that had adjusted to this environment. This had happened because of global warming and weather change. ======

The factories, power plants, cars, and etc. use lots of fossil fuel. Fossil fuel should be burned to produce energy. However, when you burn one, large amount of carbon dioxide is produced. The carbon dioxide is released in atmosphere increasing the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere causing global warming because carbon dioxide traps heat. The problem is that more factories, power plants, and cars are increasing ever than in the history in Earth making Earth warmer and warmer. Earth normally regulates it self. However, Earth can’t regulate the amount of carbon dioxide because people are releasing too much energy. Not only that. Earth is getting more damage than it should be by carbon dioxide because of deforestation. Plants are the most important living source that replaces the carbon dioxide to oxygen. However, if that source were gone, what would replace the oxygen? The rain forest produces 1/3 of the oxygen in Earth. And the rain forest will be gone by 2030. Other forests will be gone. More and more carbon dioxide will be produced making Earth warmer and warmer in faster speed every year. Haven’t you realized the snow fell less now than ten years ago? The earth is heating up so fast. ======
