Literature Review (Conch Bearer)

Chapter 11:

Anand thought that Abhaydatta had died because of him, so he was disappointed. Nisha wanted to know and hear about the Conch so he told her. They reached a lake, but something grabbed her in the leg. When Anand went in, a huge wave hit him, but he was alive. It was because of the conch.

Chapter 12:

Anand and Nisha found a place to stay, and Nisha saw a animal looking at them, so she called him rajah. The animal looked quite strange, though. Then, apes came to attack them, and they brought Anand and Nisha to their cave. The king of the apes looked at Anand and asked for a treasure. When Rajah leaded Anand and Nisha to the safe way the apes couldn't follow.

Chapter 13:

Anand and Nisha were looking for food and Rajah found nuts to eat. While they were going there were two paths, and they didn't know where to go. Anand and Nisha said that they should take the wider path, but Rajah said that they should take the right path. There was a rock with a hand print on it. Nisha’s hand fit, but Anand's didn’t'. When Nisha took off her hand, the path disappeared.

Chapter 14: Anand wrapped his coat around Nisha. Suddenly He heard a evil noise so he turned around and he looked at Nisha. She had an evil look in her face; a familiar look. Somehow Surabhanu went into Nisha's mind and body, and was controlling her. Then he went into a body of a snake. They attacked each other. Surabhanu as the snake, bit Rajah, and made Nisha mad. Then Anand fell and dropped the conch.

Chapter 15: When the spell wore off, they talked to each other. Anand asked Nisha if she were to follow the journey, but her leg hurt. Anand had to continue the journey alone. He said when he arrived to the destination, "Open the pass, Healers, I have brought you for which you have been waiting." But no one answered. Then they asked which of these is the most important Honesty, Loyalty, or compassion? He had to answer until daybreak.

Chapter 16:

He was thinking of a way to answered the question. He thought Nisha would choose loyalty, and he thought Abhaydatta would choose compassion, but he thought of all the virtues. The conch would choose honesty. They were all a part of the question so he chose all three. The healers surprisingly said that he was correct. The healers let Anand bring Nisha into the Calley.

Chapter 17:

For three whole days, Anand was in the valley, but he felt like he was in heaven. He ate ripe, juicy fruits, and he was very comfortable. So he asked Govinda (an apprentice healer) if he could talk to them. He didn't have to do any work. Govinda didn't give Anand much information, but he said that Abhaydatta wasn't responding to anything, nor talking. Just then, he started wondering about Abhaydatta (Rajah) and Nisha. Nisha and Abhaydatta weren't allowed to be visited.

Chapter 18:

The main characters are: Nisha, Abhaydatta, and Anand. Nisha was just an ordinary girl, living as a sweeper girl. There are 3 main characters in this chapter. But, when she went on the journey with Anand, her life changed. But, at the end, she and Anand turned out to be great friends, although sometimes they would get jealous of each other. She felt loved by Abhaydatta, as a granddaughter would. She was always being nosy, and sensitive. Abhaydatta is a compassionate person.

Chapter 19:

Because Anand chose to stay with the healers, he had one last chance to see his family.When he went back to the healers, there was a ceremony. When he saw his family, they seemed happy, since Anand's dad finally came back home! In ceremony, everyone found out that the conch had talked for the first time. Everybody was impressed and surprised. Because the conch and Anand communicated with eachother, he was announced as the new keeper of the conch.

Literature Review (Conch Bearer)

Chapter 1:

Anand's Dad left for Dubai. Because Anand's dad went for Dubai, he kept on sending money to Anand's family so his family is wealthy enough to buy food and live. However, this did not go long because Anand's dad stopped sending money to the family. Therefore, Anand's sister didn't have enough money to go to school. Later on, a strange man told Anand that if you share stuff with other people, you will feel very optimistic.

Chapter 2:

Since Anand's family doesn't have money, Anand had to stay up and work until late. He was extremely worried if the markets were closed when he had to buy food for his family. When he finds one market that is open, he buys an expensive mango. However, while going back to his house, he loses his mango. After he arrives to his own house, he listens to the old grandpas story.

Chapter 3:

While making food for his family, he listens to the grandpas stories, which was about the conch. Every time the old person told the story very specifically, Anand grew more and more interest about the journey of the story. When the old person ended the story, he asks Anand to take a journey to protect the conch and Anand becomes fascinated. However, his mother and sister didn't like the idea of the journey. Since it seemed that Anand really wanted to go, the old person asks his mother.

Chapter 4:

After finishing the main dish of the food, the old man brought up a dessert, which was the mango that he bought at the store. By looking at this, Anand becomes mad, however, he tries to control his mind. Because he felt fooled, Anand asks to the old man if Anand himself could see the conch thinking about to snatch it as well. After showing Anand the conch, the old man realizes that he can fix and heal Anand's sister's illness.

Chapter 5:

When Anand had gone to the "sleep mode", he had a dream that was actually a nightmare. After the nightmare, he heard her sister Meera sound very optimistic. And the next thing that he realized is that the old man had heal Meera. The next thing that he was doing was to go right to his mother to tell the "secret" powers of the old man. After explaining about the man for hours (?), his mother finally had agreed about going on a journey with the old man.

Chapter 6:

In chapter 6, the three people, Anand, Girl, and Surabhanu begins their journey to protect the conch. Anand is extremely excited to experience this kind of journey. He sees the girl who helped him to find the train before. He puts the girl too to the journey. Then, the old man turns into Surabhanu, and begins to attack and torture them. However, because the candy boy saw them getting tortured, he helped them to survive. After getting better, they try to find the old man, Surabhanu.

Chapter 7:

In chapter 7, there are 3 main characters, who are Nisha, Anand, and Abhaydatta. Nisha is the girl who was getting tortured with Anand by Surabhanu. Abhaydatta explains that Nisha is an extremely dangerous name, although Nisha likes her name. Their first destination is Pathankot, which was a long route and safe. When they decided the place where they are going to sleep, Anand feels if he is watched. He immediately wakes up Abhaydatta.

Chapter 8:

During their journey, they stop at Koila Ganzi to rest there. When they first went to the inn, the owner rejected them because he didn't believe them. However, by Abhaydatta, they finally could have slept in there. But, while they were resting, Anand and Abhaydatta is still worried about the ambush of Surabhanu. Abhaydatta knew that Surabhanu was going to attack them and so he gave the conch to Anand saying that they should go to Silver Valley by themselves when they are attacked.

Chapter 9:

As Nisha woke up Anand, he tried to remember the dream that he had. However, he only remembered the general descriptions not the specific, which made him feel very frustrated. One of the most important dream is the one-eyed dear. The story about the one- eyed dear is that there was a dear with one eye. One day, it saw a tiger trying to kill him/her and so ran from the tiger. However, later, the dear got killed by hunters because the only eye was looking at the tiger, not the people.

Chapter 10:

Later on, Abhaydatta brought in some plants into the fire to protect and guard themselves from Surabhanu. They took turns to guard and look if someone is coming until Anand suggested that he can come from the caves. While washing their faces to get out of "sleepiness", Abhaydatta knew that Surabhanu was approaching. Suddenly, the light went off. The next thing that Anand and Nisha realized is that Abhaydatta was gone.

Her books were not only helped or motivated by the children of hers, but also were read by those children who loved Betsy Byars' stories. Charlie was only trying to find the swans he had seen previously. However, he soon got lost in the wide vastness of forest, and Sara searched around for her brother until she found him wandering around in the forest.

This story took place in the forest with a green valley. But the time setting was present-days where majority of the countries were full of tall skyscrapers and buildings. This setting adds to the story the detail that it would have been more difficult for Sara to look for her brother, Charlie.

Sara, Charlie, and Joe were the main characters of this story. All of them were significant in the story because they made the story really like as if it was a real scene that happens. Sara was very kind, Charlie was determined, and Joe was a resourceful character.

My favorite part of this story was when Sara found Charlie and hugged him. It was so impressive because I thought about how I would act if I was Sara. I could feel how she would have felt and imagine the scene.

The main event that happened in the book was when Dara Lynn falls into the river. However, the event that wasn’t peculiar was that the tree men, Judd, Shiloh, and Marty jumped in the river because I didn’t think that would happen.

The setting is the river that Lynn fell in. I think that could be the setting, since that is where the main event took place. So I think that the river is the source of the entire climax and the main events of the story.

The characters that come out in the book are Marty, Judd, and Shiloh. They are all characters that have unique characteristics through out the story. Marty has to exist in the book because he is the narrator, and Judd is also very important since he shows a lot of change in his personality. Shiloh is also and important character of the story, since she is the one who made the friendship develops between Marty and Judd, who didn't get along easily.

My favorite part of the story is when Judd jumps in the water because at the first part of the story, I thought he was a selfish, greedy, and a person who cares about only himself. The time when he became nicer to people was very unusual.

In addition, when she attended Brown University, she concentrated on the writing, but left college before graduation to get married. She wrote books such as **__Summer to Die__**, **__The Giver__**, and **__Number the Stars__**.

The major events that happened in the story from the literature book are that the Mister and Misses Rosen had to move because of the occupation of the Germans. However, Ellen stays at the Johansen ’ <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 바탕;">s house for few days because it would be harder for the Rosen ’ <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 바탕;">s to travel far distances with Ellen. When Annemarie, Ellen, and Kristi was having a good time, the German soldiers came to their house to search if he Johansen ’ <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 바탕;">s are protecting some of the Rosen ’ <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 바탕;">s since the Rosen ’ <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 바탕;">s house was empty.

The setting of the story is 1943 when the German soldiers have occupied the Denmark during the World War 2.This adds to the story by thinking that the author is trying to articulate that the Danish people were having a hard time during both occupation and the WW2 (world war 2).

The significant characters that come out in the novel **__Number the Stars__** are Annemarie, the main character, Ellen, Annemarie ’ <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 바탕;">s best friend, and Kristi, who is Annemarie ’ <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 바탕;">s little sister. In addition Annemarie ’ <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 바탕;">s parents comes out to who are Mr. Johansen and Ms. Johansen. First of all, Annemarie ’ <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 바탕;">s characteristics are that she is very courageous and brave because she didn ’ <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 바탕;">t show the scarceness in her facial expression when she met the German officials.

My favorite part of the story is when the German officials come into the Johansen ’ <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: 바탕;">s house and tries to find the Jewish Ellen, but Mr. Johansen shows a picture of Lise that is similar to Ellen. Therefore, Ellen gets to be safe.

My ideal place to live is where I could see the sea outside the window, isolated from the other towns and cities, and a place where nobody could find me. In addition, I prefer a place where I could plant trees, such as Sacura (japanese tree), Korea's Country flower, Mugungwha, and other types of trees too. I think that living there by myself would be too boring, so I might invite my friends and my siblings 4times in a week. (Saturday: my friends), (Sunday: my siblings) would come to my house and talk about business and other fun stuffs too. Also, if possible, I am going to make a kind of automobile that drives us to a destination without driving and needing gasoline. It would be my paradise.

Poppy drove everyone home and said that he would also drive Omer home because it was late.

Today, Poppy asked me if I felt comfortable here. I just said sometimes I get homesick but not daily. Omer seemed to like and be thrilled at our place. Omer and I was talking some words in our each language laughing, but I didn't get why it was funny. I guess he was talking in Hebrew and Arabic. To understand both of them, I think I need to learn Hebrew too.

It was Khaled ’ <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: HY크리스탈M;">s s birthday and he had to stay in the hospital. After that, I came home. I had this news from Susan that Poppy will be released tonight. Abu Jana told me some people died because of the bomb. And I felt horrible when I got to know that Omer was going to fieldtrip that I can ’ <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: HY크리스탈M;">t see him for a long time.

Question:We are learning all the time. Write about something you have learned recently and how it has affected you.

We are learning all the time even now. I learned that using too much of nonrenewable resources will bring acid rains, photochemical smogs, and even brings up the temperature higher than ever. And learning these facts in science class, this effected me by making me pull out the plugs of the computers or any electric things to reduce the amount of electricy used that is produced from nonrenewable resources, fossil fuels. Also, I learned that

First of all, learning that using too much fossil fuels will lead us to global warming. The global warming is a critical damage to the planet earth because if the temperature rises constantly, the ices of the north and south pole will melt, which causes the water height in the ocean rise too. If that happens, most of the countries in europe, such as France, England, and Netherland would be under water. Not only the countries in Europe are in danger, but other countries such as Japan, parts of China and Russia will be under water, which will cause a serious damage to the economy of their country.

Second, if we use all the resources that we have right now, later, we will have to rely on the technology of the renewable resources, such as geothermal energy and sun energy. However, the sun energy can't be always reliable because when the sky isn't clear and full of clouds, we aren't going to get energy from it. So later on, we will be going to have to suffer of the need of fossil fuels if we use them all in the point of time, right now.

Finally, when we are to reduce the amount used of fossil fuels from now, we can stop the constantly increasing temperature and the causing of global warning. Also later we wouldn't have to rely on the new methods of getting energy, which might and might not be that useful.

In conclusion, I learned that using too many fossil fuels at once will cause a disaster later, which is the global warning and drown the countries that are just above the surface of the oceans in science class with Mr. Sickles.

 * How was her 15th birthday like? Describe the scene specifically
 * Who does she meet in the library while she was looking for a book?
 * Who was the character that she had the 2nd kiss with?

3 sentence summary On her birthday, she gets alot of presents. Then, Omar suddenly gives a present to Liyana, which is the green lamp in the **__//Sandrounis' ceramics shop//__** that was a real suprise for her and expensive for Liyana. After her Birthday party, Liyana and Rafik goes to the library. She meets Omar and when they came up torward each other, Omar gave Liyana a sudden Kiss...

A prediction
I think that Liyana will suddenly like this place, but she still wants to go to America(only a little bit). Also even though Poppy gets to know about the kiss that Omar and Liyana had, they wouldn't let go of each other, which means that I think the story will be a HAPPY ending.
